"I’LL SEND A POSTCARD OVER TO YOU
A PAINTED SCENE OF GREENS AND BLUES
YOU WON’T BELIEVE IT’S TRUE
A FINE INTENTION MISCONSTRUED

NOW THAT IT’S OVER
YOUR HEART IS HEAVY 
AND YOUR FACE, IT’S STRETCHED SO LONG

HOLD ON...

I’LL TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU
AND KNOW THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO DO
BUT WATCH THE GHOSTS ACCRUE
THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE

IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
YOU’RE SEARCHING HIGH AND LOW 
ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW IT’S GONE

SO LONG..."

Analog Birds "Over to You" (Anti-Presence, 2014)

When I Find A Home is a piano piece written over the course of several nights at a municipal sewage plant.  It is a brisk instrumental piece in the style of the great classical guys of yestercentury.  Go ahead give it a listen, tell your friends. 

When I Find A Home

"Just Noise" was performed and produced by Isobel Morris during Jan/Feb 2016. Ingredients: Voice, Piano, Electric Guitar, Ukulele, Guiro, Kawai SX-240 Synth, and Drums. No autotune or vocal pitch correction was used on this recording. 

"Just Noise" originally appeared on Beck Hansen's 2012 album of sheet music, Song Reader, and has been covered by artists such as Norah Jones and Portland Cello Project. However, this new version by Isobel is the best. ;)


Isobel Morris - Just Noise (Beck Hansen Cover)

"Fool's Gold" was composed, produced, performed, and mixed by Isobel Morris. It's her first original solo single since transitioning. Hair & makeup by Danielle McNicholas.

How do you feel 
When you're trapped like a rat 
By the side of the road 
Sifting through the lead 
For some glimmer of gold? 

How do you know 
That the wheel keeps on turning 
When you're not around 
Will it still go around and around? 

Who's got the inclination now? 

Oh we'll find it in our time 
Smile and cross the wires 

Show me the key to a common mystique 
Where you learn not to speak 
Lest you seem indiscreet 
Plotting out your retreat 

And what's to be said 
When you're dead on your feet 
Like a living cliché 
Time has made obsolete 
Trading on 
Some checkered reputation 

Oh oh oh 
I can't listen to you anymore 
But I want you to know 

Your time is on the wire 
On the wire 

Out of the blue 
Some trace of a vague transmission 
Has made it through 
The purest love you never knew 
Was the warm embrace of a fool 
But the sound of her voice is fading 
And her face is receding from view... 

Oh I looked away 
So little communicated 
Yet so much to say 
And a fear mere words could not allay 
Can you feel the things that I do?
