“Melody Hill,” the grunge-pop, atmospheric concept album is the soundtrack for Jessica Bell's debut novel “String Bridge” (2011), and channels the musical stylings of PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Nick Cave , Joni Mitchell, Nightmares on Wax, Enigma, among others.

The songs are written from the perspective of Melody, the main character from “String Bridge,” as she plans a return to the stage, reviving a musical career she previously abandoned for motherhood. Bell as songwriter mirrored Melody's musical influences in crafting the album.

In collaboration with George Priniotakis from Artracks Recording Studios in Athens, the styles of rock, pop, folk, and ambience were combined to create an atmospheric grunge CD that is also a visceral and addictive lyrical story.

LYRICS:
One day they love me
One day they hate me
One day they’re gonna get it bad when they berate me
They’ll never know
what I have up my sleeve.
They’ll come a runnin’ and a beggin’, please, please.

I’m gonna kill all the trolls on the Internet.
I’m gonna kill all the trolls on the Internet.
I’m gonna kill all the trolls on the Internet.
Oh. You wanna watch?

I don’t like poems
posted on my wall
that ask for me to marry and have your child by next fall.
You never know
what I have up my sleeve
such as the skills I use to silence a sleaze.

Chorus:
I’m gonna kill all the trolls on the Internet.
I’m gonna kill all the trolls on the Internet.
I’m gonna kill all the trolls on the Internet.
Oh. You wanna watch?

I don’t like men
who try to explain
stuff I already know, ’cause, yeah, I have a brain
They never trust
what I have up my sleeve
Yeah, I’m a woman, fuck, I’m not naive.

Chorus

Don’t fuck with me.
Don’t fuck with me.
Yeah.

Kill All The Trolls

Lyrics:
By the window of my home
lies a piano with no keys
there is dust that swirls around
when the sun tries to please

In the midst of all my fear
is a story way too long
semi-quavers cry their worth
to be a part of my sad song

There are angels dressed in red
tempting me with crystal sins
I won’t climb glowing stairs
even in my bad bad dreams

There are bluebirds in my hair
and insects eating my skin
there’s a river by my home
no-one will see me there

Let me go, let me go, let me go.
Let me go, let me go, let me go.

Let me go, let me go, let me go.

(Underneath the ground, where the little men found, lots of dark spaces with their heads looking down toward the earth’s core, where my heart craves more, than just a bit of love before I smash my skull against your black iron wall.)

Let me go, let me go, let me go.

(I don’t wanna drown, the muddy river’s gone brown, lots of darkened screams from the edges of town where the witches call, for the land to fall, listen to us pleading for our lives to be saved by the people.)

Once upon a time
I was just a little girl
who liked pretty clothes and candy stores
but now
her head
is full
of darkened screams

Darkened Screams

MsBessieBell is just my twitter and Sc username. My name is actually Jessica Bell.

I play a mix of rock, pop, folk, and ambient sounds, combined with  my own style of vocal which is heavily dependent on lyrics, to create an atmospheric grunge style for lack of a better description. Sometimes my tracks are a little better produced when I can afford it.

I'm currently experimenting with electronic instrumental pieces which I record in my home studio.
 
As of October 2016, I am the singer of Keep Shelly in Athens. (https://soundcloud.com/keepshellyinathens)

My albums can be purchased from http://jessicabell.bandcamp.com/, and at typical online retailers.
