Empty World Ft. Fuzzbee Morse

This is my fourth solo album.  "I'll Turn It On', was a commissioned piece for an exhibit at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, about the struggle of the Zuccaro brothers, a pair of struggling artists in the Renaissance era. Another song, "Heartbeat On The Radio", was inspired by an episode of the "All Time Top Ten" podcast in which the topic was "songs about radio". Check out the "Barbarella" inspired music video on YouTube!

Only Love

This song is about the frustration of trying to make it in L.A.

How Long

AS A HUGE FAN of Kirsty MacColl, I thought it would be fun to cover "Fairytale Of New York" by The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl. Good friend and fellow MacColl fan Brandon Schott volunteered to sing on what is surely the most charming, sad, funny, and touching Christmas drinking song of all time. We changed a few of the words but it is still pretty explicit so use discretion when playing this song, as it might not be suitable for some.. BUT we hope you love it! For a limited time, we are giving it away for FREE on bandcamp.

Enjoy!

~Shannon :) 

LYRICS
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old bird on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy braggart
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day

As heard on Y & R (April 2nd 2020)



I Just Wish You’d Look At Me That Way

[Verse 1]
I never really had a chance with you
You say hello and then I fade from view      
Your attention quickly moves
To her face
I’m in bed by 10 alone
With my thoughts, the ones you’ll never know
Try to fall asleep, the only real escape 

Your eyes on her are more than I can take
If I tried what difference would it make
I want you but you don’t feel the same
I just wish you’d look at me that way

There’s a fate I live and breathe
Often noticed but never seen 
Our encounters always brief    
Just okay                         
I’m an extra on the set 
Not the star, the one the hero gets
Pigeon-holed into a role I’ll always play

Your eyes on her are more than I can take
If I tried what difference would it make
I want you but you don’t feel the same
I just wish you’d look at me that way


What is the reason for mutual attraction?
OK I get it, we have no control
How can there be such a one way reaction?
I still have my pride, but this gets really old

[Chorus]

Lyrics by Shannon Hurley

I want freedom in this world that I know 
But it’s hard to let go 
It’s hard to let go 
I’ve been bleeding but my courage is strong 
The pain doesn’t show 
Yeah the pain never shows 
And I’m tied to the track 
To the trail 
That leads me back 
And tied to my faith 

In the shadows 
All I see is light 
All I need is a little hope 
All I see is light (2x) 

I cross the river, confronting every fear 
I am stronger just for standing here 
I will stay here and prove that I care for you this way 
I’ll hold my head up, and light up the night and with the 
First light of day 
I will learn to find my way 
And every step that I take 

CHORUS 

I’ll hold on tight on stand my ground 
Nothing else can keep me down 

CHORUS

The Light

New song alert! "Am I In This Love Alone", written by Casey Hurowitz and myself, is out on Patreon​.

Am I In This Love Alone (Preview)

I was introduced to this song last year when Ben (my husband and bass player) included it on his "All Time Top Ten" podcast. The topic was "Songs from Outer Space". 
You can find the episode here: http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/62673

 He played the Carpenter's version. I thought- wow! The Carpenters were pretty trippy. Smash cut to May 2013 and I received a notice for a pitch for TV/Film that a replica of the Carpenter's version of the song was needed. I recorded the chorus in an hour (just in time for the deadline) and it left me intrigued and wanting to record the whole thing. So then I discovered that Klaatu was the original artist, and I sing my praises for this completely awesome tune about communicating with aliens. Now mind you, this is the most elaborate psychedelic progressive rock piece I have ever tackled. But I had a little help from my friends: Nashville's own Steve Cunningham plays the guitar, while Ben plays the bass and contributes the counter vocals and harmonies. 
So here it is: the recognized anthem of World Contact Day. Enjoy.

Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft (The Recognized Anthem of World Contact Day)

(John Woloschuk / Terry Draper)

In your mind you have abilities you know
To telepath messages through the vast unknown
Please close your eyes and concentrate
With every thought you think
Upon the recitation we're about to sing

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft

You've been observing our earth
And we'd like to make a contact with you

We are your friends

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants and interplanetary ultra-emissaries

We've been observing your earth
And one night we'll make a contact with you

We are your friends

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, quite extraordinary craft

Please come in peace we beseech you
Only a landing will teach them
Our earth may never survive
So do come we beg you
Please interstellar policemen
Won't you give us a sign
Give us a sign that we've reached you

With your mind you have ability to form
And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
You close your eyes
You concentrate
Together that's the way
To send the message
We declare World Contact Day

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft

Ahhh

Calling occupants
Calling occupants
Calling occupants
Calling occupants
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft

LYRICS           

In the shadows where we meet again
I get lost in your kiss
How do I stop from going too far
When it feels like this
You’ve got a girl who’s got everything
But she takes you for granted
So let me give you all that I can give
To take away your sadness

I know you’ll never leave her so I’m down
I’m gonna give you my heart
As long as you want me, I will be around
To give you love in the dark
(ohh)

It’s dangerous to be close to you
But I can’t stop
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
Don’t care about the cost
Do I choose fiction or reality?
So sad we have to pretend 
Isn’t obvious to all who see
That we are more than just friends

I know you’ll never leave her so I’m down
I’m gonna give you my heart
As long as you want me, I will be around
To give you love in the dark

I know you’ll never leave her so I’m down
I’m gonna give you my heart
As long as you want me, I will be around
To give you love in the dark
(ohh)

Can’t give it, can’t give it up
This love in the dark 
[repeat 4 times]
