About Me |
|
I'm Elyse. (pronouced Eleese) I sing and write all of my songs. I write on guitar. In the past couple years, I started writing on piano. My Band (Recording & Live) Greg Pajer: Guitar and musical inspiration Blake Paulson: Drums and drive Andrew James: Bass, but AJ of all trades Bruno Grandeza: (live) Guitar and International flavor Complex, Bold and Beautiful... There is nothing contrived about Elyse Haren. She makes music on her own merit, possesses a distinct senstivity and unbridled rocker passion. She grabs you with the sheer power of her voice but keeps you there with her intimacy and honesty. Creating intelligent unforgettable melodies with something to say, her songs overflow with craft and power; underscored with vulnerability and life truth. Elyse was encouraged to sing as a child to develop her lungs because she was severely asthmatic, but she credits listening to "We are the World" as a youngster as the place where she discovered the power of a song. After college, Elyse's life changed at a Fleetwood Mac concert in 2000. As she looked back from the third row at the crowd, she was engulfed by the free flowing energy of the band, the music and the audience. In that moment, Elyse could not ignore the musical voice inside of her any longer. Elyse immersed herself in music; playing guitar and crafting poetic ways of expressing her most uncensored thoughts and feelings. She taught herself recording, piano and a little bass. Recording dozens of song "demos" in and out of her apartment in Los Angeles, she eventually attracting the attention of investors to match her to make her first full length album. During the summer 2007, Elyse met guitarist Greg Pajer, bass player/songwriter Andrew James and drummer, Blake "The Pulse" Paulson. The foursome bonded immediately, encouraging her to play piano live (not only guitar), and inspiring Elyse to write new even better songs. Together they have an absolutely unbeatable work ethic and one vision of rock. Unwilling to settle for anyone but a "hands on" producer, in the Fall of 2007, Elyse set out to find the one who believed in her and the music enough to give the album the attention it deserved. What she didn't know was she already knew him... Trusted friend and producer, Brett Chassen, listened to her new demos and in turn played them for his business partner, Bob Kulick, (Meatloaf, KISS, Motorhead etc...). Inspired by their straight-forward brutal honesty, attention to detail, and can-do, no-bull attitude, the three set out to make the best album possible. What Elyse has accomplished is remarkable; creating a major label quality album with no manager or label. "Shut UP and LIsten!" Elyse's debut album will be available for download at all digital retailers Tuesday, July 15th! Mastered by the uncomparable, Dave Collins, (Linkin Park, Weezer, Soundgarden) the album set to be one of the greatest independent releases of 2008. The Key Club, Molly Malone's, The Dragonfly, The Knitting Factory, The Rainbow, The Viper Room, The Roxy, Zen Sushi & Highland Grounds. WELCOME TO ELYSE TV LIVE with the BAND 2 NEW VIDEOS!!!! Episode 28: "Loving U is Such a DrAg!" Live @ The Key Club Loving You is Such a Drag! Another... Night I am... Sitting here alone with you The fire's still burning But we don't know what we're gonna do I wanna break the wall in two... Are you hiding, deciding As we sit here and contemplate I want to break the wall in two I wanna break it in two... Cause loving you is such a drag... When you don't need anyone Don't you feel like you could have... Love in the midnight sun Or can't you stand... How bright the light shines, How bright the light shines Are you angry and unhappy? Can't be the one to help you now... I want to break the wall into... Am I mistaken and shaken? I've got to trust what I feel now... I want to break the wall in two I wanna break it in two... (Cause there is nothing left to do) Cause loving you is such a drag... When you don't need anyone Don't you feel like you could have... Love in the midnight sun Or can't you stand... How bright the light shines, How bright the light shines You've got to lead by example... You gotta give to receive When you wanted more... Than you thought was ever in store But your shallow words that deceive So, why don't you just do something? Why don't you just do something? Illusive, reclusive... You're here and then you run.... Cause loving you is such a drag... When you don't need anyone Don't you feel like you could have... Love in the midnight sun Cause loving you is such a drag... When you don't need anyone Don't you feel like you could have... Love in the midnight sun Or can't you see... How bright your light shines How bright your light shines How bright your light shines Episode 27: "Out of Time" Live @ The Key Club Out of Time And she woke from what she never was. And she wanted what was never hers... And all the times she tried so hard to believe Was never anything... No go and find her in the ashes of her dream Take this down, the hands of time Turning so fast, but you're not far behind I didn't mean to treat you so unkind... You tell her all the lies words can say Beyond the chaos of yesterday Tell her how much you need her As you walk away She was never anything... Go and find her in the ashes of her dream. Take this down, the hands of time Turning so fast, but you're not far behind I didn't mean to treat you so unkind... Take this down, the hands of time Turning so fast, but you're not far behind I didn't mean to treat you so unkind Or have you find me... When the truth is hard to swallow... So afraid of her shadow, She will have a place to fall, if she wants, Fall if she wants to... She can fall Take this down, the hands of time Turning so fast, but you're not far behind I didn't mean to treat you so unkind... Take this down, the hands of time Turning so fast, but you're not far behind I didn't mean to treat you so unkind... Or have you find me Out of Time And she woke from what she... Episode 14: "Damaged & Untouchable Girl" Live from Molly Malone's Damaged & Untouchable Girl Once again you offer yourself, To someone who cannot love Why do you want the ones, that you can't touch? Don't you know you can't get enough? When you keep me at arms length can Do you see you mistake? I'll never get what I want Cause you are damaged, Don't apoologize, Oh I don't know why I thought you'd let me in.. Cause you feel dirty, And you'll only hurt me With your broken smile... Like the one who damaged you. All at once you offer me, support no strings attached. How can we choose to look at love, and sex as something that cannot mesh... When your arms are around me, the potential energy But you'll never get what you'll never what you want. Cause you are damaged, Don't apoologize, Oh I don't know why I thought you'd let me in.. Cause you feel dirty, And you'll only hurt me With your broken smile... Like the one who damaged you. All you wanted was a soft place to fall No one made you feel that safe... You're the only one who ever matters who treated you... Treated you that way. Once again you offer yourself, It's all a game of trust... Cause you are damaged, Don't apoologize, Oh I don't know why I thought you'd let me in... Cause you feel dirty, And you'll only hurt me With your broken smile... Like the one who damaged... We're all damaged, don't apologize I don't know why I you just can't let me in Cause you feel dirty And you only hurt me With your broken smile Like the one who damaged you Untouchable Girl I never thought I'd feel this way, Now I am left...to fill the pieces of this desire I don't like, feeling like a moment you just had to have I feel so alone from where you are Like trying to catch falling star Cause I never wanted to be The untouchable girl in your perfect world nobody's really playing If the untouchable girl is not even real how come I'm still breakable I know I, can't handle Affection then rejection The kinda, push /pull, tear to pieces that fuels the fire Just had to watch, to watch you walk, walk away But didn't I hear you say I feel so alone from where you are... Cause I never wanted to be The untouchable girl in your perfect world nobody's really playing If the untouchable girl is not even real Where was the point of no return? Didn't I deserve to know You were letting go I gave you every out, I said it out loud Where do the moments go... The moments we never know? You never wanted to be The untouchable one look what you've become Cause you're the one who made me... The untouchable girl just your fantasy world Cause I never wanted to be The untouchable girl in your perfect world Nobody's really playing If the untouchable girl is not even real How come I'm still breakable Breakable, Breakable |
