Foxy Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I've just ordered Bird Yorks 2nd album The Velvet Hour She has a really low, sultry voice, and she's so direct and passionate...on this album most of her lyrics seem to be fascinated with the drug of sexual attraction. Lots of smooth grooves, and a few funky beats. It's a perfect listen wherever you are, whatever you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxy Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Her album arrived on my doorstep today. I've listened to it twice over already. Amazing, totally, utterly amazing. I've posted the lyrics to some of my favourite songs on her album, so you get the gist of her music, I find them incredibly moving, and the music has really soothed me tonight. Listening to 'Have No Fear" (lyrics at very bottom of page), has moved me to tears, her voice is so haunting. Haunting You the days done and the moon's up and I'm pacing the cage of my heart I cannot stop this aching always leaves me dizzy with the need just wanna feel someone that's the time I wonder what it is you're doing and I slip in your mind like a daydream I am guilty of haunting you I am the song that stays in your mind I am the breeze you feel upon you I am the ghost in your bed stirring your desire in the silence in the shadows in the uncharted land of your heart you will hear me calling to you saying don't be afraid of the dark you're not alone I'm closer than the breath within you I am under your skin , can you feel it? Wicked Little High You're a wrong turn a big fat No you're the fifth drink before a long drive home you're the thing to avoid the bars to my cage you're all I think about everyday you've got that thing that my wildest dreams are made of you set my world on fire I die everytime you walk by I can't hide that I'm drawn to you Desire is such a wicked little high when the one you want is blind to you you're the third scoop the second pack you're the reason for therapy why I should go back Hey Mister Wrong you're the tingle in my jeans you're everything I don't want but everything I need I see other guys but their kisses don't mean nothin' 'cause you're what I have in mind I die everytime you walk by I can't hide that I'm drawn to you Desire is such a wicked little high when the one you want is blind to you you're a wrong turn a big fat No you're the fifth drink before a long drive Save Me In the afternoon she sits and waits for him to come two swollen ankles count the time Nervous fingers trace across the cold linoleum the kitchen wall receives her sigh "Oh, can you hear me, Joe?" she tries to call across the veil Her lips are trembling now can't hear his voice , can't feel him near she says "Save me, save me why don't you save me from the pain of losing you Save me, save me why don't you save me from this hell I'm going through" The dinner table looks so strange without him sitting there the bed is empty on his side for forty years this house has held the fire of love they shared but now the garden slowly dies He said he'd never leave her alone to face the day What kind of God is this that'll take him back and make her stay "Save me, save me why don't you save me from the pain of losing you save me, save me why don't you save me from this hell I'm going through? The kids try to come around, try to make some time to see me, I know, the busy lives they lead keep them from these memories" Come Be With Me Funny how your eyes keep wandering everytime I speak of deeper things my love has no walls, it has no strings so if you want to go, if you want to leave when you're ready, when you're ready, when you're ready come be with me I don't want to be angry anymore so speak your truth now even if it hurts 'cause your silence has been whispering that you're still looking and it's not for me when you're ready, when you're ready, when you're ready come be with me Have No Fear have no fear in your heart though you feel you've been broken and lost there's a place where we will meet up again there's a place that mends your hurt and takes you in there are times faced alone when you find all the holes in yourself you don't have to walk the night on your own I will say a prayer for you to lead you on I will say a prayer for you when you have gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Just had to bump this one up, I've been listening to Bird York again tonight, and still think she is amazingly talented. If you have seen the film 'Crash', you will have heard her song 'In The Deep'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyguitar Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Absolutely Brillo (Wicked Little High)...is the rest of the album as good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 In my opinion, yes. This link http://cdbaby.com/cd/birdyork2 has song samples you can listen to. Gives me gorgeous feelings whenever I listen to it. It is the perfect background music to night time antics You really get lost in the music and find yourself wandering this lovely world...

Earth-Angel Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I've just listened to "Wicked Little High" for the second time (I listened to it when you first recommended it) and I really like it! Thank you for the info and links I appreciate and listen to almost all the bands people put up in Get The Word Out, and thank you for taking the time to write a good review of the band/artist and providing links to some of their songs or websites.
