    Nashville is right next door. You are close enough. I'm they will love your music there as much as we do elsewhere. Good music is good music. Transcends time and locale.

      I'm not a feeler by nature, but your performance definitely moved me--it's inevitable when I'm witnessing authentic emotions. Great job. :)

    Memphis
    Você vai me ligar de manhã?
    Porque eu notei o olhar em seus olhos
    Quando nossas mãos se tocaram, nos olhando como boxeadores
    Lutando por prêmios de campeonato
    Eu estava apenas procurando diversão
    Eu nunca pensei que encontraria
    E voltarei às rotina de trabalho amanhã
    Os tempos são difíceis e as contas são profundas
    Eu mal consigo me virar, não posso cuidar de você, então
    Oh, eu sei que nós tivemos uma boa jornada
    Mas não há pressão para seguir
    Alguns nunca cruzam o oceano
    Eu só fiquei descalça na praia
    Eu nunca estive em Memphis
    Mas eu juro que irei algum dia
    E se eu, se estou sendo honesta
    Eu nunca estive apaixonada antes
    Eu só tenho perseguido sombras
    Rezando para que espere por mim
    Você não vai me ligar de manhã
    Tudo bem, querido, não é surpresa
    Além disso, ouvi dizer que você tem uma garota em casa
    Ela deve ter deslizado da sua mente, bem
    Nós estávamos fora nos divertindo
    E essas coisas sempre acontecem sem aviso pela manhã
    Sempre a faísca, nunca a chama
    Alguns nunca cruzam o oceano
    Eu só fiquei descalça na praia
    Eu nunca estive em Memphis
    Mas eu juro que irei algum dia
    E se eu, se estou sendo honesta
    Eu nunca estive apaixonada antes
    Eu só tenho perseguido sombras
    Rezando para que espere por mim
    E eu posso ficar sozinha um pouco mais se isso significar
    Que o amor está subindo como o amanhecer para brilhar em mim
    Eu estou correndo, a vida não é tão longa quanto parece
    Não vai esperar por mim
    Eu vou atravessar o oceano
    E nadar até eu perder a costa de vista
    Eu nunca estive em Memphis
    Mas estou a caminho
    E estou apenas sendo honesta
    Mas eu nunca estive apaixonada antes
    E eu vi suas sombras
    Sim, eu vi sua sombra
    Oh eu vi suas sombras
    Rezando para que espere por mim

    Beautiful !!! Can you feel the conviction???? Joy sings with deep deep feelings. The videos are great but listening to her sing I can feel the words, can feel the power she puts into every lyric. Can you relate?? There is always something in her songs that I can relate to. Some songs you can really feel the pain. I take my feelings and put them to paper. I think Joy does the same. I like taking feelings and turning them into something creative. It's been years since I've done this. I would like to share some of my lyric writings with Joy. I'm good with writing but not with putting music to them. Does anyone know how to contact Joy?
