Joyce Trudeau

Joyce Trudeau has been writing poetry for years, but there has always been a song rolling around in her head. It didn't crystalize because she needed an emotional impetus. She found that impetus and has projected it into her lyrics. Her devotion to rhythm and rhyme lends itself well to song lyrics. Joyce likes to experiment with different themes - funny, upbeat, downbeat, love, and you done me wrong themes, trying to present the subject from a unique angle. She's always lending her music to a country vibe, but it can be adapted to different vibes. She longs to hear her lyrics put to music, but that is not her talent. So, for now, she writes the words.

If you're like me, you always try to take the high road. But sometimes the insult is so great, the pain so profound that it's justifiable to take the low road.
The most poignant of songs are generated out of the most emotional life experiences. I'm afraid that is the case with this song. I give people a box of tissues when I let them read this song. But I'm told that sad songs stimulate the same area of the brain as happy ones, actually making us feel better. Writing this was certainly a cathartic experience for me.
If you ever had trouble defending your point of view in an argument, no matter how strong your conviction, then this song is for you. It's a very resolute song so it should be paired with resolute music with conviction. These lyrics could be adapted to different styles - rap, pop, classic rock. The chorus could be used as something inspirational - such as in a commercial. It's a song about standing up for your beliefs, doing what is right and improving the world and its people.
Can we use another song about crying in your tequila when your spouse leaves you? I think there is always room for one more. I love this man's blatant honesty that there will be tears.
As we get closer to the grave and look back and take stock of our lives, we see the mistakes we have made. What I love about these lyrics is this person's re-commitment to his (or her) partner and desire to re-ignite their love.
