Butter

We have all listened to a song lyric that somehow mysteriously resonates perfectly with a moment or a feeling we are experiencing. This is the case with Gillian Welch's brilliant Hard Times, a tune with deeper resonance this past summer and into the present! Unlike the hauntingly beautiful and minimalist original, I wanted to create an acoustic band feel with guitars, uke, mando, uke bass and brushes. I asked Saylar Craig, someone I've had the pleasure to share stages and recording sessions with in the past to add some fiddle. However, he came armed with something altogether different. His new eBay purchase, a 'viola d'amore' is a six string instrument with six additional sympathetic strings within the body producing a lovely, warm tone that fills out the arrangement beautifully. Ben Robertaccio helped create that warmth and put all the pieces in just the right place, as usual. Don't let these hard times rule your mind!

Hard Times

Happy Wedding Rachael & Joey! I love you both and wish you a lifetime of love and happiness. Enjoy this song about your love story.

Winona Forever
Music & Lyrics by Elina Filice

Let me tell you bout a go getter, jet setter, all-Canadian girl
She fell in love with her best friend, too bad he’s American
That day she left her home town, she was Michigan bound
They’re gonna start a new life together, live happily ever
She waved out the window of the cab we held tears back

No matter where you go
This will always be your home
We’ll always be waiting here, this'll always be home
We'll always be waiting here

Thinkin back to playin in the front yard, she was the soccer star
Saying hi to everyone she sees, almost the Peach Fest queen
Going out on Friday night, ain’t nothing wrong with a good time
On the phone with grandma for hours, driving down the highway
She promised she'd be home by Sunday

No matter where you go
This will always be your home
No matter where you go
This will always be your home

We’ll always be waiting here
This'll always be home
We’ll always be waiting here
This'll always be home

Singin bout late nights on the dock under Ontario stars
No matter who you become this always be who you are
So find something borrowed and something blue
I hope god makes all your dreams come true

No matter where you go
This will always be your home
No matter where you go
This will always be your home

We’ll always be waiting here, this’ll always be home
We’ll always be waiting here, this’ll always be home
We’ll always be waiting here, this’ll always be home
We’ll always be waiting here

Sketchy - Hit 'Em With The Low Cut [OUT NOW ON @paceplayazsociety]

For Release September 25, 2020. Dublin/ Toronto.
	Singer/songwriter Elina Filice and spoken word artist/rapper Claudia Crampton have teamed up for an emotive alternative R&B track, “Lying.” The song combines a modern hip-hop beat with alternative elements and Elina’s jazz-influenced guitar & bass playing. Claudia's clever rhymes and quick flow contrasts with Elina’s spoken-word style verse, and the hook features layered harmonies and vintage keys. 

Elina says, “Fascination with the concept of Lying inspired the song. So much of our lives, on a small and large scale, with how we relate to ourselves and each other, is based on lies. The lies we tell ourselves to get by, the lies we tell each other.”
Claudia says, “My verses narrate the story of a relationship that has had its many ups and downs but has ultimately reached its end. The verses reflect the turmoil and hardship that come with an unfaithful partner and the difficulties in coping with the heartache.”

Both queer and female artists, the pair met at at open mic in Dublin and hit it off. While sitting by the Molly Malone statue having the chats, Elina showed Claudia a voice memo she had of the guitar loop, while singing the hook overtop. A few days later Claudia sent over an absolutely fire first verse, and Elina was blown away by her ease of flow and lyrical style. 

The song was recorded, produced and mixed by Kevin Brennan of Wavefarm Productions. It was mastered by Anton Graef-Weber.

"Lying" - Elina Filice & Claudia Crampton

Dear Simon and Ally,

Happy wedding day! I couldnt be happier for you two!
This song is about taking fate into your own hands. Which is exactly what marriage is! None of us know what is in store, but marriage is saying that I'm choosing to be here by your side, with you no matter what. I'm so proud of you for making that choice, and taking your first step into forever amid all the uncertainty of a crazy year. 

I love you, all the best.
Elina

Lyrics:
they baptized him in a bathtub before his first flight
just a few weeks old he was never cold with them by his side 
and if the plane went down that night
there’d be no doubt in gods mind 
yeah heavens gates would open in the moonlight 

i - 
yeah i - 
i’ve loved you your whole life
even though i’m here on the other side 
a world a way forever in my mind 

our grand plans and intentions flew away 
at times it felt our dreams just couldn’t stay  
so we’ll take what matters into our own hands 
he said i’ll love you my whole life  
so come with me to the church on the hillside 

do you know 
do you know 
no matter where we go 
you’re the only light i need on a dark road 
here on the same side for the rest of our lives 

just say yes 
even if the world says no
if the world has other plans 
will you still be my wife
