The Real Thing
Robin Lee Field
In a world of fake stay the real thing.
Hi there! Thank you for visiting my music website. My name is Robin and I have been writing songs since I was just a young girl of 9 years old and had this burning desire to express my deepest emotions. It is early 2024 and I am 66 years old now. Yes I am a proud baby boomer. I was a Software Engineer for 40+ years, left my profession in March 2022 and am now officially retired in 2024. The gift of a song has always been there for me to find my way through darkness I first experienced as a child. It gave me hope, it gave me light, it gave a voice to my heart. I have always dreamed that one day I would take these songs and share them with the world. Finally in 2007 when I turned 50 and was blessed with 7 years of sobriety that's just what I did.
With hundreds of songs and recordings and hopefully still more yet to come I continue to share my music that reflects the emotional journey of my life. I believe my style and songs are a blend of many genres and reminiscent of all the music I grew up with and have loved, still love and even more so now. This creative place of mine is where I find roots and traces of country, blues, folk, jazz, pop, and good old rock and roll wrapped into new melodies and lyrics that accompany my inner voice of emotional expression. In the end I am able to produce a work of art that I love and has given me so much joy. Though I recognize this natural gift I have been given, I also recognize how very hard I have worked on myself, on my voice, my guitar, my songwriting, my home recordings and videos that I share with you. If you do listen I'd love to know your thoughts and if a song of mine moved you in any way. For me emotional communication in a song has a direct connection to my heart and maybe it does for you as well.
I have also decided this year to remove my music from other online sites where I have generously shared my work of art for many years. It is time to find one home for my songs, my covers, and my videos and it will be here with Bandzoogle for now. I also may change my mind in the future if I see significant changes that prioritize the protection and safety of others who choose to use social media and other online platforms to share their work of art.
And please remember it really is never ever too late while you are on this earth to follow your heart. The landscape may change and certainly you have changed, but that heart of yours and what you love, well that is the very essence of your soul. Do you know I didn't learn to harmonize until I was 50 years old? It's true. Never thought I could. My Mom could, my sister could but I never could all through my life until when I turned 50 and began recording all my songs, singing and playing and practicing daily that “just like that” I could harmonize! What a joy it was to discover this ability I never thought I had. So follow your passion no matter your age. Let it fill you with purpose, meaning, joy and a place to leave your fingerprints, your footsteps of your life here on earth.

In a world of fake stay the real thing.
I wrote this song in February 2024. Nothing but the truth so help us God.
