Sheila Blackburn

Sheila B's lyrics reflect an in depth connection to the events and feelings that impact people's lives in a very real way. She writes with sympathy and understanding about human emotions and the human situation, not just romantic love but also love that grapples with issues such as dementia, depression and suicide or social issues that touch our lives. In spite of the sometimes somber themes her words are not bleak and never banal but strive to give an insight and expression to the complex feelings and situations life throws our way. These Lyrics bridge the gap between poetry and song to create a medium that meaningfully explores and illuminates what it is to be human.
