Superpower 04:09
Superpower I feel your eyes on me Feel them running Feel them run across my skin It’s like I hear you breathe And you’re working You’re working your way to me I smile and I entice Make you wonder what it would be like And if I stoke this fire Will I survive or turn to ice I need a super powerful love Gimme a super power to love I am your queen of swords I’ve been clever I’ve been clever as a fox Untouchable at first Now I’m playing Playing on your checkerboard The scent of hunger’s curse It was easy, and I’m on the hunt now Could be a great reward or maybe after I’ll feel worse I need a super powerful love Gimme a super power for love I want a super powerful love Gimme a super power to love I feel I’m in control Gonna crack it Gonna crack your code It’s almost all mapped out in a language, all my own But signals scramble up Another riddle for my pile I’m in the wild unknown the charm, the chase, it’s not enough I need a super powerful love Gimme a super power for love I want a super powerful love Gimme a super power to love

Over the Wall Hold me close So I can see All the pretty things other people see Hold me up When I feel small I wanna see over the wall I wanna see over the wall Hear me rage So I can breathe Wash away the dirt Hardened on my sleeve Hear me cry Don’t let me fall I wanna see over the wall I wanna see over the wall On the other side What’s on the other side On the other side We don’t need to hide On the other side What’s on the other side On the other side I’ll be by your side Hold me up, hold me up, gimme just the right stuff Teach me love So I can fly Like a free balloon floating oh so high Help me grow To stand real tall I wanna see over the wall I wanna see over the wall On the other side What’s on the other side On the other side We don’t need to hide On the other side What’s on the other side On the other side I’ll be by your side Hold me up, hold me up, gimme just the right stuff Hold me up, Pull me up, give me just the right stuff

Trouble Up 04:16
Trouble Up I can’t keep my thoughts in line Can’t keep my thoughts straight in my mind I’m having some trouble up inside I can’t sit still in one place Can’t look too hard into your face I’m having some trouble up inside Witching hour I’m wide awake Got bullets flying to contemplate I’m having some trouble up inside Scattered, desperate and confused I bumped my head and now I’m bruised And having some trouble up inside I can’t keep my thoughts in line I got trouble up inside I can’t keep my thoughts in line I got trouble up inside I can’t keep my thoughts in line Can’t keep my thoughts straight in my mind I’m having some trouble up inside Doctor give me pill to take Day in day out can’t seem to fake I’m having some trouble up inside I can’t keep my thoughts in line I got trouble up inside I can’t keep my thoughts in line I got trouble up inside Trouble’s got me In my mind Trouble’s got me All my life Trouble’s got me I’m trying hard to fight This trouble up inside I can’t keep my thoughts in line Can’t keep my thoughts straight in my mind I’m having some trouble up inside I’m looking for a freedom train But bondage in a no-win game I’m having some trouble up inside I cant keep my thoughts in line I got trouble up inside I cant keep my thoughts in line I got trouble up inside Trouble’s got me In my mind Trouble’s got me All my life Trouble’s got me I’m trying hard to fight This trouble up inside How come I can’t keep my thoughts in line I can’t keep my thoughts in line I can’t

City Lights 03:30
City Lights City lights in our eyes Don’t need no sun Don’t need no one Just gimme what I want City lights Monday morn From the day you’re born Too proud Or too bold To come out of the cold You don’t have to prove yourself to me I’m looking at you Do you see me You don’t have to prove yourself to me But when it comes down to it We’re uptight But we don’t fight Takes all my might To stay upright City lights hit my soul White knuckling on the payroll On parole, on patrol You tell yourself you’re in control You don’t have to prove yourself to me I’m looking at you Do you see me You don’t have to prove yourself to me When it comes down to it We’re uptight But we don’t fight Takes all my might To stay upright You don’t have to prove yourself to me But when it comes down to it We’re uptight But we don’t fight Takes all my might To stay upright

Honey 03:13
Honey The time you spend worrying what’s wrong with yourself That’s just the garbage stinking up your house The heart you give to people who cast you off That’s just cuz you don’t know your own worth I put my money down on a humpback’s ocean climb She said "Honey, don’t waste your time." And I bet it all on a barbary lion’s prime She said "Honey, honey, don’t waste your time." When you walk in a room, stride through the middle of the door The war you’re fighting is like junk in your purse Look them in the eye, you have a right to your space You just let them bear their own weight If you put your money down on a periwinkle’s chime She’ll say "Honey, don’t waste your time." If you bet it all on the comfort of a porcupine She’ll say "Honey, honey, don’t waste your time." If you put your money down on an owl waiting for sunshine She’ll say "Honey don’t waste your time." If you bet it all on a coconut crab on a fishing line She’ll say "Honey, honey, don’t waste your time." Don’t you waste your time

about

This is an all-vocal-looping record. All of the sounds were made by my voice or body. I began using the loop machine a few years ago as a composition tool to capture ideas because I couldn’t notate quickly and needed a fast way to document musical thoughts.  It took me a number of years to feel comfortable enough to use the loop machine as a form of accompaniment. On the journey of learning to do a new thing with myself, I have had to face my impatience, criticism and doubt, and have found that in many ways, this creation journey has mirrored the challenge to feel at home with myself. I grapple with not wanting to be defined as any one thing, whether that is the type of personality, professional, or musician I am, and I wonder if I am an artist at all. I think we have different parts to our identities that are in conflict, but which can be harmonized as we grow into ourselves. I am a person of several voices, and now a choir of one. The record is titled Zahava, my middle name, to acknowledge my pursuit to learn and accept all the parts of me. 

I hope something in this music may inspire you to undertake the journey to find home in your self too.
