I see the way you look at me, I see it in your eyes, I hear it in the way you speak, its written in your smile Oh please don’t go falling, please, Please don’t go falling for me Just because I’m single, just because I’m free, Doesn’t mean I’m any man’s or that I wanna be I could take you home tonight and we could fool around But frankly I would rather wait for something more profound Oh please don’t go falling, please, Please don’t go falling for me Oh please don’t go falling, please Please don’t go falling for me I’m happy in my own space, don’t put me in a mold, Don’t need you to complete me, cos I’m already whole Nevertheless I’m open, I’ll take it in my stride But if we meet it’s a two way street, We’re travelling side by side Oh please don’t go falling, please, Please don’t go falling for me I’m a happy soul, I’m just a walkin this road, I’m a happy soul, I’m just a walkin this road I’m a happy soul, I’m just a walkin this road, I’m a happy soul, I’m just a walkin this road

Who Knows? 03:22
Blues eyes and boots on my lounge room floor,You surprised me like no one I’d known before We laughed we loved and we wanted more, Now we’re staring out the back door Who knows if you’re my tomorrow and Who knows where this will all lead Who knows if we’ll be here at dawn, Who knows? Who knows? God knows just how much I love you and I know that you love me too To know just how to turn the tide, Now we’re shaking on the inside Cos there’s talk of a landslide God knows that I’ve got my issues and, You know that you’ve got your own Do you s’pose we could meet in the middle, You know it wasn’t always this way And ‘round the corner could be better days We know this wasn’t how we were, Do we know just what this love is worth? We know this wasn’t how we were, Do we know just what this love is worth? Who knows? Who knows? Who knows if you’re my tomorrow and Who knows where this will all lead Who knows if we’ll be here at dawn, Who knows? Who knows?

Watch the movie scripts unfold, Flowers blooming, stories told Secret garden paths of gold, Now, is all we need to hold Sweet Joy and Pain, Place you come from’s the same Like the sun and the rain, As we cry, so we’ll smile again Evening ends, the sun comes up. We live our lives. Our well’s are dug We dig them deep. And fill them up, With joy and peace, And hope and love Sweet Joy and Pain, Place you come from’s the same Like the sun and the rain, As we cry, so we’ll smile again Sweet Joy and Pain, Place you come from’s the same Like the sun and the rain, As we cry, so we’ll smile again Sweet Joy, Sweet Pain

Mstery 03:12
I’m back here again, learning these lessons, Been living and learning cos I didn’t listen I’ve taken for granted, lived the illusion, The light falls away and I’m back in the womb Singing Oh oh, Ooh Eee ah Oh - Oh oh ah Ha-hallelujah Oh oh, Ooh Eee ah Oh - Singing Oh Oh Oh oh She’s a beautiful wide eyed hot headed tongue tied Contradictory, Mstery Mstery (mstery), Mstery (mstery) Mstery (mstery), Mstery (mstery), Mstery (mstery) I’m everything I say I’m not, Cos what you see is what you’ve got When you see it then you’ve got a lot, So, be the watcher, not the watched

It was early one evening, the phone rang twice, He said “I Love You, Darling. You’re my wife” A few months running, now she agreed, To a hotel room down by the sea He brought no romance, no flowers, no tenderness, no sorry, just a story ‘bout a new mistress As he rolled her over on that hotel bed, he said “A man has needs, and he needs them met” I want my wife back, and my family, You get back right now, or I’ll marry Plan B Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B She was afraid of his needs, she was torn about the kids She begged him “Darlin’ please gimme little time, and some tenderness, and baby we’ll be fine” But he rolled her over on that hotel bed, saying “A man has needs, and he needs them met” I want my wife back, and my family You get back right now, or I’ll marry Plan B Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Perseverance, excellence, integrity, some say pillar of community Lied to the lawyers, and welfare too, his kids were walking ‘round with holes in their shoes Left them all with nothing, and while his sons hit the skids, He played Super Dad to some other guys kids Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B, Plan B,

I can’t believe, I don’t want to see It’s so unreal, this happening to me I thought I was cool, nobody’s fool ‘Til you walked in the door Cool to fool that’s for sure Why is love so sly, how can I be so high When it doesn’t matter at all, but when I’m with you I fall I want you to see the very best of me Deep inside is a jewel But all you see is the fool You make me freeze, I’m down here on my knees You’ve got my heart, I’m down here torn apart I have lost the art of seduction I’ve become the queen Of self destruc.... ti ......... On I want you to see the other side of me There’s more to me I swear than meets your eye How can I begin to show you the way in When there’s no hello I’m all goodbye You make me freeze I’m down here on my knees You’ve got my heart I’m down here torn apart I have lost the art of seduction I’ve become the queen of self destruction This must be a love sent from stars above I just want to show How I love you so Words & Music by Jeni Wallwork

Innocent 03:19
If I could have one wish come true, I’d wish everything would be brand new Like dew, on a cherry tree, Like you, and your love for me And we would be innocent If that wish came a little late, I’d take my time and appreciate Like a butterfly, in its cocoon, Like you and I, not too soon We would be brilliant Now, if that wish were true indeed, I’d take my time, slow down, and breathe Like snow, falling from the sky, I’d know, you and I We’d be magnificent If I could have one wish come true, I’d be forgiven, and so would you And love, would visit us again. Like the good days, way back when We were innocent, we were innocent, we were innocent

Hear Me Out 03:56
Hear me out before you tell me I’m a dreamer, Hear me out before you see me out the door Hear me out before you tell me I’m a loser, You’re the loser, cos you’re a dreamer Too afraid to dream anymore. You think I’m wasting time, entertaining fantasy, and what I want from life is to escape reality Before you read my future, before you close that book, Try to understand, just take a closer look, and Hear me out before you tell me I’m a dreamer, Hear me out before you see me out the door Hear me out before you tell me I’m a loser, You’re the loser, cos you’re a dreamer We started out the same in the sunshine gazing up at the sky, But then they taught us to walk, cos “we were never meant to fly” They tried to teach us to create, but an original was “second rate” You waste your life building what’s been built, So you can hide yourself away, but Hear me out before you tell me I’m a dreamer, Hear me out before you see me out the door Hear me out before you tell me I’m a loser, You’re the loser, cos you’re a dreamer My eyes are fixed, I won’t sway this time I wonder what I’m gonna find? My dream no less, my dream, no more escaping reality The two will soon collide…. That’s all I see, so Hear me out before you tell me I’m a dreamer, Hear me out before you see me out the door Hear me out before you tell me I’m a loser, You’re the loser, cos you’re a dreamer

We met at St Andrews in the month of May, Up at the chai tent you were lookin’ my way Your eyes they were laughing and your soul was ablaze You picked me up and carried me away Oh I breeze down breeze down breeze down, Breathe in, breathe out Oh I live now, live now, live now, I live with my love Remember living on the mountain, our rustic tea tree fence The drought, the moon, the bushfires, dancing naked in the rain Making love in the orchard, our branch down by the creek Or out on the verandah sipping tea You were my mirror and I grappled with myself, We pulled the triggers to heaven and to hell We laughed and we cried, battled and we healed, and its hard not to hold on to love But the more that you love me the less you’ll demand, And the less you expect of me the more love you’ll have And the more that I love you the less I’ll demand And the less I expect of you the more love I’ll have Yeah I breeze down breeze down breeze down, Breathe in, breathe out Oh I leave now, leave now, leave now, I’m leaving my love, yeah I’m leaving my love Oh I’m leaving my love.

When you rest your head tonight I’ll be there, I’ll be there To kiss you gently, hold you tight I’ll be there, I’ll be there Leave the darkness far behind, Farewell to the night mmmm In the still of morning find, A new day dawning bright, dawning bright Spirit rise to sweet release, Fill your heart with Joy and Peace Turn sleepy eyes toward the light And I’ll be there, I’ll be there Through the day and into night I’ll be there, I’ll be there Leave the darkness far behind, Farewell to the night mmmm In the still of morning find, A new day dawning bright, dawning bright When you rest your head tonight I’ll be there, I’ll be there Through the day and into night I’ll be there, I’ll be there Ooh, oooh Ooh

about

The MsAdventures of Artemis is a CD Trilogy that continues the journey on, from Seraya’s The Prodigal Daughter. Having turned her back on a label, publishing and management, her work carries the signature of a woman free to create as she pleases. Her music still features strings, catchy melodies, moody undertones and emotional deliveries. Whilst the tunes are just as infectious, this is a more raw and vulnerable artist we are now exposed to.

Notable also, is Seraya’s disregard for sticking to the confines of a genre or style. Says the artist “A&R Guys and Marketing Departments needed me to fit neatly into a box they could define, package and present. I find it hard to understand how people in such a creative industry can want to do that. For me, it’s like telling a painter “Paint me some interesting pictures… but only use one brush and one color”. I believe, to be truly creative we can’t be dictated to by rules and conventions. Isn’t it the chaos and breaking of rules that brings about something original?”

The MsAdventures of Artemis glides effortlessly and without apology from a feel you may call pop, country, orchestral, dance…and maybe even a touch of Doris Day!! These songs take you on a modern day journey into contemporary issues, some framed in tracks like Don’t Go Falling -The RSVP Blues (a comment on modern dating), Sweet Joy and Pain (addresses her three close encounters with large scale natural disasters), Reconciliation (from a family of mixed color, born in Sth Africa, a view on prejudice of all kinds), Plan B -The Ballad of a Starter Wife and Mstery (a journey inside).

This three part album is a solid and worthy offering. Its Seraya, boldly flying in the face of convention to do what she does best…”her own thing”.

This album was originally physically released in 2010 as three CD EP's:

Tracks I-IV: The Legend Of Xenabelle
Tracks V-VIII: I Can Never Get Enough Of What I Do Not Want
Tracks IX-XII: Orphic Hymns
