In 2005, Lee was blown away by Hurricane Katrina and landed in Nashville, Tennessee. After wandering and wondering for a while, she sat down and started writing a hell-of-a-lot of songs and playing around on Nashville Writers Nights (including the famous Bluebird Cafe). Among other things, she was interviewed by MusiCares (NARAS-the Grammy people), hugged by Paul Stookey, and touched by Keith Urban (twice).

Something To Say	Play	Something To Say ©2003 Lee Quick When I was young and lost You were so wise and strong But when I gave my trust You were already gone Why don’t you take off that mask And take a day to explain I just don’t believe you’ll have something to say Anything to say Anytime soon When I looked up to you You looked away and turned your back A little girl's love refused A lifetime of questions passed Why don’t you take off that mask And take away all the pain I just don’t believe you’ll have something to say Anything to say Anytime soon Why do these ties keep on pulling us apart? And when will the time wear down that wall around your heart? Now you are old and lost And time is pressing on your back There must be a way to touch With more than a passing glance I’ll have to take off my mask And search my soul till it hurts I’ll look into the glass And I’ll take stock of my words I’ve got to believe I’ll have something to say Anything to say Sometime soon Lyrics	Something To Say Credits ©2003 Lee Quick Notes [2 min. sample] Info	Buy MP3

8.	Just Another Lost Soul	Play	Just Another Lost Soul At the source of the river stands the source of our pain He's a killer and no law will bind him So gather your weapons and sail on upstream 'Cause it may take us all just to find him And for those against killing him Here's what I say He is, after all, just another lost soul Not that he isn't a bad one And we must do our part to destroy his black heart Assuming that he ever had one But it's best for the rest of us At least, for what's left of us Like losing a finger to save your hand. ©2003 Lee Quick/James Quick At the source of the river we planted our flag And we slew that bad man, or we thought so But who would have known He had friends who threw stones And a lesson would need to be taught, so For those against killing them What can I say? They are, after all, just a thousand lost souls He led them astray, now they're bad ones And we must do our part to destroy their black hearts Tho we can pretend that they had none But it's best for the rest of us At least, for what's left of us Like losing an eye to save your face. Then their villagers cried "We have God on our side!" Tho we knew for certain that we did And with weapons in hand Swore they'd make their last stand Seems history will be repeated And although we must kill them all Still we will say They are, after all, the uncounted lost souls Not that they all will be bad ones And we must do our part with a cold, calloused heart Tho the legacy may be a sad one But it's best for the rest of us At least, for what's left of us Like losing your soul to save your pride.

Whatever pops into your head Gets ingrained in your brain Makes you feel safe at nite – Why do you think what you think? Don't think twice, don't pay no mind Follow your bliss, don't second guess Go with your gut, don't mind us It's your life, you know what's right [repeat] Do you think?

Whatever gets you thru the nite Gets you off when you want Frees you up and gets you high What do you think Why do you think What do you think of a man in pink? Whatever lines up in your sights Gets you ready to fight No matter who has to die – Why do you think what you think? [repeat Chorus] Lyrics	Do You Think?

Lee Quick's first album, "Do You Think?", is a rootsy ride through the wry side of folk and alt. country -- a lyrical, sharp-witted collection touching on a variety of styles eclectic enough to keep you "thinking quick." These songs were recorded by Mike West (mikewest.net) at a soon-to-be-ex-house in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans.

Released in February 2004, "Do You Think?" features ten Lee originals plus two songs co-written with James Quick, including the fan favorite "Folk U.", a tongue-in-cheek look at musical (and sexual) education.

One standout song, "If I Apologize," originally penned in 1940 by Lee's late grandmother, Ann Whitman Dudoit, receives emotional accolades from listeners -- it's been described as "something Patsy Cline should have sung." And "Bored To Hell," with its quirky, catchy hook, shows Lee's dark and unique sense of humor.

In addition to CD Baby, the physical CD is also available from The Louisiana Music Factory. (But you can't buy it at Wal-Mart.) You can also stream, download and/or buy these songs in digital form through iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, and almost anywhere else where quality music is found.

Did You Know?
All of Lee's songs are dedicated to the elimination of boredom and stupidity around the world.
