“I’ve never heard anyone sing my lyrics with me while I perform so I think every song is going to be special because of that.”

To say this past year of my life has been unbelievable is an understatement. Amidst all of the madness 2020 has brought us, there have been some spots of brightness. This is a dream come true.

It’s starts with a story, then the music, Melody and lyrics last.

I would say back to work; but I never left.

Take Time 5 months today. I never would’ve expected all this to happen so fast.

Always good to see the city win.

Thinkin bout the days we use to be.

Everything I write is based on true story. So now I’m just experiencing things and letting the songs come to me.

I’m not sure why everyone wants to age me.

I get the feeling so I’m sure.

Each pendant has a special meaning so I try not to leave the house without them.

I’ve been told my voice is weird my whole life but now I’m Grammy Nominated with Platinum and Gold songs. Just believe in yourself, stay humble, and be a good person.

Saying things you don’t mean, to the one that means the world to you.

I knew it was going to take time, but I’ll be good when it’s all said and done.

Time really flies, feels like yesterday when I met you in July.

For public opinion does not admit that lofty rapturous laughter is worthy to stand beside lofty lyrical emotion and that there isall the difference in the world between it and the antics of a clown at a fair.

Tom Sleigh’s poetry is hard-earned and well founded. I great admire the way it refuses to cut emotional corners and yet achieves a sense of lyric absolution.

In fact, in lyric poetry, truthfulness becomes recognizable as a ring of truth within the medium itself.

If I knew the language enough to know it was a horrible love song with stupid lyrics.

I am delighted at Des’s support in these elections. And thank him for his rewrite of the lyrics of Send in the Clowns which we are planning to sing at our South East conference.

Probably some of the songs I never even really listened to the lyrics.

The lyrics are not an important thing to me. In fact, it can be a distraction.

You want the lyrics to match the melody, because if you are composing a song or recording a song, it’s cacophonous if they don’t match.
