Mixed for Coccinella

I came into a room filled with unknown faces
I didn't know if I would fit in
But after I looked into each of their souls
My heart was overcome and the tears began to flow

They were light years ahead of where I wanted to be
So many years ago when that dream was for me
Everyone needs to be in the company of their peers
I'm glad I found you all I'm glad I am here

To find a stairway I've been afraid to climb
To go on this journey with these new friends of mine
To peel back the layers I've been hiding for so long
To find a deeper meaning and find where I belong 

I'm happy now because I had another dream
That dream came true and I never looked back
So here I am again chasing the dream I left behind
Who knows maybe I'll get it right this time

I've been stuck in the past and the world has passed me by
So many things have changed I sometimes just want to cry
The years pass so quickly so before I die
I need to reach inside and free the thoughts I hide

To find a stairway I've been afraid to climb
To go on this journey with these new friends of mine
To peel back the layers I've been hiding for so long
To find a deeper meaning and find where I belong 

Lets take this journey together and may you all succeed
You have the talent and desire to reach even higher
Peel back that onion and write the honesty within you
Nothing can hold you back from anything you set your mind to

A Heartfelt Hello

Introspective look at my life



I'm OK

Well it's not easy to bear my soul
I never wanted to be in a picture show		
Under a spotlight that shines down on me					
Revealing secrets for all the world to see

I'm OK / I'm alright					
Living the way I do
Seeing life from both sides
Is a unique point of view

These walls that once surrounded me
Hid the fears and my insecurity
Changes came relieving my pain
Nothing would ever be quite the same
Time passes an old life that was torn
Reveal's another waiting to be born 

I'm OK/ I'm Alright
Please don't worry about me
I'm doing fine right now
Living a life meant for me

It's not easy when fear hold's you down
look it in the eye and kick it to the ground

On the other side there's no turning back
I'm where I need to be my sanity intact
Still the same only better this time around
The nights are calm from the peace I have found
The story ain't over I've got so much more to do
I'm Ok now I'm just looking forward too

I'm OK / I'm alright
Living the way I do
Seeing life from both sides
Is a unique point of view

I'm OK / I'm alright
Living the way I do
Seeing life from both sides
Is a unique point of view

I'm okay now I'm alright
I'm okay now and I'm alright

I'm OK

A powerfully healing song about fear, loss and grief - the beautiful, raw, acoustic guitar arpeggios brings forth gentle, pure and moving vocals.

"This song was inspired by a friend who is grieving the tragic loss of her child, Anderson," explains Melyssa Lee. "It embodies the pain and fear of losing someone close."

"I wanted to also help keep Anderson's memory alive so I dedicate this song to my friend Angela and to her son Anderson. It is a way for us to remember him and to honour a mother's grief. This song helps remind us to take in the moment... because who knows when it will be the last."

Vocals and Instrumentals Performed by Melyssa Lee.
Written by Melissa Setiawan, Amy Kuney and Cari Cole.
Produced, arranged, mixed and mastered by Johnny Gasparic.

Sunflower (Acoustic)

Sunflower (Acoustic Version)

Thematically following the end of life motif from her
previous release, this song reveals reflections when we are
not there for a loved one's last moments. The acoustic
guitar lays foundation under poignantly powerful, yet
heartfelt vocals, introduced with a punchy electric guitar
riff that also ends the song like a maverick riding off in
the sunset.

"This song was written to be told like an old western
desert noir story," explains Melyssa Lee. "While it is a
story, it is more importantly a universal reflection on
what our previous interactions were with a loved one, when
we didn't know at the time that they would be the last."

Nothing Like Now

A collaboration with Bill Harris (Music)


Down This Road

Driving in my car
Down this road
On a distant highway
To a place I used to go

Blue skies over the sea
Open water next to me
Mountains to the right 
That touch the sky
Down this road 
It feels so right

I was there long ago
Searching for my rainbow
Found myself thinking back
To a time I used to know

You were in my life back then
Now you've gone away
A memory is all I've got 
And it won't go away
I need to take a ride 
Down this road tonight

Blue skies over the sea
Open water next to me
Mountains to the right
That touch the sky
Down this road
On this lonely night

When the world beats me down
Kicks me to the ground
I might lose my mind
If I don't take another ride 

Blue skies over the sea
Open water next me
Mountains to the right
That touch the sky
Down this road
It feels so right

GoodLuck brings a follow up release to their hit song Be Yourself, with their latest offering; ‘Dear Future Me’.

The lyrics in Dear Future Me have been crafted to remind us just how disconnected we have become from one another. How frantic our lives are, and just how little time we give to being present with each other and perhaps most importantly, ourselves. It is the nostalgic link back to when we were young and carefree that makes this song so powerful - the visceral call to remember how to let go of all the worries we carry around with us every day.
“These lyrics are very personal to me, my priorities were very messed up for a while as I struggled to balance my career and my personal life. I know this is a modern day human problem that we all struggle with. So I wrote a letter to myself, as if I was 11 years old. I remembered a time before all the pressure and the deadlines… and I wanted to remind myself not to lose that  part of me.” says Jules Harding.

Dear Future Me

GoodLuck - Dear Future Me

Dear Followers,
Hi there....... how, are you? .. thank you so much for all the compliments. . as much as I would love to make music everyday, and in a ideal life, I can, that is not quite possible for a while... Please excuse me,
I have just lost my mother last month, (October, 2023 ), the last one of both parents. In the week before her passing I just recorded the most beautiful music ever, because
I wanted to produce a cd with my music for her. but she will not hear it now... I am very upset and sad about her passing, and tired because of all the work
related to that passing.... please forgive me, you will have to wait for a little longer, I am just not in the mood. Hopefully next year, dear followers.... kind regards, Coccinella

Try her music, maybe you'll like it.....c.
