The One

by Tammy Haider

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Crystalline Melbourne songwriter Tammy Haider’s debut solo album, The One, is an inter­play of the organic and the experimental; a humour of the mind, an ache of the heart, drawing the listener close like a confidant. Recorded and produced by Andrew Bencina, mixed by renowned engineer Andy Stewart (Gotye, Brighter Later, Paul Kelly ) , this new work is highly unfiltered; Haider's autobiographical epiphanies ringing more deeply true as they ascend to a higher plane.

    "A beautiful and touching album" - WITH A MESSY HEAD

    “Wry, dry, wistful and a touch funny, HAIDER’S musical settings
    suit her musings on life, love and laughter beautifully”-
    JONATHAN ALLEY, 3RRR

    “TAMMY HAIDER is a magic maker….music with
    a devotionary beauty and elegant honesty to
    nestle deeply, slowly, and surely into your
    heart” - SOPHIE MILES, MISTLETONE RECORDS

    CD comes in a lovely gloss slip card case with photos by Rebecca Rocks and artwork by Luke Fraser

You move when he moves It gives me the blues Who am I to judge? All that I've been guilty of Magnetic pull Oh to be loved, oh to be loved, oh to be loved You move when he moves Magnetic pull

You think it’s funny now he is my honey Oh, but I like the way he is genuine Used to be so easy, when love seemed so light and breezy I'd get lost in a stranger's face, for some calm It’s like living in a hole Where no one wants to go Taking a holiday somewhere cold and strange The way that I react - it’s a maze and it’s a trap - to every little thing and it’s not comforting, to me Used to be so easy Now I can’t even please me And I’m not sure that this is what I want It’s like living in a hole Where no one wants to go Taking a holiday somewhere cold and strange The way that I react - it’s a maze and it’s a trap - to every little thing and it’s not comforting, to me You think it’s funny now he is my honey Oh, but I like it here in his arms All of the time you were on my mind All of the time you were on my mind Oh you’re so fine all of the time All of the time you were on my mind
3.
I don’t wanna say it Spoil the fun Are we gonna make it, or will you run? It’s good when we’re together I like you the best But life is a mystery and you’re my greatest test Are we gonna make it? You can never be sure People come together but someone always wants more Sometimes everything just has to fall apart It shouldn’t be hard to know what you are I don’t wanna play it like I’ve always done Make like I’m ok with it, when i wanna hide and run It’s good when we’re together I like you the best but I can’t second guess what will happen next No, I can’t second guess what will happen next
4.
Someone steals my phone, I don't know why Someone steals my phone, I don't know why Someone steals my phone, I don't know why I cry? Always trying to look for the good Keep my bag shut like I should Always trying to look for the good I don't know why, I don't know why I try? You're so straight, you're so strange I'm on a bender I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed to remember Someone steals my phone, I don't know why Someone steals my phone, I don't know why Someone steals my phone, I don't know why I cry? You're so straight, you're so strange I'm on a bender I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed to re... Memories are boss and you can just get lost You can just get lost You can just get lost

Steady 04:30
This world won’t stop for me It rolls by my window while I sleep and I eat At a table built for one I’m steady, steady on my feet but they are gaining ground around you now There’s a shadow on my path, you can’t see Every time I make a start I crumble at some poor mans knees At a table fit for two, will I always lose? Steady on my feet they are within your reach Who are you leaning on? Who are you thinking of? Who are you taking home tonight? Who are you leaning on? Don’t you know where you belong? Who are you taking home tonight?
6.
Don't Exist 02:46
It would be so nice to lay down With you in your bed in the daytime But you don’t exist at all You don’t exist at all In my dreams, I get by Waiting for a change What I don’t realise is I’m changing all the time My hair is growing brittle and my skin is not so tight It would be so nice to lay down Without a thought of tomorrow Like I don’t exist at all, I don’t exist at all
7.
Not the milk for my tea, or the coral for your reef It’s a state not my fate You’re not dreaming of me Not the light for your shade We’re like rare lemonade I’ve made my peace You’re not dreaming of me Could we just be friends pretend this didn’t happen? Could we just be friends ? Could we just be friends pretend this isn’t happening Not the line from a song that you’d get off on It would have just brought me grief You’re not dreaming of me Not the light for your shade We’re like rare lemonade It’s a state not my fate You’re not dreaming of me I’ve made my peace You’re not dreaming of me Could we just be friends pretend this didn’t happen? Could we just be friends? Could we just be friends pretend this didn’t happen? Could we just be friends?
8.
Stormy Bay 03:10
All the light it shines upon you All the light it shines All the love I have I’d give you But you can’t be mine And I crash like a wave Always knew that I would suit you, after that first night Other people will pursue you and I’ll make like I’m ok with it And there is so much I can take, when you don’t feel the same All the light it shines upon you I’m drawn to your face We are magnets that is certain That’s why I have to stay away from you And there is nothing more to say Because you don’t feel the same And I crash like a wave into a stormy bay
9.
Manfriend 03:27
I see you hanging with your friends I know I got you wrong again I take the blame you still come running But you're not the one I wanna be loving Why'd the calm I have inside leave me when I am by your side? I call your name but it's not funny Cos you're not the one I wanna be hugging I'll get where I'm going in the end With or without a man for a friend I'll play the game see who come's running Wait for someone I wanna be loving I'll get where I'm going in the end With or without a man for a friend
10.
Tired of waking up Calling your own bluff Pour another cup and tell me what’s on your mind Going gets so rough When you’ve had enough of this life We’re all getting drunk But I’m not that young, so I’ll tell you what’s on my mind I’ve had enough I’ve had enough of this life Overthinking my own deal Talking shit about how I feel There is nothing more real Bored of showing up Not being good enough To keep a man by my side I’ve had enough I’ve had enough of this life Pour another cup Cursing my bad luck I’ve had enough I’ve had enough of this life
