Patient Love (Passenger Cover)

Just was transferring one computer to the other, and found a bunch of live tracks. Haven't played this one in years, makes me want to go back on tour :) Enjoy! xo

Please (Live @ Fuji Rock, Japan - 2006)

Taboo. Seriously have no idea where this song came from. My friend Alex Cuba was in town to write, and we were sitting at my kitchen table. He started jamming on this riff, and boom...the lyrics just flowed out my mouth. I think we wrote it in about 20 minutes. I kept thinking we should pitch this song to Rhianna, so maybe in mind I was channeling my inner "Bad Girl Ri Ri". Really though, I think I'm just tired of hearing songs about men putting their smooth moves on their ladies...us ladies got moves too! In Taboo, the tables are turned.

Lyrics - Taboo

Hey you,
I see you across the room
I know what i’d like do
Im keeping my eyes on you
Your smile, its catching me by surprise 
Maybe we should take a drive
I feel like walking on the wrong side 
It’s not like me, to do things like this 
But I really, Oh I can’t resist 
Its a feeling, that I won’t deny
Im breakin all the rules, and I wanna start a fire
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Taboo
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Taboo 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Taboo 
Breakin all the rules, and I wanna start a fire
Hey you,
I don’t need to know your name
Or from whatever town you came
I could care less about your profile
Cause I know, when I see something I like
Yeah I could keep ya up all night 
A story you could tell your whole life 
It’s not like me, to do things like this 
But I really, Oh I can’t resist 
Its a feeling, that I won’t deny
Im breakin all the rules, and I wanna start a fire
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Taboo
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Taboo 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Taboo 
Breakin all the rules, and I wanna start a fire

Open Up Your Eyes was a song I wrote for a little thing called: the  song game challenge. You get a word, and have to write a song using that word somewhere in it, within 24 hours. I can't even remember what the word was, but I took this particular challenge to challenge myself to write a song not about love or guys. Shortly before that I had gone into play for my friends 6th grade class room, I realized that all my songs were about love, or heartbreak. I thought to myself, I gotta write a song for the kids, the future generations. I love this track because its happy, positive and it reminds me of my early material.

Lyrics - Open Up Your Eyes

All around me
Everything is living
Beauty full of light
Just the beginning
Stars in the sky 
Perfectly positioned
Over deep blue seas
Lets go swimming 
Open up your eyes
open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
and let the light light come in
Open up your eyes 
All you gotta do is listen
The time is now
And that’ll be our mission
Cause we can be the change 
We can teach the children
All about the mother 
And the love she’s giving
Just open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
And let the light light come in
I know that If I believe
Oh I can do almost anything
Oh well that first step
Is the hardest
But how else are we gonna start this 
How we gonna start this
Tell me baby, oh…
Whats it gonna be 
If you wanna be the difference
Easy to see
Sky has no limits
Committing to the choice
Miles make the distance 
That your love will go
When you put your heart in it
Just open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
And let the light light come in
Open up your eyes
And let the light light come and open up your eyes
And let the light light come in 
Open up your eyes
And let the light light come in
Open up your eyes
And let the light light come 

Open Up Your Eyes

Waves is the most recent song of all. And definitely a departure from where I usually go musically. This one is super fun to play on the guitar, reminds me of my early days. My husband loves this one, mostly because of the first couple lines...When he first heard it he was like, "Oh yep, I can relate to this!" Ha. I wanted to do something with a beat, and also some electric guitar. I'd say this is just the tip of the iceberg, being on a record label so long, I'm conditioned to do things a certain way. I am really looking forward to exploring more with this vibe in the future. Im really just excited to explore music back like I did when I first started. No expectations, no sales charts, just good vibes, late nights, with me and my guitar.

Lyrics - Waves

I can be a handful
I can be a nightmare
I can get a little crazy

A little high maintenance
Hanging with the cool kids
Naw, it aint gonna be easy
But I could be your best friend
Loyal till the day ends
Like you never knew you deserved it

Yeah you know its all worth it
Yeah, you make it all worth it 
Oh Oh Oh 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
It comes in waves
It comes in waves

Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
It comes in waves

Sometimes i wanna peace out
Press pause, rewind, 
Take a drive, turn it all down
Other times I just sit back/get mad
Throw words like knives
Not caring where they might land
Even on the worst day
know that you still got me
know that what we got I wouldn’t hurt it
You know its all worth it
Yeah, you make it all worth it
Oh Oh Oh 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
It comes in waves
It comes in waves
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
It comes in waves
It comes in waves
Your patience 
My promise
This love will be honest
Forever and always
This love we will keep safe
Your patience
My promise
This love will be honest
Forever and always
This love we will keep safe
Oh Oh Oh 
Oh Oh OH OH OH 
It comes in waves
It comes in waves
Oh Oh Oh
OH Oh oH OH oh
It comes in waves
It comes in waves
