Lisa Gallant Seal's APRIL 2013 – Song of the Month – Fish Out of Water I have always felt like a Fish Out of Water. Having come from a messed up “beginning” from about six years old and up, it was not until I was “born again” (new birth) that I felt as though I belonged. And then as a new believer in Jesus Christ, the enemy (satan) was constantly at my tail, hanging around every corner of my insecurities stretching and straining to tell me that I didn’t belong …

 I think this new VIDEO SONG, I'm Different Now (Because of You) , is a great way to say goodbye to 2012 and hello to the new year. It is cool to be able to see in hindsight, how God is constantly changing me. Because of Jesus I am a different person, "I'm different now than I was back then" and continue to change daily. I think we all will experience this as Christians. Because of You is a worship song I wrote a few years ago and recorded at Studio 19 with producer, Dan Merrill. …

Sorry, I am not FEELIN' it! The Christmas spirit I mean. It seems that each year I get less "jolly" about all the goings on around our holiday season called Christmas. I found myself struggling to pick out cards for my friends (sorry friends). My hubby and I have not gifted each other in eons and HE is not ADAMANT on getting a TREE this year, which is totally out of character for him. I tried to muster up some of that  "lovin (the Christmas) feeling" so I could be the hero and …

  T he Window is song six off of my Solo @ Studio 19. One common question I get about this song is what does the line “ I had my clothes down to my knees” mean ? When I wrote The Window in 1992 I thought it was about a woman, a recluse, fantasizing about a man who she was watching through a window in the building adjacent to hers. The line “I had my clothes down to my knees” is describing emotional nakedness, being completely vulnerable. But this woman was afraid of …

Biddeford Public Access Television ROCKED We all had a blast as we rocked the night away on October 27th at the Biddeford Public Access Television studio for the program "Christian Music Today". This was the first time the show had a live performance. The LGS BAND's sound engineer, Neal Conant, from NRC Audio and studio producer, Steve Pulos, knocked everybody’s socks off with sound quality. Our humble yet supportive studio audience was an awesome addition to the night too. I want to …

Reaching Out - Music Heals Hello, Lisa Gallant Seal here, I have always found it fascinating how music could move ones soul. Looking back in hindsight I can clearly see how the different musicians and songwriters I was exposed to had touched me in deep places and therefore significantly influenced my life. My childhood was not the safest, most of my pain was emotional, and I was alone a lot. Music soothed me. Being able to write what I was feeling to rhyme and rhythm helped me cope through the trials, …

Ok, enough with the re-occurring voice in my head that speaks the old cliché to musicans "don't quit your day job". For me, today, I can honestly say that voice is a generational curse that has been laid on my earthly family for centuries. There are many talented musicians in my family tree. My dad for one, plays a great clarenet and sax. My brother Dana is an amazing keyboardist and my sister Faye is an acomplished piano and guitar player, …

OK, yes, 2006 is the last time I put out a CD. What is that all about? I have so many songs (sitting like ladies in waiting) for the L Band and me to work on and record and am looking forward to recording with them soon. This new disc coming out this August - CHANGING DIRECTION EP was produced by Karl Anderson and Darren Elder from the band, The Wrecking. As we were in the middle of creating the new EP last fall, The L band was but a twinkle in God's eye. Darren and Karl walked me through this exciting …
