Hey there lovely patrons,
I can honestly say this is one of the most interesting and rewarding projects I've ever worked on.
And it's only just begun...
I've been building drum kits out of recorded household noises, layering up vocals, samples, instruments and absorbing a whole bunch of ideas from 4 other female musicians across the globe and back. Garry and myself have been busily mixing and tweaking and editing away, long hours into the night.
We might have gone slightly mad.
It's been a very inspiring project, I think the songs came out even better than expected. To be honest, I can't believe what we've achieved in just one month. The power of strong females working together (and Garry)!
This song 'Sister Sister' is track one of (hopefully to come) a mini-album based on the theme of a very fucked-up Doll's House.
The song itself started out as a weird little nursery rhyme. I gave it to Feline. I think now it would fit perfectly on the soundtrack to American Horror Story meets The Shining meets IT. Thank you Feline!
And thank you Kat for bluesing it up. Our voices seem to blend perfectly which made this song a joy to work on.
We might make a video.
With a doll's house.
On fire.
And Feline is writing a book now.
I love how art feeds art and grows into more art.

LYRICS
Sister, sister got a blister on your foot
It looks mighty painful let me take a look
I am always here for you, there’s not a thing I wouldn’t do
You only have to ask
If you let me and agree, I’ll make and fetch the remedy
You know I love a task
Sister, sister is there’s something left for us?
I have told you many times I need your trust
Thank you very much for helping me grow strong
I needed you when I was small
Now I’m fully grown to sing my own, lone song
I can be the one that you can call
Sister, sister never try to lie to me (lie to me)
I can see so clearly where I need to be (need to be)
You’re not very capable to live alone
Why don’t you give me the key?
I can be the keeper of your little home
I can be the eyes that see
Sister, this sinister place has got to me
We might never meet again, I feel no grief
You must let me go now, and get off my back
Please resist the urge to cling!
Time is running out to get my suitcase packed
Please get away from my things!
Sister, sister you have missed my call for help
Why did you not hear me when I slipped and fell?
There’s an evil you’re afraid of in the cold dead light,
Things that you would try to hide
We should stick together let me help you fight
Sisters, side by side
