The mark of a talented artist is the ability to open doors and windows into a world that has the listener wanting to visit over and over. Denise Moser is such a one as she reveals her frailties and fantasies, fears and triumphs. Her CD is called <strong>Here Right Now<\/strong> which is a paradoxical title since many of the songs touch on memory such as the sweetly sentimental \u00a0<strong><em>I Remember<\/em><\/strong> with its tear-inducing lines &#8220;I can feel your kiss on my shoulder. I can see your eyes say &#8220;My love is the truth.&#8221; The opening song, <em><strong>I Believe<\/strong> <\/em>is her wo-manifesto as she declares: &#8220;I believe in winter boots&#8230;&#8230;I believe in deep earth smell and the sound of falling rain. In tripping over my heavy heart. And in gettting up again&#8230;..I believe in brown hair turning gray.&#8221;\u00a0 The title song is an ode to change and \u00a0means of\u00a0 Moser claiming all of who she is, her woundings and thrivings as a seasoned woman and the meandering path it took to get her from where she was to where she now stands.\u00a0 <strong><em>Oldest Dream<\/em> <\/strong>bares her soul to a new love, it seems as she offers transparently &#8220;I&#8217;m not a perfect girl. I never tried to be.\u00a0 But I&#8217;m mostly beautiful. If you know how to see&#8230;..I&#8217;ll make friends with your ghosts .I&#8217;ll make my heart your holy host.&#8221;)\u00a0\u00a0 .&#8221;\u00a0<em><strong> Boy Store<\/strong> <\/em>is a playful jaunt as she places a special order for the man of her dreams. Moser spills herself wide open as she\u00a0scribes her<strong><em> Unfinished Song<\/em> <\/strong>on the blank paper that she calls &#8216;an old friend&#8217; on which she\u00a0writes about a deep\u00a0unfulfilled dream of being a mother. \u00a0 The tune is reminiscent of\u00a0 the hymn\u00a0 written by Robert Lowry <strong><em>How Can I Keep From Singing. <\/em><\/strong>Overlapping voices embellish <strong><em>Lucid Dreaming<\/em> <\/strong>as she speaks of being someplace that is &#8216;part school&#8217; and yet at first listen, it sounds like she is saying &#8216;heart school&#8217;..maybe it is both. <strong><em>May This House<\/em> <\/strong>is a prayer of welcome to herself and those who cross the threshold. Moser is in her element in prayer-realm since she is also a cantorial singer\u00a0 at Beth Chaim Reform Congregation in Malvern, Pennsylvania. The closing song<strong><em> Open Space<\/em> <\/strong>is her God-communion as she sings praises familiarly &#8221; You sure are creative. I like what you&#8217;ve done with the place.&#8221; and &#8220;I believe that what you are is what you&#8217;ve always been. I see you best when I look within.&#8221; Mark Moss joins her as multi-instrumentalist and back up vocalist.<\/p>\n<p>Moser&#8217;s voice is like a familiar friend welcoming you home to yourself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.denisemosermusic.com\">www.denisemosermusic.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch%3Fv%3D-JTh0AFnrrI\">www.youtube.com\/watch%3Fv%3D-JTh0AFnrrI<\/a>\u00a0 Here Right Now by Denise Moser<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; One of my favorite genres of music is known as singer-songwriter in which the one who pens the words and vocalizes is also a consummate story teller.
