Louise and Annette (2023 Mix)

about

Originally planned/recorded for Ghostly Oceans in 2016.

A lot of folks may know Louise Brooks, but Annette Hansahw is actually a huge influence on me. Listen to her.

"As a matter of fact, I disliked all of [my records] intensely. I was most unhappy when they were released. I just often cried because I thought they were so poor, mostly because of my work, but a great deal, I suppose, because of the recording. [...] I disliked the business intensely. I loathed it, and I'm ashamed to say I just did it for the money. I loved singing, you know, jamming with the musicians when it isn't important to do, but somehow or another I was terribly nervous when I sang. [...] You just have to be such a ham and love performing, and I happen to be an introvert, and I just wasn't happy singing, and I wasn't happy with my work as I said." - Annette Hanshaw

To Bobbi, wherever you are, from a past Eric, from a new Eric that revived this relic.

lyrics

You
You're like Louise and Annette
As good as it gets
But just a little better

You?
Oh, well you'e number one
Yeah, you
Yeah, you
I said you
Yeah, you

You
You're like Louise and Annette
But I will bet
That you could sing smoother, yeah
And you
You paint such pretty pictures
Little rainbow mixtures
You chromotone soother
Ah, you
I said you
I love you
(I said you, I love you, oh God)

You?
You're number one
Efficiently run
You gorgeous go-getter
