DeeDee, who used to write songs as a child, rediscovered her love of songwriting in the late 90's.
She entered her song 'The Homesick Blues' into the 2007 UK songwriting competition, where it reached the semi-finals, and subsequently had a demo of the song produced by Nigel Cuff Music.
More recently, a demo of her song 'Long Time Coming' was produced by veteran record producer and audio engineer, Stuart Epps, via a Music Xray submission opportunity.
DeeDee was then offered, and signed, a publishing contract with music licencing company 'Music of the Sea Inc.'
She is currently working with guitarist Jordan Humber on demos for her songs, which cover themes relating to universal emotions such as love, heartbreak, grief, fear, longing, anger and depression. As well as sharing an overriding sense of hope, DeeDee's songs highlight the struggle to gain self-empowerment and overcome life's many obstacles.
Lyrics
The tears are welling up inside in contemplation of a distant time The memories of moments obsolete You know it makes me weep to feel the things that I do
CHORUS I've got the homesick blues I've got the homesick blues
I feel this longing don't you know I had a living dream not long ago This sense I have is like a photograph You know it takes me back to see the things I once knew
CHORUS
There ain't no sense in feelin bad Look to the future and forget your past That's what they say That which is here today will soon be gone away and don't you know that it's true
