about

Lie is the second release in a project grown slowly between Joanna Burt-Kinderman and Judith Avers.
From opposite sides of the country, old friends found a new muse woven through sharing of the words that helped them give names to the moment of solitude and crowding, of love and frustration, of deep fear and absurd hilarity.
Each thinks the other saved them bit… both in the lifting away from real life and in support to walk right towards the very center of it.
Both are right.

"Always be honest. Life’s too short for kidding.” - Heartlands 2002 (Judith's favorite movie. She highly recommends)

lyrics

I lie all the time

Say I’m fine

Ignore the monster inside of me

I lie all the time

Try to hide

From the mirrors I don’t wanna see

I spend most of my life

pretending

is this how it’s supposed to be?

I wish late at night

When sleep and dreams

conspire to evade me

I wish all the time

for a sign

some path laid out before me

I spend all of my time

pretending

are we getting what we need?

But all this taking’s got me aching something fierce

All this talking’s got me acting up, I’m ducking outta here

All this breaking of my heart, and though it tried it can’t keep up with you and all you put us through,

I can’t keep up with you and all you put us through.

So I lie all the time

Say I’m fine

Ignore the monster inside me

I lie all the time

just to find

a spell of peace with me

I spend all my time

believing

that pretending's all I need

I'm a Kansas-born musician now living in California with my wife and our three cats. I've been playing music and writing songs for a long time.
Maybe I should have gone to school for something a little more secure, but now it seems this is the main skill I have to offer. New album out - I hope you like it. ... more
