“Superstorm Sandy hit close to home for songwriter. Many years have come and gone Since that dark September day Many of our wounds have healed But the scars won’t go away "Fallen Heroes 9-11" When disaster strikes, Carmella Inchierchiera breaks out in song. It’s not that she’s callous and unfeeling; quite the contrary. She’s a songwriter, and putting lyrics on paper is a catharsis that helps her deal with the looming specters of disaster, destruction and death. She’s written songs about 9-11, Hurricane Katrina, homeless and troubled veterans and the Gulf oil spill. But the disaster du jour "Superstorm Sandy" is challenging even her prolific songwriting talents. This one hit far too close to home for her. Before she and her husband Paul moved to FLorida in 2005, she grew up and spent 45 years on Staten Island, which took a direct him from the monster storm that all but obliterated parts of New York and New Jersey. She works exclusively with Nelson Blanchard, an award-winning p”

“As we observe the Anniversary of Sept, 11 2001 let's all rekindle the spirit of unity that characterized the response on the Sept, 11 attacks.It can be a lasting virtue, not just 1 day but everyday. "We were united" The smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9-11. So as we mark this solemn anniversary, let's all summon that spirit once again.

“I know everyone's enjoying the last day of summer vacation, but with the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 less than a week away, I felt this song was more appropriate than a summer party song. No words can ever fully express the horror and sorrow of that terrible day, but as songwriters it's our job to try. Songwriters must face both the best and worst of our human experience. In this song our ICMA friends, Carmella Inchierchiera and Nelson Blanchard, take on both at the same time and succeed in delivering a heartfelt tribute to those who risked everything on that day. Whatever your political beliefs, please take a moment to reflect on the fact that there is evil in this world, and take a moment to give thanks to the heroes among us - both then and now.”

“Her home, though neat and tidy, hides traces of her obsession. If you look in Camella Inchierchiera's Cape Coral home studio, you'll find scraps of paper, napkins and notebooks scrawled with words - song lyrics - in every corner. There have been times I've been away from my house, so I called and left them on the answering machine," Inchierchiera said. "Eventually, I bought a tape recorder. That's how she came across her musical pen name, Lyricsinmyhead, she said. Inchierchiera wrote her first song at 16 and titled it "Daddy is a Truck Driver Man" - which echoed her real-life experience, growing up in Pennsylvania with her father, who spent many weeks at a time on a truck. He was her musical inspiration, as he raised her with music from Johnny Horton and Marty Robbins from his special record collection. ”

“Carmella, Well we finally did it! I had a lot of doubts along the way but with persistence paid off in the end ..On behalf of Terry Latham, and myself , The Board of Hope Haven and the Children they serve..Thank you from the bottom of our Hearts for your contribution to this project..It has already and will continue to benefit these Kids for years to come.. Our Song, Homeless, Hungry, Crying In The Rain..was donated for release on the..Songs For Hope..Charity Cd..”

— Scott Rogers..Project Coordinator, Hope Haven Children Services..

“‎Carmella Inchierchiera is one lady who has done more to make us aware of the trials of living in the twenty first century than anyone else i know. She does this through building music that expands our awareness of ecological troubles, the trials of the homeless, and overall has created music and lyric that send a firm message to everyone that we need to care more about each other and take care of our world before we lose both. An inspiration to me coming from the sixties folk generation, I consider her the new 'Bob Dylan' with a better attitude. We love you lady ... Take a side trip to this website and support her efforts.”
