Unexpected Ways by Leila Vey

(c) 2014, Music and Lyrics by Leila Vey Christensen

I found myself in a situation in which I was dating a guy who felt he wasn’t ready for a relationship, yet he didn’t want to break it off with me either. It was a time of bewilderment and excitement, of happiness and angst. At some point, I gave up on keeping my options open and chose hope.

Handwriting's On The Wall by Leila Vey

(c) 2008, Music & Lyrics by Leila Vey Christensen

This song is one of the more heartbroken songs I have written. I was deeply in love with my partner who had a drinking problem. When I wrote this song, I truly began to realize that this relationship would likely never be the nurturing, safe harbour I dreamed of. It was a mid-point in a long and painful journey of loving someone truly, madly and deeply, yet not being able to make the relationship right no matter how hard I tried. It was a terrible heartbreak...

A Life Lesson by Leila Vey

It is a tough lesson that nothing lasts. Change is inevitable and our best chance of happiness is to embrace change and flow with it, letting our disappointments go and looking forward to new plans and adventures.

This song was written at a time when I knew my marriage was over but I had not yet moved on. I was reflecting on what had been good and what was left, and looking for pearls in the ashes.
