Original music written and performed by Louise Kelly. People say I sound like Norah Jones. Stevie Wonder is my biggest influence.

A reminder about who we are.

Here's the lyrics:

V1
Taken from the river
Taken from the water
We are

From the fishing pole 
into the fish bowl
Happy as a clam, baked

Taken from the depths
Forget and live skin deep  
But do we forget? 

Chorus
We belong to the earth
We belong to the sea
From dust to dust we belong (2X)

V2
Taken from the mountains
Take a little peek then turn your back

Taken from the cool air
Take a little in then spin around and turn your back

Taken from the heights
Forget that I’m so small
Ashes to ashes we all

Chorus

Bridge
Lost souls, you animals, lost souls
Make a landfill of the promised land
And turn your back
Lost souls, lost souls, lost souls
Lost souls, animals. 

Chorus
Chorus

We Belong To The Earth (Choral version)

This song is about a place that used to be vibrant and full of life and now it's not. This is the loneliest town! Enjoy!

Loneliest Town - Louise Kelly -

A Song for Earth Day 2020

Taken from the river
Taken from the water
We are

From the fishing pole 
into the fish bowl
Happy as a clam, baked

Taken from the depths
Forget and live skin deep  
Don’t you forget, forget

Chorus
We belong to the earth
We belong to the sea
From dust to dust we belong (2X)

V2
Taken from the mountains
Take a little peek then turn your back

Taken from the cool air
Take a little in then spin around and turn your back
No, no

Taken from the heights
Forget that I’m so small
Ashes to ashes we all

Chorus

Bridge
Lost souls, we’re animals, lost souls
Make a landfill of the promised land
And turn our back
Lost souls, lost souls, lost souls
Lost souls, animals. 

We belong to the earth
We belong to the sea
From dust to dust we belong

We Belong To The Earth

Lyrics
Wandering through this world alone 
Not one thing moves my soul for long
So I move on

If there was one place I could lay my luggage down
And call home 
Then it’s you and you alone

You and you alone
You and you alone
Don’t you know it’s only been me for a while 
Now it’s you and you alone

Home to work, work to home, home to bed
On the weekend party instead
Oooh
I know the earth spins circles round the sun
Maybe I need someone 
To burn at the center of it all

You and you alone
You and you alone
Don’t you know it’s only been me for a while 
Now it’s you and you alone

I know that it’s strange
But I know that it’s real
All my dreams come crumbling down before you 
And I don’t care

Here we go two gardens grow
A shadow falls on the one I’ve always known
The one I’ve always sown
Take the earth, take the rain and take the sun
Take my roots may you be someone
I give to you

You and you alone
You and you alone
Don’t you know it’s only been me for a while 
Now it’s you and you alone

You And You Alone

I wrote this song inspired by the Christmas Pageant Nativity Play at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Downers Grove, IL. 
Produced by a Christmas Star, Stephen Pilat 

Twinkle Twinkle Star Suit
Shine your delight
The stage your sky
this holy night

There’s the holy family
With all the angels
Animal with inner child
So meek, so mild

Pre-chorus 
All God’s children born to play


Chorus
Play your part Mary
Play your part Joseph
Play your part
Shepherds quake

Angels take their places
Around the babe
Surround the babe
With all who were born to play

Verse 2
Tie the robes, drape the shawls
Don the wings fill it all 
with humble things 
Ding ding ding ding

The angel choir calls
Get ready for a child
Unto us is born
Unto us perform our children
Some unwilling
All were born to play

Chorus

Verse 3
Wise men don’t know where to go
Scratchy beards, uncomfortable
Behold the child
Behold the eyes watching you
From darkened pews
Also looking back on when they played their parts
All God’s children born to play

Chorus

Play Your Part

Timeless. Soulful. Emotional. Colorful. Mother Nature infuses the music of Louise Kelly with the songs of birds and Midwestern prairie breezes. Rooted and rising in Illinois, watered by the sounds from a cloud of Stevie Wonder, Emily King, James Blake, Chopin, Brandi Carlisle, Led Zeppelin. Pink Floyd. Not hiding it under a bushel (No!)Music is light. Listen for sunshine in these songs. And shine on, you crazy diamond.
