Know Me



http://f.cl.ly/items/1h0s0u3Z253I2M0o1c2X/1-01%20Know%20Me.mp3

The Story:
I think I wrote this song back in 2007.  I recorded the vocals when I had a cold so my voice has a different sound to it which I actually kind of liked.  But I basically wanted to get my vocal ideas recorded so I wouldn't forget them.  I never got around to recording the official vocals for this track, but it is still a nice little tune.

So I met this guy and after the 3rd date he asked to borrow my car...I wrote a song about it.  Like to hear it? Here it Go!!!!

3/8/2012:  My Buddy Rob helped me learn couple chords on my guitar to play this song.  So I decided to share.  No makeup, crazy hair...just me in my PJs doing what I love most!!!

Know Me
(Music, Vocal Arrangement & Lyrics by Nadia Trammell)


Every time you call me
You saying Hey Baby
Even though we just met last week
And ever since you walked into my home
You looking real comfy

Chorus:
How you gonna come at me like you know Me
(How you gonna come at me like you know me?)
How you gonna come at me like you know Me
(Do you even know my middle name?)
How you gonna come at me like you know Me
(What can you tell me about me?)
Know Me

Can't believe you asked me to borrow my ride
You think I give out my keys
Cause I took me out a couple times
you need to come at me another way
before you act like you know me

Chorus:

Sunlight

This track was created by my buddy Rob DeGuzman, who is one of the most amazing guitar players I have ever met.  This song doesn't actually feature any of his guitar skills, but it just shows how versatile he is with his music.  When I first heard this song all I could hear and feel was the SUN...you know shining bright and so hot you can feel your skin baking and hear the pulsating heat.  This should be my theme song...I always feel good when I hear this coming through my speakers.

(Vocal Arrangement (Remix) and Music  (Original and Remix) by Rob DeGuzman

Sunlight
Sunlight

Chorus 2X:
Sunlight
Sun rays
Sunshine
Sun rays
So Bright
The Light
Today




Flowers bloom late in May
Two lovers holding hands
Children play in the park
bare feet walk the sand
And we owe this all to Sunlight
Chorus 2X:
Sun bakes my golden skin
Driving wind in my hair
Clear skies no sign of rain
blue birds sing serenades
And I pray to see the Sunlight
Chorus 2X:
Sunlight
Sunlight

FIT


The Story:
Daron Jones had a track that he wanted me to write/sing on.  Jones, who has a solid background in jazz composition and arranging, always challenges my ear with his music.  When I first heard the track I wasn't really feeling it and I was not able to come up with anything.  It was very different from all the music I had worked with in the past.  I just couldn't come up with anything that I felt fit the song.  So on my way home from our session I was listening to the track in my car and I had a "Eureka" moment and decided not to fight what I was feeling and just go with it.  

FIT 
(Music & Vocal Arrangement by Daron Jones; Lyrics by Nadia Trammell)
I don't FIT
and I tried it your way
I dont FIT
and I tried it their way

I don't FIT
You don't FIT
They don't FIT
We don't FIT
It just don't FIT
It's to crowded in here
Where can I FIT

And I tried it everyones way
Even my way just didn't  FIT
It just don't FIT
Just don't FIT
Just don't FIT
It's to crowded

I tried it your way
tried it their way
But The damn thing just don't FIT
It's to crowded in here
where will we FIT
I just didn't FIT

and when we tried it their way
Non of US FIT
It's just to crowded in here
Just don't FIT
Just don't FIT
Just don't FIT

I don't FIT
You don't FIT
They don't FIT
We don't FIT
It just don't FIT
It's to crowded in here
Where can I FIT
Pushing Me pushing it
I can't fit anywhere
It's TO CROWDED in Here

I just don't FIT
I just don't FIT
You don't FIT Either…
