Laurie is a singer/songwriter who artfully crafts lyrics and music conveying what the rest of us feel, but struggle to express. Laurie's songs go beyond the merging of notes and words; they touch the center of our emotions. Laurie's "Meant to Be" represents a personal journey through life's most meaningful experiences. These songs invite you to join this journey, with heartbreaks, loss, and reconciliation. "Good Way to Start a Bad Habit" is about an encounter between two past lovers, years after the break-up, and the stirring emotions that emerge. "If You Were Still Here With Me" gives the listener a glimpse of the grief experienced after the loss of a child. "So Little Time" is a reflection of the realization that time with loved ones is so brief, while "Just a Memory" reminds us to cherish each moment, each memory of those who have touched our lives. On the lighter side, "She's Gone" is an amusing, sarcastic jab at long-awaited retribution and the backlash of betrayal. Experience this album; you won't be disappointed!
