Shane McElligott This is a beautiful collection of songs by the lovely Miss Chavez. Her breathy, intimate vocals, whether sung or spoken word, wash seductively over you. The stunning track 'Mine' is worth the price of the album all on its own. Perfection. Favorite track: Mine.

Timequest Media UK As a fan of Japan, David Sylvian and the various side projects and devations this came as a really pleasant surprise. For those into alternative music with subtle overtones, this album fits well in the collection. Think of Laurie Anderson and listenable Bjork.

We celebrated each moment of our meetings as revelations alone in all the world. you were lighter and bolder than the wing of a bird flying down the stairs two at a time pure giddiness, leading me through moist lilac to your domain beyond the looking glass.

Mine 04:58
Hair spread out a net of stars you begin where i do end how divine to call you mine eyes of heaven and lips of wine how divine to call you mine mine to call you mine i love you and i need you you are whispered poetry carved into the pepper tree how divine to call you mine eyes of heaven and lips of wine how divine to call you mine mine to call you mine i love you and i need you we are one we are one when the day is done baby we'll still be one we are one we are one the walls may tumble but we will still be one we are one baby we are one cause your mine, mine, mine we are one so divine we are one to call you mine we are one cause your mine mine to call you mine mine

snow falls another cold day waiting for spring waiting for him he is a gold thread pulling me thru the long winter I want to tell him how I feel when I'm falling how my heart races just to know that he's calling But I don't want to scare him overwhelm him he's a strange bird so I take it slowly just a flutter and some words my words are embers warming him thru another cold december when he's awake another sleepless night i know he's thinking of me I want to ask him if he feel like he's falling does his heart race just to know that he's calling me but I don't want to scare him overwhelm him he's a strange bird so i takes it slowly just a flutter and some words

the mountain seemed closer then it really was the tarred road eternal slicing through the salt flats sparkling in the simmering sun the country laid out before us from the northern great plains, to the camel colored hills of San Ramon we drove on through the night crossing state lines some unspoken promise calling us calling us west our world was in you with your golden hair now brown and wide eyes shy of two now lined in kohl you had us to yourself then angel seed sown into the heartland. sewn into the heart a thread unbroken the long road lead us to her door the scent of jasmine filled the air we laid beneath the slow sway of a willow tree all color faded to white waiting for the unknown waiting for her and with the grace of god in her stride she arrived... when she pulled us into her lap you were the first and like a great house over you we were in her arms halleluja! halleluja!

Back Roads 05:23
you say wake up! wake up! stop dreaming on my time but i say no! no! no! just let me sleep is it a crime? i hear the clock's tick tock but i'm not jumping out of bed until the path is clear you'll find me here dreaming up at storm... cuz i don't want to climb the ladder no i don't want to take the highway no i just wanna take the back roads baby i just have to do it my way i just have to do it my way now and i know you think your right and maybe you are but i'm putting up a fight this time and there's nothing you can say the road is open and i'm on my way and i'll be taking the back roads. the wind in the trees whispers all i need to know about the weather up ahead should i stay or should go? there's a beauty in the open road and i don't want to miss a sign so, i take my time cuz i don't want to climb the ladder no i don't want to take the highway no i just wanna take the back roads baby i just have to do it my way i just have to do it my way now and i know you think your right but i'm putting up a fight this time and there's nothing you can say the road is open and i'm on my way and i'll be taking the back roads... This time I'm taking the backroads And there's nothing nothing nothing you can say to change my way cuz i don't want to climb the ladder no i don't want to take the highway no i just wanna take the back roads baby i just have to do it my way i just have to do it my way now and i know you think your right and maybe you are but i'm putting up a fight this time and there's nothing you can say the road is open and i'm on my way and i'll be taking the back roads...

i'm layin' back thinking about that day by the water where i let you in i said come on come on come on come on baby i'm layin' back thinking about that day by the water where you let me in you said come on come on come on come on baby it was early may the day was warm we were still brand new there was trouble in the air but it had nothing to do with me and you so we walked hand in hand past the pine trees and the ferns unfurling looking for a place to lay to clear our minds and change the energy of the day our backs against the ground we listened to the sound of the wind upon the water we stole a moment to remember the wonders of this love and life i'm layin' back thinking about that day by the water where i let you in i said come on come on come on come on baby i'm layin' back thinking about that day by the water where you let me in you said come on come on come on come on baby you said come on come on come on come on baby you said come on come on come on come on baby was it the water was it the air was it the scent of dried leaves caught in my hair i don't know and i don't care the earth in your skin the moon in your lips the stars in your fingertips left nothing unexplored siete il mio amore beneath the canopy of trees you set my soul free you said come on baby fly with me i'm layin' back thinking about that day by the water where you let me in our backs against the ground we listened to the sound of the wind upon the water we stole a moment to remember the wonders of this love and life era ... acqua era forse... aria o.... il particolare profumo della terra era terra... sulla tua pelle vieni con me baby ....vola con me cammina con me...

Path Of Rain 03:14
You are an ocean You are a cloud you are the rain you are a river that flows into me an ocean I am an ocean I am a cloud I am the rain I am a river that flows into you an ocean we are an ocean we are a cloud we are the rain we are a river that flows that flows into an ocean

I will plant the seed of us with the ash of a long winter. I will exhale it all away... and begin anew. I'm going down, I'm going under. returning to soil. returning to seed. I don't know where I've been, but it is not here where I belong. So, I will sleep now and i will dream of tomorrow On the branch of the wild pear tree he sits, a spangled starling. Each morning I watch for him, with the sun he comes with song. In the breath that moves through wooden flutes. in the sigh of the strings of a dilruba, in the lament of a spanish guitar, I remember here in the soil, I remember who I am... here in the seed, I remember I'm going down, I'm going under. I'm returning to soil. I'm returning to seed. i'm returning to you I don't know where I've been, but it is not here with you where I belong. So, I will sleep now and dream of tomorrow, So, I will sleep now and dream of tomorrow

Tightrope 03:27
I'm on a tight rope got my eyes on the black crows flying the dogs are barking and the fat cat's a crying... it's late now and i should be sleeping but my mind has a mind of it's own and that monkey don't want to be alone God are you watching? God can you hear me? If you shine a little light my way you'll see the trouble I'm in no prayer can save me now i sold my soul to the devil himself and now I need a miracle to deliver me i've burned my bridges now i'm living on borrowed time come april that devil's comin' gonna take my last dollar and dime i'd place my faith in the weather but the storm has a storm of it's own I face another winter all alone God are you watching? God can you hear me? If you shine a little light my way you'll see the trouble I'm in no prayer can save me now i sold my soul to the devil himself and now I need a miracle to deliver me I'm on a tightrope and i don't want to fall so when you get this message could you give me a call? God are you watching? God can you hear me? If you shine a little light my way you'll see the trouble I'm in no prayer can save me now i sold my soul to the devil himself

No Goodbyes 04:55
she gave us her home and we made it our own when she laughed at us we should have known we had it coming' no goodbyes for us God works in mysterious ways no goodbyes for us I think well be ok our first winter came the silence misunderstood snowblind, we lost sight of all that was good she saw it coming she gave us a safe place to fall apart gracefully we made it through the storm this house is still our home so i'll say it again i'll love you 'til the end

You'll never understand Why she do what she do She's your greatest mystery un-erasable history and time will tell is she an angel or jezebel in her arms there's no heaven without a hell She is a terrible woman she will leave you before you can walk out that door she don't mean no harm she's just running away but she's your baby let her know she's your lady don't let her go you have to tell her tell her to come back home tell her tell her she's your terrible woman but you need her still but you need her still she's your terrible woman she's your crown of thorns she's your cross to bare she's the storm inside of you she's the wind in your hair and time will reveal love is a bitter pill so take your honey and surely your heart will heal she is your terrible woman her heart is gold and her love is bold she is your terrible woman she's just a little girl inside who's just running away she don't mean no harm she's just running away but she's your baby let her know she's your lady don't let her go you have to tell her tell her to come back home tell her tell her she's your terrible woman but you need her still but you need her still she's your terrible woman

Dreamland 03:48
the stars are falling your life is calling dreamland opens here the path is clear put on your overcoat summer is shying the birds are flying south shall we? fires are waiting now to spring to life you see stack the wood strike a match we'll find ourselves apart again come september and i will watch the snow fall from the old cape windows counting counting counting the days the days go by... in the cry of the whip-poor-will on the tail of an Autumn breeze by the fading light of fire flies we'll say our goodbyes dreamland opens here... let the long winter begin close your eyes and think of me when you see the moon upon the sea... that is where i will be.
