I sleep and yet I am so tired
Dreams are vacant
I am as still as frozen mermaid
Upon a painted ocean
Psychosis is a destination
Entertainment is bountiful
But I am standing still
Felling pain
Dwelling on disappointments
Lack of control
A schedule in a pillbox
Will I faint today and slip under the yellow wallpaperdolls
I meditate and yet I am so alarmed
Stillness evades the heart
A benzodiasapine fog lifts me onto the lotus leaf
It is a vacation from an omniscient humor
I brave to call some things premonitions
Not everybody knows how to leave and then come back
Sanity is the straight floral-print jacket
Life is good and yet I cannot forget
I was me when I left myself
Am I complete when I’m down the well?
Obsessed, fragments fit snuggly together
Repeat the image
Idiosyncratic static
Is it a piecemeal quilt?
Stitching, reparations
The same crick in my neck
The same migraine
A naproxen fairygodmother
A pain disorder how sweet a survival
Like the solders aches and pains
Dilapidation
The phantom thumb
A heavy dagger
I sleep and yet I am so tired
Miss emmy brown is definitely antifolk. She uses her distinctive rant to deliver potent and powerful lyrics. With her impressive range emmy's music is a roller coaster for your ears as it simultaneously repels you with its concepts and intense uncomfortable intimacy. Coy, flirtatious and honest emmy wears her song like the handicap of a childhood trauma.
Emmy is a singer songwriter originally from New Brunswick who began playing open mic nights well before it was legal at O'Leary's pub in Saint John. She joined the New Brunswick Music Industry Association (currently called Music/Musique New Brunswick) at the tender age of 15. Emmy made her debut in the Halifax music scene in the late 90’s releasing a six song EP "half-human oxymoron" under her Acadian name Emily Leger with the help of Terry Pulliam , Bill Dawe and Nomadic Sasquatch Records. Under the support of Greg Clark Emily Leger shared the stage with Lorraine Segato, John Southworth and Toronto's Roach Motel. Her debut EP received positive reviews in the Atlantic Gig, the Halifax Herald, the Coast and Here magazine.
In 2000 emmy moved to Gainesville Florida but before she left Halifax she recorded another EP called "Happyness". She made this recording with the help of Benn Ross, Lukas Pearse, Dave Christensen and Craig Sheppard the computer wizard. Happyness was released in Gainesville in 2001. Emmy spent some time performing in Florida and in New York. In 2002 this EP won Second place in Music Composition from the University of Florida. Emmy brown went on to sell 1000 copies of this EP off the stage to the diverse music culture of Gainesville and New York. While in New York emmy shared the stage with Turner Cody and Joe Driscoll breaking into the surfacing antifolk music scene and lighting up the stage at the infamous Artland. After her time in New York playing shows Emmy traveled to Quito Equator to make a record. This recording has yet to be released. Emmy is currently working on a new recording at Ultramagnetic studio in Halifax.
