  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    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.”

lyrics

Winter Flower
© 2018, Sue Fink

A fragile flower blooms in the snow
Against the strongest odds
Through sparkling white, red petals show
And sing to unseen gods:
O silent night, O single star
Send your signal from afar
Does this plea reach where you are
A night owl blinks and nods

Does the little flower wonder
Why it’s now awake
Too cold for rain or even thunder:
Is this some mistake
O stillness be, O moon so bright
Cast your beacon through the night
Illuminate what is, what might be
… Shine for my sake

[Musical Break]

That I should be the one to find
You here is no surprise
For I, the night owl, am not blind
Nor deaf to heaven’s cries
O fleeting flower, O fluttering heart
With trembling wings I play my part…
Let never be too late to start
To reach up towards the skies
To bloom, to beat, to rise…
To bloom… to beat… to rise…
Rise… rise…

about

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
