lyrics
“When You Decide to Love Someone”  © 2015, 2001 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)  All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by  Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick
Verse One:  You're like the sun hidden behind the clouds Your every move is cool and I'm somehow captured by magic when I look in your eyes
Verse Two: If I could tear down all the walls you built Let a little light down on your window seal then maybe you would see it's worth a try
Chorus:  When you decide to love someone  the moon will shine and the sun will come When you decide to love someone I know they'll never let you go
Verse Three:  If you get restless when the night gets cold, Feeling a little lonely for someone to hold And some unknown feeling takes you by surprise
Verse Four:  I'll be there to lend an ear You can tell me all your fears And all the clouds will clear right out of the sky
(Repeat Chorus)    Bridge: Our time here is fleeting, fighting the fears from day to day But the demons and the ghosts will go away...
(Repeat Chorus) Ad-lib: I'll never let you go

Making New Music for the New Year!

Well, now that the holidays are behind us, I think it is time to focus on making new music! I'm currently working on a great song that I wrote with my brother Hoyt called 'Tonight'! Nick's already laid down the vocals for it, and I personally feel its his best vocal performance to date. But, of course, ultimately you will be the judge of that. (smile emoticon) So stay tuned! 

For those of you that might remember the song we wrote called, I Won't Say Adieu, it has a similar vibe! It has a big chorus that is sure to have a universal appeal! xoxo ~ Carly

Mad About You (Outtake Photo)

considered for the cover art of the single.

I thought that it was a pretty cool alternative take and wanted to share it with you!

"I mastered this release without the heavy use of compression and limiters in hopes to preserve it's musical dynamics. Ultimately, giving the track more head room to properly breath. I personally feel that the 'loudness war' is over. Musical dynamics wins every time in my book." ~ Carly Emerick

“I Can't Wait for Christmas”
© 2015 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by
Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick

Verse One:
It's already December so season's greetings
I'm in my vintage ugly Christmas sweater
to hide all the cookies I've been eating

Lead In 1:
I can't wait to see the snow on the ground
And I can't wait for you to see all the presents I found

Chorus:
No I can't wait for Christmas
I can't wait to feel the magic like it used to be,
Unwrapping presents makes a kid out of me

No I can't wait for Christmas
Hanging up the bulbs on the Christmas tree
We'll have so much fun!
I can't wait for Christmas

Verse Two:
With each day it's getting closer, drinking eggnog at night
Let's drive around the neighborhood and see the festive Christmas lights

Lead In 2:
Oooooh I can't wait to see the snow on the ground (Fa-la-la-la-la)
Making snow angels in my winter coat, yeah it's comin' around

Chorus:
No I can't wait for Christmas
I can't wait to feel the magic like it used to be,
Unwrapping presents makes a kid out of me

No I can't wait for Christmas
Watching the Grinch on TV
We'll have so much fun!
I can't wait for Christmas

Bridge:
I can't wait to sing along to the songs we love to hear
like Silent Night, Jingle Bells, and Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer

Chorus:
No I can't wait for Christmas
I can't wait to feel the magic like it used to be,
Unwrapping presents makes a kid out of me

No I can't wait for Christmas
Watching Christmas Story and baking cookies
We'll have so much fun!
I can't wait for Christmas

Ad-Lib:
Wow-oh-oh -oh- Ho-ho-ho-ho

Verse One:
Ooowl, we're all together now, we're hanging out and doin' it with style
It's what we came to do, we're party people through and through

Lead In 1:
Champagne is over flowin' and we've got more money to spend
The music's hoppin', no we ain't stoppin'
I don't want this party to end!

Chorus:
Let's dance all night, let's dance all night
Let's move our feet 'till the morning light
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Let's dance all night

Verse Two:
Hey, the songs you want to play are getting heard when you're tippin' the dj
So get into the groove, get on down cuz your body's made to move

Lead In 2:
Rollin' out to after hours, drinking doubles with my best friend
The music's hoppin', no we ain't stoppin'
I don't want this party to end!

 (Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Out on the street, we've gotta kick it to the beat (kick it to the beat)
Break out your favorite song, (break out) Let's dance all night long!

(Breakdown Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)

Alice's Last Halloween is based off of a screenplay that we started writing 10 years back but never finished. So we found it only fitting, being songwriters at heart, that we try to tell you the story in a 4 and a half minute pop song!

It's a story song about an urban legend, that we heard as kids, that Halloween candy can sometimes be tampered with in order to cause harm to those who eat it. All of this is centered around a character we created named Alice Crowley.

Alice's Last Halloween was composed in the key signature of Ebm Minor.

lyrics
“Alice's Last Halloween”
© 2015 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by
Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick

Verse One:
She looked like an older version of Bette Davis or Liz Taylor
Yeah she could have been a movie star
but in this town no one gets too far
It was 1982, I was probably seven then,
We lived in a little town called Monongahela

Chorus:
It was Alice's last Halloween
I saw the knife and I heard her scream
The neighborhood was an angry mob
A museum of the macabre

Alice's last Halloween
A wicked witch with an evil scheme
Now children of the Mon Valley
are haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Crowley

Verse Two:
A cold night in late October carving pumpkins on All Hallows Eve
I was dressed as Bozo the Clown
Trick or tricking as the sun went down
She was passing out home baked goods, to the children of the neighborhood
It was a night that I'll always remember

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse Three:
Found a needle in my candy apple, broken glass in my Hershey's bar
My sister Helen found a razor blade in the cookies that Alice made
The word spread like wild fire, urban legend turned living hell
What exactly happened that night, Alice never lived to tell

(Repeat Chorus)

Ad-Lib:
Alice's last Halloween, ghosts and goblins kill the queen.
Alice's last Halloween, Alice's last Halloween
