![]() New Siberia (2012) [ larger cover art ] |
I am your daughter carved out of your stone
I'm the seed that you dropped I'm the marrow of your bone
and I am the one who asked no questions
Designed to love you unconditional
I sprouted my shoots and I waited for your hands
and I laid down my roots but the summer came and went
and I looked to the sun, longed to feel your touch
But you knew nothing of unconditional love
And I rose up like a phoenix rose up from your ash
You just turned your back and I'll never understand
Though I had no armor you just let me go
Into the night to battle with your ghosts
If I could go back there I'd be my own angel
She won't buy you a mockingbird, she's incapable
So hush little baby and close your tired eyes
There are no answers so hush now hushabye
And I rose up like a phoenix rose up from your ash
You just turned your back and I'll never understand
Though I had no armor you just let me go
Into the night to battle with your ghosts
So I gathered up my sorrows and I took them on my tongue
and sang them 'til the morning When the sun came in so strong
I sang them 'til the daybreak and that's how I became strong

Over and Out. ...because of some little references to sexual personalities- it was early 80's |

| Larry_Rosenow (Bend, OR) | Posted: Aug 15, 2012 - 13:02 Yes, I enjoy a soft sweet voice with light music on occasion.....this is just one of those times. Thanks RP. |
| cedrozor | Posted: Aug 15, 2012 - 13:02 Sounds alot like Lene Marlin |
| GarageDragon | Posted: Aug 10, 2012 - 06:30 She's actually whining about how tough she is.
Oh the irony. It hurts. |

I agree. Seems to be a theme with female singers (maybe on RP ) ,melancholy. Gets difficult to listen to. |

| toomanyollys (43.360368,77.020855) | Posted: Apr 26, 2012 - 07:25 Sounds a heck of a lot like Lene Marlin (if anyone remembers her?!)... both vocally and musically, especially some of her non-single/chart tracks... |
| GarageDragon | Posted: Apr 26, 2012 - 07:23 Pretty, but smarmy. |
| rdo (DC) | Posted: Apr 22, 2012 - 15:20 Dontje jes luv her voice. |

| jhorton | Posted: Apr 17, 2012 - 18:35 Poor Antje, lovely voice, but just mediocre minus songwriting. " I rose up like a phoenix." " That's how I became strong." Can't write a song without using the pronouns, " I," and " You," fifty times each. |
| DaveInVA (In a hovel in effluent Damnville, VA) | Posted: Apr 17, 2012 - 18:31 I thought she sounded a lot like Solas in this song and sure enough it turns out they've done 5 of her songs..... |
| eswiley2 | Posted: Apr 12, 2012 - 10:49 Straight to my iTunes wishlist after 30 seconds.... |
| Creat | Posted: Apr 08, 2012 - 19:50 Songs like this are why I love RP, went ahead and bought the album of course I seriously doubt I would've ever even heard of her otherwise. Thank you! |

| dalebryan (Central Florida) | Posted: Mar 25, 2012 - 14:03 Kinda sounds like a cross between Suzanne Vega and Edie Brickell. Yet another great artist I've discovered on RP. Thanks, Bill! |
| cohifi (Denver) | Posted: Mar 21, 2012 - 22:37 Nice Google project here! |
| sajitjacob (Christchurch NZ) | Posted: Mar 19, 2012 - 14:33 That was lurverly. Another great new tune brought to you by RP. |
