Something In The Blood

See Through Heart
Lyrics by: Melissa Bollea & Amanda Lamb

VERSE 1:
I may not be the first to speak
Or look your way just so you see me
So if you notice, let me know
Cause I don’t choose these things I don’t show

PRE-CHORUS 1:
What I can’t say I hope that you will see

CHORUS:
I am more than a pretty face
A wallflower with nothing to say
Been called shy, fear taught me why
Put together then pulled back apart
Could you see me if you saw my scars?
If I had a see through heart?

VERSE 2:
There’s a highway through my thoughts
Missing words like love and trust
And I admit that I am scared
But if you want I can meet you there

PRE-CHORUS 2:
Reach for me and I will touch your hand

CHORUS

Instrumental Bridge

HALF-CHORUS:
Been called shy, fear taught me why
Put together then pulled back apart
Would you see me if you saw my scars?
If I had a see through heart?


See Through Heart

Marionette
Lyrics by: Bill DiLuigi & Amanda Lamb

VERSE 1:
It’s a secret kept from fools
How we came to be
Could be divine accident
Or some starcrossed chemistry

PRE-CHORUS 1:
We never seem to make it last
But there’s a spark that always comes back


CHORUS:
When I hear you calling my name
There’s a strange kind of music that plays
You pull all the wrong strings
Drawing me in to a dance I’m gonna regret
My heart’s not mine
It’s you marionette

VERSE 2:
Every time you come around
You leave a thousand little wounds
And your shadow’s over my head
It’s always hanging around this room

PRE-CHORUS 2:
I try to act like it’s not there
Today I’m moving on I swear

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I thought I had my head on straight
But here we go again

CHORUS

Your marionette

I thought I had my head on straight
But here we go again...

Endless Summer

Edge of Midnight
Lyrics by: Bill DiLuigi & Amanda Lamb

VERSE 1:
I guess I’ll just get up out of this bed
There’s reckless creatures running through my head
They have names like Fear and Worry
The past keeps turning round in circles
11:59 won’t let me rest

CHORUS:
I’m standing on the edge of midnight
Looking for the right road in a cold sky
Halfway between the darkness and the light
Standing on the edge of midnight

VERSE 2:
Can’t see the future through this window pane
Wish I could put these shadows in their place
There’s a lot of life in a distant somewhere
I don’t know how, but I’ll get there
And tune in some satellite for a brighter day

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I’m tired but I’m not done
My heart has seen the sun
The morning’s gonna come

CHORUS:
I can see it from the edge of midnight
Looking for the right road in a cold sky
Halfway between the darkness and the light
Standing on the edge of midnight 

Standing on the edge of midnight
Aah, aah
Aah, aah


Edge Of Midnight

Barefoot
Lyrics by: Dave Tough & Amanda Lamb

VERSE 1:
In the eyes of the children
Running through the forest
Dancing barefoot in the rain

Twirling through the twilight
Without inhibition
Driving where the roads aren’t paved

PRE-CHORUS:
As your life unfolds
Embrace it in your soul

CHORUS:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Listen to the drum
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We dance, we run

VERSE 2:
Sunshine on your window
Crying tears of freedom
Holding someone close in your arms

The lonely voice that calls you
As you spin in silence
Leaving footprints in your heart

PRE-CHORUS 2:
On the edge of life
This is our time

CHORUS

Instrumental Bridge

CHORUS x2

Running barefoot


Barefoot

Country music is a soundtrack of the south. With the artistry of vocalist and songwriter Amanda Lamb, the compass points to Southern California and the sun swept shores of Orange County. Amanda’s new single, “We Were Here,” is an invitation to a coastline drive and an exuberant nod to her West coast roots. Her wistful “Endless Summer” evokes a vivid panorama of rusted Woodies, shivering palm trees, abandoned surfboards and deserted cottages.  “Somewhere the surf’s always up,” confirms this California girl.  

Belying her 20 short years on this earth, Amanda reveals her emotional intensity in songs of yearning, heartbreak and courage. “Sometimes singing about things I have yet to experience, but I dream about,” she says. 

Recorded in Nashville by eminent producer Kent Wells (noted for recent work with Dolly Parton) the tracks feature a skillful collective of Music City players supporting Amanda’s warm, confiding voice. Amanda sang live in the studio, bouncing her musical ideas off of enthusiastic players employing organic instruments. “I just love the vibe,” she says of the famous musical community, “Nashville has such an appreciation for original music.”

Working with accomplished collaborators Bill Diluigi and Melissa Bollea boosted Amanda’s confidence as a songwriter. She says that her lyrical mission is “To take a cliché that you hear everyday and twist it to make it personal and universal at the same time.” 

Amanda Lamb discloses powerful truths in the song “Something in the Blood,” her personal homage to all of the inspirational people she has met who are living their lives with Type 1 diabetes, a condition that has been part of her reality since she was one year old. “The song is both literal and figurative,” says Amanda, “because there is strength, bravery and courage in my blood.” 

Growing up in Newport Beach, humming along to Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain on the radio, Amanda Lamb was entranced by the authenticity of country music. “The stories in these songs sounded real,” she says. When she began her personal musical journey, she recalls her grandmother making a perceptive suggestion. “She said, ‘Why don’t you sing country?’” Recording in Nashville, she realized that her Grandmother had been right. “Country Music feels more comfortable than anything I have ever done,” she says. “It feels like home.”
