Lyrics

Rain Rain Rain 
keeps coming down
the summers hiding behind one grey cloud

Rain rain rain 
on my heart
but it keeps on shining up above ,...

CHORUS
You you're out there somewhere
Sitting under an umbrella
It's raining cats and dogs 
and I’m out here skipping stones
oh come find me..

Sing sing sing
Till you bring bring bring
Those blue skies back

Give give give
Till you live live live
Like the worlds on fire 
and the rain rain rain can put it out
chorus

CHORUS
You you're out there somewhere
Sitting under your umbrella
It's raining cats and dogs 
and I’m out here skipping stones
oh come find me..

Rain rain rain
You can pour and run
You can pool and puddle 
You can fill me up.

RAIN RAIN RAIN

Rain, Rain, Rain

Song for the musical
Break-Up Diet

There's a cat stuck
In a tree
If I save it
will it scratch me
There's a fear
There's a sword
If I swing it
Ill need conviction
Hey.....
There's a knocking
Way down deep
If she comes up
Will she help me.

Will she help me
Bring him down
Will she scream and shout
Force him out. 
Hey

Because I'm a fire 
I'm a beating wing 
You're going to miss me.
You're going to miss me.

LYRICS. 
STILL HERE. 
You didn’t mean it but your mean to me 
I meant to say it cause I’m hurt. 
We’re darning holes but we wear no clothing. 
We’re darning holes 
But were we’re still smiling 
we’re still trying to find our way 
trying to find our way 
and were still laughing 
We’re still trying to find our way. 
Trying to find our way. 

There is a signal but I don’t quite catch it 
I sit alone in my head 
I throw you hope but you don’t quite catch it 
I throw out hope. 
But were we’re still living. 
We’re still trying to find our way 
Trying to find our way 
and we’re still loving, 
We’re still trying to find our way back home. 

And I can’t see the end of this road that’s you’re walking on. 

But were we’re still fighting 
we still trying to find our way 
and were still crying 
we’re still trying to find our way. 
we’re we’re still giving 
we still trying to find our way 
and were still smiling 
were still trying to find our way back to you. 


No ones, no ones perfect its going to require some work 
No ones, no ones perfect its going to require some work from everyone.

Lyrics.

You took me by the hand and
Walked me down my road
Told me all about the houses.
It’s in my nature
It’s in the way I walk
I tried to keep up and then I tripped.

Lambs are pretty 
Submarines they sometimes sink
Giants live in giant houses
Puppies like to play and some geese fly away
I should make some better choices.

Days turn into months and you can’t make a choice 
So I made lemonade and drank it.
There are spiders where the web should be 
I don’t think that I can solve this.

Lambs are pretty 
Submarines they sometimes sink
Giants live in giant houses
Puppies like to play and some geese fly away
I should make some better choices.

Are you a vulture or a crow.
Are you a white fox in the snow.

I lay in your house and hid just like the mice 
That crawl around you in your basement
And I just found a wolf and she’s sitting in my mouth
And she likes howling at the sun.

Days and lovers and monkeys in the tree’s 
I’ll take a coffee in the morning
If you’re streaming this well
I hope you sing along because
We know you got this for free.

Are you a vulture or a crow.
Are you a white fox in the snow.
Are you a hornet or a bee
And are you ready to be seen.

White Fox

Lyrics

I know you didn't sign up for this
I know you’re tired and you cant see the end
I know that everyday
Is a bad day, and you’re spent
So this is the only way that I can say Thank You
Thank You for getting up, Thanks for suiting up
Thanks for being there each day
And thank You, For walking down corridors 
That feel like they will never end

I know that I’m safe at home 
But I feel anxious and I feel scared
But I don't have to see each day
Things that may never go away
And I know it's not fare
So this is the only way that I can say Thank You
Thank You for getting up, Thanks for suiting up
Thanks for being there each day
And Thank You, For walking down corridors 
That feel like they will never end

Thank you for holding hands
Thank you for listening
Thank you for risking
Thank You for getting up, Thanks for suiting up
Thanks for not giving up
And Thank You, For walking down corridors 
That feel like they will never end

Thank you for being there.
Thank You

THANK YOU

2020 STARTING JULY ONE SINGLE A MONTH. 
Tamara Williamson has been a mainstay in the Toronto music scene since the early 90’s. She released 3 albums with her band Mrs. Torrance on the major label BMG. Mrs. Torrance toured extensively in Canada opening for such acts as Oasis, The Beautiful South, Talk Talk, and Jewel. They toured with bands such as The Crash Test Dummies, The Pursuit of Happiness, The Waltons, The Rheostatics, Hayden and King Cobb Steelie.  Mrs. Torrance were pushed to radio with their single “Porn” and were on Much Music rotation. 
In 2000 Mrs. Torrance disbanded and Tamara started a solo career. Her music is ethereal and sensitive. Using many effects and layers she was one of the first artists to start live looping and was known for her experimentation using both vocal effects and looping. Tamara was featured in The New Music Show in 2000 and her first independent single went into rotation on MUCH Music. Her first recording “Nightmare on Queen Street” was very well received and Tamara played at many folk festivals such as Hillside, The Regina Folk Festival, and NXNE. She also went down the West Coast touring with Bob Wiseman and Matt Nathensen.
In 2003 Tamara was voted fourth best concert of the year by NOW magazine ahead of Greenday, and behind Bjork.
Tamara is the only voice until this year to be recorded on a Do Make Say Think album. She also fronted the trip hop band Microbunny, which won the CBC new band search in 2002. 
In 2006 Tamara signed to a French label and toured France extensively as part of “Le Femme S’en Mêlent” tour. She played alongside Feist and Shannon Wright. She was interviewed and recorded live to French National Radio. She also played shows in Spain and Italy.
From 2007 until 2016 Tamara has released four albums and toured in Canada and France. In 2015 Tamara started focusing on playing smaller more intimate festivals and venues such as house concerts. 
Tamara was recently featured in the Globe and Mail Broadsheet, an end of year collection of songs written about 2014. Tamara’s song “The Next One” is about women coming forward to speak out about their experiences of sexual harassment and violence and was recorded with the band Absolutely Free. This song was released on a compilation put out by the label Arts and Crafts. Her latest album “Sister Mother Daughter Wife” pays homage to women survivors from around the world. 
Tamara is a member of the Canadian Alternative Cover band AVRO,  and recently started a ukelele duo project, CROW, with the amazing songwriter Patty Ewaschuk.
Tamara lives in Uxbridge with her son Angus where she has a business creating music for dressage horses. She also paints and has recently commissioned her paintings to The True North Records/Gallery.

Letters of Recommendation....

"In Toronto in the late 1990’s there was an intelligent, unassuming, earnest musical force that cut right to my heart. Tamara Williamson was no small influence on me and I am thrilled and relieved that she’s making music again.” Charles Spearin, Broken Social Scene. 


"I’ve admired Tamara for years; she cut a certain path of determination for me by having musical conviction long before I understood those stakes for myself." Feist

Tamara Williamson
