ABOUT THE ALBUM:

My 4Culture grant-funded full-length album "The Canary Collective: Vol 1" is my contribution to the dialogue amongst humans on this planet about who deserves to be able to afford healthcare, clean air, water, food, and shelter. It's me singing my sensitive soul song in the coal mine. I collaborated with other "womxn and queers" such as Luz Elena Mendoza of band Y La Bamba and Nataly Dawn of Pomplamoose to make a Cat Power and Sufjan Stevens-inspired collage of poetry, songs, and TED Talk quotes. I hope to continue to use my music and unique performance style to get people talking and singing about the ties between our healing bodies and our healing ecosystems on this planet.

lyrics

Promise me you’ll hold on
Promise me you’ll try
Cause it’s too crushing sitting here
Stuck on the sidelines
While i cannot do many things
At least I’ll say i tried
To shout through fences, over walls
While my hands are tied, warning:
They will come at you with all they’ve got
Expect the worst you’ve ever seen
But we can change things more than we thought
And i still dare to dream

of a new year
What’s to come?
In a new year
What will we have done?
In a new year
What will we say?
It’s time for a change
Well i’m here
To cheer you on
In the new year
Til fear is gone
In the new year
So please stay in game


stay
stay in the game


I know it’s easier to turn away
Wouldn’t blame you if you do
But on the other side of games you play
I’ve got a feeling you
Will stay


In the new year
What’s to come?
In a new year
What will we have done?
In a new year
What will we say?
It’s time for a change
Well i’m here
To cheer you on
In the new year
Til fear is gone
In the new year
So please stay in game


stay

Promise me you’ll hold on
Promise me you’ll try
