This song is an ode to the spirit of old Madisonville. We are the oldest settlement in St. Tammany Parish and where the Pony Express ends. We are 900 souls of all backgrounds and we are surrounded by Bayou Dezaire', the Tchefuncte River, and Lake Pontchartrain. The marshes of Coquille' (the name when our town was founded by French fur trappers) boasts some of the most beautifully dramatic ecosystems in the state. While we are a resilient people, our coastlines and Historic buildings are fragile, including our Lighthouse, one of the few remaining original in the Louisiana. My hopes is this song will bring attention not only to our town for tourism, but moreover highlight the need to preserve our history and culture, especially our Lighthouse.

On a personal note, this is the first song I wrote after coming out of losing my writing partner and band member, as well as a long health battle with post covid complications. The marshes and town helped heal my mind body and spirit, and this is what came out. I hope you like it as much as I do.

"This song came from a very deep place in my soul and was produced by the indomitable Molly Thomas, with production assistance from Rick Hirsch and Ken Rose. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and that is true about Love and Addiction, and "My Most Deadly Sin". ~LM

Murphy explores a new Indie approach to her music with this single in the tradition of 'Portishead' and newer artists like 'Daughter'. (click read more under the graphic)

" This is a song nestled in one's soul. Brilliant would be an understatement; It's a lyrical Pulitzer Prize Winner, a time similar to other iconic bands or subsequent musicians who launched one song that would forever become the mantra that would always define. The Stones had 'Satisfaction', The Beatles had 'Yesterday', Aerosmith had 'Dream On', and you should have this masterpiece. It's more than a song; It's a revelation put to music". Don Aters Rock Music Historian & Photographer March 2020
