An asylum on new year's eve

AN ASYLUM ON NEW YEARS EVE (c) 2011 N.MIranda
(from the album Venus Gets Even - Nadeah)
An asylum on new year's eve 
Is not quite what you hoped for 
But you got one and they stuck it on your record  
For free 

Confiscated your new guitar 
Kept it safe behind the matron's bar 
So you sat in the courtyard singing songs by Jeff Buckley   

"Why am I in here?" 
I ask the nurse 
"Provocative clothing and your star-spangled words 
Refusing medication, when we tried our very best to help you" 

An asylum on new year's eve 
Number 24 looks at me knowingly 
Says "Involuntary?" 
"Yes"  I say with pride
"Well take some good advice" 
"Beyond these walls a thousand eyes 
Are watching you for your sweet demise 
Do what they say and be precise" 
It's mystery, mystery, mystery, mystery 
It's mystery, mystery, mystery, mystery 

"Why am I here" 
I ask the nurse? 
"Provocative clothing and your star spangled words 
Refusing medication, when we tried our very best to help you" 
"Threatening the doctors, they were terrified 
Through you said nothing they all saw it in your eyes 
Refusing medication when they tried their very best to help you”

An asylum on New Year's Eve

RUN copyright 2015 N. Miranda

All the stones and papers in a pile on your bookshelf say
'Stay away 'cause I ain't got the space or time'
Broken glasses, windows never clean, your safety belt
Let us walk down to the river
Take a night stroll by the water

And then you run
And still you run

Plastic bags are splitting out the seams of fading cupboards
Lego blocks all packed up in a box
So what you building now?
Now that we are standing at the edge will you retreat
Or come and walk out on the water?
It's not that hard please remember 

And then you run
And still you run
And though the seeds of change they start to call your name
What'll it take boy for you to be a man?
What are you fighting for, do you run just 'cause you can?

Heavy as you wake up in the morning what's your story?
Summertime just don't feel like she used to do
Whistle, smile, pretending that you're fine but I see through 
Will you hold on forever,
Waiting for perfect weather?

And then you run
And still you run
And though  the seeds of change they start to call your name
What'll it take boy for you to be a man
What are you fighting for, do you run just 'cause you can?




UNKNOW copyright 2013 N. Miranda

Bored 
Get out of here
When we dance
No one dares
Summer's gone
From this place
Do not stay 
Come seek your grace

I said go
Be on your way
Though these arms cry
Walk away

 I 
Will follow you
Dig my own tracks
In search of truth
And try to forget
To unknow
Such sweet regret

I said go
Be on your way
Though this heart cries
Walk away

And we'll ride
Out of here
Cause no one knows 
Just where I've been
And try to forget 
To unknow
Such sweet regret


I said go
Be on your way
Though this heart cries
Walk away




Unknow

ORDINARY COLOURS copyright 2015 N. Miranda

Hear me out before you walk out
Don't be who you are, don't be proud
Frowning angel,
You're not listening
Only reaching for the next thing

How can we be here again I'm sorry
I thought that you'd want more than these ordinary....

Stand before you, fall to pieces
Tell you what I think? Its useless
I see nothing, only darkness
 Lying through your teeth, the clock ticks….

How can we be here in spite of all these tears I cry
Diluting ordinary colours 

Tie you over
Drag me under
I see nothing of who you were
Skeletons and paper armor
Wake me up when this is over

How can we be here again 
I'm sorry
I thought that you'd want more than these ordinary......
Thought that you were out of it forever
This time your God's become these ordinary....
Colours

How can we be here again 
I'm sorry
I thought that you'd want more than these ordinary......
Help me now for I'm not strong 
You know I did best to swim against these ordinary 
Colours


Ordinary Colours (feat. Tim Booth From 'James')

One Way Lie-copyright 2013 N. Miranda

High pitched wake up, a two tonne shake up, you catch me by surprise
What I find dear boy is that I never knew you at all.
You turn my white to black like a heart attack
I try not to fall apart
But the truth of the matter is
A broken heart

You know my heart starts trembling babe when I think of it
And all the times you could have let me know
Keep it to yourself  honey thats no lie
You know my heart starts trembling babe when I think of it
And all the times you could have let me go
Keep it to yourself  this one way lie

Been stripped of a heaven that once was a given I'm broken by this ride
But I ain't showing the world, I got far too much pride
And so I wake up, make up, slap on a smile, boy you'll never see me cry
Because the truth of the matter is, you're just some guy


You know my heart starts trembling babe when I think of it
And all the times you could have let me know
Keep it to yourself honey that's no lie
You know my heart starts trembling babe when I think of it
And all the times you could have let me go
Keep it to yourself 
This one way lie


One Way Lie

DARLING copyright 2014 N. Miranda

With all the love in the world we couldn't make it work
With all the love in the world, we couldn't make it worse
Though we tried to believe we never seemed to learn
With stars in our eyes no one could foresee us getting burned
We shot arrows in the sky hoping we wouldn't get hurt
But the truth of the matter is said and done
The truth of the matter is no one won my love

Daring darling can't you see the light?
With your back turned to the sun I'm not surprised
Daring darling can't you see the light?
With your back turned on our love you're black as night

When the black cats crawled out we laughed at the thought of bad luck
We danced under ladders, two diamonds both caught in the rough
But the truth of the matter is we both ran, far from the love we could have shared my love

Daring darling can't you see the light?
With your back turned to the sun I'm not surprised
Daring darling can't you see the light?
With your back turned on our love you're black as night

Je t'aime mon amour
Pour toujours mon amour
Je suis incomplete sans toi
Et on est fait l'un pour l'autre
C;est pour toujours mon amour
C'est pour toujours....

Daring darling can't you see the light?
With your back turned to the sun I'm not surprised
Daring darling can't you see the light?
With your back turned on our love you're black as night

You listen to voices in your head
Tearing me up for all the things I should have said
Taking me down for all the reasons we both know
Sooner or later you will find out what it’s cost
Taking me out for all the things I could have
Out for all the things I should have 
Out for all the reasons we both know

I just wanted to tell you
That I didn't leave you
Because I didn't love you

Get Up - https://nadeahmusic.bandcamp.com/ for full album

She stands before you naked though you do not see
She’s telling you her only truth
Outside a villain takes a bow, they all applaud
While I fall out of love

Grey clouds go rushing past my windows
They whisper secrets in a language I don't speak
Heaven helps the souls who live for love or so they say
While I fall out of love

Didn't you walk away, didn't you walk away
Wasn't it said and done? Wasn't it said and done?
Three little pigs, look at them fly, 
Head over heels in the back of my mind
And no matter what I’ll always be in love

I hear the sound of tempests howling
Upstairs the floors are bleeding tears
‘Not long until we’ll see the sun’ is all you say
And I fall back in love

Didn't you walk away, didn't you walk away
Wasn't it said and done? Wasn't it said and done?
Three little pigs, look at them fly, 
Head over heels in the back of my mind
And no matter what I’ll always be in love

Out Of Love

Wonder how many days it takes to mend a broken heart?
And how many songs I'll write while you just keep me in the dark
Here we are now, fade to grey 
How many tears must I shed before the well is dry?
Ears are few and far between and there is no reply
Here we are now, I fade to grey
And here you are now, stumbling again

All the cigarettes I've burned obliterating you
How many prayers until I get a better point of view?
Here we are now, they fade to grey
Here you are now, stumbling again

Would you walk on this road I'm taking for I don't want to walk alone?

How many minutes will I waste living in the past?
All the things I could’ve, would’ve, should've said, at last
Here we are now, they fade to grey
How many years will it be until you realise?
Open up your eyes and see the love that you denied
Here we are now, I fade to grey
Here you are now, stumbling again
Would you walk on this road I'm taking for I don't want to walk alone?

Here we are now
We're stumbling again
Here we are now
We're stumbling again
Here we are now
We're stumbling again
Here we are now
We're stumbling again

Stumbling

I can no longer hold the walls of this steeple
Where nobody ever tells it like it is
And I can no longer walk between those white lines
Because I can’t quite understand what white lines are doing here

I'm not intentionally a rebel
I just don't understand how it goes
And even if I did 
Don’t expect that I'd follow
But I would gladly give up these opinions 
For a charcoal diagram of love

I can no longer dance the steps they’ve taught me
They’re far too pretty and this tired routine, it blows
And after all these years I still don’t know 
What is love what’s need and what’s just greed
Hello?

I am not looking for a way to be contentious
I’m not trying to take a stand
I'm just living the best I can
But I would gladly give up this religion
For a charcoal diagram of love

I’m not one for longterm introspection
Navel gazing I’ve done enough of
But for all the searching and aching and breaking and raking up of the past 
I can’t say that I’ve find out, anything so bad
But I would gladly give up all this wisdom
For a charcoal diagram of love

LIVES ON THE RUN -(Sigla Vite in Fuga)

Renowned for her genre-hopping irreverence and mesmerising stage presence, the Australian songstress Nadeah Miranda has supported artists as diverse as Tame Impala, Nick Cave, Franz Ferdinand, Mick Jones (The Clash), The Do, Damian Rice, Yodelice, Charlie Winston and James and has worked with various producers including Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey, Bat for Lashes ), Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague), Tommy D (Catatonia, Right Said  and Grammy award winning classical composer Nicola Tescari.

“I like all kinds of music - hip, hop, country, folk, psychedelic, metal, dark wave, electro, classical. I don’t see why artists should have to limit themselves to playing one style. We are of the playlist-making, Spotify-wielding,shuffle-friendly generation so I think it’s rather outdated to expect a solo artist to explore only one style of music.On a personal level, I’d get bored out of my brain if I had to play 20 versions of pretty much the same song in the same genre every night. I know it’s not as marketable but it’s a lot more fun and as a punk at heart, I have little desired to be locked into anything be it a genre, a relationship, a country  - freedom of expression is what music and art is about and style-hopping is a fundamental liberty.

She usually lives between Paris, France and Melbourne, Australia but is currently held in hostage in a suburb of Melbourne by the Australian government. It’s a covid thing.
