I was thinking about how people have been saying it's been so long, that they need new Haley music....
Looking back on the year, we have actually had
alot new Haley performances, (No thx to "Team Haley" or 19

)
Granted, the bulk of the performances are covers, that we would prefer new music, but even then, without a Label or Album, we have "Better" and "My Cake" has been a great surprise. Not to forget the Caley moments, including Caley's remarkable Stageit.....
Looking back, we have had more than an album's worth of Songs by Haley...
I think when Haliens 'pine' for new Haley music, it has as much to do w/ wanting to be right about her, to have acknowledgement of what we see in her by others, not in the Halien 'circle' . We want badly, for Haley to get that 'universal' seal of success.
I sometimes wonder if it's that kind of success that Haley wants. Casey has already said he is uninterested in the Mega Stadiums, prefering to play venues in which he is close to his fans. I can easily see Haley w/ a similar mindset, that her thresh hold for what she considers 'being a success' is not as High as what fans want for her
Haley will always be putting something out to enjoy, that is a certainty, IMO, if she happens to HIT w/ something she does, great, but if not to the extent we want, Haley will still be happy making a creative living
I'm glad to see that in this 'lull' she is still moving things forward, if not in her own educational growth about the music industry, which people who she's associated with, have been happy to help her with (Ole/ Dina, her lawyer)
(Not to say that Haley will just sit back and 'let things happen'. I believe she does have a focus enough to succeed, just that her personal/professional idea of success, in her mind, is probably not ours )
