Amel Larrieux - Gills and Tails Live @ the Birchmere

Live @ the Birchmere in VA:

Amel Larrieux sings Gills and Tails off of the 2006 Morning Album. This song not only illustrates Amel's unique and sultry vocal ability, but also showcases her lyrical strength - as she cleverly sings us a metaphorical lesson on life and how it should be appreciated. She reminds us that the grass is NOT always greeener on the otherside.

I hope you enjoy what I consider to be my FAVE Song from AMEL, I am always moved to tears when she performs it.

'I Look Up with Longing At The Surface

Hypnotized By The Way The Sunlight Seems To Ride Each Ripple

And They Do A Dance

Every Ray Becomes A Beckoning Hand

I Miss The Sweet Taste Of Oxygen

I Mistook This For The Promised Land"

Can i come up for air?

Amaaaazing;o)

one of the best singers in the nation (God given beautiful voice and the ability to sing complex melodies and execute difficult runs) ...ya'll remember Tell Me by Groove Theory...this is her ya'll...although this wasn't the best performance, she needed more background singers and this song isn't the easist song to sing...

I was at this show, this was a gift to my sister Vickie-Happy Birthday Vickie.. Thank Amel for allowing my sister photos with you and getting on stage so that I can get a shot of you too! Thanks

I love how the interpretation of a great song can be different depending on who's doing the interpreting. When writing this song, I think Larrieux could have also been thinking about how limited her creativity and artistry was before the existence of Bliss Life Records. I love great songs like this one - songs that requires one to think about what is being heard.

The song is metaphorical. It's a clever play on words, comparing the struggles of the acquatic world to the world we live in. It's a profound message.

I know !The melody is hypnotic even to the end. I LOVE this song so much. Everytime I listen to it the hair raises up on my arms. Amel and Maxwell are some talents. Only if they did a duet (wishful thinking)....
