CYMEL began with the desire to give those feelings somewhere to go. A thought becomes a line.  A line suggests a melody. Gradually, something that existed only in my imagination becomes something someone else can hear.  Some songs grow from personal reflections. Others begin with an imagined moment or a question I cannot quite leave alone.  They do not all tell my story, but each carries something I want to express.  Once you hear it, the meaning can change.  A lyric might bring back someone you miss.  A melody might give shape to something you have never found words for.
