LYRICS:

I took the liberty of writing this
In full knowledge of the consequence
The only reason I'm pursuing this
Is my conception of happiness

And though you may have already seen it
I'm so grateful
To learn that, in loving to the fullest,
I am capable

So...

Let me write you a dissertation
On all the treasure we find
Anything so very worth having
Produces weight on one's mind

I want the chance to be exploring this
This love, good and palpable
I await the words that would escape your lips
Rendering all this possible..

Let me write you a dissertation
On all the treasures we find
Anything so very worth having
Produces weight on one's mind

Baby.... Tell me what you want me to do..
I won't make no claim to you
If you really don't want me to..
But what I will do:

I will write you a dissertation
On all the treasures we find
Anything so very worth having
Produces weight on one's mind



Written, performed & sung by Rachel Claudio


Dissertation

Written, composed, performed & produced by CLAUDIO
Engineered by Mark McEwan
Mastered by John Greenham

LYRICS:

I used to be your safe place
I used to be your favourite sanctuary
Don't know what you were running from
But now you're running from me...

You used to see on my face
The keeper of your heart space - honorary -
I know we went to hell & back but 
Don't you remember me?

CHORUS:

You're the deepest part of me
So you trigger my anxiety
I realise it's the same for you
You feel it too
I can't believe
No, I can't believe I'm losing you... 

And it startles me
I'm beaten by the irony 
The more & more I feel for you
The scars will do the speaking for me
Can't believe
No, I can't believe I'm losing you..

[One day at a time]
[One day at a time]
[I'm not ready...] 
[Any day now... ]

To show you that I wanted you
It may be that I squeezed the life out of you
It was all that I knew how to do 
To soothe the terror of Losing You
It was all that I knew how to do
To remove the error of Losing You... 

CHORUS:

You're the deepest part of me
So you trigger my anxiety
I realise it's the same for you
You feel it too
I can't believe
No, I can't believe I'm losing you... 

And it startles me
I'm beaten by the irony 
The more & more I feel for you
The scars will do the speaking for me
Can't believe
No, I can't believe I'm losing you..

[One day at a time]
[One day at a time]
[I'm not ready...] 
[Any day now... ]

THRILL OF THE GAME
Written, performed & produced by Rachel Claudio
Guitar : Sebastien Houot
Organic Bass : Gwen Ladeux

No one, nobody can rock me
I seek not to ruin your path
Come one, come many,
Come rob me
And I watch this fortune last

It's written over your face
Run to base
Whatever gives you safety
In this dangerous place
I give chase
Don't need no one to save me...

All for the Thrill of the Game
You don't fall down
You keep your body moving...

And it's all for the Thrill of the Game
Your shrouded crown
You do it for the feeling....

No one, nobody can rock me
In my sense of what is right
Come one, come many
Come stop me
I'll be doing this shit for life

If that was all that you gained
I would say,
"This world can be deceiving"
For all the joy and the pain
Find a way
To sanctify the meaning....

All for the Thrill of the Game
You don't fall down
You keep your body moving...

And it's all for the Thrill of the Game
Your shrouded crown
You do it for the feeling....

This is what I mean when I say, "It thrills me" -
Focus on all but the groove removed he
With a spoon of fine silver he moved to feed me,
Mildly familiar, he swooned but did move me not..

Eyes - open, wide
In the jungle, we're humbled by struggle, [re]moralized
I'm coming in with the tide
I rise high
Let the water engulf all your troubles thereby but drown you not..

Don't you know that we got your back...?
Keeping it afloat when the radio is whack
Until the cloak falls and crap fades to black

This is what I mean when I say, "It won't hold" -
The weight of your faith is the equivalent to gold
Beauty & Truth be one in the same
How am I gonna explain that it's -

All for the Thrill of the Game
You don't fall down
You keep your body moving...

And it's all for the Thrill of the Game
Your shrouded crown
You do it for the feeling...

Track 1:

BE BRAVE (BLOW MY MIND: Part II)
Written, performed & produced by Rachel Claudio
Contains elements of "Blow My Mind" from the album Claudiography (2011)

Hold on
Be brave
We've got means to see through this

Why don't
You stay?
The light's on & I'll prove it

No fault
Today
On my faith we gon' move it

My word
My god
Trembling hands say I mean it

Now we're not guilty for having wanted it better but
Did we deem ourselves worthy?
I'm feeling
A little stronger

Now
Who cares?
I do
Long after there's no more meaning

Now, my love
Don't be shy
No one here's gonna judge you

And if we're made in the likeness of his image
No one here's gonna harm you
'Cause you've gone & blown my mind
(Over & over & over & over & over & over)
I wonder if this thing will slide in our favor....

'Cause you've gone & blown my mind
(Over & over & over & over & over & over)
I wonder if this thing will slide in our favor....

Hope y'all dig it anyway..
Had a freakin' ball making it !
Props to the magnificence of that incredible being Sia.. <3





Elastic Heart by Sia - (RC's Healing Heart Version)

"Hey Ya" is so very obviously written & produced by André 3000 

This flip is an Ableton Live version performed on an APC40, a TC Helicon VoiceLive PlayGTX & a Nord Lead. It has little to do with the original tune but for it's Flipper's unending obsession with it's lyrical sentiment. 

Available for download at https://rachelclaudio.bandcamp.com/
