Run 04:21
Run Written by IVA You feel the pull of dark on your window pane You fear the cold start of every day The quiet snow’s a reckoning You hide in walls, imagine pain Stepping out in the wide glistening The dark is bright, beckoning You rise to top the mile It’s sweet, you stop, you smile It’s all you need without the sun Run, Run, Run ... The north has a thousand names for snow and it’s the place you wanna go To feel the fire of everything To feel as light as early spring The trees they seem to know your name They face the wind, the frozen rain You move on, the road, down the street Alone - the world at your feet The moment everything is one Run, Run, Run ... Oh the silence can wait, make you feel you’re losing time Oh the silence could break, make you feel you’ll lose your mind Fear you’ll lose your mind You run ...

Ghosts 04:15
Ghosts written by IVA and Kyle Ryan You faced the mirror and, in the moon, you see reflected Your walk from room to room the light on his collection His faded suitcase foreign journeys laid to rest Nails from a shipwreck, an ivory tusk and a sailor’s map You sit and wait alone for his door to open His furniture is old and hard it should be broken There’s something moving in the corner, maybe nothing But with your childlike eyes you sees the pain that keeps these ghosts alive And I was standing by the trees your father planted near the street And when you think it’s time to leave, I will be waiting Behind that heavy wall, the time you spent apart And while the sickness washes clean his broken heart He wonders what he did and wishes that he could It was never perfect but somehow she made it good But years ago she looked into that mirror and saw an ocean And who knows what they did for love and for devotion And now you’re back here trying to piece it all apart And you don’t know what it will take to have to keep his ghosts alive And they were standing by the trees your father planted near the street And when he passes on the lea, they will be waiting In your house I see you smiling in that picture that she kept Throwing an airplane on a island somewhere west Another of your family posed outside a summer house And yeah, I know that you’re still trying to sort it out But we can make the life we want and have them walking by our side And as we take these steps together we will know the reason why We keep these ghosts alive

Blue 03:52
Blue Words and music by IVA Additional music Jaron Olevsky Blue is not the name that I gave you Blue is the bright light in a northern sky Blue is not the way I escaped you Blue is just a name Blue is just a name Blue is just a name Waking up all I found was a dream of you The northern light streaming in my room Only to find what I couldn't do Was open up to thoughts of life with you Blue is not the name, it's a breakthrough Caught in the nick of time, only the truth will shine Blue is not the way I escaped you Blue Blue Blue Cause these are places where we've lived and died They will carry us away It's all behind the mask that helped you suit the game you tried Now there's no more time to play Blue is not the name that I gave you Blue is the bright light in the northern sky Blue is not the way that I escaped you Blue is just a name Blue is just a name Blue is just a name

Nobody’s Woman written by IVA I’m nobody’s woman You’re everyone’s man With a drink in your hand I don’t understand You brought us to ruin And wrecked all our plans Now I’m nobody’s woman And your everyone’s man You found me on Tinder Told me who you are I thought I was an angel Here to sew up your scars But this Mother Teresa Is living a lie I can’t touch the sickness You’re feeling inside And you don’t know the difference, I tried to do you right But you just wake the devil, you whistle while I cry And every disappointment, the love I thought I saw I can’t erase the memory, I can’t erase the cause Tried to damn up the river When you’d drown out your shame I just couldn’t help it Now you’ve got me to blame My days run on empty And I see my ghost I’m finding my answers Where I need you the most And you don’t know the difference, I tried But you just wake the devil, you whistle while I cry And I know no one’s perfect, but man, I gotta be And now you know my secrets, you’ve seen the worst of me I’m nobody’s woman You’re everyone’s man Still holding the bottle Yeah, I understand You know that I love you But I need to breathe I hope that I see you When you get the answers you need I’m nobody’s woman I’m nobody’s woman I’m nobody’s woman

These past months we've been releasing music from our new EP, "Live at Turtle" studios, recorded in the legendary recording space in Philadelphia.

We are excited to share this new record from my stellar Philly band.
Consisting of four tracks (Run, Ghosts, Blue, Nobody's Woman), this latest EP is the result of years of writing, recording, performing, editing and production. We are so proud of the final result and hope you enjoy it, too.
