Graham Burgin Wow. Stumbled across Malaya in an email, researched on YouTube and her website ( malayablue.com ) and bought the CD from Bandcamp. Listened to the download already and what a great collection of songs.

Looking forward to receiving the CD and signed photo and seeing Malaya live at The 100 Club in London in October 2015.

So much great music - so little time ................... Favorite track: Dawn.

Taking a Ride down Bourbon Street Crowds pushing and shovin In the city heat Theres a sense of excitement Watch it come alive In technicolour Neon An explosion of light Dixieland Blues, Creole Rhythm fills the air Sights and those sounds, you just won't find anywhere Doors open wide, anything your heart desires Bars and the strip clubs, where temptation lights the fire The fun never stops on Bourbon Street Beer at 4 Dollars Flowing like a stream Hurricane cocktail Pat O'Briens feel the mood Down from Canal Street Esplanade Avenue Dixieland Blues, Creole Rhythm fills the air Sights and those sounds, you just won't find anywhere Doors open wide, in the heart of New Orleans Coming alive , down Bourbon Street Taking a ride, down Bourbon Street Taking a ride, down Bourbon Street

Forgiveness 04:14
I was so wrong So sorry For the pain I put you through There’s a thousand things baby I would like to say to you Oh can’t you see I want forgiveness Your forgiveness Please forgive me I wish I could summon up the courage But the timings never right I’m a bad girl, unruly That wants to run away and hide Oh I’m so weak I need forgiveness Your forgiveness Please forgive me We had a plan A vision But all that’s left is shattered glass And that picture frame darling Should hold the good times from the past Sweet memories I want forgiveness Your forgiveness Please forgive me

Bitter Moon 04:09
THE BITTER MOON He threw my love away and now I’m broken in two What can I do He played a wicked game That left me empty inside The tears that I’ve cried Baby you have shamed me You took my heart, betrayed me This fever burning so hot Now I can’t stop Sitting under the bitter moon He led me down the path Was that just part of a plan Of a cold hearted man They say forget the past But I will spend every day Making him pay Baby you have shamed me You took my heart, betrayed me This fever burning so hot Now I can’t stop Sitting under the bitter moon And one day you will see No one makes a fool of me And even though I try, all this anger I can’t hide The message I will send Gonna get my sweet revenge Soaking up the mood of the bitter moon I’ll come for you soon You better believe it, it’s gonna be soon, you better believe it Baby you have shamed me You took my heart, betrayed me This fever burning so hot Now I can’t stop Going under Baby you have shamed me You took my heart and played me This fever burning so hot Now I can’t stop Sitting under the bitter moon

Lost Girl 03:52
Lost Girl I’m just a lost girl in the big world And I can’t see what’s in front of me Heading down the winding road I got my bags packed And my boots on Leave this old shack Moonlight flit and run Getting out on my own I’m so confused I don’t know if I’m crazy or sane What should I do I’m outta my mind I need to be saved I need to be saved I’m just a lost girl in the big world And I’m on the edge, just a nervous wreck Falling down the slippery slope And now I’m hell bent On a mission to seek Gotta find myself an identity Cos there’s no doubt There must be hope I’m so confused I don’t know if I’m crazy or sane What should I do I’m outta my mind I need to be saved I’m wanting to be saved I’m so confused I don’t know if I’m crazy or sane What should I do I’m outta my mind So help me I’m confused I don’t know if I’m crazy or sane What should I do I’m outta my mind I need to be saved, I need to be saved Im just a lost girl, just a lost girl

I shiver when I hear the radio You smoulder with a voice of pure gold Its perfection sent from heaven Your calling with the message in that son The passion and the memories linger on Ill keep waiting, ill be staying here for you It’s amazing when the lady’s sings the blues We listen after midnight on the early morning show The night owls and truckers When the world is moving slow I look outside the window Such a peaceful time of day Chillin with the music So easy is the pace The magic of the starts up in the sky They compliment the feeling here inside Its amazing when the lady sings the blues Sings the blues Its amazing amazing amazing Hypnotising rhythm then she put her spell on me A beautiful rendition of the sweetest melody Timeless are those records From a golden age of jazz There never gonna leave us Happy living in the past Unwinding as the DJ says goodbye I’ll re-run all the memories in my dreams tonight I’ll be singing I’ll be swaying to your tunes Oh its amazing when the lady sings the blues

Ivory Tower 03:27
IVORY TOWER Yeah eh eh It was the age old tale of boy meets girl But soon you left me for another world When the going got tougher, it was time to split You don’t wanna know how the other half live No no In the Ivory Tower You think you’ve got the power But I still believe Sooner or later you’ll be in the rough with me Woah oh oh oh I see you’re locked away from all the sin Rose coloured glasses hiding everything And your penthouse is shelter from heavy storms Behind the shutters with the curtains drawn yeah yeah In the Ivory Tower You think you’ve got the power But It’s plain to see Sooner or later you’ll be in the rough with me ……..oh oh yeah Sooner or later you’ll come running back to me Climbing down from the top Feel the dirt in your hands And the journey won’t stop Until we’ve reached the wasteland In the Ivory Tower You think you’ve got the power But I still believe Sooner or later you’ll come running back to me In the Ivory Tower You think you hold the power But It’s plain to see Sooner or later you’ll be in the rough with me Oh yeah Just wait and see Woah oh oh oh

Dawn 03:52
As she lays next to you Asleep in your bed I am with you too Asleep in your head And when I wake this morning You will be there too, Next to her, perhaps But beside me too As you turned in the night, Your skin touched hers Its warmth and its softness Yearned and yearned But as your hands hold her body It is mine you caress And its me you undress Chorus Dawn, come and rescue me Save me from the misery Take this broken heart and mend it Dawn only you can end it Dawn, come and rescue me As you break the sky Dawn You set me free The pain grows stronger As the days go by I let you go I don’t know why Didn’t think you loved me Couldn’t see past fear You took another Say she’s not me The days get longer From months to years Only the darkest hours See my tears It’s a spoken story That’s been sung before But its my first time darling My first time alone Dawn, come and rescue me Save me from the misery Take this broken heart and mend it Dawn only you can end it Dawn, come and rescue me As you break the sky Dawn You set me free

Cold Hearted Man I have to break free I need to run From a cold hearted man A cold hearted man I’ll leave that cold hearted man Just watch out here I come Bitter and twisted Bad through and through Such a cold hearted man A cold hearted man He’s a cold hearted man That treated me so cruel (Who treated me so cruel) Write it in a letter Call him on the phone Tell him I aint ever, ever coming home Say it’s finally over The finish line in sight I’ve found my destination Breaking free tonight From a cold hearted man A cold hearted man I’ll leave that cold hearted man Make everything alright Yeah eh eh Just watch me fly Alright Write it in a letter Call him on the phone Tell him I aint ever, ever coming home Say it’s finally over The finish line in sight I’ve found my destination Breaking free tonight From a cold hearted man A cold hearted man Escape the cold hearted man And leave him far behind…..yeah yeah eh He’s a cold hearted man A cold hearted man He’s a cold hearted man That treated me so cruel

Woken up this morning With a fracture on my heart I can feel the desperation As it tries not to fall apart I’m sad to see the mirror And my picture seems to change My smile is sat all crooked Any my light is in the shade How did you do this? When you came it felt like rain Fresh pure translucent Tracing down my window pane How did you so this, to me? I woke up in the early hours With your face behind my eyes I’ve been dreaming bout you baby And for some time it felt so nice But when I realise, that I’m still sat home alone Your side of the bed still made And now I know that your gone How did you do this? When you came it felt like rain Fresh pure translucent Tracing down my window pane How did you so this, to me? And so, my day is done And this song is my tale Don’t know how I went so round and round To just keep coming back to this again Let this be a lesson to you No, don’t you give your heart away Let this be a lesson to you No, don’t you give your heart away

The Cold Light Of Day Missing you, missing you……yeah oh oh oh Felt so easy Caught up in the mood An emotional night I can’t help it Temperamental fool Unforgiving was that glance Thought I had the upper hand In the cold light of day It don’t feel so good When the going gets tough I’m fading, I’m fading away In the cold light of day Now the anger’s gone and I’m all alone I’m wishin’, I’m wishin’ you’d stayed Instead of walking away Pure redemption Let me turn back time I’d be that someone, you, you could trust But we never get chance to rewind So I’ll sit here and I’ll brood Sinking slowly in my blues In the cold light of day It don’t feel so good When the going gets tough I’m fading, I’m fading away In the cold light of day Now the angers gone and I’m all alone I’m wishin’, I’m wishin’ you stayed Instead of running away, run away In the cold light of day It don’t feel so good When push comes to shove I’m fading, I’m fading away In the cold light of day Now the anger’s gone And I’m all alone I’m wishin’, I’m wishin’ you’d stayed Wishin’ you’d stayed

Promised Land Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Yeah yeah yeah Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm I can see that times are changing And I know it’s in our hands (and I know it’s in my hands) Looking for a destination Destination is the promised land All around these walls are crumbling Every day we hide our tears People want to find an answer And the answer is plain and clear Oh oh woah I’m still a believer Oh oh woah Yes I am Oh oh woah I’ll keep on reaching for that promised land I can feel there’s trouble comin’ Find a way, don’t light the fuse This is real, so no more playing I’ll be fighting to break on through Many roads have led to nowhere All those dreams and wasted plans Looking for some inspiration Inspiration in the promised land Oh oh woah I’m a believer Oh oh woah Yes I am Oh oh woah I’ll keep on searching for that promised land …….yeah, yeah For that promised land ……..alright Oh oh woah I’m still a believer Oh oh woah Yes I am And oh oh woah I’ll keep on reaching for that promised land….yeah Find the promised land Find that promised land
