Walk Alone 03:34
People come into your life for a reason, a moment, a year, a lifetime, who knows. but with everyone you meet a lesson will be learned but not everyone’s meant to stay and walk beside you. sometimes you’ve gotta walk alone. Though I know it’s true, still I put all my hopes and dreams into you. Cos you came to my life and you knocked down all the walls in front of me. Oh now teacher, I’m sorry to stand, but you don’t even know the answer in your hand. Oh, I’ll go, but you’ll never know. That you made me the best addition I could ever be and you’ll never know Cos you showed me to just relax and trust in what I see and how love can be. But you taught you taught by default. A diligent heart afraid of whats unknown. All of that freedom, all of that love. We built it up high and now its burnt/torn to the ground. And though I’m here calling, I’m calling out your name, and though I’m calling I know things can’t stay the same. And though I know fairytales are what you read at night and though I know I can’t change the hands of time. Still I thought, I would have sung with you. Just one last time. People come into your life for a reason, but not everyones meant to stay and walk beside you. sometimes you’ve gotta walk alone.

I’ve been struggling with my inner demands they’re telling me how to feel and I thought you knew the battles fought as you were the one in command. But you said you needed time away and I just needed you. You don’t notice me, I don’t flick my hair, have that seductive stare, no, you don’t notice me and now my backs against the wall now I finally see. It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be me thats extraordinary. Well I watched you fall in love at first sight, more times than the sun can rise, and I know that I’m no Aphrodite but there’s more to me than meets the eye, still. You don’t notice me, I don’t flick my hair, have that seductive stare, no, you don’t notice me and now my backs against the wall now I finally see. You don’t notice me, I don’t flick my hair, have that seductive stare, no, you don’t notice me and now my backs against the wall now I finally see. It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be me thats extraordinary. So go, make me disappear with the dirt while you go and chase that skirt. I’ve had enough, I am a diamond in the rough. One day you’ll see it’s me thats extraordinary

The Wanderer 03:19
I no longer know where my home is. It’s been along time since I’ve rest/lent my head upon a familiar pillow. and I don’t know where I’m going to, I rarely make plans as they just fall through. I follow my heart I know I’ll get there soon. I don’t know what tomorrow brings for me my friends, and I no longer know what I’ll see when I open my front door again. Oh but there’s no need to cry for me My back gardens the ocean, the stars my TV Oh but there’s no need to cry for me, I don’t think I ever felt so free I took the long road but I saw it through The monsters that followed, well I fought them to Remember, you can’t always trust whats right in front of you. I don’t know what tomorrow brings for me my friends, and I no longer know what I’ll see when I open my front door again. Oh but there’s no need to cry for me My back gardens the ocean, the stars my TV Oh but there’s no need to cry for me, I don’t think I ever felt so free

Every Corner 03:11
I don't want to hide in the darkness. Just because your ignorance Precedes you I dress my skin in what I choose And I walk this road Because I do And still you sneak round every corner And I'm told this applause is all for me While you take all of my pride And I take all of your shame Is this what we are? Let you believe that we are just your public property No I am not weak, I need no disguise You'll never take the freedom, from my stride Think that you know me In just one seconds glance Hey yeah your calls make my hear beat fast But did you know it strikes a fear, beside me? And still you sneak round every corner And I'm told this applause is all for me While you take all of my pride And I take all of your shame Is this what we are? Let you believe that we are just your property No I am not weak, I need no disguise You'll never take the freedom, from my stride Cuz I am not weak, I need no disguise You'll never take the freedom, from my stride

I still remember, the lights shining so far away. So bright it could still light up the night, you said come stay with me just the moment. My eyes were open but I was blind. I looked around me, I didn’t know what was coming to find me. I didn’t realise the rules of the game, how did I let you walk away, didn’t know how else to play. So come on won’t you find me out here, I know it’s hard but I’m not giving up just yet, no name just the sound of my voice, can you hear me as I’m calling out to you. You said I’d miss you boy well you were right, well come on baby won’t you find me out here tonight. The days they fly by but its you I just can’t seem to shake. My friends think I am going around the bend. As there’s nothing I can do to define you just the scene that plays on in my mind. Still I’m searching, listening for the voice that sung to me, the one that spoke straight to my soul. How did I let you walk away, didn’t know how else to play. So come on won’t you find me out here, I know it’s hard but I’m not giving up just yet, no name just the sound of my voice, can you hear me as I’m calling out to you. You said I’d miss you boy well you were right, well come on baby won’t you find me out here tonight. And I know it’s a big old town, but I still need to be found. And I still feel you around, I just can’t find that sound. So come on won’t you find me out here, I know it’s hard but I’m not giving up just yet, no name just the sound of my voice, can you hear me as I’m calling out to you. You said I’d miss you boy well you were right, well come on baby won’t you find me out here tonight. Well Find me here tonight, find me here tonight, find me here tonight

The Light 03:41
Well I’ve come to realise what’s been going on. My eyes so narrow, been conditioned to lie. Now forced wide and I’m punished to watch the games unfold, But I won’t wish that I could blink to wipe away those tears To hide from the reality that meets me face to face As long as I can see that light seeping through, then I know that day is coming, and I know I know that they got those doors chained up tight, but don’t you see its us who hold the key Because I no longer want to walk in line, swallow what you feed me cos something don’t taste right, for to many years I allowed you to fuel my fears But I won’t wish that I could blink to wipe away those tears To hide from the reality that meets me face to face When did we all become so divided, all across the world and by those who we are guided. and when did we stop the talking, just drop the bombs turn around and just start walking and can’t we see when the blood is shed, its our brothers and our sisters to our shame. but as long as I can see that light seeping through, then I know that day is coming, and I know I know that you got those doors chained up tight, but you see its us who hold the key Knock us down, try and brake us, take away what you know makes us. But never forget what you give you surly will receive As long as I can see that light seeping through, then I know that day is coming, and so do you.

You 03:20
The days are long but the nights fly fast, in your arms I feel safe at last I've been lying naked on the floor, comatosed and not wanting anymore. But you Well your love shone through It’s you That Helped me pull through Cos in a world that will eat you up and spit you out with no remorse When every silver lining has it's wall and you feel like nothing at all I have you All my love for you It’s you You make this world not so blue I know I can take on the world, It can take as it pleases, I have all that I need here and, even if I should fall, I know I can pick up the pieces and I know I’ll be stronger, thank to You All my love for you It's you you make this world not so blue I know I can take on the world, It can take as it pleases, I have all that I need here and, even if I should fall, I know I can pick up the pieces and I know I’ll be stronger, thank to You oh its thanks to you you give me the strength to pull through It's You Oh its thank yo you you You make this world not so blue

about

Emilie Lierre’s low-toned, soulful, singing voice has a truly commanding presence. Backed up by the alluring chimes of her trustee Ukulele, the charisma that exudes from Emilie’s performances is truly electrifying!

A broken down relationship and a yearning to wander the earth lead Emilie Lierre to Australia where she busked to make a living and explored the southern hemisphere for 2 years. Appearances on ABC and Triple R radio in Melbourne gave her the confidence to pursue her musical dream and record an 8 track album on her return.

A nomad by nature, born in Manchester, brought up in Portsmouth, but comfortable anywhere, Emilie Lierre’s debut album The Wanderer takes the listener on a journey of their own through her thoughts on life, love, and the world around us.

Until now these 8 original songs have only ever been heard live or on the streets. And whilst a ‘full band’ album is in the works, our introduction to Emilie Lierre is a purely acoustic album featuring nothing but a lightly strummed Ukulele and Emilie’s trademark deep soulful singing voice. Each song is recorded in just one take, stripped back to the way it was originally intended.

This is an honest recording in every sense, portraying the message that Emilie’s music is made with purpose rather than frivolity or exuberance. And the results are beautiful!
