Where is truth? Why have you adapted to live in so much pain?
lyrics
Song written for and by Valerie Troutt
Where is Truth
Dreams like rain come from the sky
and loves a mystery
strong hearts strong minds build strength to care, but sometimes life seems to much to bare.
why can't I live life
why can't I be who, I know I am
why can't I live day by day in a patient way without worrying about me
why can't I find truth is this world
why can't I find joy
why can't I find truth in your eyes
where is the truth?

This album is spoken word, music and just the truth... Joyce Lee is a rare breed of a woman and her offerings pave the way for new thought and a new world. Valerie Troutt
Since discovering Spellling she has quickly become one of my favorite artists and litsening to her music has helped me through some rough times. It is music with a whimsical wonderous element that revives the spark within me :) fladelito
This could’ve been my album of the year if I’d noticed it. Hell.
2020, feeling like shit and then this musical balm appears. Live recording on one mic. Just bass and harp. Awesome. It swings like a pendulum do!
Big shout out for Dezron’s love of coffee. I now have 2 of his albums and he’s proselytising on behalf of coffee on both. Damn right ☕️ Crinklechips
