Who are you, Elle Mary?
Our songwriting project for the last month has been an album-lengthy Murder Ballad Song-Cycle epic, called "The Manna Sustains," to be performed by our new duo The Manna Tease. The songwriting, storytelling creative process is winding down, so here's a first sneak peak at one of the songs (which can be leaked without giving away any of the twists in the plot.) Miss Minnie Molly Mary & I took the Amtrak California Zephyr train to Truckee yesterday, & we got bumped up to first class, where we drank mimosas & practiced our tunes. Song no. VIa from The Manna Sustains: "Who are you, Elle Mary?", solo railway rehearsal:
Please "like" our new band The Manna Tease on facebooks here.
I'm sorry, I botched a key word in the lyrics, 'gutter' should be 'trucker.' Here are the lyrics & chords tho, to this short song:

F F7 C
Who are you, Elle Mary?
F F7 D/F# G
How far have you followed me?
amin C/E F D/F#
My surprise at your disguise.
C/G G
A trucker whore or so much more?
Bb F C

We will start premiering The Manna Sustains at some point, hopefully soon!

Lovely James, you should record all your videos in moving trains, something very romantic about trucker whores in first class. Though who's to say, this Elle May, might just break the mold.? A?
She may be so much more... Thanks Jordan.
i really want to see your re-emergence from the tunnel
