The union of music and lyrics is usually a happy one: both partners bring the necessary fulfillment to each other and a beautiful song is like a lifelong relationship – two entities bound perfectly together. But the relationship is not exclusive. Many times one can live a full and successful life without the other.
This collection illustrates that principle. If you don’t know Lisa-marie Lyle, you might read her work, feel the underlying musicality and think “that should be a song”. And you would be right, because sometimes it is.
Is this then a collection of lyrics? Maybe in some ways. Maybe some of the poems that follow are the skeletons of songs yet unborn, or are waiting to be reborn. But it’s an artificial distinction to separate a lyric from a poem. There is no difference. One is enhanced by music, one lives unfettered in its own world. Or both worlds. If you hear the music as you read, so much the better.
This collection skips freely in time, from year to year. If there is a theme, it is the theme of honesty. Sometimes bold, sometimes introspective, sometimes raw … you won’t leave these pages without knowing that you have experienced something very real, something without artifice.
These are not poems written for the sake of being written. They are downloads from the heart, as direct and untreated as they can be by someone who has lived the emotions of which she writes.
