Last Long, Blue Day
Lyrics and music by Catherine Scholz, copyright 2008
Last long, blue day.
Last longer than damp night.
Last longer than human promise.
Last a long time…
And If I could change your mind
I’d buy you a little time and
Find you a peaceful place inside
To unwind.
Shake hard, blue sky.
Shake harder than shame.
Shake the blues right out of yourself.
Shake harder.
If I could change your mind
I’d buy you a little time and
Find you a peaceful place inside
To unwind.
Hungry for humor and mystery.
The Hammer and the Chimes
Lyrics and music by Catherine Scholz
Your eyes took me to places I’d longed to know.
Goodbyes are tearful faces afraid to show.
Memories of the time we spent
Cannot be taken from my mind.
Perhaps the only purpose we had
Was listening to the hammer and the chimes.
Then our fears got in the way.
It’s clear that I had to pay.
Would you admit that we both had a part to play?
Our fears got in the way.
So many things I’d like to say
Without my words getting in the way
There’s so many things I’d like to do
If only I could get through to you.
Your eyes took me to places I’d longed to go.
Goodbyes are tearful faces letting go.

What listeners have said about the music of Catherine Scholz…
“It is rare an artist comes along… where their music, their lyrics, dive deep through to your soul. Catherine Scholz is one of those artists…” – Linda Savitz
{Her}…music evokes so much emotion and beauty…” – Elisa Parker, KVMR DJ
“Cool, but not detached; passionate, but not preachy; intelligent, but not smarter-than-thou stylish alt-folk… informed alternately by Shawn Colvin’s eye for detail, Joni Mitchell’s ear for melody and a rootsy, homespun feel. The purity of her lullaby voice is framed by tasteful, understated playing and the overall effect is like a warm bed on a summer Sunday…” – Paul in the UK
“Warm, beautiful, straight to the heart…” -Barbara Tanksley
“There is something about Catherine’s music that seems to break down barriers… Her voice has a rich, real presence and friendliness… it’s also that her songs are as forthright and guileless as they are absorbing and alluring. This music may surprise you in how it opens you up. Listen… and see if you connect with this artist. You don’t have to try very hard. You don’t have to try at all.” – Bob Villwock
“Full body deep meaningful, yet soft and gentle, while being soothing and easy to listen to… pleasure and bliss…” – Sunwolf
“Reminiscent of the great folk singers that I grew up with, Catherine’s new CD is filled with heartfelt, emotionally provocative lyrics… With every listen, the songs keep taking me deeper toward a joyous, peaceful state of being…” – Tom Gill
“…Catherine’s songs communicate deep emotion characteristic of a woman searching for the maturing parts of herself. Love, loss, and meaning are presented in a pastiche that is true and irresistible. Her music speaks to all of mankind with gentleness and truth.” – MaryAnn Ferolo
