There’s a wonderful love Growing inside of me And it’s wonderful wondering where it came from Why has it chosen me? And it’s growing inside of me Wonderful love Beautiful love wonderful love inside of me There’s a wonderful song Growing inside of me And it’s wonderful wondering where it came from What is the melody? And it’s growing inside of me There’s a wonderful life Growing inside of me And it’s wonderful wondering where it came from Will it be he or she?

1. Release the captive flow Let yourself go It’s stronger than you know Let yourself go You hold your other self inside you The jailer and the prisoner both Oh let yourself go                                                   Release the captive flow  2. Don’t hold your breath forever                                                                 Let yourself go                                                                                                                                                        And float upon the river                                           Let yourself go Let yourself                                                                                                       And move upon the mind’s reflections The colours of kaleidoscope  Oh let yourself go                                                                                                                 Release the captive flow 3. So wide and deep the river                         Let yourself go                                         Let yourself go                                                               That holds your soul forever                                                 Let yourself go                                          Let yourself go The past and future flow together                                                                    The current’s moving strong and slow                                              Oh let yourself go                                      Release the captive flow  DESCANT Release release the captive flow And let it bear you where it goes The sky above the earth below And pass along the childhood years Where Alice swam inside her tears In land of wonder and of fears The music, words unsung unsaid The memories inside your head Like pebbles on a river-bed The wind has stirred the willow-leaves And Pan plays on the river reeds And still the river gently weaves Towards the spirit of the sea And Oro’pa’a by name is he And still he roars eternally Past and future flow together Current’s strong and slow Release release the captive flow And let it bear you where it goes The sky above the earth below

A girl’s gotta eat A girl’s gotta eat too you know We move to a new beat But we still gotta eat A girl’s gotta laugh A girl’s gotta laugh too you know Just look at the other half ha! We just gotta laugh You think girls are getting louder And we’re too big for our shoes We’ve got something to be proud of This is the news, this is the news This is the news v.2 A girl’s gotta sing A girl’s gotta sing too you know It’s like everything We just gotta sing A girl’s gotta fly A girl’s gotta fly too you know Right up to the sky We just gotta fly You think girls are getting stronger And we just might pick a fight You think girls are taking over Well, maybe you’re right, maybe you’re right Maybe you’re right

about

Girl Talk - First Ladies of Jazz
A new CD of previously unreleased recordings in loving memory of beloved NZ singer Beaver  (28/12/50 - 23/05/10).
This four-part harmony group comprised of Beaver, Candy Alderton- Conway, Julie Mason and Linn Lorkin, all soloists in their own right, was formed in 1994 "for fun" and became a popular fixture in jazz clubs and festivals throughout NZ and throughout the 90s. The liner notes says it all :" The 23rd of May, 2010 was a sad day for us all. At 6.30 am, our dear friend and colleague, the wonderfully talented jazz singer, Beaver, died of cancer. She was 59. Beaver had a warm vibrant voice. She had great phrasing & could deliver a ballad with a total lack of pretension. She was a bright, lovely woman, very down-to- earth, & was loved by the whole musical community. As The First Ladies of Jazz, "the four chick-singers" as you'll hear Beaver call us on Track 11, we had tremendous fun, musically and socially, on stage and back-stage and we have called this CD GIRL TALK, remembering our favourite collective pastime, the harmony our harmonies brought us, & the love for our dear friend - JULIE, LINN & CANDY
