LIVE FROM JAVA JOE'S JULY 18th, 2007



Changin’

Music © 2007 (Kariann, Aaron Dillon)

Words © Kariann



So I’ve been waiting for the day

For you to show me what to do

Gimme just a little taste

And I’ll feed you right on through

So I want you like a saint

And I want you like a sinner

I want you and your older age

I’m not afraid to be your anchor



I’m changing you

You’re changing me

Yet we’re the same without a clue

I’m changing you

You’re changing me

Show me the world I never knew



So I’ve been waiting for the day

For you to teach me how to move

Take my hand I’ll let you stay

We got nothing left to prove

I’m wrapped up in how you play

Hung up with every word you say

I want you and your subtle ways

Unadulterated prey



I’m changing you

You’re the changing me

You’re the reason I’m subdued

I’m changing you

You’re changing me

Show me your back door right on cue



I'm looking in to be

Be your favorite flavor

A secret you can’t keep



I’m looking to be

Be your one addiction

The subject you can’t cheat



"REFRESH"

(c) 2007 Kariann

When all your worries fled

With Twists and Turns inside your bed

And for once you thought your life was in the palm of your own hands

And you actually believed these things would never leave your head

Well you were very mislead

Very, very mislead



‘Cause it all comes back you and

You can’t take back those things you said

And it all comes back to me and

I can’t pretend I didn’t get . . .

And it all comes back to you and

Now you can’t say you’ve never sinned

And it all comes back to you and

Back to me and back to what I said

I said . . .



While I was watching every

Feeling leave your history

And felt your strength with every touch when you stood next to me

And I’d like to think I was the one who stirred your memory

Your past became my hopes and dreams

But I still don’t know what it means



And it all comes back to me and

I can’t take back the things I said

And it all comes back to you and

You can’t pretend that you weren’t fed

And it all comes back to me and

Your skin I’m touching every edge

Now it all comes back to you and back to me

And what I thought was dead

So dead



And you’re stuck in your comfort mess

Where you feel safe, you can’t refresh

Another doomed relationship

If you can’t see past your own sh**

I wanna know what you meant

I wanna hear words you haven’t said

I wanna see what you see – tell me

What’s inside your head



‘Cause it all comes back to you and

No you can’t hide - its time again

And it all comes back to me and

I will not try to change this end

And it all comes back to you and

What’s your choice? I’m listening

While it all comes back to me and

Back to me and back to what had been

I’ve been waiting . . .

Holiday (Seasons Change)

By Kariann - 2006



I watch the seasons change year after year

They come and go but not for me

I watch the people talking everywhere

They laugh together but with me

They stop and stare



Pre Chorus

Everybody seems so happy

Holding hands with someone else

This crowded street still feels so empty

While I walk by myself



Chorus

So forgive me when I say

You won’t see me smile today

I’m just so wrapped up in my pain

So forgive me when I fall

Asleep with my back to the wall

I’m searching for someone

Who was never there at all



So fast how summer fades to fall

The leaves fall down I count them all

Just to pass the time, sometimes I feel so small

Suddenly it’s winter, another year gone



Everybody seems so happy

Gathered around the Christmas tree

And someone special to hold on to

But no one there for me



So forgive me when I say

You won’t see me smile today

Every year it’s still the same

I take a walk alone outside

Let the cool breeze dry out my eyes

I’m searching for someone

Who’s only in my mind



Bridge:

I know there’s no answer to this question

I’m just hoping one day you’ll come along and prove me wrong



So forgive me when I say

You won’t see me smile today

I know I’m weak, I’m so ashamed

So forgive me as I cry

Away this holiday tonight

I’m searching for someone

I know I’ll never find



The seasons change

The seasons change

But it’s still the same

The seasons change

The seasons change

But I stay the same…



What We Had

Here's a video of me in the studio recording vocals for "What We Had" with my engineer Mike Simmons and my producer David Koval.



Bio

Kariann's always been artistic. Always writing. Always drawing. Always creating SOMETHING!



She and Chris Foerster started the band Waiting For Wednezday late 2004 and the two started writing songs together. Unfortunately, they only played one show in May 2005 and subsequently went on extended hiatus after the band's bass player abruptly quit. After realizing that she could co-write she decided to write some songs on her own. Her first solo composition was "My Favorite Punk" followed quickly thereafter by "Shades of Grey" and "Shattered Lullaby". She played these songs as a solo set following the Waiting For Wednezday set and got great crowd response.



Once she started writing she started noticing that most of her songs tended to be written about one person. His name is Matt. Matt was someone that Kariann had a brief but intense relationship with in the Spring of 2005.



"Matt" was the inspiration for what ultimately ended up becoming the "concept" album "it's what matters!!!"



Kariann met producer David Koval in fall of 2005 and they started collaborating on songs. Their styles meshed very well and both realized that they could bring out the best in each other with Kariann in the role of songwriter/vocalist and David bringing his multi-instrumentalist/production skills to the project. At David's suggestion Kariann hired engineer/producer Michael Simmons to engineer "it's what matters!!!". Tony Snow of Dramarama/Glimmer Stars was hired to play drums. Two more Kariann originals were quickly done ("What We Had" and "Doormatt") in Mike's Crab Apple West Studio.



Shortly thereafter it was decided that another engineer would need to be hired due to Mike's hectic and over-booked schedule. Walter Clevenger (Dairy Kings) was brought in to record and mix the rest of the album at his Brewery Records studio in Costa Mesa, CA.



After final mixing was complete in August of '06 the CD was finally ready to be mastered and pressed.



Kariann's debut release "it's what matters!!!" was released on Halloween 2006.
