If Tori Amos and Alela Diane would be one person this would be her song! 

U should do a cover of ‘wuthering heights’. Ur vocals are perfect for it

wonderful intro.  that voice is incredible.  joanna newsome meets Kate Bush.  love it

any chance to read the lyrics? The way you pronounced "alone" reminds of the way Germans pronounce "Hallo", so pleeease :)"

great and special set at end of the road  looking forward to bigger things

Lyrics:

You looked small in your coat, one hand up on the window,
so long now you’d been lost in thought.
No snow on the road – we’d been lucky,
and it looked like we would be well past Orléans
and past Montmagny, the road giving way to river
the frozen Saint Lawrence white and blue.
We went out on the ice, and I turned back to you, a figure
distant and small in the long view.

Was it a look in your eye? I wasn’t sure.
The way it is and the way it could be – both are.
We got back in the car.

You always tell me the truth, 
even when it hurts me or it hurts you.
Could you go a little easy – would it kill you?
Living out the dream, out on the road now for a couple weeks.
So intimate with all that we had wanted.
All that we hoped for and all that we dreamed – 
the way it is and the way it could be.

But how long is it going to go on?
I’m gonna count on – I’m gonna hold out for nothing much.
A little kindness, a little praise some days.
I get so close, but I don’t really touch –
what I get, or what I need – 
the way it is and the way it could be.

Two brown dogs came out running cross the highway,
panting and low to the ground.
And then they were gone; 
for a moment, I had run them down.
I closed and opened my eyes.
They were running up the hill on the other side.
The way it is and the way it could be – both are.

Lyrics

Love,
You being so cold in love
I be like a broken record
Everybody spoken enough,
Don’t you miss your man in enough
I be like so young and tough
I be like so taut inside
I be just on fire inside
Baby please don’t go

I will be your broken record
Wont you be my, broken record

Love I’m being so god and tough
I be like so dumb and stuff
You be like choking on muff
I’m the insult - your man ender
I, being so hard in love
Play me like a broken record
You be like oh God enough
Don’t Go

I will be your broken record
Wont you be my, broken record

Love,
You being so cold in love
I be like a broken record
Everybody spoken enough,
You just missed your man in love
I be like so young and tough
I be like so taut inside
I be just on fire inside
Baby please don’t go

I will be your broken record
Wont you be my broken record
I will be your broken record
Wont you be my broken record

Broken Record

Andrew Bird - Tenuousness live In The Basement

Jesca Hoop unveils her brand-new single “Red White and Black” taken from her forthcoming album STONECHILD. Order STONECHILD here : http://smarturl.it/stonechild

Having previously shared the Lucius featuring track “Shoulder Charge”, Red White and Black is perhaps the most overtly political track on the album, as Hoop explains: 
 
“Red White and Black is a poem, like a snapshot, set in post civil war USA when slavery was "abolished" and swiftly rebranded by the prison system.  It’s a personal acknowledgement and willingness to join the conversation for change.”

She continues “I write from personal perspective, about relationships mostly and I don’t find much music in politics, but as hate crimes increase, women’s rights are being rolled back, and the two nations I call home are building walls… well, the political has become deeply personal.”

Produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, This Is The Kit), STONECHILD was recorded in Hoop’s long time home Manchester – a first, given previously she’s ventured back to her native California to record.  Parish’s minimal and purist approach helped clarify Hoop in her ideas subtly yet effectively realigning her sound. The simplified arrangements draw focus to the fundamental sophistication of the songs.

The album title was settled after a trip to a Philadelphia’s Mütter Museum, where the Stonechild is a sad, compelling display of an unborn foetus carried by a woman for over 30 years. “They become a hard ball of bones, a rock. Phonetically, it's a beautiful sounding word - hard and soft – but also, I am taken by the idea of carrying something for a long time, perhaps in secret and then giving it up. I hope I have made an album of substance. There is meat on the bone” 

While Hoop’s trademark finger-plucked guitar and ethereal textures remain, the songs and their presentation are ever more direct. “He – Parrish - was a gentle collaborator until he killed one of my darlings” Hoop jests. “I’ve never been so brutally edited, and I wasn’t shy about expressing my discomfort at the sight of my work on the cutting room floor. He said, you will forgive me, and in some way I think I actually enjoyed that treatment…being stripped back to the bare basics…albeit painfully.  ‘Stonechild’ ventures further into fresh territory with other voices joining the narrative, with Kate Stables (aka This is the Kit) Rozi Plain and Lucius singing the choruses and expanding the sensual depth of the sonic bloom.

These rich and curious songs derived from themes of our troubled times speak Hoop’s heart and mind from her empathetic yet tough loving centre point. With writing so fluid, so natural the result is an album where everything is truly meant.
