    LYRICS:
    I know I may seem pretty tough 
    It takes a lot to earn my trust 
    But you did 
    You were good 
    It was love 

    I don’t make lovers 
    Don’t make friends 
    Don’t have the patience for pretense 

    And for the first time in my life 
    I didn’t want this to end 
    But it did 

    Chorus: 
    Kiss me like you mean it 
    I want to hear you scream, yea 
    I got you by the eyes 
    Before I say goodbye 
    I’ll leave you with something 
    Something to forget me by 

    Is it possible to love someone to death? 
    I used to watch you while you slept 
    If I could sip you through my fingers 
    Like the scent that lingers on the shirt you left 

    Chorus 

    Bridge: 
    Look at me, baby 
    Oh please can’t you smile for me 
    Oh why such sad eyes 
    I can’t be all that bad 
    Can I? 
    Love…I do this all in love 
    So… 

    Chorus x3

    Oh wow, wow. New Anaïs Mitchell is coming in February and I have a feeling it is going to be just stunning. If you sign up for her mailing list on her website, you can get a free track, The Shepherd.  Tracklisting is up on her website as well, so excited she finally recorded the song Venus!

  • Help create a Shadow Puppet Video for ellen cherry’s newest song Pickett’s Charge


    ellen cherry (yup, it’s supposed to be lower-case!) has a pretty cool project going to create a shadow puppet video for one of the songs on her upcoming album, “Please Don’t Sell the Piano”.  The contraption for the video is called a “crankie”, probably because you crank a big spool of paper with the background images on it from one side to the other, while the puppeteer uses puppets and lighting to create the story in real time.  In other words, awesome!

    You may remember ellen from our interview in September, click here to listen to the archive on KRUU (or download and listen later!)

    If you want to support this fascinating and beautiful artistic collaboration, click the IndieGoGo button to watch ellen’s video explaining the project, and to donate as well as spread the word!
