about

Amanda describes her new Be in Love EP as “Neo-Soul meets World music, the cultural vibes of the roots along with percussion aspects add to the sophistication in the songwriting.” The music has a 'pop' element because of the type of songwriting she is doing with Grammy Nominated Songwriter and Recording Artist Harriet Schock. As Amanda was developing the sound of the record with producer Andrew Michael Bertrand, they realized that it sounds as though Peter Gabriel and Sade had teamed up to make a record. The pulse of this record is derived from Amanda's love of World music.” Working with producers Raj Ramayya and Mixman Shawn on the Blue Sky track also brought the flavor of world music to the EP. Also appearing on Amanda's new release is Santana's trumpeter Bill Ortiz and Emmy Award Winning film composer Alex Wurman, who greatly enhanced the songs with his string compositions and piano performances.

Track Name: Be In Love Again
written by Amanda Abizaid


1ST VERSE
Ooh, let’s be in love again
I wanna feel your first touch again
You send chills down my spine
When the warmth of your heart is next to mine
Like the very first time
2nd verse
You taught me how to love
Deeper than I had ever heard of
You always believed in my strength
And for that I will go to any length
Pre chorus
Wrap your arms around me, hold me tight
And never let go
Be inside me as long as you like
And free your soul
Chorus
Surround me like you’ve always done
So we can be in love again
make me fall to my knees
With the touch of your hand
you are my everything
With you I’m in love again
be in love with me again
3rd verse
Before you, I felt lost in my life
so much I endured to survive
It left me alone and rejected
But with your love I became protected
4th verse
because of you I believe in me
My faith has grown immensely
I am stronger down to my core
And ready to love you like never before
Pre chorus
So don’t make me wait for your love
mmmmm
we deserve to take our love back in time
To the first day you were mine
Chorus
Surround me like you’ve always done
So we can be in love again
make me fall to my knees
With the touch of your hand
you are my everything
With you I’m in love again
be in love with me again
prechorus
wrap your arms around me hold me tight
and never let go
be inside me as long as you like
and free your soul
oooh, with you, i'm in love again

For here
53, 54
Track Name: I Remember Her Love
written by Amanda Abizaid

1st verse
My grandma Ata had a beautiful smile
A strong, talented woman of style
Even when my cousin couldn’t say her name
She adopted Ata as her claim to fame
2nd verse
A Lebanese girl living in Mexico
She married and built a family of her own
Deeply in love until their lives fell apart
They took a boat to Lebanon and made a new start
Pre Chorus
I remember her love especially
When she used to say to me
Chorus
Ya eyooneh
Ya eyooneh shu helwa shu hatra ya habibti
Ya habibti
Ya eyooneh, shu helwa ya habibti
Shu helwa shu shatra ya habibti
Taa la hone ya habibti
3rd verse
I love to watch Ata’s paintbrush swirl
During summers in Daraoun as a little girl
With every stroke I peeked my head around
And smiled happily without making a sound
4Th verse
I loved her paintings and wish I had more
Years ago they were destroyed in the war
I have memories of Ata on my wall
She continues to be inspiration to us all
Pre Chorus
I remember her love especially
When she used to say to me
Chorus
Ya eyooneh
Ya eyooneh shu helwa shu shatra ya habibti
Ya habibti
Ya eyooneh, shu helwa ya habibti
Shu helwa shu shatra ya habibti
Taa la hone ya habibti
Bridge
When she said this to me
I felt loved
It was her way of telling me
How proud she was
Instrumental
Chorus
Ya eyooneh
Ya eyooneh shu helwe shu shatra ya habibti
Ya habibti
Ya eyooneh, shu helwe ya habibti
Shu helwe shu shatra, ya habibti
Taa la hone ya habibti
Track Name: Goodbye For Now
written by Amanda Abizaid


Living together in Brooklyn was a scene
We were dancers living the dream
Now I’m left with only a memory
And that’s a mystery to me

2ND VERSE
When I heard from my mother you came back to LA
My mind rushed to your graduation day
Where behind my back you laughed at me
And made me the fool of my family

CHORUS
It's a puzzle to me
How you come and go so easily ya, you know
But a one sided love just won't do for me
So I'll say goodbye for now

3RD VERSE
Abandoned for a year with no reply
I’m left with the vision of your frowning eyes
To recall your smile I have to rewind
But can’t trace that far back in time

CHORUS
It's a puzzle to me
How you come and go so easily ya, you know
But a one sided love just won't do for me
So I'll say goodbye for now

BRIDGE
When it all went wrong
Guess I may never know
Can’t even pick up the phone
Just to say hello,

CHORUS
It's a puzzle to me
How you come and go so easily ya, you know
But a one sided love just won't do for me
So I'll say goodbye for now
Track Name: This Woman Stays
written by Amanda Abizaid

1st verse
In a cabin by the woods under brutal winter skies
Her Momma sits on the couch and doesn't speak most times
She walks the children to school on the dirt road every day
Her life shows her no mercy living this way

2nd verse
The sound of trees blowing in the wind
The memory of daddy playing banjo and drinking gin
At seventeen she holds her pain deeply inside
And has no time to be young only time to survive

Chorus
Her dreams are on hold to keep her family alive
She’s like a sparrow and wishes she had wings to fly
Wearing a crown of courage all of her days
The world moves on but this woman stays

3rd verse
She cries herself to sleep with questions every night
There’s no one for miles to help her win this fight
Slowly the truth appears before her eyes
Unveiling the answer as she discovers the lies

Chorus
Her dreams are on hold to keep her family alive
She’s like a sparrow and wishes she had wings to fly
Wearing a crown of courage all of her days
The world moves on but this woman stays

Bridge
Although it’s not the life she chose
She knows her story still needs to be told
She looks around herself and faces
The danger that is about to unfold

Chorus
Her dreams are on hold to keep her family alive
She’s like a sparrow and wishes she had wings to fly
Wearing a crown of courage all of her days
The world moves on but this woman stays
Track Name: My Life And Love For You
written by Amanda Abizaid

chorus
my body houses my life and love for you
my thoughts and words are doors and windows through
which I can reach you
And in my heart there is a secret chest
where I store the feelings I have
for you
1st verse
To stretch my arms
To hold someone again
Mmmm, it would be you
2nd verse
If my lips were to yearn
To kiss the lips of a woman
Mmmm, they would be yours
chorus
my body houses my life and love for you
my thoughts and words are doors and windows through
which I can reach you
And in my heart there is a secret chest
where I store the feelings I have
for you
3rd verse
And if my ears were to hear a voice
It would be yours
If my eyes were to look
into the eyes of a woman
mmmm , they would be yours
bridge
my eyes sometimes, sometimes with tears
lighten the path
that reaches my mind and soul and I
always find you there
chorus
my body houses my life and love for you
my thoughts and words are doors and windows through
which I can reach you
And in my heart there is a secret chest
where I store the feelings I have
for you
