This Place 03:30
lyrics

It must be this place It must be the way The room is situated It must be this place The floor it consumes me I'm falling underground I'm looking out your window Saying "someone let me out" I'm hiding in your closet Saying "please don't make me shout" I'm falling thru the ceiling I'm falling underground It must be this place It must be the way The the sun don't shine on my face It must be this place The floor it consumes me I'm falling underground I'm looking out your window Saying "someone let me out" I'm sure lucky I can stay here With these strangers

All Right 02:19

I listen to you But you don't make no sense I listen to you But it's just cazyness And my mind goes away Each time I think you say "Everything will be OK" I listen closely I hear you whispering I listen closely I think it's just the wind And I just loose my mind Each time I think you say "Everything will be OK"

Ocean Dream 05:42
lyrics

I want to jump into the ocean I want to fall into the sea I want to jump into the ocean I want her to swallow me deep Answers lie ahead In hands open and strong And when I have these hands in sight I will run towards them I will run into their light, light Dream I want to fall asleep for years And drown away all my fears Of tomorrow, today Water, climbing up my legs Ready to drown me, in my pain Tomorrow, today Dream I want to fall asleep for years I want to jump into the ocean I want to fall into the sea I want to jump into the ocean I want her to swallow me deep

There's a new something going round my head If you knew me you'd know that I like to pretend Some situations require that And I listen to people And I know that they're evil

Falling and Rising 03:44
lyrics
buy track
She’s crumbling again And her skin is getting thin And she’s asking him "Can you help me?" Now the walls are caving in And she’s trying to keep it clear And he’s holding back the walls Trying to keep everything from Falling down around them Falling Is it possible? To keep the walls from caving in? To keep this all from happening? No, don’t you know No, don’t you know Go with the flow Go on and hope Falling, rising Her threads have come undone Unraveled and un-spun And she’s wondering Can he mend me? Falling

Silent Lullaby 04:09
lyrics

Standing in the rain on a Saturday evening Listening to you say nothing in the rain Lightning lighting the way to you I'll say something something Red light shining bright it's all I see Besides your face Drunken babies Will this all be erased? Tonight is mine and yours Silent lullaby Should I keep my words inside They don't mind Should I listen with my heart Instead of the other part I don't understand I don't know what you're thinking Don't tell me make me feel it Silent Lullaby

Balloons 03:28
lyrics
buy track
My strings are thin and wrapped around you're fingertips Don't let me float away, drift off to outerspace Pop in the atmosphere then I'll just disappear I know my heart can soar, tie me down to the floor I've got something to say, "Don't let me loose my place." I feel the breeze on my face, sun warms a perfect day Don't let this moment die, double step back into time Keep moving thru this space, find ourselves in disarray I know my heart can sing, you are my everything Love me more than I can say, dont let me get away I know your heart is gold, yes I'm lucky I've been told Love you more than I can say, never let you slip away

Where I Lay 05:33
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been sleeping miles away from my body In the middle of the night I hear you saying, “Its alright baby” But here the nights are like ice and the days are grey And naked branches play melodies of winter haze on me I didn’t open my mouth for at least three days I didn’t open my mouth for at least three days, haze Trying to become the change Trying to become the range of difference I even remember the colors in my dreams I can vividly picture all the faces that I’ve never seen I am drifting I am lifted, further away Can you hear me? Do you know that I am light years away? Only the pillow can translate what I’m yelling from space In the morning, I’m back in place I’m awake, I’m laying low But I didn’t open my mouth for at least three days I didn’t open my mouth for at least three days, haze But I am happy where I lay

30 Days 06:13
lyrics

In 30 days I'm leaving this place In 30 days I'm going to have to face Every last emotional consequence I can't turn back Or I'll never get the strength back I can't look back To see you looking at me like that I won't leave my home Until you say that you'll come I won't go if I have to go alone I forgot what it feels like To sleep alone at night And I don't remember What its like without you in my life I won't let this change me I won't let this break me I won't let it take over me I guess I'll go on living without you I'll just try, Guess I'll go on living without you

In Memory Of 06:13
lyrics
buy track
And I’ve been wondering Do you still think of me? Have I faded into a memory? Speaking of memories That’s all I have left of you today Since the day that you left me You just fell off the face of the earth And I haven’t taken off the ring you gave me so many years ago It makes me feel I have a piece of you right here with me Not just a memory And I swear you come to me You visit me in my dreams lately And I saw your face so clear But you just kept on fading away And I saw your face so clearly But you just kept on fading away And I struggled to focus on your face And I tried so hard to see you the way I used to But you just disapeared into the distance You fell into the fog I tried so hard to keep you In sight but you just fell off the face of the earth But you’re not just a memory You’re every breath I take You’re not just a memory You’re all around me You’re the sand below my feet You’re the sunshine on my face You’re the breeze accross my skin You’re all around me You’re every breath I take You’re all around me

about

Waves is a compilation of some of Sheryl’s earliest songs written between 1997-2002. Waves was recorded and produced in her home recording studio with husband and producer Alain Ramos. The album was influenced by grunge and alternative music of the nineties, as well as electronic music of the early two thousands. Sheryl pulls from a deep well of creativity and interests spanning visual art, design, writing and music. Her style of music is somewhat dark, melancholic yet uplifting. Her lyrics and harmonies trace the path of struggle, empowerment and self-love.

Waves was written by Sheryl Dutton, produced by Alain Ramos and mastered by Roland Alvarez of Colada Mix. Musicians that influenced Waves include Radiohead, Pixies, Bjork, Aimee Mann and others in the alternative and singer-songwriter genres. Producer Alain Ramos describes the album as “…melodic, powerful and profound, it reaches deep into your soul.” Waves was released by Redland Records on August 10, 2014.
