Lady Grinning Soul

Tennis Court Oath's pandemic song. Bleak and beauteous

Who Knew

Our friend Chloe Orwell from The Handcuffs contributes a tasty sax solo on this version. Fun fact: She's also in the other version, popping in with licks here and there!

Lilia Saxomophone Version

All about a cowboy going to shoot a rival but getting struck by lightning in the process. 

Lightning Shot

This song is about finding a voice, being decisive, realizing you aren't everything but you're confident about who you are. There's also a slight give, sort of an 'I know what I yam and that's all that I yam' quality. :-)

I'm Not That One

This is a large and resolute song about bravery in the face of illness. Imagine someone who has no support to back them when they realize they may die soon. In this case, all she has is the moon outside of her hospital window. She relies on it as a companion, a friend in the darkness. The magic of the moon assures her that there is a certain magic guiding her to stay strong and optimistic.
