Curtain Call

IT'S THE COMBINATION      by Andrea Green

"Like A Ripple"  is from my Heart of The Great Unknown album, produced by Marco Delmar. The album won a Wammie for best contemporary folk album. The song was inspired by an old man named Dal who baked bread and shared his love and kindness with the world.  Dal reminds us that our love and actions create a ripple effect that touch countless lives. The beautiful harmonies are Cletus Kennelly and Pat Quinn. 

LYRIC:
Ripple

His hands bake the bread rising warm on the table
We passed ‘round the plates, held hands and we’d pray
It wasn’t the food that filled up my hunger
It was his kindness that washed it away

Like a ripple going on and on
Like a ripple going on and on

I remember his voice. I can still hear his laughter
Tumbling down through caverns of grace
It wasn’t the lines he spoke with such brilliance
It was his love that filled every space

Like a ripple going on and on
Like a ripple going on and on

BR:
One sweet life
What does it matter?
In this crazy mixed up world
What can one heart do anyway?
The kindness he showed me I share with my children
They’ll give to their children and their children’s children one day



Like a ripple going on and on
Like a ripple going on and on
His life’s a ripple going on and on
SOLO

His hands baked the bread rising warm on the table
He set me a place, said, “Why don’t you stay?”
It isn’t your beauty, your brilliance, your money
What’s left is your love when the rest fades away…

Like a ripple going on and on
Like a ripple going on and on
Your life’s a ripple going on and on and on…

Like A Ripple

Get toasty on a cold night. My lyric says it :)


Build Me A Fire  

I spend every night all by myself, alone
I’ve got this aching kind of shivering 
Moving down in my bones..

Come on and stack some wood
Now strike the match
We’ll sit and watch the smoke rise up the chimney stack

CH:
Build me a fire 
Build it till the flames burn bright (till the flames burn bright)
Come on and build me a fire
Keep your woman warm tonight 

Go on chop me some trees
Bring me some kindling
It’s freezing in here and my bodies trembling

CH

The weatherman says there’s a storm a brewin’
I can feel it in my bones
But you'll look nice draped in firelight 
Stir up the coals
We’ll let them burn, let ‘em. Let ‘em burn real slow…

Solos

The wind is whippin’
I’m starting to shiver
You got a quart of wood
Babe now it’s time to deliver

CHORUS

I got some sweet hot chocolate
Marshmallows too 
There’s a little Swiss Miss
Just waiting here for you

CHORUS

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

My new song "Heal Out Loud," reminds us to reach out and speak about what is in our hearts with people we can trust. Sometimes we feel ashamed or alone in our pain or our addictions. There is a movement in the US to stop the stigma around our mental health needs.  An inspired effort to help people get the support they deserve.  Together we can heal out loud. This song (and upcoming music video)were made in support of the #stopstigmatogether national campaign to end the stigma around mental health and substance use disorders.

love,
Laura 

❤️ Heal Out Loud (lyric)                                      


First comes a day 
It falls and it shatters  
Like wind whipping round your beautiful mind

When the ache won’t wash away
Your thoughts grow rise and scatter 
And hopes like a dream you’ve left behind

Chorus: 
I’ll find you 
I’ll find you 
Through dark clouds 
When shadows drag you down
We can heal out loud 

Some days the sun won’t rise 
You’ve tried all they say to try 
Cheer up chin up, toughen up, 
Sometimes it’s easier to hide

br:
Don’t stop believing 
you’re wanted here and loved
When the whole world’s not listening 
I’ll be the one who does

When the shame won’t wash away
And each day dives down to despair
Hear our voices, come and join us
Rising in the air

‘Cause when you’re strung out
When the door’s stuck
Feeling like your time is up (you’re going down)
Look around we’re here
Whispering in your ear

Chorus
Come find us, come find us
Break the silence
Because I’m here listening now
We can heal out loud (repeat)   
Heal out loud
Heal out loud     

(When the pains so strong
We gonna talk it over
We gonna heal…)

Don’t stop believing 
you’re wanted here and loved
When the whole world’s not listening 
Be the one who does

Beautiful People

Sweet Justice
by Priscilla Ederle Shaw

Your crimes are up
You hold a smoking gun
Killing all the love
But mercy never comes

You still complain
I’m an emotional disgrace
Counting all the times
You put me in my place 

You’re pulling my strings
My button’s getting pushed
Taking me for granted
Like I knew you would

I’m wearing my soul 
With a tear on my sleeve
I’ve given my heart
But I don’t get what I need

There’ll be sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice
No more shots in the dark

Sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice 
For the hole in my heart

Your time is up
I’m cracking all your codes
Learning all your secrets
I should never know

Protect your fears
By casting only blame
But baby there’s no winner
In this losing game
You’re pulling my strings
My button’s getting pushed
You’re taking me for granted
Like I knew you would

I’m wearing my soul 
With a tear on my sleeve
I’ve given my heart
But I don’t get what I need

There’ll be sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice 
No more shots in the dark

Sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice 
For the hole in my heart

Afraid of moving on I doubted I could leave you
Guess I’ve had enough today
Gathered all my Strength to finally rise above you
Started paving my own way
I may never witness the karma you have coming
The consequences you will pay

There’ll be sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice 
No more shots in the dark

Sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice 
For the hole in my heart

------

I know your name
Your tangled crown of thorns
You’re casting only blame
The ones you love to scorn
