These are songs I've gathered over the years. I've taken them with me wherever I go. For a musician who lives most of her life on the road, the songs you know and love are one of your only consistencies. They carry a feeling of home. These songs have been there for me in a dark hour. They've guided me down long roads that stretched through time. They have illuminated me on the human spirit, its unbreakable will, its strength and power. The songwriters who've penned them have inspired me endlessly. I have studied them through records because I hope to never cease my education on how to write a good tune. I threw on two songs I've written that were building blocks for me. These are my attempts at the folk tradition of writing a song where someone else left off. I try to learn from the greats. These are soul songs, let's sing them together. - Alynda lee Segarra
