Bruce Woods Michelle Lordi invites you .. grabs you and keeps you. She creates an atmosphere where she share life, love and the blues..
she vocally controls the narrative with her voice and subsequently controls your soul. If you meet her or see her live... you’ll find that her music (extending to her accompaniments and band) is so unique and personal.

__kla At once as traditional as a set of Decca recordings from the thirties and as fresh as this morning, this lovely quartet of tracks evinces a combination of jazzy and indie sensibilities. Michelle's voice is crystalline clear and possessed of mellow fruitfulness, like Keats's autumn. War's guitar is slinkly, fluid, and evocative. Supple stand-up bass is present, too. A sparkling collection of songs. Favorite track: RED HOUSE BLUES (LORDI // WAR).

The Way The Tigers Do I'm here playing video games and took a listen. Your music stirred up memories of when I was about 8 or 9 in the late 70's listening to my mom's jazz and Patsy Cline albums. I love that feeling. thank you. 💖 Favorite track: RED HOUSE BLUES (LORDI // WAR).

Before Sleeping baby can you hear him? Please come close to me I hear a wingbeat at my window know you’re leaving me We speak in tongues we speak of days please come close to me Night is inked across your face you’re so far away I do not want what I had before ( x4) Touch your hand dear can you hear me Please come close to me I dreamt of moths and owls- i’m knowing That you’re leaving me Miles away still hear your breathing Please come close to me Were together where you’re going I’m so far away I do not want what I had before ( x4) I know its trying but I need you to stay I know you’re trying but words get in the way Please believe me when I say I do, I do not want what I had before ( x4)

Red House Blues I dream again of a red house Where roses curve around the door A door with children running through To go and play out in the yard A yard with apple trees so green That bear a fruit as sweet as love A love that grows up in the house Where roses curve around the door A door that leads me to my love A love that’s only in a dream A dream again of a red house Where roses curve around the door A dream again of a red house Where roses curve around the door A door that opens to a road Where grasses blow and daisies bloom A road that winds around a hill And disappears and I can see That you have gone and left again You’ve gone and left me all at sea A thousand lives I’d wait or more if sleep would only bring to me A dream again of a red house Where roses curve around the door

I know a place not far from here It's not far away, love, but if you come I know a place where we'll be alone And we'll talk of life, the way love used to be I know a place not far away And we'll find a way through the city streets We'll find a way through the mad rushing crowd And we'll talk about the way love used to be I know a place not far from here It's not far away, love, but if you come I know a place where we'll be alone And we'll talk about the way love used to be
