this is a really cool package! lyrics and tune are brilliant and catchy! 

Oooh, this melody line is downright gorgeous, Paula! Damnnnnn! And the BVs sound great!

The tension in this is so good. This would sound fabulous with a bigger band sound. I'm hearing brass in my mind.

There's a cool Brit-pop element to the melody. Reminded me of early Radiohead, when they were good! Well done!

Your melodic gift is unforgettable, I love the arcs and bittersweet jet streams.

Paula this was stunning - or should I say stellar ;) Glad you heeded the more BV call. And second James's comment. This melody and the way you sing it, exquisite delivery of your always-captivating lyrics.

This is a follow-up of sorts from my 2019 offering, "Hold Her for You" (https://soundcloud.com/erinwolf/hold-her-for-you), which was written following the death of my friend, Nick, in October 2019. Grief is a weird and complex companion. 

nine months you've been gone
somehow life keeps moving on
thunder and sun
i can hear one

5-4-3-2-1
that refrains still goes on
i kept my word and i still do
holding her for you
holding her for you

tonight tears run down my face
i can feel your spirit in this place
you don't threaten me
if anything, with you, i find peace
if anything, i find peace

i know that you 
are beyond the veil
that i'm not yet meant to cross

i know that you
you are home

Nine Months In...

"Help Somebody" (#379, 200719)

 * Co-written with Pete & Pat Luboff * 

Ever get a feeling like everything is wrong
Everybody joined the club and you just don't belong
You're cold and lonely on the outside looking in
When it all feels like it's over where do you begin

Help somebody it'll turn your world around
Help somebody get your feet on solid ground
When you're down and out and upside down reach out to someone else
Help somebody and you help yourself
Help somebody and you help yourself

Got a God shaped hole and I can't fix it with food
Can't fill it up with money or drown it in booze
I dreamed someone could love me and make it all okay
Never knew there was a way out 'til I heard somebody say

Help somebody it'll turn your world around
Help somebody get your feet on solid ground
When you're down/out upside/down reach out to someone else
Help somebody and you help yourself
Help somebody and you help yourself

Maybe you think I've got it all together
Don't believe what you think you see
Because we could both get to feelin' better
If you'll help somebody like me

The most special of mentions to my amazing friend Ayelen Molina for making this INSANELY AMAZING artwork. I am OBSESSED with this ❤️

Lyrics:

I haven't done that much since the last time I saw your face.
I fell apart on the road, now there's two versions of myself.
One you'd feel at home with, one you wouldn't recognize
hiding the weight of the world behind my eyes.

And I'm sorry I brought you here out of nowhere
and I said I love you completely out of context.
I'm a crybaby by nature,
please don't act like a stranger.
An astrological mess passing as an entertainer.

And it should be as easy to breathe,
but I can't get no relief.
You haunt me even in the happiest of songs,
and I can't get no grief.
So I fall asleep in this miserable routine
where I say I love you, I cry and repeat...
(and repeat, and repeat)

I haven't done that much since the last time I saw your face.
I tried to work on my issues before I talked about it.
I stopped being pretentious cause I know it'll get me nowhere.
So here it is: I fucked up. I can't make it poetic.

So I'm sorry I brought you here for nothing.
My intentions were good, I hope that counts for something.
I'm a crybaby, by heart I remember your last call
when I heard you laugh, I knew I would give you all.

And it should be as easy to breathe,
but I can't get no relief.
You haunt me even in the happiest of songs,
and I can't get no grief.
So I fall asleep in this miserable routine
where I say I love you, I cry and repeat...
(and repeat, and repeat)

it should be as easy to breathe.


Crybaby

The seventh song from Deconstructed

Solo para ti

Cada que me besa
con esa destreza
sabe cuanto me gusta
su mirada traviesa
Cuando ella me mira
pierdo la cabeza
Baby soy de ti
sólo para ti

You're what I want for me
and I can't go on así
so baby just let me be your man

Ay, you’re the one for me
sabe cuanto me gusta
su mirada traviesa
Ay, tú eres para mí
Baby soy de ti
sólo para ti

You're what I want for me
and I can't go on así
so baby just let me be your man

Solo Para Ti

"All Hat And No Cattle" (#402, 201006)

All hat and no cattle all bark and no bite
If you'd a told me I'd a stayed home tonight
Tried to be patient but I ran outta' luck
I don't seem to be able to give one single fumbling care right now

All bread and no butter all spark and no flame
House keeps on winnin' I'm losin' again
Time marches forward and the later it gits
I just keepin thinkin' how I'm sick of this charade

All mouth and no trousers all balls and no strikes
Guess you done fooled me once more than twice
Here I am lonesome and drunk in a ditch
Can't find my lighter ain't that a big let down

All sizzle no ribeye all work and no play
No steak for my Stetson no A-1 today
Sometimes you're the pigeon and sometimes the truck
But somehow you always seem to get fudge on your hands

Week 41b - All Hat And No Cattle (201006)

Did someone say WE WANT MORE BV?

Lyrics:

My eyes can't seem to see other thing that isn't you.
It's the strangest tunnel vision, don't know what else I could do.
Because I'm running out of fuel to burn
and my heart standstill because it never learned how to let go.
So go buy yourself some tickets, front row for this horror show.

It will shine brighter than any other star
in the sky, it looks like it will never fall apart.
Every single spark will ignite your heart.
I just hope you survive, Supernova.

This void I've been living in doesn't seem such a scary place
if you look at it with a held up high face.
But when it comes to you, I don't know what to say.
I just forget my words when you say your name and I want to
play the spark in your eyes like it's an old VHS tape.

It will shine brighter than any other star
in the sky, it looks like it will never fall apart.
Every single smile will ignite my heart.
I just hope I survive, Supernova.

Please don't let me be stardust alone.
Please don't let this be in my head just for once.

We will shine brighter than any other star
in the sky, it looks like we will never fall apart.
Every single touch will ignite our hearts.
I just hope we survive, Supernova.

Don't let this be in my head just for once.
