Aselin Debison

Sweet indeed!
She has a lovely voice, jjorge. The song is one of Iris Dement's. Here are the lyrics:

SWEET IS THE MELODY (Iris DeMent)
(c) 1993 Songs of Iris ASCAP

Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
It's so hard to make every note bend just right
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace
but a tune for the dancing is there in it's place

The dance floor's for gliding and not jumping over ponies
where boots and gold bracelets come and meet as they should
It's for celebrating a Friday night romance
forgetting the bad stuff and just feeling good

Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
It's so hard to make every note bend just right
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace
but a tune for the dancing is there in it's place

An arm's just an arm 'til it's wrapped 'round a shoulder
looped side by side they go stepping out together
A note's just a note 'til you wake from your slumber
and dare to discover the new melody

Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
It's so hard to make every note bend just right
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace
but a tune for the dancing is there in it's place

Beutifull Thanks....

Swimpy

Thanks for the lyrics. For some reason I can't get much volume on the link that you attached but I will keep my eye out for Iris Dement(or my ear cocked as it were)

Hi Pharon!

Nice voice and delivery. I would listen if she were on the radio.

Thanks for the tip jjorge .. nothing I
like better than a great voice
Music soothes
Good music does it better

Hi Tinahoney

Welcome, tinahoney17! :-D

Aselin Debison
Hello there, i just wanted to tell you that i couldn't agree more with you about Aselin. She is a wonderful singer and just as wonderful of a child. I used to babysit Aselin and she is a delightful little girl. I live away from her now, but am actually in Glace Bay right now and my mother and my little girl are over Aselin's house as I write this I just wanted to say that I agree with you and she will become a HUGE star and it is an honor to know her and it is great that you are such a supportive fan.

Welcome to A2K, sherbear! It's great to hear from someone who knows her personally.

Hi sherbear,

So you know Aselin and her family? That's terrific!

The PBS special I watched was filmed in Glace Bay and the town was shown very favorably.

The special also had some biographical stuff about Aselin and her family. She seemed like a wholesome and happy kid, with age-appropriate interests (like basketball) and with sensible parents. It looks like they are doing a very good job of keeping her grounded and proud of her roots, and wouldn't let her become some sort of spoiled 'Diva'.

After I saw the special I thought she would be a great guest on Garrison Keiler's radio program. Are you familiar with it? ('Prairie Home Companion')
Come to think of it, I might just send him an email suggesting he have her on the show!

Incidentally, my favorite song on the CD is 'The Island'. It must bring a tear to the eye of Cape Bretoners!
I also like 'Love So Rare' which makes me think of my two daughters and of the kind of father I have tried to be for them.

PS oops! almost forgot . . . welcome to Able2know!

I sent the following email to Garrison Kiellor a short while ago:





Re: Aselin Debison

Dear Garrison et al,


Last Fall I saw a PBS special starring this 12 year old (probably thirteen by now) Canadian girl
from Cape Breton Island. She is a very wholesome likable girl with a lovely voice and delivery who is going to be a BIG star and has already taken Canada by storm. (She is far above average!)

Aselin's first CD is named for the Iris Dement song, 'Sweet is The Melody' which is also the first song on the CD. Coincidentally, a short time after I saw the Aselin special, you had Iris Dement on your program. Somehow I got it in my head that Aselin would be a WONDERFUL guest on your program.
Well that idea has been rattling around in my brain for several months now, so I thought might as well just write you and suggest it.

Even if you don't have her on your show, you ought to give a listen to her CD and check out her website.
