| so long, so much has changed...It's been a long time since I've filled you in on my life.
I'm in my second semester at KU in Lawrence, KS. I absolutely love it here. I was recently accepted into the 6 person group, the Jazz Singers. It's challenging... but I love working hard. Our concert is November 8th (it was changed from the 6th) at 7:30pm. I only have 3 semesters left after this one and I'm excited about finishing. But for now I'm just going to enjoy being a college student while it lasts.
That's all for now, I'll write again soon. | | |
| Another Song...I wrote a country song to sing at Sundown Salute in Junction City, KS this past Saturday.
Here it is, and it is truly country. Enjoy.
(It will be on my website, www.kelsieclark.com very soon.
Once the site is up and running you'll be able to hear it.)
V1
It seemed so right at the time
Packing up my bags and saying goodbye
To my momma, my daddy, my three sisters too
Music City here I come
With my dreams on my back
And my face towards the sun
Just give me my time and one hit song
This feels so right that it can’t be wrong
Chorus
But Tennessee wasn’t right for me
Those city lights are bright it’s true
And the grass was green the sky was blue
But I-70 was calling me
To golden plains where wheat is grown
Your sweet sunflower’s headed home
I’m a Kansas girl through and through
V2
You can say, “well she tried
To make it big in Nashville, too bad that’s life”
But I know where my heart it is and right here it’s home
Exit Two-ninety-five
Where my Daddy sells chevys
And my Momma saves lives
You know what it’s okay, that I’m not some big star
One things this has taught me, be happy where you are
Chorus
Bridge
And I’ll keep on drivin’
‘Till I see that GM sign
And those city lights are far behind
Straight on down the highway
‘Till I’m safe with family
Where I first learned how to sing
Chorus 2
But Tennessee wasn’t right for me
Those city lights are bright okay
But I’m headed now the other way
On I-70 is where I’ll be
Towards golden plains where wheat is grown
This sweet sunflower’s finally home
I’m a Kansas girl
I'm a Daddy's girl
I'm a Kansas girl through and through

| You may remember...That amazing experience that I had while driving in my car in Nashville, TN. Let me remind you...
While driving to work the sky grew dark. Very dark. At 5:00 in the evening it was black outside. It was not raining yet but I could feel it coming. Traffic was backed up and while stopped at a red light something caught my attention. In the corner of my eye I saw a woman. I turned down my music, as if it would help me see better, and squinted into the distance. Down the hill, standing between two trees was a woman, dressed in all black, with long dark hair and pale skin. She stood facing the wind, her hair trailing behind her. I watched her for a minute. She reached her left hand out and touched the tree beside her. Her other hand moved up in front of her and felt the air. Her head tilted back and she looked up into the sky, waiting, waiting for the rain. Her left hand followed suit and before I realized what she was doing it started to rain. There she stood, eyes and hands reached up into the sky, and it started to rain.
I heard a honk behind me and realized that traffic had begun to move. When I put my foot on the pedal I looked over to watch her as I drove away. But she was gone.
Well I haven't been able to write music for some time now...more than sometime...months and months.
But I sat and remembered this incredible exprience and some music came to me, followed by some lyrics. What do you think?
She stands so still.
As the leaves spin around her.
She remains sure of where she stands.
Even though the wind could pick her up and carry her away.
She's waiting there for something.
She's reaching out for something.
She's longing for the storm to shake her sould.
She touches the world around,
She inhales the world around her.
But needs something more, something more.
She cries...
"I want to taste your rain.
I want to taste your rain."
Eyes lifted high with her mouth open wide to the sky:
"I want to taste your rain."
I rub my eyes.
I squint in to the darkness.
Unsure of what I see.
Is that really me standing at the mercy of the sky?
The cars drive around me.
They're honking now to move me.
But I cannot budge until she lets me go.
He hair flies as the wind blows.
Her skin shines in the street lights.
The raing begins to pour! Oh yes, it pours!
She stands and tastes the rain.
She stands and tastes the rain.
Eyes full and bright with her mouth open wide to the sky.
She stands and tastes the rain.
The music it is set to really makes the song. Wish you could hear it.
I plan on writing more...adding, changing.
But here is the rough draft!

| I don't have much experience. But what's experience but someone elses view of how you should do things? Auditioning for plays, commercials, musicals is terrifying for me because I don't have much on my resume but college and community theatre. Maybe someone will see in me exactly what they want for their new hit show, maybe I'll be the girl that will fill the lead role in their vision! I've got "it" now all I need is experience.
"I feel the calling of adventure and I hear the ringing in my ears.The lights are glaring, the trumpets blaring, I'm right here!" | | |
| Fear is a waste of time. It holds you captive and hinders you from enjoying the possibilities in life. If you're always afraid of what "might be," you can't truly love what "is."
I'm taking a new approach to life...no more fear. No more time wasted.
