Joe Borreson Emily Cross's music wields tremendous power in her elegiac, shadow powered, tellings. It is one of those musical secrets you want to covet and enjoy in solitude, yet her aural magic is too good to be kept to yourself. I only wish more of her songs and albums were more widely known and shared, and so am very happy to have discovered these gems. Thank you, ever so much for sharing these Emily! They are medicine made of sound. Favorite track: It Might Feel like Nothing.

Simon Palastanga Lockdown jams from the mind of Cross Record, but it doesn't sound improvised, or like a demo at all. Sounds amazing

Daniel Bergfalk Emily could sing her way through a telephone book (if they still existed) and it would still be a riveting listen. That she wrote these songs based on listener prompts is further proof of her songwriting prowess and these tunes are the perfect setting for her gentle voice. Favorite track: Light Streams in Like a River.

Light streams in the room Like a friend Lightness all around Like a sudden dream Within this realm of being We need We need Lightness streams in like a river Washing me, Like a friend And now I can’t help but think Of your face It’s a high beam

Brothers 02:06
I see you in my mind, my brother we have both come and gone, my brother Back into the earth As others Still laying in the sun, together We were born together Now we are warm again forever
4.
I’m inside all day Until I go to the backyard And sometimes I walk in the street with other people Faraway And I wave We say ‘hello’ And there are still dogs, thank god, walking too. I can still smell the roses I can still feel the breeze
5.
Cricket 02:07
There's a cricket in the bathroom I can't find it to set it free I wonder if it knows I want it singing to me?
6.
A flower that's stuck in a dream it's me A flower you picked from a tree it's me A flower that looks so nice yes, it's me A flower that smells so sweet it's me it's me!
7.
When the time comes Will I be ready? I wait for you, But will I be ready? I imagine your face I feel at ease Open your eyes Take in the world Life is new and clean All that’s been Cloudy now is clear
8.
It might feel like floating in water, Or being blown on a wind It might feel like nothing Or a floating dream we’re in All I know is If it’s anything like life It’s something I look forward to
9.
Love is Wavy lines Confusing Everything, Everywhere Cannot be contained Too simple to explain Love is
10.
Sleep is supposed to be safe But I feel afraid To shut my eyes I might feel trapped In my own body Someone is in the room with me Someone has hold of my body Someone is in the room with me Who has my body? Sleep is supposed to feel safe for me But I’m afraid, I’m afraid!
11.
Open sky Mountains in the distance Dirt all around is it good for your mind? Talk to me Tell me how you feel About anything About anything at all Talk to me You’re an even keel Everybody knows Your feet on the ground But do you know? Your feet are on the ground
