about

Chelsea was inspired by an adoration for Joni Mitchell. As a pure artist she has few rivals. Her true artistry has touched the lives of so many with her eclectic style, deep lyrics and haunting voice.

Thinking about her trials and tribulations I started to pen a song about her. I quickly departed from Joni as the subject and instead, created a fictional character loosely based around thoughts of Joni and her colourful and often tragic story.

Using Joni as my inspiration, Chelsea (named after Chelsea Morning - Joni Mitchell) is a female artist who after giving up her newborn starts on her journey, whilst carrying around the pain of forgoing motherhood for her artistry. Over the three verse the story depicts a mixed story of success and failure.

lyrics

Chelsea had a baby. She's much too young.
Ran away, life in disarray.
For she won't see her; said goodbye precious one.
She'll start all over. Hurt has just begun.

Chelsea wipe away your tears.
Chelsea sing sweet balladeer.

Her luck's a changin’. Hard work paying off.
Girl can play Folk and Jazz and Rock.
Her band is smokin'. Chelsea do no wrong.
All sit in wonder as she sings her songs.

Chelsea wipe away your tears.
Chelsea sing sweet balladeer.

Sometimes in the morning.
Mostly in the dead of night.
She hears a voice calling.

Her star's a shining. Caught an early flight.
Paid her dues; a full house tonight.
Times are a changing. Sure as day follows night.
Her ride is over. She rejoins the line.

Chelsea wipe away your tears.
Chelsea sing sweet balladeer.

Some say she's weary and much too old.
Say "Get away and take a holiday".
But they can’t hear her. Ear's are painted on.
I watch in wonder as she sings her songs.

Chelsea wipe away your tears.
Chelsea sing sweet balladeer.

Chelsea wipe away your tears.
Chelsea sing sweet balladeer.

Sometimes in the morning.
Mostly in the dead of night.
She hears a voice calling.
