'Shining In My Hair' Licensed by
Story Behind the
Music: One day early in the month of September, 2005, I was
doing cartwheels and handstands as usual when I started thinking about
how great my life had been. And as I often would, started singing a song to
go with what I was feeling and thinking about when I became aware of the
song I was creating almost without realizing it.
I was looking up at the sky and thought of lyrics such as 'birds that fly' and 'high in the sky.' But the most important line I came up with was what became the title, 'Shining In My Hair;' which I meant to suggest that I was different from others; something everyone noticed but can't put their finger on. While walking back to class with the sun shining on me, I realized that I might forget this by the time I got home so I used 'dots' that go up and down to help me remember. A trained musician would not be able to do this--but I could. Innocent and child-like, who would know that nine months later it would be a record...I did!

Professional Reviews
"Good music in verses [and] choruses...vocals are soft and pretty...Good sectional contrast...Good use of imagery...Communicates emotion to listener...Excellent use of dynamics." ---Taxi, July 20, 2006 "Hi, Deirdre; [You are] A sweet singer, I definitely feel your artistry here shows the potential to be worth considering forwarding...I like the overall feeling here, kind of moody & bittersweet, although there's also somewhat of a 'new age' vibe to me...I also like the theme..." ---Taxi, May 8, 2007 "Thank you for letting me hear your work. You have a wonderful voice, reminiscent of Six Pence None The Richer, expressive. You have strong melodic instincts and are definitely on the right path there. Good melodic hooks...The lyrics paint a pretty picture...You have some really artistic and creative ideas..." ---Taxi, June 25, 2007 "A beautiful, evocative lyric! This is a strong album cut for you as an artist, Deirdre. Your structure is solid. Melodically this is a timeless pop song...Just a beautiful song!" ---Taxi, September, 2007 "This is a beautiful song with a strong melodic hook and a sweet innocence about it. Wonderful vocal and musical performances..." ---Taxi, April 21, 2008
