Reality is something we tend to try and escape when our lives are too hard to bare. We often dream of a better life and a greater outcome of our future. When we are single and alone and like any normal human beings, we often fantasize of our ideal partner. Someone to satisfy and gratify are lonely hearts with eyes you can stare at for the rest of your life.
Winnipeg recording artist Tracy Bone has done just that. It is from her debut album "No Lies", which is an album that deals with the pains of wanting, finding and losing love. You can hear her musical inspirations with a hint of country, pop, R&B and rock. Her musical inspirations Patsy Cline to Melissa Ethridge flare like an open pit fire of flaming talent. 'Reality' is about dreaming of what we all search for, 'the perfect partner for life'. 'You held me close, oh; you calmed my soul, never thought someone could make me whole', are words taken from the song. It is beautifully written and sung with such love and desire, the strumming of the guitar and beats of the bongos are exceptionally tasteful.

Or would you let the constellations of the heavens define it for you? There comes a point in our life when we realize that life is what we make it.
