Valerie Stewart Crojayn is a very young Irish band whose musical ability is way beyond their years. Their twist on old blues classics are eminently danceable. Their singer Jordan, who plays a mean harp and guitar, would make Rory Gallagher proud. Favorite track: Faced Down.

Faced Down 04:20
Verse 1: Faced down not again The ground shook from where I fell My memory is dimming and the reason why is too Lights out I try to stand not a single chance in hell Link: But I depend on you to pick me up When I’m faced down on the ground Verse 2: Why, why, why do I do I do this to myself Pot of gold was full but I threw it all away Social Protocol, to be polite To take part in it Night after night and day after day Gives me strength; shows me wonder Grants me access to illustrious a’plunder Link: But I depend on you to pick me up When I’m faced down on the ground Chorus: See whiskey will make you drowsy Gin will make you sleep But two cubes of ice And a glass of water won't make you wanna Verse 3: Personality changes goes to Mad to sad to fun Like a three headed dragon A head for everyone No hope in stopping it Because the demon is in your blood Link: But I depend on and I pray to you To pick me up When I’m faced down on the ground Chorus: See whiskey will make you Gin will make you sleep But two cubes of ice And a glass of water won't make you wanna Chorus: See whiskey will make you drowsy Gin will make you sleep But two cubes of ice And a glass of water won't make wanna Instrumental: Chorus: See whiskey will make you Gin will make you sleep But two cubes of ice And a glass of water Is gonna make you want to sleep

Abstract 04:07
Verse 1: See the walls are closing in And the light is fading out The smell of fear hangs around The dark and silent room Yeah alright Pre Chorus: A splash of paint, a flick of the wrist A flash of inspiration and a blank canvas I don’t know and I don’t care Of what I’m gonna do next Chorus: My thoughts are going abstract And my hands are going numb Ignore the ticking clocks And let my juices flow Verse 2: See the stress of a thousand worlds Is gone with a swipe of a brush Anger, sorrow and Pain Is banished with a strike of a blade Pre Chorus: A splash of paint, a flick of the wrist A flash of inspiration and a blank canvas I don’t know and I don’t care Of what I’m gonna do next Chorus: My thoughts are going abstract And my hands are going numb Ignore the ticking clocks And let my juices flow Breakdown: Chorus: My thoughts are going abstract And my hands are going numb Ignore the ticking clocks And let my juices flow My thoughts are going abstract And my hands are going numb Ignore the ticking clocks And let my juices flow

Verse 1: Rattling Bones, Jangling Chains Outside my window. Knocking at my door "Give you two for flinching now three times the charm Baby be by me when you hit the floor" Verse 2: Shuddering slightly, a tad bit frightening When I hug that wall every where I walk "Baby be there, Baby beware Baby be my me when I hit the ground" Chorus: Frantic minds "Be careful what you call it" A frenzied state in time "Call it what you want" Frantic Minds Oh its Frenzy time I'm just living for the sake of livin' .... In spite of you! X2 Verse 3: "Well I stand here knocking at your door X2 Can you hear me knocking (oh) With my fist two three let me let you in Baby release me That sweet release yeah Baby be by me X2 When you fall X2 Chorus: Frantic minds "Be careful what you call it" A frenzied state in time "Call it what you want" Frantic Minds Oh its Frenzy time I'm just living for the sake of livin' .... In spite of you! X2 Solo: Chorus: Frantic minds "Be careful what you call it" A frenzied state in time "Call it what you want" Oh frantic minds "Be careful what you call it" A frenzied state in time "Call it what you want" Frantic Minds Oh its Frenzy time I'm just living for the sake of livin' .... In spite of you!

Verse 1: Dead in your tracks Your frozen solid and I’m hot on your heels Now bring it back You're going nowhere only nowhere is right here Chorus: Standing here; be alone Its at the tip of my tongue But the words won’t come Popping off one by one Yeah I’ve got six whole reasons to run But I go by feel Verse 2: Now getting lacks, I should be trying But I’ve never really tried before Call it white on black Paint you a picture of a hundred thousand words or more Chorus: Standing here; be alone Its at the tip of my tongue But the words won’t come Popping off one by one Yeah I’ve got six whole reasons to fly But I go by feel Verse 3: Dead in your tracks Can you feel it? x2 Dead on the tracks Can you hear that train coming? Chorus: Standing here; be alone Its at the tip of my tongue But the words won’t come Popping off one by one Yeah I’ve got six whole reasons to fly But I go by feel

Hesitate 06:26
Verse 1: Sun’s tired, Moon’s out Sky has been crying all day long Caught between the in-between Of what I call sane and what I've called insane Pre-Chorus: Crawl right under the fence Through the broken gate Down by the riverside There we ran and we hid away Verse 2: I dart ahead Mind set on moving forward Don’t take the time to look over my shoulder But the rock hard splash in the water keeps calling me back Pre-Chorus: Crawl right under the fence Through the broken gate Down by the riverside There we ran and we hid away Chorus: Super powers are gone And I’m running on dry Situations arose Gone through it a million times Why don’t you save yourself Why don’t you save yourself X2 Verse 3: Flashing lights sinking down A price to pay the river Stix in case you drown Intervention of fate and by fate alone The beast didn't take you it just spit you right out Pre-Chorus: Crawl right under the fence Through the broken gate Down by the riverside There we ran and we hid away Chorus: Super powers are gone And I’m running on dry Situations arose Gone through it a million times Why don’t you save yourself Why don’t you save yourself X2 Chorus: Super powers are gone And I’m running on dry Situations arose Gone through it a million times Why don’t you save yourself Why don’t you save yourself X2 Coda:

40 to 40 03:11
Verse 1: A poisoned mind Your head’s unscrewed and your mind’s askew Now lacking drive Those who tried were shut down And sucked dry Verse 2: Trudging was the only way But it feels like now that the path was already made Overnight, instant fame Does nothing for your craft and nothing for your name Chorus: 40 to 40 being played from the back of the room 40 to 40 being blared from that juke Verse 3: Know my name Know my story, from where I came Its all about “fame” Chorus: 40 to 40 being played from the back of the room 40 to 40 being blared from that juke Coda: 42..43...44...40….40 I’m gonna shoot you with my 45
