["flying ponywings" Subject: little-wings: More Coffeehouse Fun! Hello Winglets Last night at WPI was a great show. There's something about college shows that I really like, most especially when they're at my school, :) There's a different energy to them. Lots of times she trots out new stuff, pimples and braces songs she once called them, and it's just sort of fun in a crazy-in-the-dorm-with- your-friends kind of way. She also takes this opportunity to use big words. The room was a dorm basement where the WPI kids play checkers and other such fun stuff. The tables were covered in purple butcher paper with crayons on the tables, lots of fun. Our table had lots of fun making a poster of all of Kris's song images (Red herring, little wings,...). This doesn't mean we weren't paying attention though. Here's the setlist to prove it :) She started off with a new song I don't think I've heard mentioned before, something about being an island and trying to surface or something and there was sinking in it, lots of sinking. I remember thinking it might be a song in response to Sept. 11. Damn Love Song Mary Lou--It was Interest A Girl In Engineering Day at WPI, she started singing it "Little girl walked out one day and said 'I'm interested in engineering,' " then broke down in laughter and started over. Hummingbird--(that's the name she wants it to take because there are so many other songs called Firefly) Mark joined her on this song, the poor man had larygitis and couldn't sing (or deffend himself) but he played beautifully on his guitars. Cluck Old Hen--the second song in the "Aviary Section" The Train Hurricane "I've always kept the company of clouds, I like my lightening bright, my thunder loud" Tim can you post the words please? Mean Old Wind--"weather section?" Little Wings--Kris was worried that her new guitar was too pretty (it has abalone around the edge of the body, on the fret board and on the head) and it was reflecting all over. "it's like when your mom tries to put you in frilly dresses." We assured her it wasn't too much and that at least it wasn't pink. ***Break*** There was a contest about what the worst thing thing to get on a conversation heart would be. "I'm pregnant" was the final choice. Juice and June Bobbie Lee--trying to get out, get free? Yellow Brick Road Words Fail You Red Herring+the winking guppy --Mark did a two handed dual harmonica attack on the song, they were having a blast on stage. They said that it was going to be a new Olympic sport. Gravity Honeyed Out--it's fun to go to different places to hear her play, it seems like Boston is the only place where people really sing along, especially to this one, which really seems to like many voices and knee slapping percussion. Ain't No Grave--She's been trying to get people to sing along on this one, I might just be silly for getting the words Encore: Open Road That's it. *You can't love six and still play tricks* *Honey* _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 15:50:41 +0000 From: "flying ponywings" Subject: little-wings: Hummingbird words Here are the slightly more accurate lyrics to Hummingbird. Magdalena Hummingbird Kris Delmhorst Here in the dark I won't even make a spark You're the only one who's never seen The way I can light up in shades of gold and green * I'm just a little firefly * I wanna shine for you but I'm too shy * When you come around, I hide my light When you go away, I shine for you all night All night, all night, will I shine for you all night All night, all night, will I shine for you Up there in the sun I'll open up for anyone You're the only one who closes me 'Cause I wanna be the brightest thing you've ever seen I'm just a little dandelion * I wanna blossom but I'm scared of trying So I hide my head when you come into the room * When you go away, I come right out and bloom * I can't look down 'Cause I'm way too high And I can't look up Into your eyes Well I never was afraid to sing out loud In front anybody, any crowd * You make me lose my nerve You feel like something more than I could ever deserve I'm just a little hummingbird * I'd sing but I can't find the words * When you come around I just go still * After you move on, when I know you're gone I'll sing for you the way I always will I will, I will The way I always will I will, I will The way I always will I will, I will The way I always will The way I always will Now I always will.... *clap clap clap* :) *You can't love six and still play tricks* *Honey* _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ------------------------------ End of little-wings-digest V4 #18 *********************************
