The dark consumes your heart, your heart, your heart
Oooo oooo
No green grass, walking in the sand
The branches weave
Skeletons deceive, don’t leave me
For the shadow moon, shadow moon
Ooooo oooo
Shadow moon, shadow moon
Oooo oooo
Be strong you have nothing to hold
To hold to hold
Oooo oooo
There are choices your not to old
The past weaves
Skeletons deceive, don’t leave me
For the Shadow moon, Shadow moon
Ooooo oooo
Shadow moon, Shadow moon
Oooo oooo
Be strong you have nothing to hold
To hold to hold
Oooo oooo
There are choices your not to old
The past weaves
Skeletons deceive, don’t leave me
For the Shadow moon, Shadow moon
Ooooo oooo
Shadow moon, Shadow moon
Oooo oooo
Built my nest
A small palace
In the kingdom of you
Dangerous, misleading
Few noticed my skills
Middle of the day, middle of the night
Years float by
Your laws all around
Until he came
My chimney sweep, he’s so sweet
My chimney sweep, he’s so sweet
Your laws all around
not mine not mine
Middle of the day middle of the night
Years float by
You won’t find me
You cant have me
Rags to riches
Your riches are ditches
You can have your kingdom
I have found love, found love
My chimney sweep, he’s so sweet
My chimney sweep, he’s so sweet
Your laws all around
not mine not mine
Brace and bridle
Can’t hold me in
Under a howling moon
What direction is heaven on earth
Whisphering night make everything bright
Silver bullet, where are you?
Silver bullet take me thru
Silver bullet under a howling moon
The older you get
The stronger you fight
Is the world on fire
Is the wolf on fire
I am on fire
Silver bullet, where are you?
Silver bullet take me thru
Silver bullet under a howling moon
The darkness takes over
How can I kill it
Spill it over
The older you get
The stronger you fight
What direction is heaven on earth
Silver bullet, where are you?
Silver bullet take me thru
Silver bullet under a howling moon
Look up and hear the call
Look up and let it all
Fall behind you
Rise and face the sea
Hear the call and believe
Look up and let it all
Fall behind you
From the cradle to the cold
You are never to old
No more jailers hearts prayers answered come and start
Look up and let it all fall behind you
Step forward and purge
Let the ceremony surge
Rise and face the sea
Hear the call and believe
Look up and let it all
Fall behind you
Look up and let it all
Fall behind you
Look up and let it all
Fall behind you
In the rose garden I find peace
A place to go when I can’t sleep
And the veins of my heart
They grow large
I need to make a brand new start
Your troubled spirit makes tears streak
So ashes to gold
Gold to ashes
Thorns will shield me
Here and after
Ashes to gold
Gold to ashes
You speak love
But that’s not what you’re after
ashes to gold
Gold to ashes
thorns will shield me
Here and after
You live in murky water
Looking for light
Find it with all you might
Live as the sea breathes
But you can’t see
This ocean is deep
Let the haters make tornadoes
Let their waves falter
You are
You are
Your father's daughter
Strong and unique
You know you just better believe
Believe
You have a mermaids heart
You may never win
You may never know better
You may never see the sun
In this weather
You have a mermaids heart
You have a mermaids heart
about
October 31, 2021: Kelli Frances Corrado (she/her) is a singer, songwriter andmulti-instrumentalist, a quilt of memories and mysticism. Growing up in Chicago, she would sneak out during school nights to see hip hop shows and spend Sundays learning prayer rituals taught by a Bohemian Czech grandmother. This set a unique musical foundation leading her to pursue opera training, string arranger, beat making and classical poetry. Giving voice to her spiritual beliefs, she has lived many lives before putting her heart in song: social worker, student, tap dancer, teacher, wanderer. Living in the Black Forest, London and by the sea, using weird and wonderful places to record: a seaplane port, boat house, warehouse with six second reverb, and an old school from the 1900s, these patches of experience bring together a musical broth of magical realism and urban life ripe of lucid dreams and superstition.
Tuff Feathers exists between heaven and earth. The flight path where intuition and courage lie. The bridge that connects kaos and understanding. Kelli Frances Corrado has created her most vulnerable music to date. Guiding us to lean into fear and find strength within it. The music is minimal, empowering vocals with complex synth layers, pulsing beats and autoharp. Kelli Frances chants about losing friends, standing up to naysayers, watching loved ones disappear and above all standing strong in who you are and what you believe, no matter where the path leads. The spellbinding song ‘Shadow Moon Astrological Doom’ pleads with us not to lose ourselves in the darkness of uncertain times but to trust each other. Track ‘Murky water vs the mermaid ’ chants ‘you live in murky water, looking for light, find it with all your might.’ Lyrics that are a theme throughout the whole album. Corrado mesmerizes us into her bewitching landscape reminding us we are the masters of our magic and we are much stronger than we think we are.
In addition, each song is written in a specific musical key based in a spiritual practice taught to Kelli by her Bohemian Grandmother. This is meant to invoke healing and empowering energy.

THANK YOU:
M.Sauder, Jeffery Mcnulty, Angela and the Angels, the Corrado Family, Melissa Gonzales, Adam Passmore, Sarah Hurst, Grim and the Collective, and anyone who answered late night calls, gave a hug, came to shows and sent supportive messages.
(Eli)zabeth Owens’ Knock Knock is an incredible album. It is the conceptual continuation of their album Coming of Age (which you should also listen to), and Knock Knock is both an excellent continuation and a wonderful new album. The vocals, instrumentals, and lyrics are all excellent, and every song fits together wonderfully. Absolutely worth listening to.
Thank you for releasing this wonderful album. Kamani
