Darby Wilcox - Cold ("She Took To The Sea" Available on Bandcamp)

I lay at night, wondering how to cloak,
the aching thoughts, this feeling in my throat
I need a friend, we could all use one of those
your heart's gone away, for better, I suppose

A light blue sky, bruises that never show
you can't be loved, cause your heart's a stone
I need some help, I'll get by, alright though
you would never know, you would never know

I'd bite my tongue, and i'd cut my throat,
just to see you again, behind some city shadow,
so here laid to rest, all of my hopes,
but you would never know
you would never know

A bright yellow sun, shines through my window
but I won't get up, i'll keep my eyes closed, 
your city heart, don't feel so different

I can see your pain, stained on your clothes,
I can feel your words hit me like the wind blows
If you need a friend, I'll be there forever, though
you would never know, you would never know.

You Would Never Know

made this in my bedroom

lyrics:
on and on we ran to find a little place, we could rest our heads
up to the sky we went, by the end of the night, we'd shed our summer skin
i'd hate to wake you up, before i go,
what a lovely tale, you, you told

tell your stories, to your friends
a boy from the summer
and the nights that you had spent

a peace you found inside
told some lonely secrets
you thought you'd always hide

you said, so long ago
"my heart had never shown",
things will be alright,
just love me one more night

and you'll try to let it go
i know, you'll, be so grown
there ain't no going home

there's a girl in my dreams
i don't know what it means
but i've waited here so long
don't tell me that i'm wrong

and ill try to let it go
i'll try to be so grown,
but there aint no going home

looking on from now, before I leave this place
before I'm six feet down
I'll remember the nights we spent
over by the creek side, where we shed our summer skin

~ Lyrics

From these cliffs we can see far
There are ships set sail for places yet explored
There are footprintless places in our view
I am standing here alone next to you

And even as the sun goes down 
And you put away your crown
And there’s nothing left to hide
I’m the one on the outside

There’s a peril if we step 
Too far forward, too far back
Is freedom falling or standing on firm ground?
I never know when you’re around

And even as the sun goes down 
And you put away your crown
And there’s nothing left to hide
I’m the one on the outside

We haven’t been a mile from home
But we both know why you’ve flown
Like the birds that circle here
Until they sense the end is near

And even as the sun goes down
And you put away your crown

The legend of Darby Wilcox begins many years ago deep in the darkest corners of the wilderness. We know very little about Darby’s true origins as she was raised by a pack of wolves until the age of seven. Wolves are notoriously poor record keepers so details about her age or how she came to join a wolf pack as an infant are a mystery to us all. We can theorize, however, that long nights spent howling at the moon might have been key in the development of one of the most soulful voices in the music industry today.
When she was discovered by hunters and returned to her family Darby coupled her voice with a passion for musical instruments. Over the years Darby has taught herself how to play the guitar, ukulele, harmonica and even the kazoo. She actually picked up the guitar at the age of 12 when a dislocated finger prevented her from attending the flute lessons her human family had forced upon her. One suspects from her fine tuned wolf instincts that the injury was self-imposed in order to pursue more a desirable instrument but after all these years Darby remains mum on that subject.
As Darby continued to develop her talent for music, she also found herself living life to the fullest. Just last year she rode her bicycle across South Carolina from the Upstate to Charleston. When asked why one would pursue such a strenuous undertaking over a mere three days, Darby admits that she “wanted to take on a challenge that would raise money for charity and really punish my crotch. Plus, I wanted to trade that thing in for a younger model anyway.” Crotch punishment aside, Darby has also been shot multiple times in a drug deal gone awry, saved a family from a meth lab explosion and played Sandra Bullock’s stunt double in the movie Speed.
Through all of this excitement, Darby’s focus has never strayed from music. Citing Cat Power, Radiohead, Elliot Smith, The Beatles, Counting Crows, Bjork, Velvet Underground (R.I.P. Lou), Badly Drawn Boy, Wilco, Neko and Beck as her influences, Darby has always expressed herself through her music. From the first song she recorded for an elderly boyfriend when she was 15 to songs about more emotionally mature moments like motherhood, Darby’s real story has always been told through song. 
After five years as a member of O Melo Cello Tree and a year with Adele Cotton, Darby has struck out on her own as a strikingly impressive solo artist as well as a band leader. Darby’s solo performances and recordings offer a unique window into the soul of this artist but things get a little more rambunctious when she is accompanied by her band of misfits she lovingly refers to as “The Peep Show”. In either incarnation, Darby Wilcox is an outstanding performer with one hell of a story to tell…
Darby’s first solo EP She Took to the Sea is the first chronicle of the tales of a young musician that has a lifetime of stories to share. It is inspired by her travels, her raw emotions and an innocence that prevails despite her aged soul. Ongoing DNA testing may yet prove that despite her comfort with the wolf pack, her true roots could actually have more ties to the fabled sirens of the sea as we suspect she might be a mermaid. At any rate, the combination of genetics, personal history, and undeniable talent make She Took to the Sea a true five-song masterpiece.
