1.	Shadows Of Nine 02:25	lyrics	buy track
I was born in a valley Between the woods and the sage Between the sun and the rain I was raised by the rage of the wind Blowing over my body Blowing over my skin Telling me to get out, get out I was fueled by the fire Cuz she lifted me higher Telling me to get out, get out I hear the bell toll As death calls my soul I feel the snake climb As I leave my fear behind In the shadows of nine I ran away to the city Feeling dark, feeling pretty Pretty, pretty far out You come to me in my mind Whispers from the divine Telling me to get out Telling me to get out I hear the bell toll As death calls my soul I feel the snake climb As I leave my fear behind In the shadows of nine

I'll follow you whichever way the wind blows I've been traveling so long I just want to lay my head down But it's so cold I am all alone I can't wait to find my home You don't want to get too close Run Devil run I'll follow you whichever way the river flows It's been so long since I've been gone I can't remember my name Can you remind me why we came? You don't want to get too close Run Devil run I know, I am not for everyone, ohhhh But I am tired of living life on the run I don't want to live in the shadows of your mind Follow me to the darkness and I'll show you a good time I don't want to live in the shadows of your mind Follow me to the darkness and I'll show you a good time When I was a young girl I told the world that it would be mine But as I grew older that world it grew colder, I died I just want to be alone Can you please just take me home? You don't want to get too close Run Devil run I know, I am not for everyone, ohhhh But I am tired of living life on the run I don't want to live in the shadows of your mind Follow me to the darkness and I'll show you a good time I don't want to live in the shadows of your mind Follow me to the darkness and I'll show you a good time
3.	Feed Me To The Wolves 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Born at the start of the end I contemplate the dead Looking on the outside in This tomb of blood and bone I fight to roam My heart is aching My body is breaking This tomb of bone no longer feels like home When it's all said and done Don't burn me Don't bury me Don't crucify me Feed me to the wolves Glory fading away Rot and decay Evil and filth creeping in Cuz everyone loves a life of sin My heart is aching My body is breaking This tomb of bone no longer feels like home When it's all said and done Don't burn me Don't bury me Don't crucify me Feed me to the wolves Feed me to the wolves and you can wear my bones
4.	Bleed With The Moon 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Come to big Mama You want a shoulder to cry on You want a shoulder to die on Well I give and I give and I give I give when I need my will to live For only a woman can cry And still find her will to survive I bleed with the Moon for my sins But I know that good girls never win Lord knows I'll die to stay alive But this world insists on bleeding me dry I'm shootin' daggers in my mind Won't beg forgiveness or swallow my pride I can read your heart through your eyes Tales of deception and lies How much of myself do I let go? Before I am just another pawn in your "show" I'll use my freedom of will Before it's kill or be killed I bleed with the Moon for my sins But I know that good girls never win Lord knows I'll die to stay alive But this world insists on bleeding me dry
5.	I Am Woman 03:07	lyrics	buy track
If you stop singing you lose your voice If you stop voicing you lose your choice I was told I was too loud I was told I was too proud Spent my whole life tip-toeing around I spent my whole life with my ear to the ground Just to hear, you're all in fear I'm not afraid I'm not afraid anymore Cuz I'm singing my blues away And I'm loud and I am here to stay And I am proud of who I am today I am woman, hear me roar If you stop dreaming you lose your sight If you stop seeing you lose your fight You don't have the right to take my fight Cuz I'm singing my blues away And I'm loud and I am here to stay And I am proud of who I am today I am woman, hear me roar
6.	I Know What It's Like To Die 03:54	lyrics	buy track
I find peace in the darkness I feel good in the bad Always had comfort in knowing Everything comes to an end In this life In this life But when you break through all of your shadows And you see yourself into the light Will you still have comfort in knowing There's no end in sight On the other side On the other side I know what it's like to fly Cuz I know what it's like to get high And I know what it's like to cry Cuz I know what it's like to die Death becomes a part of my shadows He sits by my side Tells me I have comfort in knowing I can enjoy the ride Always feels like I'm running Running out of time This is just the start There's no end in sight on the other side I know what it's like to fly Cuz I know what it's like to get high And I know what it's like to cry Cuz I know what it's like to die
7.	Don't Fear The Darkness 03:35	lyrics	buy track
I know it doesn't seem right They're trying to put a wall between us Boy you gotta fight For your peace and justice I know you feel pain Cuz the whole world's fucking insane I know you hurt I hurt too But don't fear, don't fear, the darkness I'll give you something to believe in when you can't see the light Don't fear, don't fear the darkness I'll give you something to believe in When you don't know what's right I know it seems bad But it's not all bad And just because you're mad Doesn't mean you can't be sad And no matter what you do I will always, always, love you You Don't fear, don't fear the darkness I'll give you something to believe in When you can't see the light Don't fear, don't fear the darkness I'll give you something to believe in When you don't know what's right Believe in your Sun It's here to keep you warm Cherish your earth, because she's where you were born Trust in your heart When the whole world's falling apart Follow your soul Follow your soul Don't fear, don't fear the darkness I'll give you something to believe in When you can't see the light Don't fear, don't fear the darkness I'll give you someone to believe in When you can't sleep at night
8.	Sit And Wonder 04:06	lyrics	buy track
I often sit and wonder what's holding all of this together? I don't mean figures, facts and pies Or what you see with your own eyes I mean the stuff deep down inside The stuff they tell you are lies Do you really think you know, everything there is to know That there's no place you go, when you go Do you really think love is a lie, with your baby by your side If it's true then why cry, ever, at all But I know there's something bigger than you and me Something deeper, something freer than our minds I know love is alive It fills me deep inside And it keeps me here for you, my dear I often sit and wonder What's holding all of me together I feel used and abused, from it all The love that comes and goes The pain I feel nobody knows It's a wonder we survive, at all But I know there's something bigger than you and me Something deeper, something freer, than our minds And I know love is alive It fills me deep inside And it keeps me here for you, My dear
9.	Take These Chains 03:18	lyrics	buy track
I move away, it don't do me no good 3,000 miles don't help like I thought it would Help me, I'm beggin' you please You've got the power, down on my knees Give me some kind of life Leave me be Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Reach out to me, as if from the grave I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave It's my fault for loving you so You were so precious, how could I know? You turned me overnight Poor, poor me Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart I don't owe you anything Why don't you get out of my life? Through it all the memories cling And I can't sleep at night Help me, I'm beggin' you please You've got the power, down on my knees Give me some kind of life Leave me be Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart

about

Singer-songwriter Analisa Six makes her solo debut with new album Shadows of 9. This raw document braids lo-fi garage rock with visions and tales from the other side.

Drawing upon timeless themes—facing mortality, the beauty of the shadow, the journey within, the quest for love—Six seeks personal empowerment as a soul trapped within a woman’s experience.

Throughout these nine songs, she attempts to quench the soul’s thirst, and to reach beyond the confines of reality…to ultimately break free.

“My hope with this album is that it can be a guiding light for anyone going through a dark night of the soul,” Six says. “A reminder that we are all walking this path together, and that the darkness often brings us towards the light within the self if we are brave enough to explore beyond the tragedy that is the ego. And to remember that love rules all.

Shadows of 9 came to me in a lucid vision during a time where I was exploring a spiritual awakening that spawned out of my early days in recovery. I was half in the dream world, and half in the waking world when in my mind's eye I saw a black leather-bound book sitting on a lone piano in an ethereal sky blue room. Etched on the binding in gold foil script read, “Shadows of 9.”

I knew as I awoke fully that this was something I needed to explore within the psyche of my own mind—and that is how Shadows of 9 came to fruition. The irony is that there isn’t a single piano key played on the entire album.

I channeled most of these songs while I was walking around Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California with my canine companions. While there wasn’t a specific musical influence guiding me as I wrote, I am eternally influenced by The Beatles, David Bowie, Judas Priest, early punk, Arctic Monkeys, Shocking Blue, ’60s garage music, and ’70s heavy metal.

Shadows of 9 was recorded in Pat and Susan Kearns’ homestead “The Wild Hare” out in Joshua Tree, California in November of 2018. I am honored that I was able to work with engineer Pat Kearns, and musicians Terry Six and Ian Kashani. I am forever grateful to artist and musician Susan Kearns, who created the front cover artwork for the album."
