Downing’s Gift to You

Pianist Lisa Downing The first track of this comforting CD, “The Gift,” starts off the listener with gentle, calming sounds that encompass the entire body, mind, and soul of the listener with simple and soothing piano compositions.

“The Gift” is about a moment in her life filled with tension and strain. Downing drove up to the foothills near her home to get a breath of air from the demands of her life with her newborn son Andy. As she sat and attempted to relax she explains how this song, “The Gift,” seemed to play in her head as if it were on the radio. She immediately went home and played it out on the piano. “The Gift” truly is a gift for listeners looking for a positive yet relaxing piano melody.

Downing follows this first track with an equally impressive tune entitled, “The Bedtime Song.” She explains this song was one she and her son, Andy, would add words to and sing each night. This is the perfect, relaxing, and mesmerizing bedtime song for any youngster.

Discovering Life’s Delicate Balance

On the sixth track of the CD, the title track, “A Delicate Balance,” tantalizes the listeners’ ears with quiet, yet upbeat melodies of piano sure to bring inner peace, harmony, and balance to all who seek it. This track is a perfect reflection of life for most of us: trying to attain and hold onto the balance that allows us to thrive in joy, happiness, and peace in life through all of the trials and tribulations it brings.

Lisa Downing's A Delicate Balance A Delicate Balance is thoughtfully explained and created by Downing, taking the listener on a beautiful musical tour through many of her life experiences: childbirth and child rearing, single parenthood, spirituality, and finally, love and finding her soul mate.

This is Downing’s third CD release, with her first being Think on These Things, all original compositions by Downing and Christmas for Two, her own interpretations of Christmas classics.
