Civil Twilight - Story Of An Immigrant

http://apple.co/1GcpdKp

we've been down this road
nothing new up there 
went so fast we broke out of control
broke beyond repair
the crash was me and you
a million cuts and fears
the story's old its old old old
how did we get here

don't waste my time
by calling me back into your broken promise
i know its a trap
don't waste my time
by calling me back 
i said what i needed to say
don't waste, don't waste my time

the devil that you know
seduced by cheap affairs
you love to lose control
when someone else is there
but you would never do
with make up and pretend
and i'd do anything to be that dumb again

don't waste my time
by calling me back into your broken promise
i know its a trap
don't waste my time
by calling me back 
i said what i needed to say
don't waste, don't waste my time

Don't Waste My Time

“The Long Winding Road Back to Who I Was Meant to Be” is a deeply personal collection of songs tracing Abigail Markley’s real-life journey as a transgender woman—one of courage, rediscovery, and grace. Each song marks a milestone on her path toward authenticity, from moments of doubt and heartbreak to quiet victories and radiant self-acceptance. Through heartfelt vocals, intimate storytelling, and lush acoustic textures, Abigail invites listeners to walk beside her on that winding road toward truth, healing, and love.

Produced by Inclusive Rainbow Studios, this album is not only a chronicle of transformation but also a celebration of resilience and the beauty of becoming exactly who you were always meant to be.

What Did I Do

Drifting far away
Where are we now?
Hiding in this crazy space
Nothing left to say
We ease our minds
Floating high above this place

Here we'd get through
There are no decisions to be made
I'd still have you
Our love and trust would never fade

No I won't come down
The world is beautiful up here
No I won't come down
There's too much pain beneath us dear
I know we ought to finally let it go
But on the ground I'm nothing without you

By the morning
You will be gone
And so will all the vows we made
Time is calling
You will move on
And I'll be heading back again

Down there I'm through
Those games are too hard for me to play
I would miss you
Knowing that I wasted us away

No I won't come down
The world is beautiful up here
No I won't come down
There's too much pain beneath us dear
I know we ought to finally let it go
But on the ground I'm nothing without you
I know we ought to finally let it go
But on the ground I'm nothing without you

Stars were falling right out of the sky
Falling slow like snow on my bed
We're brighter than bone by the light of the moon
Softer than silver of a spider's thread

Oh my god just the way that you breathe in
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
Oh my god I can't believe it
It feels like home to me, it feels like home

I wanna fall just under your skin
Shaking the walls like thunder for fun
And I wanna stay just under your breath
But you got this way of holding my tongue

Oh my god just the way that you breathe in
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
Oh my god I can't believe it
It feels like home to me, it feels like home

Oh my god just the way that you breathe in
Feels like home to me, it feels like home
Oh my god I can't believe it
It feels like home to me, it feels like home

Oh my god just the way that you breathe in
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
Oh my god I can't believe it
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
Yes it feels like home to me, it feels like home

Heart of a Lion

For Jillette Johnson the journey has been as integral to her musical experience as the destination. Jillette, who began taking music lessons and penning songs as a child, has been performing live since she was 12, captivating audiences with her sultry, thoughtful piano-driven tunes. The musician, now 24, has spent the last decade cultivating her sound and defining her unique perspective. When she moved to New York City from her small town of Pound Ridge, NY at 18, Jillette was already familiar with the city and its clubs, from Sidewalk Cafe to The Bitter End to Rockwood Music Hall. 

In early 2012, Jillette inked a deal with Wind-up Records, who were drawn in by her track “Cameron,” an inspirational number that explores the struggle of a transgendered person whom Jillette knows. The song appeared on the singer’s five-track EP, Whiskey & Frosting, which came out in August 2012, a prelude to her June 25, 2013 Wind-up Records’ debut album release, Water In A Whale. Culled from six months worth of recording sessions at Wind-up’s New York studio, the album traces Jillette’s experiences and ideas about living in the city and being young in today’s society. She finished the album fall 2012, just before going out on tour, and as it turned out those weeks on the road shifted the musician’s sensibilities. 

“There’s this funny thing that happens when you go on the road,” Jillette says. “Because you’re not around the people that you’re normally around and you’re in a different environment and you’re constantly being creative and putting out things. Your voice starts to change, both literally and figuratively. I just started growing really rapidly and my perspective started changing a lot. I got back two weeks before Christmas and I knew that we had to have everything done by the first of the year. So I had six months to make the record and two weeks to change everything. A lot of artists don’t get that opportunity, to be able to have the album that they made and come back and make tweaks. That’s pretty rare and I got to do it.”

The final album, which features the five tracks found on Whiskey & Frosting, centers on Jillette’s soaring vocals and the sparse, haunting piano lines she wrote to accompany them. Produced by Peter Zizzo (Vanessa Carlton, Avril Lavigne) and Michael Mangini (Joss Stone, David Byrne), the album reveals Jillette’s pensive reflections on the world around her, all of which lead to a deeper understanding of self-identity. The real power comes from those songs about the musician herself, however and the rest of the album follows in tone.

Water In A Whale opens with the explosive and powerful, “Torpedo,” a song about resilience. “I wrote it about my relationship with my career and my unwillingness to give up on my dream,” says Jillette.  “I've been writing and playing music for whoever would listen since I was a little kid, and with that has come a lot of rejection and heartache. ‘Torpedo’ is about absorbing those blows to my ego and then bouncing right back up to fight.”

The poignant “Cameron,” was written both from personal experience with someone the musician knows and from the idea of what it means to grapple with who you are. The glowing number focuses on what it means to be authentic to ones’ self, a universal theme. “I do have someone in my life that’s transgendered and I’ve learned a lot from this person,” Jillette says. “But I think I actually wrote ‘Cameron’ more about myself and about that feeling of being alien in your own skin. It’s been really awesome to play that song around the country and meet people who share stories that may have to do with being transgendered or may have to do with feeling a little bit different.” 

“When the Ship Goes Down,” a hushed ballad, plays with the idea of the immortality you feel when you’re young while the sultry “Bassett Hound” offers an unbalanced account of unrequited love, based on, as Jillette says, “every time I showed too many of my cards and wanted someone too much.” The ethereal “Pauvre Coeur” treads similar ground, excising the anger the singer felt about a relationship that started to “devour” her. “True North,” a soaring and epic number written in that urgent two-week period last winter, touches on what it means to return home, a fulcrum for the musician’s ideas about her identity.  “It’s about coming home and accepting the failures that you endure along the way,” Jillette says. “And realizing that you’re gonna have a place to come home to, and that’s the home inside your own head when all the other voices go away. Because they’re not you so they don’t care enough to stay that long. You’re still going to have your own voice and that’s what coming home means to me.”

Jillette brings her impassioned live aesthetic onto the album, infusing each number with a sense of intimacy and fervor. The songs shift from light-hearted buoyancy of “Bassett Hound” to the heavy urgency of “Cameron,” showcasing a viable array of musical – and lyrical – inspiration. For Jillette, whose years of experience and practice have set her up for what’s to come, the goal is to bring these songs to life for as many people as possible. 

“The next year or two I think are wide open, in terms of what amazing things could happen,” the singer says. “And I think it’s just up to me to work hard every day and have a lot of luck. I hope to really build my live show. I can’t get to hung up on what exactly will happen. It’s really just about every day playing my heart out and connecting with fans over human experiences.”
