Ella Miss

June. 30th 2022

On June. 29th,  2022, Alexander Nox, an artist and producer from Italy, sent the final master of the song,  "Ride the Waves," which I wrote this summer.  It sounded so beautiful!  I can't say enough about Alexander.  He is a phenomenal guitarist,  bassist and producer, all of which he shared on this song.  I am so incredibly grateful for his skill, talent and hardwork. 

Also, recently, I have had the privilege to take piano lessons with grammy nominated, producer, Davion Bottz at Bottz World Studios.  He has taught me several funk classics which led to the inspiration and creation of this fun summer vibe!   It will be available everywhere on July. 29th, 2022.  I hope you receive as much joy listening to it as I did creating it.   

Always surround yourself with amazing people and remember to "Ride the Waves."

In love,

Ella 

Lyrics

Ride the Waves - Lisa Reshkus (aka Ella Miss) 6-2-22 

It’s fun to ride the waves 

See where life takes me 

When we float you’ll see 

Together we’ll be care free 

Will you do me a favor 

Leave your thoughts of the past 

Don’t look back, don’t look back, don’t look back, don’t look back 

And tomorrow  

Be here now 

Make it last, make it last 

It’s fun to ride the waves 

See where life takes me 

When we float you’ll see 

Together we’ll be care free 

Have you ever  

Been where you wished you’d never been 

Why am I here, why am I here, why am I here 

But while there 

Lost an enemy  

Found a friend 

The water is warm 

Sun in the sky 

Wind in our hair 

Let’s fly

June 19, 2022

Today we celebrate Father's Day.  It will be the first time I play the song, "William," that I wrote in memory of my Dad in 2021.  He passed away in December of 2020.  At the end of his life,  he was battling Alzheimer's disease.

He was a civil engineer in Southeastern Wisconsin and created many interesting civil projects throughout this era.  On Sundays, he would take us on drives to see what he made.  He was especially proud of the parking lot at Babe Mann park in Elkhorn, which is uniquely round in shape.  He really didn't not care for straight lines and square turns.  This mark of his style is also seen in one of his other projects, Geneva National.  

In his memory, there is a bench dedicated to him located in Elkhorn on his favorite walking path, very near to the Babe Mann park.  Engraved on the bench are the words, "Your love continues to guide our way."

Here are the lyrics and chords for "William."  Enjoy!  I hope it brings positive memories of your father, or a father figure, to you as well.

William Lisa Reshkus - 10-1-21 

Am         F6             

The place with William,  

Dm          C 

etched in silver is  

Am     F6 

calling  

Dm            C 

calling me over. 

Am         F6 

listening, I go 

Dm              C            Am                    F6 

allowing my father to cradle me for a while. 

Dm                 C                       G 

I’m lost in the memories as a child. 

C2                                      D2 

A Sunday drive to view your city 

                       D2                          C2 

Parking in the lot that you made round,  

                        C2                        D2              

Turning on the 8-track, the Mancini sound 

G            D                 

I’d say, I love you, dad,  

                Em  Em D 

You’d say 0k 

G                          D                                  C                 

Sometimes you’d surprise me and say it back 

C            G/b         Am 

Your love still guiding my path 

C           G/b         Am         

I hope everyone has someone like Dad

Sometimes you’d surprise me and say it back 

C            G/b         Am 

Your love still guiding my path 

C           G/b         Am         

Your love still guiding my path 

Am F6 Dm C 

Your love still guiding my path 

Interlude 

Am F6 Dm C 

Am F6 Dm C G 

C2          C2                       D2 D2 

A yearly road trip to the cabin 

C2                       C2                                           

Canoeing down the river  

D2 

water skiing with your socks on 

C2                              D2 

Firing a 22 into a pop can 

G                 D2                                           C2 

Even in the end when you didn’t know my name 

G                      D 

You called me “the driver” 

                    C2 

I will always love you the same 

G            D                 

I’d say, I love you, dad,  

                Em  Em D 

You’d say 0k 

G                          D                                  C                 

Sometimes you’d surprise me and say it back

Your love still guiding my path

Your love still guiding my path

Your love still guiding my path
