Rise
You gotta breathe,
To sow the seed....
You gotta breathe,
To feed your need....
You gotta breathe,
Not see disease,
You gotta breathe,
To be free.....
Were all obsessed with our dramas,
No free space to unfold.
Just round and round with self torture,
Leaving our hearts stone cold.
Runnin the same shit again and again....
We gotta rise above,
We gotta rise from love...
If were turning things around,
We must be lost before were found,
Take courage, take heart.
As the crows fly circling the grey concrete jungle,
This world is falling apart.
If we reap what we sow then now’s the time to go...
We gotta rise above,
We gotta rise from love...
We gotta rise above,
We gotta rise from love...
Lets sow the seeds of intelligence,
Lets sow the seeds of change.
Lets sow the seeds so the world can turn from grey to green again.
Again.........
We gotta rise above,
We gotta rise from love...
We gotta rise above,
We gotta rise from love...
From love, from love...
You gotta breathe, to sow the seed,
You gotta breathe, to be free......to be free to be free.....

Your Love
Your love is tender,
Your love is warm.
Your love is strongest,
When I feel torn.
Your love keeps me safe,
When I don’t know which way I’m going.
Your love keeps me strong,
When things go wrong.
And this feeling that I have for you,
Won’t go away anytime soon..
Your love your love your love...
From above above above...
Your love makes me smile,
When I’ve been down for a while,
Your love brings me peace,
When I feel incomplete.
And I know that I would rather be,
With you, I know my soul flies free.
Your love your love your love...
Your love your love your love...

Bird Cage
My Freedom,
It’s why you love me.
It’s why you hate me too.
Why do you lace this,
Corset so tight?
I cannot breathe,
Feel your dis-ease.
My eyes,
To the horizon,
Gentle, breath of wings.
But your fear,
Chases behind me,
Steels my voice so I can’t sing.
Why do you want to cage this?
Why do you want to cage this?
Why do you want to cage this bliss?
The cliff is so high but I jump,
I swoop and I dive I am truly alive.
Air under my wings and I lift.
Not shoved in your tight little box,
I don’t fit.
Stuffing me in,
Stuffing me in.
Through the bars of this cage,
Only loose and no win.
Why do you want to cage this?
Why do you want to cage this?
Why do you want to cage this?
(ohhs...)
Don’t you wanna, free me?
Don’t you wanna, free me?
Don’t you wanna, free me?
Don’t you wanna, free me free me?
Free me free me.....

Porcupine Boy
Porcupine boy, is not your toy,
He is beautiful, he is free.
You can rattle you can rake him,
Spike him you can shake him,
Porcupine boy is free.
Porcupine boy is full of joy,
His smile, lights up his face.
Try to beat him down,
With your cold hard frown,
His soul you will never taste.
He can be undressed and forced to confess,
The lies you put on his tongue.
He will do as you please, as you watch him bleed,
he cannot, he will not, be undone.
Oh wah oh oh wah oh wah oh wah x2
Porcupine boy is not your toy,
His neck, free of your noose.
You can beat him, you can kick him,
Prod him, you can stick him
His heart, it knows the truth.
He can be undressed and forced to confess,
The lies you put on his tongue.
Don’t belong in your zoo, cause his heart is true,
He cannot, he will not, be undone.
Oh wah oh oh wah oh wah oh wah x4

Dirty little secret
Lock the doors,
Close the blinds.
The outside world,
Left behind.
Hold my hand,
Look me in the eyes,
Gone is circumstance,
And its disguise.
I’ll be your, dirty little secret,
I don’t mind, I don’t mind.
I tell myself you love me,
I tell myself you care.
Your dirty little secret,
Just a whisper in your ear.
I need a man, to stand by my side.
I need a man, when the fun runs dry.
Dirty little secret is a crumbling lie.
This empty bed is my alibi.
Lock the doors,
Close the blinds.
The outside world,
Left behind.
Hold my hand,
Look me in the eyes,
Your dirty little secret,
I don’t mind.

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe.

This is a totally mesmerizing album. It;s really special, and feels like a beautiful melancholic painting (if that makes any sense). Amongst singer-songwriters, very few have such a distinctive style of there own.

Nicely done. Beautiful Was it a Dream song. A sad ambiance all along the way, to choose only when you want it. Do not let Emily take you to the Dead City if you are into something else... go to meet All the Colors of the Dark > CD "Strangers" A Must !

Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
