    This song defines me and my life's journey. I have experienced loneliness, anxiety, depression. I't a lonely road that only someone who's been down the same Path would understand. May ALL who travel this Road find rest and peace.

My post related to the comment of Mr. Woolrich who waxed lyrical about what he alleged was the purity of her voice. I consider his comment ill informed and unreasonable. Relative to his claims her voice is uneven and what she does with it at times does not merit praise of any kind.

    Hayley, sings like something other-worldly, angelic, with a softness and beauty it immediately captures your heart then your imagination then your soul. How do you describe something like this? The only real definition would come by way of a song itself, a song sang back to the singer in order to capture the essence of beauty in feeling. This is the work of God.
