To Hear Joie's Songs:

Before asking for the gmail account!
Before asking for the gmail account, which is an account with all the Joy songs, you have to have 50 postson this board. This is not to because we don't wan tto share songs but because we want people to show their support for Joy! She deserves it and I'm sure everyone here agress! After you have 50 posts here, we are more than happy to give you the gmail account. You are not allowed to post the gmail account info on any official message boards, as that is how we lost our first gmail account this way. It is not meant that you will just download the songs and then not buy Joy's new CD once it is released so please show your support!

Most people on this board are insane Joie fans and pretty much all have Joie's songs and are willing to share them with other Joie fans. If you want to hear Joie's songs then the best thing to do is PM one of the regular posters and ask them if they'd be willing to send you the songs, which im sure they will be. Alternatively you can post a request in this thread, but those can sometimes be missed.

Note: Just because one downloads her songs from her Come On Home CD does not excuse one from buying it (if you don't already have it) when it becomes available on her official site. We want to support Joie.

heart packed in ice

heart packed in ice

Shiver

Wade in the water
Find something real
Like mountains in the ocean
Something other than beneath me
I can feel
Like my body in the river
Make me shiver all over
Make me shiver all over
Make me shiver all over with love

Wade in water
Who’s that young girl
Dressed in red
Wading in the water
Must be the children
That Moses led, said
God’s gonna trouble you

heart packed in ice

Never Gonna Be

Everybody else knows how this goes
Everybody knows how wide and how much and how far
Everybody's got my number now
Maybe I can find a way out
I've been running too long on this shift
And I've been keeping tabs on myself
And now I'm cutting close in on my limit
And I think I heard somebody say

You're never gonna be anybody else
You're never gonna see until you see yourself
So come on come on see how it goes
Come on come on take a deep breath
And don't let go

EEK I'm sorry I posted all of these in a row!

~Maz~

^^ Fall 2006, although I don't think there is a specific date..

steffi23

I LOVE the new songs. Shiver sounds so old school gospel and it's so CATCHY, and te lyrics to Never Gonna Be are just beautiful. Quicksand sounds lovely too - I love how these three sound so different : Each and every song is its own and nobody can label her into a specific genre.
