about

For those who have yet to come...

lyrics

Oh Lily you never knew me
But I knew I loved you from the start
Your existence was the best that happened to us
But you were birthed from a farce

Your hair was curled by the ocean
Your skin the color of sand
And if you remember to love like your mother
You would never be here again

Oh lily oh lily oh lily
Don’t leave
me alone now
You have grown now
Though we never believed
That Lily oh Lily oh Lily
You’d live
But we needed
To believe it
In order to give
All our love

Oh Lily I loved your daddy
But we cruelly learned loves not enough
To keep you happy, to keep you hungry
And your life’s not my work of art

But sleep now in our beating cradles
And live eternal in our songs
And if you remember to love like your father
You will live in love forever long

Oh lily oh lily oh lily
Don’t leave
me alone now
You have grown now
Though we never believed
That Lily oh Lily oh Lily
You’d live
But we needed
To believe it
In order to give
All our love

So lily, you’ll never lose me
Because you live in memory
Of what could be when your beauty
Finally is released from the sea

about

MeMo image

MeMo New York, New York

MeMo was once just a girl and her piano, but through the grace of the amazing musicians around her a new creative baby was born. MeMo and Friends is now a band of 5-9 roving, feral misfits influenced by anything from Detroit's Motown to the music inside an Irish pub. Think Fiona Apple on a light cocktail of amphetamines and prozac.
