Purchase 'Azúcar'

Thankyou for stopping by my website. I am just about to jump the country for a short peiod of time (September 2007)and I made this cd with my trip as my deadline. So I would like to dearly thank my musicians, Greg and Matt, and my engineers, Marcus and Kurt, for their patience and advice throughout this wonderful and crazy project. Im off to Chile in two days, with my sweet sister Sonia. The first spanish word i learnt was azucar ~ pronounced "ass-suu-kar" ~ sugar... and thats what this Ep is, short and sweet.

 

A·zú·car (Spanish for: sug·ar) n

1.             a sweet-tasting substance, usually in the form of tiny hard white or brown grains, obtained commercially from sugar cane and sugar beets, and used to sweeten food and drinks.

2.             a spoonful, lump, cube, or other portion of sugar

3.             any of a group of simple carbohydrates found in many plants that are sweet-tasting, crystalline, and soluble in water

4.             used as a term of endearment (informal)

5.             something used as a means of persuasion or to make a difficult or unpleasant thing seem less so

Lyrics:

I Dream You                         Shelly

Do you see these sweet things falling- into your eyes tonight.

Can we be these sweetened feeling- floating through our life.

Should we stop or should we go on? Must we need a why?

Please just let me feel this need its- a thing I can't describe.

Cause I dream you. As much as I confuse you

And I breathe you As much as I deceive you    Trying to let my feelings hide.

Can you hide your sweet surrender - Can you come on out and play?

We could just take some time out - Im sure there's no one taking score today

Because I dream you             As much as I confuse you- I want you in my lfe and i

Breathe you, as much as I deceive you             Trying to let my feelings hide-

Don't want to let my feelings hide.

And I hope you know that its ok as much as you say you know

And I hope you know that its ok, to just run and hide oh-oh-oh

But this world will only be around for so long till it will all capsize

And these reds and blues will all fade together and make this bruise that is my mind.

Because I dream you

As much as I confuse you

I want you in my sight and i

Breathe you as much as I deceive trying to let my feelings hide.

We could just breathe in and stretch these sweet things out all day

But then the darkness comes and my heart beat drums and I just wish that you would stay.

We could just breathe----

But then the daylight comes and my heart beat strums and

I just with that you would stay

 

 

Blue Horizon Drive Shelly

 

You, my horizon

You, are the horizon I can not own

You are a love I have to let go

You are the dreams and I can not sleep

You are the aches I so wish would recede.

Well watch out now             Cause im a love sick fool

And you so sweetly float.             Through my world.

Well look out now cause im a love sick fool

And you so dangerously float.             All through my world.

For all the reasons I can not have your love

For, all the reasons the deserts just don't flood.

For all the things that I can not see.

I just hope I just hope youll see the truth in me

Well look out now cause you're a love struck fool.

And everything I do, goes through your world

Well look out now, cause it's a love sick fool

Everything I do floats through your world.

You--- my horizon  You... my eyes are on...

Hope I know when to jump this boat

Forbidden Love Shelly

I'm not into forbidden love

i'm dont want to be late for you my love

ive travelled these streets so many times i know exactly when im lost.

No I'm not into this hidden love.

I'm not trying to hurt my love.

So if i could walk to your door, if i could fly, up this mountain of love if i could fly i would, find your love.

i would find you i would find you i would.

just think just think just think just think just think, what we would have if we found the sunshine.

just dream just dream just dream just dream just dream, how we would sleep if we found the light

im not into this hidden love

im not into this hidden love.

so if i could walk, to your door, if i could fly, up this mountain of love if i could fly, i would find you love.

if i knew where to look id find your love

if i could see you i would

Highly Debatable                                     (He's got her)                         Shelly

He's got her, In the palm of his hands

But he doesn't know what to do with her

She's steaming up the car on her own

She's taking all the reasons she loves him and oh-

She's gonna burn them She's gonna burn them

Like a fire on a Sunday She's gonna burn them.

 

He's got her in the palm of his hands

But but he doesn't know what to do with her.

And so she weeps like a sunflower in the rain

As he rumbles past her again and again and again until

What- am I gonna do with you

Oh- what am I gonna do, with you.

And so she'll see, like a clock on a wall.

That time don't wait on love in this lonely world.

And you can be afraid all you need to be

But the suns gonna keep on shining straight through you and straight through me until

What, are you gonna do with me?

Oh- what are you gonna do with me?

What- am I gonna do with you?

Tell me, what are we gonna do with us?

So everything we get- is everything we got.

We don't need nothing To destroy it all.

Just a little thought A little negativity

Is enough to feed this war you're handing on to me

So. We all believe, we are all alone

So what are you fighting for to preserve you empty home?                         So tell me

What, am I gonna do with you

And what are you gonna do with me?

I am the peace you've been searching for all of your life

So trust and believe in it a little bit this time

He's got her, in the palm of his hands, but he doesn't know what to do with her

Oh. He's got her. In the palm of his hands. But he doesn't know what to do with her.
