Xenia Kriisin - Blackout

December is from the album Tide available for pre-order from Butterfly Collectors:

http://www.butterfly-collectors.com/tide

December is written and lead by multi-instrumentalist, Jeff Smith. Thus, it marks a stylistic departure from the band’s orchestral origins, featuring a minimalistic overture that eases into a delicate piano riff in the minor key. 

Layered with ethereal female harmonies including singer/songwriter Milly Hirst, Jeff’s unaffected vocals cut deep into the marrow, sublime in their simplicity. December ascends through the angular drums of latest band member, Alex Mackenzie - whose trip-hop beat accents the trumpet / violin contrapuntal melodies into a maudlin, macabre Mariachi march.


WOODEN ARMS - December


You and I, we make a grand salute
stare at each other like lost little birds across the room
and I remember the way you looked
I learned how to dance, but I'd never shown it to you

my love,
I know I was wrong, but you know that you'll always be
my love
stay for a while while our leaves are still green
please, for me

I know I tried, but it's hard sometimes
the roots don't take, it takes a while
and you pull at the strings
but they're broken, it seems
the dance isn't over for me, no

my love,
I know I was wrong, but you know that you'll always be
my love
stay for a while while our leaves are still green
please, for me


Basia Bulat - Little Waltz

Lyrics :

There ain't nothin' I can do or nothin' I can say
That folks don't criticize me but I'm going to do
Just as I want to anyway
And don't care just what people say

If I should take a notion, to jump into the ocean
Ain't nobody's business if I do
If I go to church on Sunday, then cabaret all day Monday
Ain't nobody's business if I do

If my man ain't got no money and I say, "Take all of mine, honey"
Ain't nobody's business if I do
If I give him my last nickel and it leaves me in a pickle
Ain't nobody's business if I do

Well, I'd rather my man would hit me
Than for him to jump up and quit me
Ain't nobody's business if I do
I swear I won't call no copper, if I'm beat up by my papa
Ain't nobody's business if I do, nobody's business
Ain't nobody's business, nobody's business if I do


Nobody's Business - Mary Coughlan

Este álbum es un viaje honesto a través de la melancolía y la sanación. Desde la confrontación con verdades dolorosas hasta la aceptación de lo que se ha perdido, cada canción es un capítulo en la historia de un alma que busca la paz. A través de la fusión suave, el álbum explora el dolor de los finales, el miedo a la vulnerabilidad y la soledad que a veces acompaña al crecimiento personal.

Pero esta colección de canciones no se queda en la tristeza. Es un testimonio de que, incluso de los momentos más oscuros, pueden nacer la libertad y la esperanza. Con una instrumentación íntima y letras que actúan como poemas, este álbum celebra la resiliencia y la capacidad de transformar el dolor en una nueva melodía. Es una invitación a abrazar la honestidad de lo que somos, a dejar ir lo que no fue, y a encontrar la belleza en las cicatrices que nos quedan.

Me Quedo a Mirar el Rito
