Synopsis
Album Description
Female Vocalist and Acoustic Guitar Player backed by violin, cello, piano and many other instruments. Slow pop/folk with mystical feel.
"I met Lily as she sang her heart out on the street in San Francisco-- her glorious voice and lifting guitar amazed me. She's as sweet as her music, and it's twice as nice to see her live. I wish her great success!"
Exceptionally good

"I bought this album from Lily herself in Santa Monica's 3d Street Promenade a couple of days ago--heard her sing, couldn't stop the feelings, bought the CD. Exceptionally heartfelt and real songs--if you're into modern folk/singer-songwriter stuff, this is a must. And Lily got some more excellent songs up her sleeve--like the one she was singing when I stopped by (I giess it's called "The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance"). Good luck to her, she's talented, beautiful and really, really good!"
Good addition for fans

"For fans of Lily's latest album, this is a worthy addition. It contains many more acoustic and experimental songs, one of which is a very nice acoustic version of Mermaids. I recommend to buy Everything was Beautiful first (latest album) and then move on to this earlier one.
Highly recommended for fans of 'eclectic style' singer-songwriter music such as Tori Amos, Heather Nova, Juliana Hatfield, Tanya Donelly, etc."
Singer who reveals her heart

"i met lily over two years ago while she performed nightly on the santa monica promenade...she was a random voice i heard half a block away and i was drawn in a destinylike way..her voice made me stop everything i was planning to do for the next hour..great voices do that..as i listened to her sing a unique array of covers by male and female artists she sprinkled in some of her own songs..it was those that formed my opinion of lily as a singer who sings from the heart..achingly so...she was often harrassed by noise monitors and police for being too loud..which was funny because she was the softest and most angelic singer out there..her beautiful looks and talent i am sure intimidated people...that was a shame..so many times i watched others stop like i did and spend amounts of time with her..watching her pick at her guitar with care and love..it is easy to fall in love with her voice and charm..only in looking back do you have memories of greatness..i know many record labels were interested in her and only if she is allowed to develop her artistic inner sense do i expect her to be happy..she deserves to be happy..much like the way she has made countless fans..boston is lucky to have her now..."
