Dog Walking Writing...

So I am walking my dog and thinking about the BS that my life is, and this little song popped out of my head and onto paper (well, my google notes in my phone "paper"...heh) kind of retarded, and the melody in my head has me picturing square dancing in big poodle type skirts... don't ask me why... I am goofy... They say life is short but it feels oh so long When struggles have made me their happy home You’d think that with all I’ve been through and survived And come out the clear winner on the backside That nothing would phase me it’d slide off my back So why do I feel like I’m starting to crack Its brake lights on highways and bills I can’t pay It’s no food to eat at the end of the day Its pillows for comfort of arms I can’t feel It’s searching through people to find something real With all that has happened, one thing is real clear It's no wonder my best friends this cold can of beer My apartment is tiny, I live in a box Just one window to look out and the dryer, it sucks My dog probably hates me, I’m never at home My life gets neglected so I don’t feel alone My workload’s too heavy, and it don’t match my pay Nothing waits but my homework, and much to my dismay… There’s brake lights on highways and bills I can’t pay There’s no food to eat at the end of the day There’s pillows for comfort of arms I can’t feel There’s searching through people to find something real… With all that has happened, one thing is real clear It's no wonder my best friends this cold can of beer I go sing my heart out, and paint on my show face No questions get asked, not a care in the place So, I’ll sleep when I’m dead and my homework can wait… It’s no wonder my best friends this cold can of beer It’s no wonder my best friends this cold can of beer

Thank You

I wanted to send out a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to listen to even one of my covers. Music has always been such a personal place for me, and I have watched myself change exponentially since I started sharing my passion with others.

I have become very serious about my writing of late thanks to a friend who pushes me to be the best I can be. Friends like that are hard to come by and are appreciated more than they know. I hope all of you will continue to stick around for what the future has in store for Rebecca Rose... I, for one, am very excited about the future of my music!

If you haven't already, (and only 15 have, so this means YOU! =D ), please take a few moments to download the Rebecca Rose app on the front page. It is absolutely free, and updates automatically with any new material I post - be it music, photos, event info, videos, blogs, etc. and won't buzz your phone every five minutes!! What do you have to lose? And, best of all, you are supporting a local artist just trying to get out there!!

Thank you all for your continued support... seriously... I appreciate you! =)

Life is Change

It's funny how in life, we always think we have it all figured out. We prepare, we learn, we try, we do everything we think is necessary. But inevitably, something changes. Maybe its bad, maybe its good, maybe its neither...

Regardless, I have learned to roll with the punches and not let life's changes affect me any more than they actually should. I have embraced the known and am ready for the unknown.

After joining my band, a series of changes started that was out of my control. Our bass player died suddenly, our keyboardist then decided to leave, which left us at 3 and not a full band. Fast forward two months and we have gotten all of our pieces back in sync.

I am ecstatically looking forward to the changes that this will bring, and the adventures in music we will all gleefully ride. We have a recording opportunity as well, and I hope to be able to put some of our tunes out there for you to enjoy!

Band: Frank - Guitar/Songwriting/Vocals, Rick - Drums, Kevin - Bass, Phil - Keys, Rebecca - Lead Vocal.

New Band - New Music

I am so excited to say that I have recently joined forces with a band of talented musicians. Our band is F&F Blues Project, and consists of five members. Frank on lead guitar, Jim on Bass, Tom on Keys, and Kenny on Drums.. Vocals, well that would be me, with a little Frank on the side!

I am working hard to learn all of their existing original music (3 hours worth), and can't wait to share it with all of you online and better yet, LIVE!!

Keep your eyes peeled and your ears open... we are coming soon!

Love

I had the wonderful opportunity to sing at a friend of 20+ years wedding two weekends ago. It was most certainly my honor, and I enjoyed every moment of it! I love "Love", and I hope one day to find it again...

You will find love at the most unexpected time in the most unexpected place. Unfortunately patience is required. LOL

Joy

Even though summer is half over, I have had such an amazing time getting to sing every weekend. No, I am not a professional... I sing karaoke with the good, bad, and mediocre! I have never been paid cash to sing. But what I am paid in emotion, the feeling in my soul, the energy from the crowd, and the pure joy I get when I put everything I have into a song is worth WAY more to me than being a "Pro"!

LIfe

I love that life is always a country song... might not always be good, sometimes it's downright miserable, but no matter what I am feeling or going through... there is a song for that! =D
