This gives you a peep into the other end of the less sultry // more singer-songwriter-y vibes. Open to co-writes, doesn't have to be a Cyote single.
Super raw.

lyrics:
Down the hall & to the right
Walkin' fast & packin' light
Bending knees & crushin' leaves
I believe that if I leave
I could find these silly things
Silly things to help me see 
What I believe this life could be
What I can see when I dream

& when I make it pretty far
I'll make a wish on every star
For every gal & every guy
Who ever wished that they could fly
High above this silly mess
High above beside the rest
Of every guy & every girl
Who ever wished to save the world
Wish I could save the world

Ooo if I tried..
What would I find?
Who would I have to fight?
Would I make it through the night?

Down the hall & to the right
it's askin' lots this time of night
I haven't got the time to fight
I never wished for fickle strife
So I'll lock the door if you get the blinds
& we can hide our lives behind
Another day of fakin' fine
Another way of doin' time
Another way of fakin' fine

This track is a fusion of sounds from the past and present; recordings from an ancient rock gong, tribal voices and whistling married together with an electronic, melodic undertone and brought together by field recordings of the African wilderness.

This first track from The Rock Gong Project made using ancient Rock Gongs found in central Tanzania with vocals and whistles recorded from the hunter gatherer Hadzabe tribe where we discovered the Rock Gongs.

Greed

Even if that strength looks so tender and soft at times, or angry and hard-headed, some part of you is wishing to be well and can remember the way.

Fire

These Days

Cry, baby, cry.
Cry because you love.
The song is still alive in your lungs.

Grieve, baby, grieve.
Grieve because you see.
Grieve because you feel
What is real.

There is no running away now.
Can you look her in the eyes
And Cry

Cry, baby, cry.
Cry because it hurts.
Cry for what it’s worth.
What is this worth?

There is no turning away now.
(Nowhere to left to run)
Can you look her in the eyes and try?

Try, baby, try.
Try because you can.
And you may not get the chance again.

Cry baby cry
Cry because you love
And the song is still alive in your lungs
In your lungs
In your lungs

Real J. Wallace - Redlines prod by Ca $later

cyote lou is the musical moniker of Carter Lou McElroy :: a mixed-media artist & songwriter based in the Hudson River Valley of  New York, Mohican Territory. 

In February of 2020, she debuted her first single & video for  “ red ”  via BUST Magazine and more recently co-curated Greene County, New York’s first all LGBTQIA+ multidisciplinary art exhibition for Pride at the Athens Cultural Center in Athens, NY. 

Since her last release, McElroy has produced short and long form videos for other artists (including Lea Thomas’ 2021 release Hummingbird) in addition to moonlighting as the house band at Sarah Gray Miller’s newly opened upstate New York speakeasy, Ravish Liquors (“antiques in the front, party in the back!”).

Inspired by art that provokes optimism and the many avenues of storytelling that strengthen the concept of Community.. her most recent artwork exists in the digital space via animation, video shorts & layered photography.
