Prompt: High Wall

the rain's pouring down
on this darkest night
and i'm thinking back to when
nothing was right

felt like i'd sold my soul to the 
devil himself and i didn't know
felt like i was digging a grave
'gainst this high wall

i didn't know what i had gotten myself into
and none of my pride has kicked in
little intuition, too
but everybody kept telling me
"don't overthink it, baby"

oh, you were so charming
so everything at the beginning
you had such a charming smile
you were a little rough, little rough & tumble

but i should've seen those eyes 
were dancing with fire in your soul
oh, an anger that you just couldn't quench
with anything lovable
no, nothing lovable

and i wasn't sure what i would do
getting in cahoots with you
felt my soul was starting to,
starting to feel something new

oh, i could feel that ancient beast
that i thought that i'd laid deep 
oh, your malice and your anger worst
waking the beast within me

well, i had to find my way to climb
and scale that high wall to be free
'cuz i knew, oh i knew, oh i knew, oh i knew
that you would be the death of me

and thank God that i found a way
to get out
that high wall got knocked down and
was liberation - 
kingdom come

High Wall

THE ROAD

the hay hung low
where the road leads I will go
and it’s a hard and a crooked life
when you’re a dead man’s unwedded bride

the hay moves slow
where the road leads no one knows
and it’s a hard and a crooked life
when you’re a dead man’s unwedded bride

down by the road sits a man
who’s gray and old
says the hardest thing I know
is to see your loved ones go

down goes the road
where the wildflowers grow
there’s a lake that’s dark deep and cold
there I shall lay my bones

down I go
gonna lay my bruised bones
and the hardest thing they’ll know
is just letting go

Review of "Things Worth Keeping"
August 2009

With a voice angelic as it is weather beaten, Austin, Texas’ Aly Tadros sounds distinctively romantic, sultry and motherly all at once on Things Worth Keeping. Her earthy delivery, along with soulful vocal timbre, lends a soothing vibe to the whole. Just to be clear, the album isn’t totally a laid back affair. Tadros can be witchy and dole out attitude with memorable results. She tempts just as she enthralls, and her throaty, heady vocals do anything but belie the strength in her voice.
 
Tadros can sound like Jewel without the contrivance and gimmicks. She has the maturity of Bonnie Raitt and the growl of Chrissie Hynde. Comparisons aside, you get the idea of what Tadros sounds a little like. She can remind you of a lot of singers, but barely, it’s merely coincidence. What resonates about Tadros’ vocals is that they sound fresh, sound genuine and from the gut. She sounds like a woman self aware and in control. 

The songs on Things Worth Keeping are more stated than those crafted richly with catchy pop hooks. Tadros tells stories with slinky, cool craftsmanship centering around strong acoustic rhythms and her elegantly worn voice. There’s acid-tongue strength in ‘But a Memory’ and philosophical reflection on ‘Swingset’ in which she sings “Why waste time worrying about playing it safe/when we could give in to gravity and get carried away.” Additional musical flavors come from Ben Sollee’s cello on ‘Keep Up’ and the border-tinged ‘Dressing Room.’ But the ballad ‘One More Day’ is an album stronghold, sweet and soulful, and graced with Justin Craig’s keys. But it’s the brutal open-honesty of ‘Names We Forget’ that stands out the most. Things Worth Keeping simply highlights a performer with much to say and the grace to tell it indifferently.
