    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.

lyrics

Serial Bad Dater
© 2018, Sue Fink

Oh, I’m a serial bad dater, all my exes are the same
The only things that differ are their birthdate and their name
If you lined ’em up against the wall you’d marvel at my game
Yeah, I’m a serial bad dater, and all my exes are the same

[Chorus]
Serial… bad dater
Think I’ll win at love sooner or later
But what I really need is a simple twist of fate, or
I will remain… a serial bad dater

I’m like a kid with a prized marble that got lost somewhere down the line
I keep picking up new ones that I think resembled mine
But that original, first marble was lucky maybe just one time…
And now I’ve lost all my marbles, somewhere down the line

[Chorus]

I think somehow I’m still searching for you
You’re long-gone, but I thought our love was true
Maybe what I should do instead, is just date in my head
And save us all a misery or two…

So now it’s a new century, is there any hope for me?
My friends say probably not – without intensive therapy
But who’s that guy across the street, guess I’d better go and see
’Cause this time might be different! … is there any hope for me [everybody!]

[Chorus]

What I really need is a simple twist of fate, or
I will remain… a serial bad dater… yeah, yeah!

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
