Jesus Died For Somebody's Sins But Not Mine

About Me

Calling all misfits, freaks, dorks, nerds, geeks, sluts, burn-outs, dreamers, artists, rebels, slackers, the disenfranchised and the disenchanted, and the damaged beyond repair!!!! ...... ____________________________________________________________ ____________________ Lily Holbrook’s sweetly provocative voice snags your soul from the first strains of “Welcome To the Slaughter.” Like a more sultry Tori Amos, with a touch of gruff vibrato ala Stevie Nicks, Lily is like a tortured angel trying to keep aloft. Her attempts create music that is stunningly beautiful and often brutally poignant with the lyrical content. The intensity she creates through mostly mellow music is mesmerizing. -Mark Waterbury, Music Morsels_____________________________________________________ ____________________________ Holbrook finds ways to shake free from predictability. She reinvents Ozzy Osbourne's "Mama, I'm Coming Home" as a tender ballad and gives "Cowboys and Indians" majestically sparse instrumentation, allowing her ethereal vocals to rise to the forefront. Surrounding herself with fairy-tale imagery and memories of simpler times (even down to her album's title), Holbrook makes fragility her biggest asset, giving "Everything" a sound as innocent as it is honest. -Catherine P. Lewis, The Washington Post ____________________________________________________________ _____________________ A Gothic Renaissance Faire Folke Album. -Chuck Eddy, The Village Voice Which Flower are You?
You are a Lily:You are graceful, gentle, calm, and pure and perhaps a little shy (though your shyness is part of your charm). You are a very honorable person who always wants to do the right thing. Your calm attitude has a soothing effect on others.Symbolism: The lily has long been used as a symbol of majesty, honor, chastity, and purity of heart.
