Stranger
I'm traveling on and on and on and on and on and on.. 
Can you point me
To the sweet green fields and the ever blue sky
Because I woke this morning in the hurricanes eye

Young traveler
The path you seek is in the heart you deny
Go look there
You might be surprised at the treasure you find
I remember being you're age and completely blind
Your compass is broken and it points to the sky
You're always gonna wake in the hurricanes eye

Stranger
I'm traveling on and on and on and on and on on and on
Because m feet are itchy and I don't wanna die
Stranded one morning in the hurricanes eye

Work This Thing Out (feat. JST DAVID)

I wrote this song when I was driving from New Orleans to Nashville (where I now live) for the first time. I had started the second leg of a 60 day US tour in my 1983 Dodge Camper Van. My bandmate/boyfriend had just left for another tour and I was on my own for the first time. It was an incredibly freeing feeling. Earlier that same year I had quit my day job working in insurance to do music full time, bought said camper van, and planned this tour. I manifested that exact moment; it was bad ass.

This song was inspired by a relationship I had that never should’ve happened. One of those situations where you’re just having fun with someone on the weekends and all of the sudden they have a key to your apartment and 7 months later you’re like “what just happened?”. Coincidentally he always wanted me to write a song about him…

Girlfriend Like You

Written by Emily Chambers & Curt Henderson. Produced by Daniel Klenner.

What's holding you back
From a life worth living
Making your dreams a distant vapor in the air
And would it be different 
If you were 23
You were 23 once

What are you building 
That's so monumental
No matter how high you build it
It won't reach the stars
Don't be afraid of a change that might switch your track
2 steps forward 1 step back, that's alright

[CHORUS]
Sit down with the heart that you had once
Let it bleed out, let it bleed out
Heavy is the head that you've been carrying
Begin, to start again
(Come on and do your own thing baby, you're not gonna regret it later)

What's pushing you down
Keeping you under a ceiling
Feeling like this is how your life has got to be
Would it be different
If you were out of debt
Ha, we may never know that
(we may never know that)

Why are you waiting
When time may not be there
It's never too late until you've left it 'til the end

[CHORUS]

Start Again

"Emily Taps Into The Human Element With Her Heartfelt Lyrics And Imagery, Making It Easy For The Emotions To Connect To The Listener.” – EARMILK

When she steps on stage you can’t help but feel like you just met her. The Vancouver native's musical journey has taken her from Berklee College of Music, to busking the streets of Europe, to touring various highways across the US of A after the release of her first EP Magnolia. In 2018 Chambers landed in Nashville, TN. Her second EP Start Again has received over 125,000 streams and counting. She has shared the stage with Rayland Baxter, Nikki Lane, Delta Rae, Walker Lukens, Liz Cooper & the Stampede, Briston Maroney, Lawrence, and more. 

Being unable to perform during the pandemic forced Emily to focus on her songwriting more than ever before. It is how she processes, understands, comes to terms with, reflects on and shares her stories. With the completion of her first full length album on the horizon, Chambers can’t wait to share what she’s been cookin’ up with you in 2023. Check out her latest release “Cicadas” with Stoop Kids.
