This Dish 04:15
This dish has been brewin’ & stewin’ Stewin’ & brewin’ for oh so long …mmmmm Concentrated juices, they smell so fine It’s a rich feast of freedom Served sublime, oh so sublime Not quite done yet There’s so much to do Before we all get consumed CHORUS You’re going drink my wine While I sip on this fantasy of mine You know you’re gonna eat from my vine So baby please indulge me A little of this and a little of that Casting voodoo charms on your path Drive the Devil to a higher ground Ya that’s the way to go Sweet little love potion we can’t deny It’ll cure what ails us if we just give it a try Sip it down, nice & slow Seems as though a spell has been c Cast upon us Asking for mercy won’t help none, No, no, no, no no we’re done CHORUS + Indulge, indulge, indulge me

Lucid Eyes 05:37
Back on the water again I’m tryin’ not to sink But in a blink, we're down Strugglin’ to find my way I decide this is what I must pay To put out the fire burnin’ inside And I wonder what has led me here Then I realize you’re carrying A whole lot of gear So I either sink Or kick my way out of this mess The choice is clear CHORUS So I’m going to let you go And find my ride with lucid eyes So let me rise, oh let me rise With lucid eyes You’ve built a wall, Oh so tall I can only climb so high So cut away your mask All I want to do is bask In the light of your soul Yet trials & tribulations Of miscommunication Have brought us here So we either sink Or kick our way out of this mess The choice is clear CHORUS SOLOS
3.
Lucky Charm 03:54
Here we are Stuck in the middle of chaos Witnessing a world gone mad How do you make sense of nonsense? I don't know if it can be done CHORUS So where are you going Lucky Charm? I'll ride this wave in your arms Here and now we'll find our way Through this pain to glide upon The magic carpet We'll ride the magic carpet high in the sky So you think you have the answers I'll tell you what I know We have to listen up people Compassionate support for our most vulnerable And zero tolerance for hard drugs,guns and war CHORUS SOLOS Here we are stuck in the middle of... Chaos, chaos, chaos...

Decide 03:41
What do you want from me? What do you need? What do you want from me? Oh what do you need? So c'mon over and tell me what's on your mind I'll be asking you if you take too much time What do you want to see? Who do you want to be ya? What do you want to see? Who do you want to be? Cuz it's up to you To decide what is best You can take it or leave it Oh that is the test SOLOS

Catchin' Up 04:44
Hello my love, I’ve come from afar To see you perform in a bar You light up my day, the way you swoon and sway Singing your heart out Now I’ve come to the second verse If I say too much you may think of me as perverse But then again I’m pretty sure we see eye to eye So I think we need to buy some time catchin’ up (I’ll tell you why in a moment) Ya I think we need to buy some time catchin’ up We knew each other long, long ago Another lifetime, you’re rooted in my soul Dreaming , dreaming the night away We tended our herd ya I know it sounds absurd Built a house out of rock and sod Had a few babies, ya they loved to ride wild Just like you and I do now So I think we need to buy some time catchin’ up Ya I think we need to buy some time catchin’ up Now I’m lying here wide awake Present day consumes my pay Everything’s complicated Oh so over-rated I want to return to a time of simple pleasure Making music together on the bay Watching the tide roll in and roll away So I think we need to buy some time catchin’ up Ya I think we need to buy some time catchin’ up x3

Bless Bless 03:39
She looks around and wonders where he’s gone A dusty trail left behind So she stumbles along, grabs a cab Hopes grace under pressure forms in her Lab Cuz the chemistry of complex circumstance Is veiled in gossamer The sun has set and a new moon is met Traveling light and solo CHORUS Bless bless oh baby Quicksilver knows you are a red rose Bless bless oh sugar baby We’ll see you on another plane Where we shall surely meet again… So a sweet, little bird shared a song Now she doesn’t feel so alone Grace returned and a potion emerged One to behold Now they await on a rolling hill Holding hands and standing still The water is calm but not for long Their dream moving with ebb & flow CHORUS SOLOS CHORUS One day they will emerge Fulfilled with love & courage So for now this story has no ending
7.
You can’t love me But you won’t leave me At least not now so we’ll dance our silent vow You always find my way Now I’m dreaming what you say Casting hopes only leads to upward slopes Your eyes lock with mine Now I’m wondering when we’ll dine It’s been a long, long time CHORUS I’m patient my dear So I’ll be waiting near Skating on thin ice, rolling the dice Looking for something To keep me warm Through this storm SOLOS You dare to jest But you know I know what’s best True love I’ll be your sweet dove You see we’ve sailed Together mighty ships So now we must learn from the chorus of our lips CHORUS
8.
It came to me, in the moment I don’t know how or why It’s bold as love Not afraid to live, get down & funky I think I found it you Though maybe baby, you called for me When love comes will I be ready for you? Cuz you’re a midnight rambler In the deep, dark night I’ll walk on water, swim against the tide To breathe in your sweet light I could groove on with you forever Feedin’ my soul ‘til dawn Swimming in a pool of fire Tryin’ to figure out why I’m not gettin’ burned? Oh we'll never know When love comes Will you be ready for me? Cuz I’m a tight rope dancer Juggling in the sky While making love pie Passion only burns when unrealized So live your love & do no harm Soar where the stars illuminate your way When love comes Will we ever be ready? I don’t know baby So let’s try it on SOLOS When love comes Will we ever be ready? I don’t know baby So let’s get it on It came to me, in the moment I don’t know how or why

Come Along 05:29
A silver stream lights my way Ya she’s high in the sky tonight Pulling tides to where we began It is here I’ll uncover you Buried deep in the sand I’ll wash away the grit And promise to let you Drink from my cup CHORUS I’m going to find you, somewhere, somehow Oh trust me babe, I want to take you home Oh back home Only if you want to begin again Let us rise from our ashes Oh come along for a ride with me Do you ever wonder why The road is so twisted? Perhaps it is not at all But just our perception Sometimes we don’t know Where to go or where to turn That’s OK, our job now Is to move in time CHORUS Now the sun is rising Casting light on our path A bottle washes upon the shore Now you see what’s inside I’ve held onto this gem For way too long Now I’m ready to set it free I’ll trust whatever you believe I just had to let you know Oh I just had to let it go, let you go If you want to begin again Let us rise from our ashes Oh come along for a ride with me
10.
They claim to have a magic bag Ya they may have a magic bag With the promise of a few snags Cuz they only tell ya What they want you to hear Feeding your ears with their fears So leave your mind behind Just leave your mind behind They hope you’ll follow along blind Where they go, no one knows Where they go, no one knows No one knows where they go CHORUS But I’m a little vixen Anticipating action In search of satisfaction Seems we need a revolution Cuz this house of cards Has lost its guards Oh it’ fallin’ fast Jaded by the shade Ya I’m jaded by the shade of this raid upon our lives My mojo’s been sacked Oh my mojo’s been sacked By a stab in the back So I’m heading straight on home Ya I’m heading straight on home Heading straight on home to Mama Cuz Mama knows best Cuz Mama knows best Ya Mama, she’ll set the course CHORUS We expect the best We expect the best But we’re denied, disappointed If we dare If the flavor is right I could go all night With a plan of what to do, when & why But are you ready Jack? Are you ready to listen? Oh I’m not so sure about that! So my voice is all alone, Ya my voice feels all alone So come on by, let’s chill & formulate CHORUS x 2 Gonna bring it straight on back Gonna bring it straight on back Bring it straight on back To where we began

about

Rooted in the genres of blues, rock & pop, GRATiTUDE reveals diverse songwriting skills saturated with universal themes of love, angst & social issues we can all relate to. Recording live off the floor allowed for unpretentious, honest interpretations of Ms. Maxine’s songwriting as well as creative ‘in the moment’ genius to surface. GRATiTUDE offers something for everyone & is the result of years of personal & social exploration as Ms. Maxine honoured her muse along a journey with many hills & valleys. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did in its creation. GRATiTUDE is our first LOVE.
