"Stone-Dry"
Music & Lyrics by Emily Asen

I will be a bleeding heart where yours is missing
You don't know all the tears that you have been missing
That fell from my eyes, from my eyes
While yours remain dry, stone-dry

If people can't change for you
They don't know you at all

I am not a wall for you to throw your fists against
You don't see all the bruises beneath my skin
Where the pain never subsides, never subsides
Keeps me awake at night, sleepless nights

If people can't change for you
They don't know you at all
And if people can't change for love
Then they don't know how to love at all

Every bone and every muscle exhausted
From the weight of all the troubles in my head
"Leave some, some for me, some for me," she said
"Leave some, some for me, some for me," she said

If people can't change for you
They must not know you at all
And if people can't change for love
Then they don't know how
And we don't know how
We don't know how to love at all

Nice. Don't mean to be a know it all, but a nice line level recording with a Presonus Tubepre in line would make this sound awesome. It does not detract from the lovely song in the least...it's just cheap and a real easy way to sound better.

That's a 200A wurly, I assume.

[emilyasen]

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you like the Presonus?  I've heard good things about it.

[larrobnix]

I listen to a lot of music and I think you are wonderful. It's like Joni Mitchel with a litltle something extra...and watching you makes me miss all my shaved lesbian friends from when I was 20. Get some video production girlfriend!

[emilyasen]

Thanks a lot! Working on upgrading the video production :) Hope to have some new videos later this year - more hi-tech stuff!

[smackyjack]

Oh, hell yeah. I think it sounds good for bass and Keys as well as Vocals. It's actually a price point granted other tube pres can cost thousands and obviously they sound better than the 100.00 Presonus. The drive is really great for warming up a wurly and vocals. If you want to hear what one sounds like, look at my wurly video. Sorry, but you have to put up with 2 minutes of my squalking. I use the tubepre like it's a part of my Wurlitzer. I can't remember when I didn't use it.

This is one of my favorites from you. What a great song. And what a great talent you have.
