My Work

A Place (A short story of Reincarnation)

Creator: Leisa Coffman
The songs I write are short stories. I tend to write songs that follow a story line and have a purpose like a film does. So, they are short stories in song. The song in this short has not been professionally recorded yet. My two loves are singing/ songwriting and film and when I'm doing both I'm the happiest. I began believing in reincarnation from a personal experience in 2003. This song is about life, love and remembrance of past lives. A regular thing I've been doing is making a brief appearance somewhere in my short.

Some things are constant in an ever changing world. This video was whipped up in a couple of hours in my inspiration of the song I wrote. The artist (me) out of focus was by accident but I decided to use it to convey the "hazy" feelings. The moon is clear and there even when you don't see it...then suddenly it appears. I am the writer, singer, director and editor of this project.
