Is There Somewhere Halsey Cover

Fading (feels Like Its Over) Demo

A new, more personal track :) Lyrics below 

I spent my childhood in the trees
Worn out feet and scraped up knees
Imaginary adventures for fun
Beach blonde hair, skin touched by the sun

But I've grown demons on my shoulders
Over the years
And I've let them consume me
Over the years

I clung to my childhood stories
But they faded like the colour in my skin
A nature child trapped in concrete
I turned to potions, smoke and other sins


I've fought the demons that haunt me
I've won battles but not the war
And I've seen whats inside me
And I've learnt to love it all 

I've grown demons on my shoulders
Over the years
But I've set myself free
Over the years

Over The Years - Original Demo

An original song written by Alanna Joy. 
Recorded live at SAE by Melani Robertson.

All I want - Live at SAE

'Sweet Thing' is one of my favourite cover songs to perform. I fell in love with Jeff Buckley's rendition and soon also discovered Hozier's version. After performing it for almost a year, my take on it has changed quite a lot from the original version. I hope you guys enjoy!

Sweet Thing - Van Morrison Cover (Live At The Midnight Music Sessions)

A fun love song based on the concept of 'love and war'.

Blow Your Mind (Live At Midnight Music Sessions)

Singer-songwriter from Cape Town :)
Genre: Ambient folk/pop rock
Born in Ireland and raised in South Africa, Alanna writes according to emotion not genre, but describes her sound as ambient folk/pop rock. Her music is lyrically and vocally focused and she accompanies herself with gentle guitar. At a young age she was exposed to artists such as Paul Simon, The Beatles and Katie Melua. The music she is influenced by today includes those and many others such as Alanis Morisette, Katie Melua and Tracy Chapman. At 19 years old, she has been writing music since the age of 15 and has been playing for much longer. Her lyrics and performances are both personal and emotive, taking the listener upon an emotional journey. Her songs are all connected, in an almost storyteller manner, and mainly revolve around the different elements of one’s relationship with oneself and others. She has begun playing with the band "The Guy Is Alive" and has since performed with them at venues such as The Waterfront Ampitheatre, City Hall, The Obviously Armchair and The Quay 4.
