Show Me 04:13
SHOW ME Would it be alright if I tried to make you smile? Would it be ok if I start behaving like a child? Yes I might be crazy, yes I might be foolish Even if I found my mind I wouldn’t use it Just an empty space between my ears That’s all there is Would it be alright if I tried to make you fly? Would be ok if I stayed around and played a while? Yes my heart is open, yes I think I’ve fallen Even though I’m standing still I’m sinking deeper in I’m sinking CHORUS Show me another way, show me another take on it Show me another way to let you, let you Show me another way, show me another take on it I need to let you fall into me Would it be alright if I tried to take some time? If I had more fear then I would give you some of mine Even though I know you this I shouldn’t see so How about a look inside your head? Maybe you can help me understand I’m sinking CHORUS BRIDGE I may never be someone I want to be So many times I’ve fallen Won’t you let me, let you let me, let you CHORUS

Not Today 03:25
NOT TODAY Would you mind if I came round and mowed your lawn? It looks untidy, I think it’s too far gone Would you mind if I came round and painted your fence? It looks untidy, but I think we could be good friends CHORUS I don’t want, I don’t want to say those words I don’t want, I don’t want to be absurd Well not today, not today, not today It’s been too long, I think I need excuses Would you mind if I came round and planted tulips? CHORUS BRIDGE So should I ask for sugar Or should I ask you out tonight? Your garden looks so good now And your fence it looks just right So what am I to do now? Only one thing is for sure Coz if I don’t do something I’ll just come round and sand your floor Would you mind if I came round and mowed your lawn Would you mind if I came round and painted your fence Would you mind if I came round and planted tulips CHORUS

Pulled Under 04:03
PULLED UNDER I’m feeling just a little pulled under My thoughts don’t sing in tune I feel you washing over me My tears are welcome here like rain through water I didn’t mind you listening To me talking in my sleep I didn’t mind you holding me These feelings still run Oh they’re still running… CHORUS You’re not there for me everyday every night no I can’t run to you every time I cry No more time alone with you when everything else around us has no meaning I feel a little lost inside this house But I still love how the sun comes in Like tiny hands of happiness Taking me through rooms I once believed in It seems that time is gentle But my memories are not I need to drift a little bit longer These feelings still run Oh they’re still running… CHORUS BRIDGE I know that time can heal every wound we bring on ourselves But I just want to know Am I feeling this alone? Am I feeling this alone?
4.
EYES ARE OPEN I don’t care what you think of me I don’t care what you say or what you do to me I’m just tired and I wonder why my eyes are open I wonder why I don’t think it really matters now All my time is wasted - you know I think my time’s run out I’m just hoping I can fall into someone else’s dream I want to be CHORUS I think that out time awake is over-rated Maybe we should think about something with meaning Trying to sleep at night is not so good When all I think about is how I’m not so good I’m not crying, or at least that’s what I try to do I’ll try for you CHORUS BRIDGE If you want apologies If you want a window into my mind Leave your name and number right here And I’ll get back to you in my own time I don’t care what you think of me I don’t care what you say or what you do to me I’ve done talking now it’s time to make your mind I think it’s time CHORUS
5.
Happy 03:42
HAPPY It’s just another day of reflection, mutilation From here I can’t close my eyes I’m with me all the time And I don’t want to take the time to need you Don’t want you to walk away No excuses, repercussions I want you to walk with me And speak to me of love And what is that we’re afraid of CHORUS You tell me you’re crazy, You tell me you’re lonely You’re not happy Well, I am crazy, yeah, and I’m lonely But I’m happy to be me You say that you’re crazy, maybe you’re lonely Tell me you need me, tell me you feel me When you’re happy It’s easy when you’re here No distractions, complications And I forget myself But I’m still here when you’re gone And I can’t seem to find a way through me CHORUS BRIDGE I don’t want you to be the pleasant side of me I need you to hold me and let me go CHORUS
6.
A DIFFERENT WAY I wanted to know I wanted to know so bad I wanted to know everything I wanted to feel I wanted to taste the sun I wanted it’s warmth to drown me I wanted everything CHORUS But when I cry It’s for all the things I’ve missed It’s for all those times when I couldn’t be there I think what I’m trying to say is I wish it would’ve played a different way I wanted to run To leave it all behind The need to escape was so strong I felt I had no choice But you can’t understand You’re happy as you are But I wanted more, more than this CHORUS BRIDGE It’s what I need I feel so all alone I’m trapped inside this life There must be more, there must be more, there must be But I can’t stay here, there’s nothing for me now Coz I wanted everything, it’s who I am CHORUS
7.
Falling 03:49
FALLING I wonder if I could Say the things I should Even if I could I would not say them out loud Gotta save my pride Even if I lie Only I would cry if you laughed at me But you never laughed at me So open up your mind Let your thoughts be kind You may think that I’m foolish for giving in Now it’s all out there Guess I shouldn’t care Can I take it back or is it much too late? Or have we changed? CHORUS I’m falling I think that I missed the point So kiss me and help me understand I want to be there but I hadn’t planned On letting my heart speak silently So still So open up my mouth Let it all just pour out Am I breaking down, I think I’ve lost my mind Are your ears turned on? Don’t you hear my song? Shouldn’t you have run and left me here to bleed? But you’re just smiling CHORUS BRIDGE When things mean more it’s easy to be still I broke my heart and opened up to you So wrap it up it’s only good for shattering CHORUS
8.
Beautiful 04:09
BEAUTIFUL I wonder where we go when everything’s over I wonder if I’ll get the chance To say how lucky I was I never thought I’d get what I wanted But I got you Lucky I got you CHORUS You are so beautiful and I Can’t take my eyes off your smile You are so beautiful and I’m So glad we had this memory For a while I wonder if I’ll get to thank the forces that made you And every good thing I ever learned I learned from being with you I always thought you’d be here forever It just won’t be the same CHORUS BRIDGE I know we take our chances when we open our hearts My life would mean nothing if I just Buried my head in the sand But I’d rather just Be with you I’d rather just Be with you CHORUS
9.
POCKET OF HEAVEN Everybody’s got a little piece of heaven in their pocket In mine there are memories of you Wrapped up with ribbon We could write stories Of dreams we’ve yet to make In Heaven In Heaven (In my pocket, in my pocket of heaven) I’ve got all the summertimes and all the pretty skies I could wish for Please don’t go away You’ll never find you way back home again These fields go on for ever and ever We could ride on a carpet made for two Dream dreams of wonder If we wanted to In Heaven (In my pocket, in my pocket of heaven) BRIDGE You make me cry You make me high Like a cloud In my pocket, in my pocket of heaven You’ve got to know There’s no one I would rather go with In dreams or my life In Heaven In Heaven In my pocket, in my pocket of heaven We could ride on a carpet made for two Dream dreams of wonder If we wanted to In Heaven In my pocket, in my pocket of heaven

Afraid I Do 04:52
AFRAID I DO Almost 4:30 and no time at all I’m waiting for the noise in my head to disappear so I can fall Into this dream where you say that you’ll always be here But the world will keep turning as i wake up to a pillow of tears Watching the sun rise into my room But I cover my eyes so that I can stay trapped in the gloom But in this dream where the noble of heart can rise above pain I don’t want to wake up I don’t want to be brave CHORUS It would be different if I didn’t feel it like I feel it for you It would be different if I didn’t mean it but I’m afraid that I do It would be different if I didn’t feel it like I feel it for you It would be different if I didn’t mean it but I’m afraid that I do All of my fears keep me awake My alarm will announce that it’s time to get out of bed and face the day But in my room sunlight washes the walls and sinks through my skin I know that you’re gone, I don’t want to give in CHORUS BRIDGE And I’m afraid that I’ll lose myself even though you’re not here And that I know that I’m fooling myself but I love without fear, love without fear CHORUS

Take on Me 03:32

about

"Little Stories" is a full band album from The Land of Deborah who's music has been described as "feel good folk pop" with "... one of the smoothest voices in the city".

A collection of songs that are real and raw, this is the full realization of her "little stories" as she hears them in her head. With a jazzy-blusey vibe the album has been crafted to create a deep, immersive experience.

Though the subject matter can be very emotional, one's spirit is lifted. Heartfelt lyrics from her personal experiences often had her questioning if she should reveal so much. Hearing from her fans how much the music had brought healing to their own experiences encouraged her to keep moving forward.

Her band, who have been with her from the start, bring a unique sound and character to her music:
Willingdon Black on Lead Guitar, Shawn Killaly on Drums and Johnny Wildcat on Bass.
(with Smash on Bass for “Not Today” and “Afraid I Do” and PJ Hermann on Drums for "Afraid I Do")

Welcome to The Land of Deborah.
