Light Years Away

by Mozella
Mozella

Biography:

Detroit-bred singer-songwriter MoZella (born Maureen McDonald, 1982) seamlessly blends pop, soul, and jazz into her carefully crafted tales of life and love. Her charismatic vocals and charming personality have earned her the reputation as a fresh alternative to formulaic pop artists. Now based out of Los Angeles, MoZella is released her third full-length album in 2012, co-written with Motown legend Brian Holland, "The Brian Holland Sessions." Holland wrote over 25 #1 Motown songs.

1st and 5th-strings should be muted unless specified as open.

The numerous string-scrapes in the performance suggest that many of the
chords are played in high positions. The low-third in Bm and recurring
D-note is likely the 4th-string being left open. There is a certain
logic to these voicings - more familiar forms may be used if preferred.
