Melissa Moshe :: Small World for Left Hands

Melissa Moshe’s songs are poetry. There simply is no other way to describe her songwriting. Her music digs deep into the soul of the listener; forcing them to look inward and analyze their lives. I listened to her Cd several times and the ore I listened, the more I found that her music was relatable to a broad audience. She sings of love, loss and inward searching and yearning. The music is always arranged perfectly and her vocals though poignant and many times heartbreakingly real have a soul that transcends what most people think an Indie Folk Musician should be. Folk music is meant to make a person reflect; Melissa does that with near perfection. As I listened over and over, I found myself flashing back to times in my life; heartbreak and all. The Cello music played on various songs by Hope Easton and Adrienne Woods, add a touch that draws the discerning taste of a music lover in; while Melissa sings in her pitch perfect voice. Though every song on her Cd is worth a mention; “Suburbia” hits home for those stuck between their lives inside and outside their careers, and yearning to be someplace quiet for a change. Her 1st track song “Small World for Left Hands” ponders what your life would be like if you chose one decision rather than the other and makes you want to ponder whether you had made the right moves and actions in your own life, do we ever know if the twists and turns we took in our lives from our own free will are ever right? I am not sure, but she brings what we all think to the forefront. In “Time or Place” She sings of what seems to be a lost love, and how she wants that person in her life forever. The yearning for a lost or relationship that never quite hit its stride love lingers deep into a person’s psyche. Every song is worth a listen; especially for those into deep contemplation of where their lives are now and where they were.
