Schizophrenia (This Time)

by Emily Richards
from Go On

Schizophrenia
You give me schizophrenia
Wishing I had never handed ya
A heart that can’t forgive ya

Hoping for amnesia
We gotta hope for a dose of amnesia
Wishing I could just forget ya
And stop crying with the cinema

This time, this time
Head over my heart
She lost the part this time

You’re lighting up a dark room
You’re lighting up this world’s dark room
But my world will be darkening soon too
The light’s almost gone without you

This time, this time
Head over my heart
She lost the part this time
This time

(Keep on leaving)
I don’t want to live this way
(Got me believing)
You show me with the words you say
(You’re not coming back)
I was meant to walk away
That rainy day last time
But I had lost my mind
To schizophrenia

This time, this time
Head over my heart
She lost the part this time

Schizophrenia
Can’t forget but I forgive ya

The Heartstring

by Emily Richards, Jeff Grant, Keri, Natalie, Brad, Cheryl
from Happy Birthday Mom

On this special 60th birthday, we celebrate you!

The Heartstring

You gave me life
Soft like the moonlight
You take my wrongs helping me feel alright

Your art of listening
Lifted by angel wings
You believe in me with all my world-saving crazy dreams

Your love wrapped around my soul
Where I’d be without you only God knows
Your heart is the truest part of me
Yea, you’re the heartstring leading me home

Time’s always changing
With memories we’re saving
And your hope’s behind me so I can endure anything

With each sweet, new chapter
Our children’s laughter
Ties us all together always & forever

Your love wrapped around my soul
Where I’d be without you only God knows
Your heart is the truest part of me
Yea, you’re the heartstring leading me home

We all know it’s not been easy
With more than your fair share to carry
But you’re still open and you keep on loving
When our world is storming
Your faith is transforming
And now I sing for you, for you

We love Mom. Always & Forever.
~Emily, Natalie, Keri, Brad, Cheryl & Annie

Reaching the trees
Launching to your dream
Yellow and shining
Bright spot rising

Don't forget to smile (keep it real)
You can make the world smile

Christmas Angel - Classic Christmas Album

Posted Dec. 8, 2011 at 7:09 p.m. to Emily Richards Public | 1 Response

Christmas Angel is my first self-produced album -- recorded on the 16-track with upright in my 2nd bedroom in LA. The oh-so-handsomely-talented Jason Brock plays percussion, guitar and the futon ;)

Please forgive the rough edges of this little album -- I was just learning how to record! I was like a kid riding a bicycle for the first time without training wheels (spoiled by John Jones & Sean Halley).

Despite sour vocals and simple production, Christmas Angel takes me back to December 2000 -- the first Christmas after little Annie passed. My family all flew to LA to visit. We spent Christmas Day at the Jerry's Delly in Sherman Oaks -- we were so grateful they were open!

I'd like to hope my songs on Peace of Winter are an improvement, but I still have a long way to go! Working on a few tracks right now for the 'Tis The Season project....

Happy Holidays!
