"In an age where people are now literally falling over each other in the queue to be singers of the next synth band following the daily fads in the UK, this songwriter is different and has an alternative dream. This lady's dream is to be known for her songwriting abilities across all mediums from films to adverts and her name is Casee Wilson. A North London girl who now lives in the gorgeous & vast Yorkshire landscape, she creates beautiful songs that span nearly every genre out there. Grafting as a pianist & vocalist, she's managed to give heavy yet gentle nods towards her favourite artists - Ella Fitzgerald, Tori Amos, The Stones and Kate Bush amongst many more - in her production and song crafting. This lady has talent in buckets and you'll be hearing more of her throughout the years as she creeps into your TVs and Radio sets. "

Lyrics of the Week
Midnight Blues
It's the middle of the night and the moon is gliding over
All the birds have taken flight to rest their heads until the dawn
My piano calls to me so I go and get some coffee
Write a line or two or three, before the inspiration's gone
I've got the midnight blues
Cuddled up to my insomnia and waiting for my muse
I've got the midnight blues
Mainlining lots of caffeine and hoping for my muse
Now the drunks have gone to bed and the streets outside are silent
The only sound is in my head and the beating of my heart
The ink is running from my pen as I'm scribbling and sketching
As I try to write again and put some life into my art
I've got the midnight blues
Cuddled up to my insomnia and waiting for my muse
I've got the midnight blues
Mainlining lots of caffeine and hoping for my muse
And so this is how it goes
I pass the time til morning
The ideas slowly dawning
I'm hoping that it shows
All the work and all the thinking
Just to keep myself from sinking
I've got the midnight blues
Cuddled up to my insomnia and waiting for my muse
I've got the midnight blues
Mainlining lots of caffeine and hoping for my muse
