L Y R I C S

Trains pass along their journey to I don't know where
It's dark outside your window but I know they're there
Old scars run through the city crosstie stitches roar
And while you were asleep came knocking at your door

We left our jars of water sitting on the sill
They rattle through the night just as the railroad will
I feel it through the mattress pulling at my bones
Springs bend but dead wood doesn't and I've wondered

When this house comes down are we still in it
With the notes that you'd tacked on the walls
And when my courage fails would you forgive it
And lend me the pieces that you had collected for yours

The colours of your scenery light then burn then fade
But lined around the edge the pattern never strayed
And I had walked the street and stood the corner, never heard them cry
But now pounding in my chest the cadence of our boxcar lullabies

When the house went down we were still in it
With the notes that you'd tacked on the walls
And when my courage failed you couldn't forgive it
And lend me the pieces that you had collected for yours

Boxcar Lullabies

L Y R I C S

I've been growing every day
Ate my greens just like they say
They took all my toys away
I've been learning to get around

I've gone walking through the night
They called me names, I thought they might
I took the street I thought was right
I've been learning to get around

Going ahead, walking a mile
I gotta go, stayed for a while
My feet are worn, my hands untied 
You wanna be close, come for the ride

I've taught my spine to stand up straight
Let my shoulders bear more weight
Let my womb decide it's fate
I've been learning to stand my ground
I've been learning to get around

I've been growing every day
Ate my greens just like they say
But I remember how to play still
I've been learning to get around

ENGLISH / Rayannah's voice rises in layers, creating soundscapes from scratch. The bilingual artist bends noise into music by running voice, breath, synth and percussion through loop pedals. Underscored by intricate beat-making, her visceral lyrics in French and English rise above it all, offering a glimpse into her experiences both dark and sweet.

FRANÇAIS / La voix singulière de Rayannah résonne en échos et en strates pour créer un tout à partir de rien. Munie de pédales loop, l’artiste bilingue construit des paysages sonores avec sa voix, son souffle, de la percussion et des synthétiseurs. Ses paroles viscérales, transmises en français et en anglais, ouvrent une fenêtre sur son monde intime.
