Girl you told me so
How god healed your heart
Your eyes are quite a find
My favorite design
Girl please don’t go
These holidays are great
We share the same walk
Praying like we know
Around lifes ticking clock
Hold my hand and grow
Whisper in my ear and be bold
Lets drive down to california
Lets go and find our homes
We come from the same town
Lets drive through the woods and bring them with us
And bring them with us
And bring them with us
And bring them with us
Mark my words mark them with your lips
Your red hair still is still lying everywhere
Shake that tambourine let it hit your hips
Jump up and down sing loud make sure you make face
Chirp like a little bird
And show me what you have found
Its good for me to hear
Its good to hear that sound
Call me sister call me when you are tired
Though the winter is cold
We have shared our warm beds
The secrets lay below
Underneath my cold breasts
Girl you give me reason.
Luz Elena Mendoza’s songs draw from her strict Catholic upbringing as an only daughter of a Mexican immigrant and the vocal harmonies of the Latin music she grew up around. Neko Case, who hand-picked Y La Bamba to open for her on multiple tours, lends her vocals to the title track of the band’s sophomore album, Court the Storm, produced by Grammy-winning producer Steve Berlin (also of legendary rock outfit Los Lobos). Court the Storm is packed with delicately crafted art-folk that finds Mendoza’s ethereal vocals combining with bittersweet melodies and thrumming, Latin-inspired rhythms, resulting in one of the finest indie-pop releases in memory
