And I guess, maybe, can only sing that gently, when I'm feeling, loved, when I'm feeling loved And now it is but a breathy reminder Before tonight... And now it is but a breathy reminder Maybe I can only sing that gently, when I'm feeling loved, when I'm feeling loved (Mmmh) And maybe I can only sing that gently, when I'm feeling loved I want to learn to sing with a whisper With my heart wide open I want to learn to sing with a whisper With my heart wide open To voice my fears and hopes To voice my fears and hopes In what might be a less than safe atmosphere I want to learn to sing in a whisper I want to learn to sing in a whisper With my heart wide open With my heart wide open To voice my fear To voice my hopes and fears In what may be a less than safe atmosphere.

Way-a-ya I've heard it said By folk that I respect (mmm) I've heard it said By folk that I respect (mmm) 'bout a man who lived Two thousand years ago Who said you turn the other cheek And rise above and find forgiveness And I guess, that I've aspired to live in such a way But I'm so angry now I'm so angry now But I'm still so very weak But I'm getting stronger And by God I'm gonna use this mouth to speak I'm getting angry And I'm not gonna turn away I'm getting angry And I'm not gonna turn away Gunna harness my rage Gunna harness my rage Harness my rage And soon someday I hope To spiel my vitriol No longer, passively lamenting The zeitgeist you represent I'm angry now And getting stronger by the day Ain't gonna turn that cheek No no no no no way.

about

A unique voice capturing an emotional immediacy of raw, primal core self, struggling to transcend adversity through embracing aspects of higher love and beauty. Fragility, Strength, Outrage, Joy, Melancholy and a little Silliness....... Shades of emotional and spiritual being, conveyed in deep and sometimes husky tones. A nine track debut album of vocal improvisations.
