about

Empty Pocket Waltz is the first single from "I Have Considered The Lilies", Gaya's upcoming album, a reimagination of the music of Connie Converse - an enigmatic singer-songwriter who left behind a staggering archive of music and texts after her disappearance in 1974. Alongside a group of cult-favorite Brooklynite collaborators including Grey Mcmurray (guitar), Tal Yahalom (guitar), and Eva Lawitts (bass), Gaya invites the listener into the intimate world of Converse’s songs, poems, and ontological wrestlings with equal doses of warmth and melancholy.

To be released April 23rd, 2020.

lyrics

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shall we dine out, my dear,
And dance the night away?
Don't say you're tired;
You know you haven't worked all day.

We paid the rent finally,
And we're free to be be free.
Come now and waltz
The Empty Pocket Waltz with me.

Let's close our door
And make believe we're all alone.
Grandma can't hear,
And Baby's sleeping like a stone.

We paid the doctor his fee,
And we're free to be be free.
Come now and waltz
The Empty Pocket Waltz with me.

Why so unhappy?
Don't be that way.
Maybe they'll make me
Queen for a day.

You'll find a job, probably,
Or be free, or be free.
Come waltz again
This Empty Pocket Waltz with me.
