    Sometimes there's no substitute for the physical thing. This package — containing a CD with 13 original songs, and a bound, 32-page art booklet w/lyrics — is a like treasure itself, one to keep and revisit.

    “I wanted to create the kind of CD that I enjoy owning myself,” Sue muses. “I like albums that take you on a journey: the songs stand on their own, but taken as a whole, the sequencing creates an even larger story. And I appreciate lyric booklets! And beautiful art. So, that’s what I’m going for here. There’s both ear-candy: interesting sonics, musical connections between songs, and stellar musicians, whose parts are sometimes like characters themselves – and eye-candy: artwork by friends, beautiful photos, lyrics you can read and ponder. It’s the kind of album that works on long car rides, when you’re in the open and can concentrate on the music, and also, anywhere you can listen and read the lyrics at the same time.”

    Includes unlimited streaming of Treasures & Time Travel via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Secret Keeper
© 2018, Sue Fink

You say you’ve got a secret
It’s weighing you down
You feel your feet are made of lead
You can hardly walk around
You wanna shout it from the rooftops
Lay the whole thing bare
Or put a message in a bottle
But you do not dare…

[Chorus]
Honey you can tell me, it’ll go no farther
Share your burden with me, I’ll be your secret partner, and
No one else will see, no one else will know
I’ll stow it with the others – nothing will show ’Cause
I’m the secret keeper, I’m the secret keeper…

I know everybody’s secrets
They’ve been telling me for years…
People tend to show me
What’s not reflected in their mirrors
I’m so loaded up with stories that I’ve
Sworn I’ll never tell
Like a water balloon, caught in a monsoon,
I just swell and swell… and swell… and SWELL but:

Honey you can tell me, it’ll go no farther
Share your burden with me, I’ll be your secret partner, and
No one else will see, no one else will know
I’ll stow it with the others – nothing will show ’Cause
I’m the secret keeper, I’m the secret keeper…

And if you care to ask:
I’ve got secrets of my own
Buried right next to yours
I keep them close to the bone

Watch them glitter in the dark
All the beauty and the scars
Some day the dam’s gonna burst
Sure hope that no one gets hurt
When I publish my memoirs… But, ’til then,

Honey you can tell me, it’ll go no farther
Share your burden with me, I’ll be your secret partner
No one else will see, no one else will know
I’ll stow it with the others – like Edgar Allen Poe [tic, tock, tic, tock] ’Cause
I’m the secret keeper, I’m the secret keeper,
I’m the secret keeper, I’m the secret keeper
Na na na na na…

Do you wanna know a secret?

Sue Fink Chicago, Illinois

Chicago-based singer-songwriter Sue Fink enchants audiences with her whimsical perspective on the world. Her genre, “urban campfire cabaret,” is folk with a hint of jazz, a large dollop of humor, and a drop of sadness for good measure: think Christine Lavin, with a dash of Rickie Lee Jones, Melanie, and Nellie McKay. ... more
