about

Oh, 'Shelley Kay Moore'. This has such a funny story behind it...
So, one afternoon I was at my best friend's place, we were just hanging around. We were bored, and we didn't know what to do. So she came up with the idea of doing something we really weren't used to do: making a fake profile on facebook. Just for fun, to joke and make fun of people in our school or people on facebook that they think they're 'so cool'. So we did. We started making a new profile, we chose the profile pic, the interests, the music tastes, (we really wanted to give this profile a serious identity!!) and so on... at last, I came up with the name: Shelley Kay Moore. As soon as we finished, I looked at my best friend and said "I love this girl. I love her identity and the story she might have behind her. I'm gonna make a song about her." She thought I was kidding.
Truth is, we never really used that fake profile, and after a couple of days we deleted it... One week later I sent an e-mail to my best friend. It said "Hey, do you remember Shelley Kay Moore? That girl we met on facebook the other day?
I wrote a song about her."

lyrics

shelley waits In the back row
holding on to the hope
to hAve a chance to make it right
she’s hiding in the crowd
praying that someday, soMehow
she’ll show the world how she can Shine
born on a friday night
eyes took color from tHe sky
she’s got her name after a song
shE’s used to be all alone
always Living in her own world
can’t keep her here, she just wants to go

she has been waiting so Long to be where she is going
she can have it all if she just believEs it


shelleY, look bacK where you were just yesterday
be proud of all that you are today
Anything’s possible if you keep faith
shelley, one day you’ll fly away
one day you’ll fly away


shelley’s holding her guitar
alwaYs feeling not enough
she can’t see her beautiful soul
made of fearless rain and lights
got lonely shadows in her eyes
always looking for a place to call hoMe

she has been waiting so long to be where she is going
she can have it all if she just believes it


shelley, look back where you were just yesterday
be prOud of all that you are today
anything’s possible if you keep faith
shelley, one day you’ll fly away
one day you’ll fly away


you’ll find your own way out there
don’t listen, they don’t understand
believe in what’s inside your heart
and just stay true to whO you are


shelley, look back where you were just yesterday
be pRoud of all that you are today
anything’s possible if you keep faith
shelley, one day you’ll fly away
one day you’ll fly away
One day you’ll fly away


shelley’s in front of the front row
finally rEady to go
now stay back and just watch her fly ...
