SoulLover 04:00
Well I might sail away on an ocean Find my own private paradise Or I might just be fine with the notion Of finding peace in your angel eyes You and me are the perfect solution To one another longing to be whole Open wide for this love revolution And the waters of freedom will flow CHORUS And I know this much is true Cuz I got you My SoulLover In these days of instant gratification Seems like no one has time for romance But I'd trade all things complicated For the simple joy of holding your hand A girl like me don't take nothin' for granted A love like this don't come around everyday When the seed has been properly planted The flower that blooms will take your breath away CHORUS

Just Fine 04:41
He's not my But he should be We're not like We're just friends, see I'm not his But I wouldn't mind We don't do But it would be nice if maybe we could try We say "I love" And it's easy Down to ride for He gives freely Could we ever? Would it work for us? Time will reveal Cuz in God we trust and God knows what's up BRIDGE I like the way he talks to me And I love the way he shares my dreams We don't dabble in minor things Life's too short to play those games He is my dearest, closest friend He is the one who knew me when And he loves me still It's alright SPOKEN Des amis ou des amants? Est-il mieux d'être l'un ou l'autre? Est-il possible d'être les deux à la meme fois? La cruauté d'amour Un coeur exhubérante, un coeur blessé L'éspoir et le désepoir Une touche, un embrace, la peur Mais au fin du jour On a la foi... BRIDGE He's not my But he should be We're not like We're just friends, see I'm not his But I wouldn't mind We don't do But it would be nice if maybe we could try Oh and maybe we'd be just fine

Look over my heart like it's up for sale You sort through my feelings like the daily mail I'm offering sunshine, but you bring me rain You make promises you know you won't keep And I keep believing cuz I'm in too deep We're going in circles as the years go by CHORUS Tell me, Why does the wrong thing feel so right? And why is the one I want the last one I need? Tell me, why does the bad thing feel so good? And why don't you love me like you should? I can't make sense of the things you say Cuz we don't communicate, but we talk every day Look back and these days, they seem like wasted time I gotta admit, I'm a fool for you baby In spite of the games you play and the crazy things you do I'm tied up and twisted and I can't break free CHORUS BRIDGE I stand at the crossroads Wondering which way to turn If you are my fire, then let me burn, let me burn, let me burn I'm searching for reason in your blinding light CHORUS

Wanderlust 05:13
I'm a woman with gold in my bones My heart is heavy with the brilliance I own Ever searching for the next outbound road The song on my tongue will lighten my load The farther I see The further I go Til I've reached the end of the line CHORUS Give me a moment, I'll tell you a story Of falling with no place to land It's just me, myself, and my wanderlust And the world in the palm of my hand I'm the ruler of my own Xanadu Where the stars dance to the whims of my moons Love's my mission, my theory to prove So I'll keep walking til I find my way to you My heart is broken My heart is mending And I got nothing but time CHORUS BRIDGE Beyond this mountain Across this desert There's a peace I'll call home Out of this valley After the storms roll When I find it, I'll know From the shadows of a life I once led Come the memories of a life left for dead And the remnants of the skins I shed Will litter the path to the road up ahead The farther I see The further I go To leave all this heartache behind It's just me, myself, and my wanderlust And we're traveling at the speed of light It's just me, myself, and all my dreams Moving on down the line

Mia 03:23
She said, You're lonely, child, you smile to hide the tears inside your soul She said, You're fighting, child, blaming yourself for what you didn't know She said, You're searching, child, trying to find the missing link She said, Look deeper, child, the answers are much closer than you think CHORUS So I'm standing here Arms stretched out to my side Any second now the wind will blow And I'll take the dive She said, You're trusting, child, but those you trust judge you behind your back She said, Be careful, child, watch what you say, watch how you act She said, He's waiting, child, but your neurosis keeps you locked in doubt She said, Look deeper, child, cuz he can't love you til you work things out CHORUS BRIDGE She laid the cards out before me Then she told my story She laid her hands on mind And whispered, "In time..." CHORUS

about

A collection of original material that offers everything true music lovers yearn for, "Nuda Veritas" conjures the spirit of ol’ skool rock n soul, drawing the listener in to a world as beautiful as it is bittersweet. From the raucous energy of “Mia” to the southern lilt of “Wanderlust”, the bright-eyed hopefulness of “Just Fine” to the sho’ ‘nuf sensuality of “SoulLover” and the deep longing of the Montrose-penned “Like You Should”, “Nuda Veritas” and is an open invitation to further explore the soul of a woman on the verge of love, loss, and naked truth.
