I love your arms around me • Holdin’ me close and tight • You’ve got me mesmerized • I hang on every word that you write • For a moment it’s like a dream • But it’s not exactly how it seems • Don’t misunderstand me • I’m not at all confused • I won’t just stand around • And let myself get used • You see I’ve been in this place before • I’m not gonna take it anymore • You wish that I was your girl • You say I’m the center of your world • You promise to love me as much as you can • But it takes more than words to be my man • You’re like a dictionary • But you got a lot more to learn • If you wanna be my baby • You gotta give back in return • Something true and something real • Gotta touch my soul, make me feel...alive • Make me feel alive • You wish that I was your girl • You say I’m the center of your world • You promise to love me as much as you can • But it takes more, than words to be my man • I don’t wanna talk • I can’t listen anymore • To the same thing everyday • Gave up on trying long ago • What’s the use if you’re not gonna live up to what you say •

To Be My Man

The leaves bleed blood red mourning the fall • Somehow I feel so much yet nothing at all • We both know I can’t stand the cold • You could paint me the Sistine Chapel • But you can’t undo the damage • Or suck the sweetness out of Eve’s apple • But you can’t undo the damage • The leaves fall to the ground like drops of Holy wine • I heard the ghost of you sing a sacred lullaby • We both know skies turned grey and cold • You could paint me the Sistine Chapel • But you can’t undo the damage • Or suck the sweetness out of Eve’s apple • But you can’t undo the damage • You’re lying in your bed all alone • You’re finding it hard to sleep • I’ll admit at best my heart is broken but at least it continues to beat • You could paint me the Sistine Chapel • But you can’t undo the damage • Or suck the sweetness out of Eve’s apple • But you can’t undo the damage • Drown your sorrows in holy water • You can’t undo the damage • Dust and ash replace brick and mortar • You can’t undo the damage •


The Damage

I can see the pain you’re feeling • It’s written on your face • And the line keeps on growing • But you have lost your place • You are looking for someone else • To carry all the blame • You’re just wasting precious moments • And isn’t that a shame • Oh Wild Butterfly • When you gonna make up your mind • To change this time •  And learn to fly? • You will find yourself lying • Face down upon the floor • And when you finally can stand up • You go on running back for more • It isn’t that you aren’t clever • Beautiful and sweet • Sometimes it’s hard to find the things that are • The most obvious to see • Oh Wild Butterfly • When you gonna make up your mind • To change this time •  And learn to fly? •  

Wild Butterfly

A Middle Eastern styled reinvention of Black Sabbath's classic anti-war anthem War Pigs with string quartet & world instrumentations.

What People Are Saying:

“Within the first few measures of “War Pigs,” you realize that Victoria Faiella is a force to be reckoned with. Taking on Black Sabbath’s perennial anthem is one thing, transporting it to the other side of the world is another. Under Faiella’s direction, “War Pigs” receives a culture shock, heavy metal turning into mysterious, Middle Eastern exoticism. But this rhythmic, witchy arrangement is sort of a non sequitur. “Love Ashes—Crack the Whip” is pure romanticism, the singer’s voice shifting from the distorted pitch of “War Pigs” to one that’s soft and lilting. Faiella is a nimble picker and percussionist, and both skills are on display on “All Fall Down”—a track that would feel like global folk if not for a string section. As a musician, Faiella’s scope is formidable, her songs transfixing each in their own way. And she can give Ozzy a run for his money. We like her." - Kate B (Ourstage.com)

“In a time when the Middle East is even less stable than usual, Victoria Faiella brings us an Arabian-themed cover of Black Sabbath’s classic anti-war song. Replacing the guitar and bass with sitar and violin changes the tone from angry to haunting, and Faiella’s vocals contribute to this effect, especially when she wails “oh yeah” at the end of the second verse. From there it gets crazier. The sitar solo rivals the original guitar solo for sheer awesomeness. She first released a demo of the song last year, but this final version appears on Faiella’s new CD, Wild Butterfly.” – David Sugarman (CoverMe)

"There's an astonishing cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" with an appealing Middle Eastern slant that she really makes work." - Anna Maria Stjärnell (Luna Kafé )

Love (Words & Music by Victoria Faiella & John Poppo)

When I am lost
I can't find my way home
When I am tired
Feel all alone
Uninspired, can't face another day
I look to you, you show me the way

With your love, love, love
All your love
Your love, love, love
Your sweet love
Your love, love, love
All your love
I thank the stars above

When all of the world
Seems to turn its back on me
When I am shattered
Heartbroken & lonely
Nothing matters, everything's turned upside down
Somehow you turn it all around





With your love, love, love
All your love
Your love, love, love
Your sweet love
Your love, love, love
All your love
I thank the stars above

With gentle hands you planted the seeds
Together we will watch our garden grow
You've brightened up my darkest days
With a tenderness I have never known

Your love, love, love
All your love
Your love, love, love
Your sweet love
Your love, love, love
All your love
I thank the stars above

C U Next Tuesday 

Words - Victoria Faiella
Music- Victoria Faiella & TJ Jordan

You put your combats on
Sing your favorite song
You got it all sussed out
But I know what you're about
Your mother turns in her grave
She learns of how you've behaved
You think about up yourself
You care about no one else

There's only one way to describe
The way you live your life
There's nothing you can do
Everyone knows it true

You're a C U Next Tuesday
You're the devil in disguise
With the games that you play, your deceit & your web of lies
You're a C U Next Tuesday
There's a special place for you
In the depths of hell you will burn for the things you do
You're a C U Next Tuesday

I know your wife real well
I know your girlfriends too
I can't believe that they
Fell for a fool like you

A megalomaniac 
To the nth degree
You're a snake in the grass
But you don't scare me

There's only one way to describe
The way you live your life
I'm gonna spell it out for you
Everyone knows it true

You're a C U Next Tuesday
You're the devil in disguise
With the games that you play, your deceit & your web of lies
You're a C U Next Tuesday
There's a special place for you
In the depths of hell you will burn for the things you do
You're a C U Next Tuesday

Sandstone temples crumble to the ground
What goes around
Comes around

You're a C U Next Tuesday
I see evil in your eyes
With the games that you play, your deceit it's no surprise
You're a C U Next Tuesday
There's a special place for you
In the depths of hell you will burn for the things you do
You're a C U Next Tuesday
