Eric Fitz RAI is IMHO the most brilliant undiscovered songwriter around. She has moved on since this release, but if only Feist would take up one of these gems, maybe the world would know. Favorite track: Date in December.

Bad Thing (free) 02:46
Well is it a bad thing that I can't wait for you to come home And is it a sad thing that I can dream of being alone with you You know you got the power to take away my blues I know how it sounds, but all I'm trying to say is your life is so endearing Makes me think that rainy skies are clearing I think it's funny that you are even hearing this song But I know your kind So don't remind me that I'm just a pretty face I took a chance, now my hearts open wide And it's waiting for you if you want to step inside I'm a tender soul I know I'm not as old as you But I know I could love you just as true But don't say a word, it's more then enough that you heard So is a bad thing I want to be wherever you roam And is it a sad thing I get so giddy when I hear the phone and it's you You know you got the power to take away my blues I know how it sounds, but all I'm trying to say is your life is so endearing Makes me think that rainy skies are clearing but don't you worry about this message that I'm sending Cuz if you tell me, I'll just keep pretending But I know your kind So don't remind me that I'm just a pretty face I took a chance, now my hearts on the line But if you're taking one too, everything will be fine I'm a tender soul I know I'm not as old as you But I know I could love you just as true But don't say a word, it's more then enough that you heard

Wishing Well (free) 02:12
Calling down the wishing well Wishing everybody well Wishy-wash emotions, fishy fishy potions smell Poor boy, your life was but a test I'm glad I knew you at your best Knock on his door, but he's not there anymore Cuz he took his heart and ran to save the rest Feel so alone sometimes I need that touch of home sometimes I'd sleep so close to him those nights To feel that sense of love lost What you said you wouldn't do, you did And what I said I didn't want, I did And it's hurting worse then words I couldn't say goodbye Feel so alone sometimes I need that touch of home sometimes I'd sleep so close to him those nights To feel that sense of love lost

These seasons change like moods And it's fall, so I fall Far from you, but now far at all I'm the fruit, you're the tree And the current texture of your brain I can feel it feels quite the same as me If you can still believe I know that we've been out of sight Right now, one life is hard enough to fight I know you know everything's gonna be alright girl Just you remember, you were my first love And I'll remember, we fit like a glove These rains they give me chills But it kills the fire on the hills so I can't complain When we all begin and end in the rain I know that we've been out of sight Right now, one life is hard enough to fight I know you know everything's gonna be alright girl Just you remember, you were my first love And I'll remember, we fit like a glove And I'll await a day in December to see you girl You and I still share the same minds, but different worlds

Mexico 02:44
Love you'd love to go to Mexico And slip through the cracks so no one knows And I would follow you to Mexico And slip through the cracks so no one knows Forget about your business It makes you anxious, so anxious Forget about my purpose It makes me anxious, so anxious And we could spend a life together, happily, make believe On stars, when we're stars Out the window, dreamers dancing Out the window, drifters chancing Quiet nights and sweet romancing On the clouds in paradise On the clouds, it'd be so nice On the clouds, with our new life on the stars When we're stars Love let's melt away to Mexico And slip through the cracks so no one knows And I would follow you to Mexico And slip through the cracks so no one knows

Evermore (free) 03:17
Love take me out for a walk With the trees and the breeze We'll imagine the sand I'll sing you a tune under moonlight You're smooth with your talking and holding my had Love I must confess You've been the best that I've had I know you must be scared to think that I prepared for something bad A gentleman sweeter then sour Will know that a lady like me loves a flower Petals and petals you've given me I know I'm always your girls of the hour Boy I must confess You've been the best that I've had I know you must be scared to think that I prepared for something bad But boy, don't worry about it Your heart beats with or without it And I know you don't need me anymore But love's strong and I wouldn't doubt that My world would crumble without it So please keep holding me for evermore More then never A love is ruined when deemed forever Let us just trust with us It's an honest endevor Cautiously moving It's soothing to know your devotion is vast as the ocean One of these days I'll stop dodging And trust that you're love is the fruitful potion

Sparkles 02:16
Could have been the soundwaves jumping off the light Could have been the same flame, close to toast foresight Made a bloody mess, was just a little sticky Opening some doors is never all that tricky Some streaming meaning hidden in the name Now things will never be the same Should of said it sooner, could have made it without scares Thought I was a looser cuz I wished upon the stars Oh mistakes were made in trusting you were honest Debt met at the heart of every broken promise Some streaming meaning hidden in the name Now things will never ever be the same Wish you might have felt it, wouldn't talk about it Wish you could have touched the sparkles in the sky In the sky like I did Oh did you see them too?

Baby found me down on a mountain side Watch me close my eyes as I wield these knives Couldn't say exactly why I cried Or why I tried at all to fall Riding cowboy I'll be home to see you soon Maybe you should try again to rope the moon Before I remind your heart where the sparkles start and I'll remind your heart where the sparkles start Scares you so to see me on the mountain side Scares me so to think that you would leave our side So baby when you go I'm going to End that way, I'm starting on your cue Just don't leave me before our prime is through Cuz boy you down that poison I down it too Baby found me down on a mountain side Should have pushed me over It'd of saved your life But now I'm tied And I have a heart Don't want to see you, boy Fall apart So baby when you go I'm going too Like Romeo and Juliet do Just don't leave me before our prime is though Cuz boy you down that poison I down it too And boy. you pull that trigger, I pull it too And boy, you jump off that bridge and I'm sinking in deep blue.

I'm lost in transit, turn around You picked my heart up at the lost and found Soundly we share a come place But these faces are new to me There is a world I have yet to see Silently keep inside that These motions made, I've seen before like Those words you say, have passed my ear In dreamy lands of wonder Dreams that brought the thunder And why the skies are quick to make a scene And why the skies are quick to rain on me, as lucky as it seems, I'm drowning I'm lost in transit, turn around I jumped those steps but I'm making ground Soundly now, keep in side that These motions made, I've seen before like Those words you say, have passed my ear In dreamy lands of wonder Dreams that brought the thunder And I'm in constant wonder at Why the skies are quick to make a scene And why the skies are quick to rain on me, as lucky as it seems, I'm drowning I'll keep for the stars dear Just know it's hard here Why I've been choking down water and salt Cuz it's quite ridiculous why they rain on me To think I'm meant for this, baby please believe I'm so lost at sea, but I'm trying
9.
Well things just weren't working out And I'd rather leave then sit here and pout So I guess I'll just what's left and hit the road And leave behind this over-stressful load But I don't know what I'm gonna do with a broken guitar And I don't know what I'm gonna do without having a car It's kinda nice I'm already on the west coast And closer to the dream It's kinda shitty that the things that I trusted most They didn't trust me But things just weren't working out It's probably best that I had to figure that out When here I thought I was dreaming for the group Turns out, they just thought I was stupid But I don't know what I'm gonna do with a broken guitar And I don't know what I'm gonna do with no money or a car It's kinda nice I'm already on the west coast And closer to the dream It's kinda shitty that the things that I trusted most They didn't trust me

E.G.B.O.K 02:03
I'm playing baseball with myself Stack the morals on the shelf Make me like to feel nothing at all Dear I choose my own moments to fall And grow, to show, I really got a spark And though, I know, I'm shooting in the dark Some day, everything will be ok Bloody nose, my heart never beat this way There's a line I can cross that could toss this all away So maintain your focus I know girl, it seems pretty hopeless But every mission has it's ups and downs And if you make it you can take the crown And show, and know, you've really got a spark And though, I know, you're shooting in the dark Some day, I swear, we'll make it to the sea I think, everything will be ok

Warmer Place 03:20
They like to think that I'm naive Boys, believe what you'll believe I've got other tricks up my sleeve And all this carelessness breeds pain My secret ball and chain It's breaking hearts, and making me insane So when did you decide that I don't need love You're messing with a mind that doesn't need to be shoved I'd like to take those eyes and show them all where kindness lies Last night I left to find a warmer place to hide Such simple pleasures that I miss Like the softness of a kiss Or a friend just to say, it'll be OK So what makes you think that I don't need love I'm falling off the brink and I don't need to be shoved So take those bitter eyes and choke them down with all your pride Last night I left to find a kinder soul to confide in (I'm not that girl that doesn't need love) (I'm not that girl that needs to be shoved) (so take those eyes and choke them down)
