Ellis Delaney - Half-Winged Angel

 
0
Copied!
Lookin' for space I hold on to nothin' like it's gonna save me from losing my mind
And the promises I make are half-empty wishes like a full pot of water that's been boilin' a while
And I'm feelin' lost like a half-winged angel
That could be in heaven but can't fly so high
And I know this is common we all live the danger of realizin' we slept away most of our lives

Four-story window looks down onto Main Street where the people are rushin' to stop at the light
They are wrapped up in stories their eyes nevеr meet
Caught up in the day and how it is designed
And I opеn my heart to be more forgiving but I have some regrets that hurt from time to time
It hasn't been easy slowin' down momentum
I am in the habit of bein' unkind

I am awake after two cups of coffee
I put on the day like it's armor of steel
In the morning I am a warrior fightin' battles but the armor gets heavy and so does the shield
And I'm feelin' lost like a half-winged angel
That could be in heaven but can't fly so high
And I know this is common we all live the danger of realizin' we slept away most of our lives
And I'm feelin' lost like a half-winged angel
This heavy armor keeps me out of the sky
And I try to see it to let go of familiar and it's hard to trust that I will be alright
And will I be alright?
Will I be alright?
Oh-oh

Biography

After moving from Texas to Minneapolis at age 16, Ellis got her start singing her own songs at open mics where she quickly dropped her often-mispronounced former last name (Bergeron; her new married name is Delaney). She joined a rock band in high school while also setting up her own record label to put out her first solo CD Soft Day in 1996. In college at St Olaf, she fronted the band Bobby Llama and in 1999 the band was voted Sam Goody/Musicland’s Best Unsigned Band in America. Ellis went solo and began touring full-time in 2000. Since then she has independently sold more than 40,000 copies of her eight CDs.

Ellis got her start performing the women’s festival circuit in 2000, with regular performances at the Michigan Women’s Music Festival. She also has headlined the National Women’s Music Festival in 2006 & 2008 and the Virgina Women’s Music Festival in 2009.

She has also established herself as a rising artist in the folk music community. She was voted “Most Wanted to Return” by the audience at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in 2006, and at Sisters Folk Festival in 2009, and Moab (Utah) in 2012-2014 and has since been invited to perform at several other folk festivals including the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Festival for the Eno, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Wildflower Festival, the Fischer Festival and the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival (2007-2016).

She has also received several songwriting awards and honors, including Top Five awards at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriting Contest, the Telluride Troubadour Contest, and the Kerrville Music To Life Songwriting Contest. She also won the award for best Female Singer/Songwriter Album in the International Just Plain Folks 2009 Music Awards. Most recently, she won the Mountain Stage NewSong Midwest Regional Round and the Kerrville Grassy Hill New Folk Contest.

In 2009, Ellis released a retrospective DVD entitled “Scrapbook” that includes a look back at the first 12 years of her career, as well as a live concert and an MP3 CD with the songs from her first five albums, including the first Bobby Llama CD.

In 2010, Ellis completed her critically acclaimed seventh full-length recording, Right On Time.

In 2013 she released a 3-disc live CD set Wherever You Are.

In 2016, she released her most ambitious studio recording to date, The Guest House.
