Night Falls Into Morning
Christchurch singer, writer and teacher Lisa Tui has finally recorded her long-awaited first album of original material. Renowned for the sheer volume and elasticity of her voice, her scorching sound soars to ecstatic heights and swoops effortlessly back down to torchy husk in her songs of return, renewal and quiet joy.
These are songs of grown-up life; the inexplicable loneliness of the wee small hours being expiated when sleep finally comes; the driving through darkness to a family waiting; the unexpected flashes of attraction for a comfortably familiar partner.
She genre-hops with abandon; from jazz funk to soulful ballads and into experimental chordworks with her brother, Nikora Jonathan on lead guitar. The laid-back near-reggae feel and intricacy of both lyrics and harmony has the combined effect of soothing the listener while at the same time intriguing the mind.
Her confidence and exquisite spirit shine through each of these pieces; this is a finely honed performer at the top of her game.
Lyrics
I wrack my brain hoping I'm not insane, and the night falls into morning and I'm lonely, I'm lonely. You fall to sleep and slumber deep, into a world of wonder and you're not lonely, you're just not lonely. And I won't trouble fate, I won't believe that its too late. I won't believe in fairy tales in nightingales not any more, not anymore. I fall to sleep and slumber deep into a world of wonder and I'm not lonely, I'm just not lonely, not anymore, not anymore
