one and one
if u take my window
sea green, see blue
lonely men built lonely cities
autumn fallin'
you are looking old
blue skies
you are the only one i love
one may die so lonely
gray or blue

Jaymay @ Mercury Lounge

I reviewed the Jaymay show at Mercury Lounge the other night (sold out!) for Filter magazine. Check out my review here!

I have always been a fan of Jaymay the moment I heard her song "Gray or Blue." She also sings the title track on Dirty on Purpose's latest EP, Like Bees.

I loved all the quirky, endearing bits of her music -- the kind of music that unravels the soul of a songwriter/performer to reveal her hopes and disappointments and observations. It sounds simple, but if you tried to do it yourself, you would probably come off as terribly cheesy and forced. The trick is to write and sing and let it flow naturally -- a tough feat, but somehow Jaymay pulls it off.

Check out her new song, "Blue Skies," which is available for free download on Filter's site. Check it out here.

I added "Gray or Blue" and "Corduroy" to my imeem player above for your enjoyment.

She has a bunch of tour dates coming up with the likes of Nouvelle Vague, Ed Harcourt and The Bird and the Bee. Check her MySpace for specifics.
