Miss Innocence - Live at Rift Studios 02:39
lyrics
buy track
Here she comes Miss innocence With her big black eyes Slender leaf Blowing on the wind A wolf in sweet disguise Golden branch Pure as wine How could I pretend Up she creeps The thorn upon the vine The love that is my end Yes she cries out loud Been coming around here a while The ache it grows like a tall high rise She always comes with a smile Sweet as silver Like a bird How could I defend? Down it goes Spiraling away The love that is my end Yes she cries out loud Been coming around here a while The ache it grows like a tall high rise She always comes with a smile… She always goes with a smile

Angel - Live at Rift Studios 04:22
lyrics

So you are an angel And I don’t even care Wings, white light and halo An angel fierce and fair I’m not afraid to love you To hold you up on high If you are my angel Don’t matter if I can’t fly So you come from higher A place I just can’t see Not afraid of falling Just knowing you’ll carry me So maybe you’ve tumbled From heaven, up so high Still, you are an angel I’ll praise you, earth or sky So you are an angel Fallen from a star With your crooked halo, I'll take you as you are So your wings are broken And you can’t get so high Still, I love you angel Don’t care if you can’t fly

Little Devil - Live at Rift Studios 03:32

Little Devil 2 PM Wake up call Smoking a cigarette Playing my favorite song Kentucky bourbon no ice in a plastic cup Shaped just like your black corvette Even 100 proof Can’t hide the smell of you Breaking this other-worldy rule The night is falling, it's dark again Don’t call me angel Won’t call you prince If you come calling, Little Devil of my heart I will let you in… The world keeps turning What goes around comes around I am a dirty girl This is a dirty town, For the fallen I can’t help it Don’t judge me my lover Cuz this is my business What's under the covers Is an old song and dance The light is falling, It’s dark again, Don’t call me angel Won’t call you prince, And when you come calling Little Devil, of my heart, I will let you in Can’t help myself… I will let you in 2 PM Wakeup call Smoking a cigarette Playing my favorite song Kentucky bourbon no ice in a plastic cup Shaped just like your black Corvette

Gold Violin - Live at Rift Studios 03:50
lyrics

Gold Violin I followed him down, down to my knees Into the water to gaze on his beauty I watched as he swam naked and golden Returned every morning, for I was beholden I stole to his chamber, the place where he sang I found lying there, his gold violin I lifted his bow and lay it to string Played four shrill notes, then she came in Cuz he wasn’t mine to have Wasn’t mine to have He was the good, all in lightness clad And he wasn’t mine to have She lay out her hand, fingers long and fair Play softer she whispered, for that song is sacred So I left that place of reverence and awe Lay down that bow, and out to her shore Cuz he wasn’t mine to have Wasn’t mine to have He was the good, without all the bad And he wasn’t mine to have I followed him down, down to my knees Into the water, to capture his fancy For he was the good, all in lightness clad But I hesitated, and he went ahead So I understand, something of this world She is my woman, she is my girl Cuz he wasn’t mine to have He wasn’t mine to have He went ahead, and I hesitated Cuz he wasn’t mine to have

Season of Stone I am in a place Of shade and shadow Where achilles came to roam There is business here Trade and barter Ash and precious stone It comes rolling on the thunder Diamond hard and cut in many colors And I go below I go alone Cuz it grows below In my season of stone I am in a place of haze and heartache Where the shades try to run I’ve found my business here I deal in precious stone And I find it in my season of darkness I save it for my season of stone And I go below I go alone Cuz it grows below In my season of stone I am in a place of Ash and basalt Where the fallen heroes come There is passage here Up and down And the fare is precious stone It comes rolling on the thunder Diamond hard and cut in many colors And I go below I go below Cuz it grows below In my season of stone

about

Written around the experience of losing her father, Season of Stone is a 6-song EP that depicts Deborah’s mourning process through strange dreams, spiritual journeys and tales of city life. The work combines the quality of a studio album with the intimacy of a live performance.

Deborah recorded the songs just after her father passed away, and arranged them the way he would have preferred: vocals, guitar and violin. In this pure and simple arrangement, Deborah’s voice is raw and immediate, and you can at times hear grief in the vocals. Charlie Rauh’s guitar shines on these songs, combining a purist's ear and a penchant for sacred music, with the gravel and sophistication of a musician that’s carved a niche for himself in New York City. Nathalie Bonin’s experience in music for film and TV comes through in her atmospheric violin, and lends the songs an appealing, soundtrack quality. Each song was recorded in one take at Rift Studios in Brooklyn, with the exception Searching for the Light, which was co-written by Deborah's friend and musical collaborator Sari Dajani in Montreal, and featured on the soundtrack of Quebec's leading drama, "La Galere."

The album is Dedicated to Deborah's father, Jean Louis.
