Verse 1 : 
I’m not your mountain, if you bend me I will break
I’m not a carpet you can walk upon
You call this love but then you take and take and take
But I keep hanging on

I’m not your savior, don’t you bow your head to pray
I’m not your fool, no not no more
You left an awful lot of ruin in your wake
But I keep hanging on

Chorus : 
‘Cause even so, I wanna be your everything
Bend over backwards just to give you anything
I touch the fire, I get burned, burned, burned
Oh I hurt, but I don’t learn, learn, learn

‘Cause even so, I always push myself aside
For you I’d hang up on a cross, you’d let me die
I touch the fire, I get burned, burned, burned
Oh, I hurt, but I don’t learn, learn, learn

Verse 2 : 
I’m not your mountain or your mother, goodness sake
But I was taught to never leave
They say we all lie in the broken beds we make
Oh I can’t be free

Chorus

Burned

Verse 1 : 
There she sits upon her bed								
Waging wars within her head								
Mama’s in the living room, slams the door						
Every day like, every day just like the ones before					

Marks she hides beneath her clothes							
Scars too deep to even show								
Mama’s got a temper and her daddy’s gone						
She packs a bag, a pack of cigarettes and leaves at dawn				

Chorus 1 :
Her mama liked to gamble cards							
Her daddy played the steel guitar							
She married as a child sixteen							

Verse 2 :
There she stands above a crib							
Baby’s crying, won’t be still								
Husband’s in the kitchen drinking whisky straight					
She’s got 50 bucks beneath the mattress						
To get out of this place

Her lover told her where to meet							
9:00 on Fletcher Street								
But she won’t leave her baby so she cries instead					
Every minute of the story plays inside her head					

Chorus 2 :
Her mama never learned to love							
Her daddy left when things got tough							
She’s trying but it’s not enough, no no no

Aline

Verse 1 : 
What’s the use of talking about it								
Your mind is made up love									
If you are the judge, I’ll sit here for judgement						 
Go on and call my bluff									

I built up a statue of you in my mind standing high						
I watched as it weathered and worn out and wasted in time					

Chorus : 
Have you had enough, baby now								
Can we let this go, honey I’m	  								
Tired of going round and round and round							

Verse 2 : 
So I’ll put on a laugh for fear of my weeping again						
Our tragic love tells like a story and I know how it ends					

Chorus 2 : 
Have you had enough, baby now								
Can we let this go, honey I’m									
Tired of going round and round and round							
Aren’t you getting tired, baby now								
Can’t we say goodbye									
Before the blaming starts									
Goes round and round and round

Round & Round

Verse 1 : 
The floor moves beneath us to the beat of the kick				
Sound reverberating from the amp to the brick				
And the smell of smoke in my clothes and hair				
Your hand hits the bass line and the rhythm goes on			
And I think I’m in love, think I belong						
And I hear the old train go down by Evangeline				

Chorus : 
And I see smoke clouds in the air						

Verse 2 : 
The room is made of dancing and the sound of the bass			
Magic, only magic that we know how to make				
We’re singing like a choir in the city church					
Trying to find some truth in the chords and the words			
And we chase them down and clutch our hands around			-

Chorus : 
But they are smoke clouds in the air						

Bridge:
The harmonies are thirds and fifths						
Hanging on the minor like we’d hang from a cliff				
It’s all a show, it’s all a show							
My eyes are closed or looking at you						
In the midst of the crowded room						
And when we melt together							

Chorus : 
We are smoke clouds in the air

Smoke Clouds

Verse 1 : 
Come on baby, swing that dress a little closer to me										
Don’t you tease me, not this time									
I just wanna hold you in my arms tonight								
Hold you in my arms tonight										

The shadows danced beneath the yellow light of stars and street lamps				
We were laughing in the rain										
I just wanna feel your hand in mine again								
Feel your hand in mine again										

Chorus 1 : 
I can’t love a ghost and I can’t hold you when you’re gone						
I won’t wait forever babe, I’ve waited all along							
All along												

Verse 2 : 
All these miles and all the weight of all the world upon me						
Your voice is breaking on the line									
Almost right and almost time, I’ve almost found a way to						
Hold you in my arms tonight										
Hold you in my arms tonight										

Chorus 2 :
I can’t love a ghost and I can’t hold a missing man							 
I won’t wait forever, but I’ll wait long as I can								
As I can

Chorus 3 :
If you are a ghost then you will haunt me til I die							
I won’t wait forever, but I promise you I’ll try								
I will try

Heal in Time

Time we Chase

Picture Box

Well there was something ‘bout the way that you were
Talking ‘bout the days when you were
Playing with the band behind you
The family man was yet to come
Be singing songs on Friday night until the morning
Always dreamed that you would move to Nashville
You settled down in your hometown

Would you give this all back to find it
The dream you lost 
Would you give this all back to find it

You told me if there is a will, there is a way, there is a wanting
Maybe we could quit our jobs and take this out
Onto the road, it’s hard to know
If you’ll regret when you haven’t even said it
Always begging for the wisdom in the hindsight that we’re chasing
Tell me, oh

Would you give this all back to find it
The dream you lost 
Would you give this all back to find it

Hindsight hits you like a blindside
I think it’s time to jump

Would you give this all back to find it
The dream you lost 
Would you give this all back to find it

«UN GROUPE QUI MAÎTRISE PARFAITEMENT SA GRAMMAIRE DE
L’AMERICANA, DES COMPOS QUI SONNENT COMME DES BILLETS SANS
RETOUR POUR UNE RURALITÉ FANTASMÉE DES PAYSAGES NORD
AMÉRICAINS »  Marion Guilbaud - France Inter


Son enfance, la chanteuse Rachel BAUM la passe aux Etats-Unis à Lafayette. Issue d’une famille de musiciens, elle baigne dans la diversité culturelle dès son plus jeune âge.

Installée en France depuis 2015, elle s ’entoure d’une solide équipe artistique pour former The Amber Day. Après un 1er EP en 2021 plébiscité par la critique, le groupe sort en 2023 « Our Stories », 13 titres réunis comme une sorte d’album de famille composé d’histoires d’enfance sur
fond de sonorités folk/pop. La chanteuse à la voix si singulière, y évoque des souvenirs de sa
Louisiane natale, rend hommage à ses grands-parents et confie sa quête d’épanouissement personnel. En parcourant chaque titre, on se rend compte que cette tâche n’est pas aisée pour une jeune femme dont les racines se trouvent à plus de 3 000 km d’ici.

Soutenue par plusieurs salles de musiques actuelles en Nouvelle Aquitaine, (Le Confort Moderne, le Camji, Diff’art ) et souvent comparé aux excellents Cats on Trees avec lesquels il ont partagé quelques scènes , The Amber Day séduit avant d’éblouir grâce à la grande qualité de
ses musiques tendres et énergiques , mais aussi grâce à une maîtrise parfaite de la scène durant des premières parties remarquées de Louise At taque, Talisco ou bien encore Ko Ko Mo.
