Inside Story: Cason had her reasons for composing the song "Queen of Hearts" for Princess Diana....    The most noticeable painting of music on the Forver In Bloom CD is the song Queen of Hearts, which Shirley dedicates to the life of Princess Diana. It begins with the church bells that rang in the Town Square as Princess Diana's funeral procession approached the church. Cason states, " I started out the song with the bells of the church because they moved me to tears when I watched it on TV. While I watched, I remembered that Princess Diana was a ballerina. It was then I decided that the Queen of Hearts would start out with the church bells then move into a classical piano section to notes Princess Diana's love for classical music. French accordions were blended in after the piano section to add a "Euro sound" to the song. The song finishes with just the piano and strings. It is at this point that I see Princess Diana dancing again to the classical music she so dearly loved." ~ Music & Lyrics from the "Forever In Bloom" CD ~ CD Pictures from album New Age Instrumental CD 1.  JOURNEY   Every journey in life starts with your dreams 2. JOURNEY ONWARD Once you start on your journey your spirit will lead the way 3. WAVE This song was inspired by Cancun Mexico Spray paint Artist, Eduardo Claro Perez's painting of "Sea Dance" 4.  SEABREEZE   All waves in our lives are created by seabreeze.

Leave your hometown behind? You know you'll miss us all Kay It's just a matter of time You said that you were leaving. Your pass here is dead and gone Well if that's the way you want it Who am I to hold on? (Chorus) It's ok, Kay. You do what you got to do We shared dreams you know, a friendship that grew. It's ok,..oh Kay...   If you say it feels all right I'll remember yesterday's stories and move on with my life. It's ok Kay... Oh Kay K... It's ok Kay.... Oh Kay K.... But to me Kay that ain't no reason Not to write or to give me a call I can't understand your change of plans I thought that this was your home... I was wrong! (Repeat Chorus) Pick up the phone and call my name out loud! If you ever need a hand to hold to You know I'm here to help out I'm telling your Kay that's it's ok You can always come home if you want to... Well I need to end this letter. I hope your address is right If you ever hear this song Please call me at the lake tonight See ya, Kay K... Oh...Kay K! Miss ya, Kay K...Oh...Kay K... Hope you're ok Kay...Oh....Kay K! Love ya, Kay K ! 8. CHILDREN'S PLAY Lucelle Raad's painting of "Children" inspired this song 9. ETERNITY  This song is written for my nephew who asked me to write about the lake we both vacation on The moonlight on the water sparkles every where, there's silence in the air... The mountains cast its shadows on the eastern shores a peaceful night for all souls that wonder about starlight Were stars always there in the midnight air? And the glory of their beauty makes you realize it's good to be alive to see ... The sunshine on the water sparkling everywhere, sweetness in the air... The trees on the mountain reaches to the sky the clouds flow slowly by... And the flowers on the shorelines are filled with butterflies, birds and dragonflies As you sit here by the water your soul begins to fly Your heart feels so high! And all at once you know the meaning of love Love is everything, the mountains, birds and trees! They'll always be here for everyone to share The moon, the stars, the eastern shores will be here forever more! The moonlight on the water sparkles bright tonight, Everything's so right... The mountains are a sleep now & peace is everywhere ... Eternity is here once more... Hmmm.... 10. FOREVER IN BLOOM  Love lives forever I love you You love me Why is it that our lips don't meet? I need you You need me Why is it that we disagree? In the night when I go to sleep I wonder where you are I wonder if you're safe and warm Far and free from harm And if God really answered prayers He'd make this one come true He'd make your love come back to me Forever in full bloom. I need you You need me Maybe one day we'll agree I love you You love me Maybe one day our lips will meet... ~ CD Reviews for "Forever In Bloom" CD ~    Kathy Parsons, Solo Piano Publications "Forever in Bloom" is a collection of original pieces played in a variety of instrumentations on electronic keyboards. Melodic and accessible, most of the songs have a pop influence. Shirley Cason cites Jim Brickman as one of her favorite composers, and there is a somewhat similar approach in both composers' work - an eagerness to please and to soothe the listener. My favorite track is a passionate and darkly gorgeous piece called "Queen of Hearts", dedicated to the life of Princess Diana. A sense of tragedy prevails until an instrument comes in that sounds kind of like an Italian accordion. I find the contrast kind of jarring, but am sure Cason had her reasons for including it in such a heartfelt piece. "Eternity" is also very beautiful, with a sadness and deep sense of melancholy. Sincerity runs through all of Cason's compositions, and most of the ten songs in the collection are on the lighter side. She also writes lyrics for many of her songs and includes them in the liner notes, should anyone choose to sing them - an interesting concept! If you are in the mood for some quiet instrumental music, I think you'll like this album! Dreams of a New Age   :    "Shirley Cason's music is definitely worth hearing, which is why "Forever In Bloom" made my Top 20 for April of 2000.""  -   Tani Chen: Radio Host WMBR 88.1 FM "Women In Music"    "Shirley Cason's  Forever in Bloom is healing music."   Laney Goodman : Radio Host on 79 National Public Radio stations: Listen.com review:   "Shirley Cason uses her synths to create cinematic, melodic new age.

When I listen to the music, I feel peacful and relaxed.  I think this music is perfect to hear at home on weekends." Vladivostik, Russia   Dimitry Shakin - Music Director of Radio Vladivostok. I have the honor to write to you from Russia. I produce several special radio shows such as New Era, New Age Music, contemporary instrumental, smooth jazz. My show air to six thousand listeners and always set off a firestorm of attention and phone calls. I will be very grateful if you cound send me info about Shirley Cason and if possible, an airplay copy of her recordings which I could use in my shows and reviews.   REM   (review used with permission);    "The music on FOREVER IN BLOOM is accompanied by lyrics which lay in wait for you to ponder... Although it is composed with a delightful sprinkling of "Ear Candy" the sincerity of the songs is apparent from the first track. Shirley has avoided many of the pitfalls that many other 1st timers make while creating their debut album. "Inspired by a whole life's lessons learned" is prominently displayed on the jewel case, and the music and lyrics fully support this. If new age music is ready for its own "new age", then Shirley Cason's "Forever in Bloom" is ready to lead the way. "Queen of hearts" is alive with feeling; this type of keyboard caress does not come from a newby, it comes from the heart." - Enjoy! Amazon.com customer   "What a Journey!"    Michael Watkins from United States   "How wonderful it is to be able to put in a CD and instantly feel at peace.

Whenever I need to transition my mind set out of work mode, this CD provides me with the ability to do so. I would recommend this CD to anyone who needs to be taken to a different level."
