Lisa Videos on You Tube... anyone know what these are?

[bryce5.23.88]

There are a few videos on You Tube that say they were added 2 days ago... it seems like Lisa is the main performer. And i believe it's vyv and tomo playing with her. On one she plays guitar, and on another, it seems like the drummer (tomo, i think?) is playing guitar. Can someone confirm this?

Lisa Hannigan plays in Sligo
Donal Dineen's 'Month of Sundays'

I searched and couldn't find what this show was and when it was. Does someone know? Are these Lisa's songs?

well, here's the links:

if those don't work, you can search Lisa Hannigan and select the videos titled "Lisa Hannigan 1, 2, or 3"

thanks for any help : )

i've never heard the songs before, but i like them i could be mistaken but i would say they're originals..

yeah that looks like vyv and tomo all right.. sligo eh?

hey did i hear lisa cuss at the beginning of the second one? or maybe it was vyv

[mickey13086]

that first one is awesome...sounds like a really good song... i googled some of the lyrics, didn't find anything... im going with you guys...guessing its original.

going to listen to the other two later

[cactus360]

A solo album project for Lisa would be really GREAT!!!

[mickey13086]

Mother Hannigan..if you are out there...could you tell us if your daughter is going to ever do her own project. I know that it will come eventually...but when? Us eskimos are patient...but please tell us we won't have to wait that long.

[Spamlet]

Those rule the known universe.

As for whether they're originals. I believe they are. I tried googling lyrics and got no matches.

[Wheels]

At the start of the second one I think Lisa says the song is just a few days old... then jokes 'so it's s**te'

[Wheels]

In the third song, does Lisa sing "As an old balloon, I hold my breath'?

[Wheels]

Here's where it's from. Seems they're fresh as the morning dew...

And here's the (official?) myspace

Thanks Bryce, those were great! Anyone who's going to the Dingle recording should here these and more... And might even get to ask 'The Lovely Lisa' herself when they might be available.

[Wheels]

That new one ("I'd like to meet you") which she says in 'sh*te' is actually my favourite!

[Rusholme Ruffian]

They're bloody lovely!

A couple of words for Spamlet to check!

I'd Like to Meet You (Lisa Hannigan)

I don't know what you smoke
Or what countries you've been to
If you speak any other languages
Other than your own
I'd like to meet you.

I don't know if you can drive
If you hate the ground beneath you
I don't know if you write letters
Or you panic on the phone
I'd like to call you
all the same
If you want to
I am game

I don't know if you can swim
Or if the sea has any draw for you
If your better in the morning
Or when the sun goes down
I'd like to meet you

I don't know if you can dance
If the thought ever occured to you
If you eat what you've been given
Or you push it round your plate
I'd like to cook for you, if you want
I would want to
It'd be fine(?)

If you walk this way
And I keep my head
We could creep away
In the ???
Or maybe not
We could shoot it down anyway

I don't know if you read novels
Or just the magazines
If you love(?) the hand that feeds you
I don't know if your hearts been broke
I'd like to know you

You don't know if I can draw at all
What records I am into
If I sleep like a stone
Or rarely at all
Or maybe you would do
Or maybe you would do

If you walk my way
And I keep my head
We could creep away
Through the door
Though I don't know you
You make some mark on me
I don't fall easy at all

[bryce5.23.88]

i'm really excited. I really hope we see Lisa do an album of original stuff. she melts my soul.

I got vyv's birdtalk EP a couple days ago, and it's been a delight to listen to.

damien is lucky to have both of these ladies in his band.

[Miss Pink]

they're really fantastic songs..i love the 2nd one...
tabby tbbby tabby

[mickey13086]

the first is my favorite. but i like them all. thanks everyone for info

[simog]

Awesome - am loving the second one. I think an audio rip is in order (shhh don't tell the evil ones)!

Brilliant job Wheels thanks - I'd say it was "dawn", though when she sings a recap at the end, as you transcribed, it definitely sounds like "through the DOOR"

[Mankman]

So, essentially, this is the band minus Damo? Some great great songs here,especially the first one.

[simog]

^ don't forget Shane!

[liswyn]

Great stuff. I like the second song too... the '****e' one.

[simog]

Is it just me who didn't know that Tomo played the guitar?

If you love(?) the hand that feeds you (sounds more like either roar (at?), rob, roll, rub? Not positive which)

Song 3 is my favorite, lyrically and musically it's pretty much unlike anything else I can recall.

Here's the Song 3 lyrics you asked about

Waking up today
It was cold out
There's something I should say
But I can't get my head around
The bends in your brain
And your elaborate pain
Makes me tired.

As an old balloon
I hold my breath.
Like a penance paid too soon
And with too much eagerness
To know what is true
When air is changed by you
It makes it hollow.

I don't know
Where it comes from
Where to go
When the rain comes
When the rain...

Put me back in the bottle
Where the sea meets the sun
Where the bones and their rattle
It don't mean anything to no one
And I, I had a swing
When my soul was my own
I had my teeth bared for battle
Til love lost made me dull
It made me dull
It made me dull

Put me back in the bottle
Where the sea meets the sun
Where the bones and their rattle
It don't mean anything to no one
And I, I had a swing
When my soul was my own
I had my teeth bared for battle
Til love lost made me dull
It made me dull
It made me dull

Note-updated after finally hearing a clear recording of the song (Lisa on 'Other Voices' and it's actually titled "Teeth")

[simog]

Thanks Spamlet - though I am hearing a couple of things differently:

Waking up today
It was cold out
There's something I should say
But I can't get my head around
The bends in your brain
And your elaborate pain
Makes me tired.

As an old balloon
I hold my breath.
Like I been in stage o soon (?)
With too much eagerness
To know what is true
When air is changed by you
It makes it hollow.

I don't know
Where it comes from
Where the two go (?)
When the rain comes
When the rain...

Put me back in the bottle
Where the sea meets the sun
Where the bones and their rattle
It don't mean anything to no one
I, I had a swim
Where my soul was my own
I had my teeth bare bravado
Til love lost made me dull
It made me dull
It made me dull

Put me back in the bottle
Where the sea meets the sun
Where the bones and their rattle
It don't mean anything to no one
I, I had a swim
Where my soul was my own
I had my teeth bare bravado
Til love lost made me dull
It made me dull
It made me dull

Any ideas for a name? I'm tempted to say "Dull" but it feels wrong given the song. How about "The Bottle"?

[simog]

For those you you who would like MP3 versions:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FNCJ1HSN

[mickey13086]

i really like all of these when listening to them more.

the first one is still my favorite, but all very close and different.

i wonder if lisa wrote them

and THANK YOU SIMOG!!

[Spamlet]

Sim,

That's the last time I transcribe half asleep. Plus, I admit the only other time I really couldn't be certain of everything was also a Lisa sung one too ("Needles"). It's either a combination of her accent, her deliberate mumbling or the microphone level making her consonants fuzzier. Whatever the case, having an mp3 is the only way for me to employ all of my usual weapons. Now that I've done so I concur with the first line, no one and eagerness. I initially thought that but changed it when I became convinced that whole second verse was continuing the balloon similie. Probably due to the whole "stage o" thing which is an abbreviation for ozone layer but now I'm going back to the belief that she's talking about being onstage. Still can't hear anything but 'o' after stage yet but I know that's not right so I'll revisit it soon.

I can also get behind "where the tube goes" because it relates strongly to the suffocation theme beautifully woven throughout the entire song.

[simog]

Mmmm - still not sure.

Perhaps we are within our rights as Eskimos to demand a repeat performance from the wonderful Ms Hannigan.

Or is it a mother's perogative?

Mrs H....

Whatever - they are really great songs and I can't wait to hear them again.

[Ships_Were_Sailin]

why is lisa's voice so brilliant. loving track 2. also loving the fact that the mic kinda makes her sound like she has a lisp

[Timeé]

or a speech imspediment

[Closing_Doors]

Quick correction I just noticed as I was listening to The Bottle.

These songs are awesome. I really really hope this means she'll be releasing something soon (or at least maybe a show or 2 in Whelans or someplace )
