about nowhere near eleven Whether it is a sign of the times or not, acoustic music is very much in the fore these days. In Sydney particularly, venues in residentialareas are suffering from noise restrictions as well as budget cuts and, as a result, many artists are turning to or, at least, are forced to turn to an acoustic format. It would seem that the glory days of "Spinal Tap" are a thing of the past! And so what began as an experiment through necessity rather than a determined creative direction in 1999 has officially taken on a life of its own with "Nowhere Near Eleven". With just one or two guitars or simply piano as well as hand percussion, the vocals are given the chance to be the star here. Featuring the rich and soaring vocals of Louise Perryman as well as the inimitable vocal spontaneity of Chelsea Plumley and Brydon Stace, "Nowhere Near Eleven" is a celebration of what has been achieved "live" with little instrumentation and amplification· A chance for the vocals to breathe· A chance to hear the space in the music· A chance to see the strength of these songs. The talents of Damian de Boos-smith (guitar) and Bill Risby (piano & bass) complement what has become an extremely versatile combo. Kept true to "live" performance, the fullness of sound in this recording is a testament to the musicality of each member of the group. With songwriting awards already bestowed on 3 of the tracks, as we have come to expect from Miss Perryman, the songs are well crafted and sensitively composed and arranged. As one reviewer stated, "excellent melodically and lyrically - the kind of songs you want to rewind and listen to again and again". They are at times humorous, instantly "hummable" and always heartfelt and honest. There's even the customary "angst" song so important in the female singer/songwriter repertoire of today! So, Louise and her guitar are a much more familiar sight these days. And "Nowhere Near Eleven" is about as far from Spinal Tap as you can get·. More reviews·. ."beautiful songs sung by the voice of an angel", "evocative word pictures in evocative songs", "what a voice!" |

Thinkin' Too Much I think I'm thinkin'
too much Tempted, ooh,I'm tempted,
yeah Helpless,
ooh, I'm helpless (yeh, yeh) Ah, what happens if? It's not like lovin' is a crime I'm going out of my mind (mind) I think I'm thinkin' too much Chorus... Come Inside No particular point to
make here Open wide (I hear her
saying) Maybe we don't have to believe in a perfect
ending every time She's good, she's kind
and she's well meaning She says, Open wide (I
hear her saying) Maybe we don't have to believe in a perfect
ending every time So Long So long, I'm always
sayin' it So long, I been lookin'
for Ah, but you, I love
the way you tug at my heart So long, I'm not prepared
for this So long, you got me
dreamin' Don't make me promises
you know you can't keep Ah, you, I love the
way you tug at my heart Don't make me promises... This Ain't Where Love Is He'll give you this,
he'll give you that Save me from sinking
beneath my skin So good at playing make
believe but in her heart she knows Save me from falling
beneath my feet Oh, it ain't love, it ain't for real He's sayin' this and
she's sayin' that It
ain't love, it ain't for real See Through I feel kind of
uncomfortable in my clothes I get so weary wanting
you I feel kind of uneasy in
my skin I've seen you look
into my disguise Solo I've seen you look
into my disguise I feel kind of
untouchable and old Without A Man I made a cake and I wrote
a play, I fixed the car and I
washed my hair, But you ain't no use without a man, I got a car and a place
to live, You ain't no use without a man, I sow, I reap, I build, I
dream, You
ain't no use without a man, Low
Go, baby go, you're on a
roll now 'Cos you say I can't when
you know I can Solo You're giving me the evil
eye Crooked Smile
Music & Lyrics:
Louise Perryman
Crooked smile, take me in
your arms tonight We've been given a moment Solo Crooked
smile, take me tonight TOP |
