What Breaks (And What Doesn't) LaurenOC12 - 1,195 views - 1 day ago

Opening for Julia Nunes on August 8th in Auburn, NY. http://myspace.com/irishloc for more info.

----

There's a scar on my lip
One that you can't help but kiss
From when I was a kid
I got it like this
See I was three years old, maybe younger still
I crashed headlong into a window sill
And was surprised when I broke instead of it
That's the scar that's on my lip
That's what you're kissing when we kiss.

When you leave, you'll be fine.

When it gets real late
So late that it's not late anymore
And I'm alone, awake
Just creaking with the floors
I can ask the sun to let me sleep
Don't know what stake it holds in the hours I keep
Well I'll push it down
But these burning hands won't seem to do
All my efforts fall right through
The morning makes me think of you.

When you leave, you'll be fine.

But if we're talking about distractions
Everything is a distraction
Except when your blood flows
When your heart beats
And when your ribs rise
When your lungs breathe
If the earth moves
Where will you be
With what you love more
Where does that put me?

When you leave, you'll be fine.

It Wasn't You LaurenOC12 - 7,276 views - 1 month ago
I had originally called this something else until I found out that it was the title of a Lily Allen album.

I wrote this and then cut my hair because it looked kind of angsty.

Carly Morgan, etc., etc., you know what's up.

New CD is still available at http://myspace.com/irishloc. Just sayin'.

In other news, I just did some guest vocals on a song called "Proof" by Creature Comfort. Check it:

I was listening to songs
You sent once when you couldn't pay for a bus
Though the music's still nice
To be honest, I really don't think of you much
I just like the band
I just like the band

When we talked on the phone
Your voice started breaking, you said you were scared
That you might die alone
I'm pretty sure there will be someone there
But it never should have been me
It never should have been me

Just to be clear, you stayed perfectly kind and you still do
But I'd do you a disservice to resort to lying and say
It wasn't you

I should say, get your head out of fiction
Those people you love cannot love you back
Are you too proud for wishing
For anything more substantial than that?
You're allowed to say yes
You're allowed to say yes

Quit saying you're cursed
You're the only one cursing so please just calm down
Don't try to be a martyr
They just die because nobody wants them around
You know I'm right
You know I'm right

'Cos it certainly wasn't me.

Gah I'm really sorry English fans. Write angry letters to Gordon Brown for kicking me out of your country. I'm certain that he made the decision personally.

CD RELEASE SHOW
Friday, May 8th
The Record Archive
Rochester, NY
7:00pm
Get there early to see Ben Morey (http://www.myspace.com/benjam injamesonmorey). Seriously. You want to.
My CDs at http://www.myspace.com. Or, you know, this show.

Also there are lots of cuts in this video because monologuing to a camera gets me really flustered and I can't really do it in one shot. Sorry.

PS Thanks Tara Rook for taking pictures of things when things are happening.

Order keyboard cat shirts at http://www.zazzle.com/charlies chmidt Visit my website http://www.charlieschmidt.com
-Our cat Fatso playing the keyboard with all the cool of a true jazz artist. These 2 songs prove what $1,850 worth of cat piano lessons can accomplish. These kinds of clips kick it fofr advertisers.

Muggy afternoon = gentle covers.

If you haven't heard the original, find it, and listen to it. It's unreal.

I think your link to buy your new CD on your myspace page is broken. At least for me. I'd check it out.

Best youtube singer/songwriter/musician, HANDS DOWN.

When you're in London next you should probably let you know. I'll bring you food and tea and you can play me some songs.

Your show was awesome last night, I am kind of in love with your CD. Thanks for making good music.

P.S. Your channel background reminds me of something Angela from The Office would like. Funniest thing, ever.
