Flamed Out 04:08
rush in, fall down all open with eyes wide shut fell in, let down i see now theres no short cut light up, flame out i'm burnin on each and every end filled up, spilled out too much for the heart of a man we flamed out, rushed it fell in and down, i trusted your love had no limit your care had no limit but it wasn't deep enough, strong enough, true enough it wasn't real love here then, hush now what happened to forever ever ever clear then, clouds now no small storm could our love weather let go, go back i won't i won't i won't i can't don't go fall back in love cause i know i can we flamed out, rushed it fell in and down, i trusted your love had no limit your care had no limit but it wasn't deep enough, strong enough, true enough it wasn't real love

the crystal cracked now the dead wood will burn with words that stay i will open and learn she stung my back moved the venom around with light that burns my feet back to the ground make the fire hot and bright burn the dead long, give them light make the fire hot and bright burn the dead long, give them light the crystal cracked now i search for the shard hidden in the ashes still glowing not charred when i heal the quartz wound open and learned i'm reborn and cocooned gone the sting and the burn i'm adorned and perfumed gone the dark thing and concern i'm sworn by the moon to grow wings and return make the fire hot and bright burn the dead long, give them light make the fire hot and bright burn the dead long, give them light

Great Dunes 03:38
like the great dunes beautiful but in the wrong place our love came too soon built to bloom but not built to stay my eyes full mooned then the light made you look away if i give you room will you see there may not come a day to try to love again to try to love again to try to love again like the hot spring stay too long a fever’s comin on dizzy i try standing in body and heart i don’t feel strong flying with one wing the distance feels impossibly long is this all you could bring a 'sorry' and an 'i know i was wrong' to try to love again to try to love again to try to love again like the valley i don’t know what's on the other side i sure did not see how ready i was to love, to collide to try to love again to try to love again to try to love again

Deepness 03:14
the heart the blood stone the rose quartz the unknown the eye the marble the opal the cyclone the hand the soft paw the feelers the wish bones the mouth the sweet peach the taste test the love moan we are it all and no less we feel it all with the deepest we are it all, unless we just let go into the deepness the love the deep well the cavern the ocean the gaze the laser the window emotion the touch the contact the push back in motion the voice the echo the thought spoken i am it all and no less i feel it all with the deepest i am it all unless i just let go into your deepness into your deepness

Take It Back 04:11
i'm not trying to be distant i've been out of my body gone then back in an instant trying not to feel sorry if you want me you'll answer though silence I've allowed you sleep sound while I stir i've been wondering how do you rest when the feeling is love do you sleep when you've had enough for now will you hide when the feeling is new do you try not to feel blue so soon i've been busy I'm worn out don't ask too much i'll see you soon no doubt but be light with your touch if you want me you'll have me make future plans don't take it back baby please just take my hand do you fold when the feeling is love do you hold your armor up to me will I rest when the ache is gone do my best to not linger long in love don't take it back yet don't rest just yet

about

Emily Ritz Hudson, New York

Musician and visual artist, Emily Ritz makes tender, exploratory work which draws as much on the harmonious swells and hollows of the natural world, as on personal experience.
While classic elements of jazz and R&B can be heard, Ritz's sound is enticingly off-kilter due to her subtly unusual melodic choices and inventive use of electronic manipulation.
