A rainy day rehearsal recording of 'Not a Day Goes By' from Merrily We Roll Along, music & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.  Sung by Stacie Eirich, soprano. Piano by Karen Strickland.

Yes, the rain in the background of the track is real. It just seemed to fit the mood of the song, and so I decided to keep it and share. I hope you enjoy! It's one of my favorite Sondheim songs. -Stacie

Thanks for listening! I’m a mom who sings & writes poetry and prose.

Not a Day Goes By, music & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

A creepy recording I made while experimenting with loops.

Haunted Beckoning

This little number is totally inspired by my cat Sixx Vicious (pictured in all his round glory). It starts out with some crunchy blues in a straight forward 4/4 groove, and than morphs into a slow 6/8 groove before exploding into a full gallop 6/8 groove.
Towards the end it slows back down into a shuffle rhythm that fades into a rather different ending...surprise!!!! It's Chonkers.

Magnolia In Full Bloom…( Naviarhaiku 360 )

I wrote this song for my girlfriend when we were having issues in my relationship. I wrote this to comfort her. Hope you like it!

the comfort song

I'm not here to offend anyone, but I wrote this to represent the last 25 years of my dysfunctional relationship with my mom. Back when I was a junior in high school, she hurt her back and was always in a lot of pain. Even though she was a nurse, instead of turning towards medicine, she turned towards a group of newborn Christians to heal her. She befriended a Nigerian priest and a bunch of new religious fanatics and proceeded to hold mass in the living room of our house for the next 1.5 years. She changed all her friends and started surrounding herself with people that frankly scared me. Eventually, my parents separated and divorced, because she's no longer the person I once knew. It's been 25 years of her pressuring me to believe in God, but I've expressed to her since I was 15 that I'm an atheist. It's exhausting. She recently ended our last 2 phone calls screaming "Fuck You" and "You're Sick" to me. The last call was on my birthday. This is my response. 

This is art. This is therapy for my soul. It's not meant to offend anyone. I want you to believe in whatever you want to believe in. I don't appreciate religion being forced down my throat, so I feel pretty strongly about this....hence the song. Enjoy!


Religion Is A Drug

You used to be normal
Before you joined a fucking cult
Jesus destroyed our family
Yet you deny it’s all his fault 

He’s just a fictional character
In a 2,000 year old book
You would rather quote scriptures
Than see him as some kind of crook

-Chorus-
Religion is a drug x 3
And you’re a goddamn drug addict

We used to be closer
Before you lost your way
Doesn’t really seem like 
You have anything else to say (now at days)

Chorus

You’re just a drug addict
Drug addict

Chorus x2
