David Easley This has honestly always been one of my very favorite albums, despite being an EP with only 6 tracks. I love it from start to finish; there are no duds or low spots at any time in the album, from start to finish. Deciding a favorite track was tough, but I went with San Francisco solely because I love the piano. Mesmerizing album. I love nearly everything Veela creates or is a part of, but I think this EP, Prelude, takes the cake as my very favorite. Favorite track: San Francisco.

Zach Lippe Veela's old work has kind of an intangible essence to it that I love hearing. It's like a slightly more humanized version of her. Even though she's gone on to make brilliant music in the present, I still love listening to this release some times. Favorite track: Exposure.

Forget about me For a little while I’ll be the girl in the tower Waiting for your call I’ll admire Your independence I’ll be the girl who’s heart’s waiting Wake me up in Venice You had been so stone faced When I talked to you I had an explanation And a reason To break you "I don’t want your perfect love And certainty It’s too easy to settle down I need us to be free.” You had to absorb that a minute All you did was stood up and lift your Questioning eyes made me a fighter You’re so composed, but I’m wiser Put your arms around me so tightly Swallow the tears you had been fighting Close your eyes and kiss my forehead "Baby you don’t have to do this." Forget about me For a little while I’ll be the girl in the tower Waiting for your call I’ll admire Your independence I’ll be the girl who’s heart’s waiting Wake me up in Venice So here I am still living life Apart from you I’ve had all my hardships What have you been through? Do you know the concept Of eternal love? I’m the one who’s known it’s you And never given up I’ve trudged these broken rocks Day and night For what? To be reminded that people change Please make sure he knows that I’ll be here hoping he’ll come back There’s only one window in these four walls Its has no glass but I never fall Even though I’m constantly searching Down six stories silent and hurting Forget about me For a little while I’ll be the girl in the tower Waiting for your call I’ll admire Your independence I’ll be the girl who’s heart’s waiting Wake me up in Venice I’ve become numb to this human life I’ve become numb to This human life I’ve trudged these broken rocks day and night For what? To be reminded that people change I’m the one who’s known it’s you And never given up. This human life.

Tony, Sometimes... I just wish you were a drag queen. Had you always yearned For a life like a midway Baby, I know it hurts That you gave up on yourself so easily Ask me, and I'll Tell you the truth now It's so simple It's memories. Now you're living in a world That's so far above you Mon amour, let me go To San Francisco Spare me your choices, boy No, I'll never love you Mon amour, let me go To San Francisco San Francisco never pushed me away Madonna, disco, naked rainbow parades Spare me your choices, boy No, I'll never love you Mon amour, let me go To San Francisco Why don't you move this chair I'll get the coffee table Like a virgin or a prayer Keep your five inch heels on I'll cut off all my hair Close your eyes do you Feel a little lighter? These newborn memories This is New Year's, but for a dance So much glitter stuck to our hands Cry out and wipe away Your mind invaders This is New Year's, but for a dance So much glitter stuck to our hands Cry out and wipe away Your mind invaders Now you're living in a world That's so far above you Mon amour, let me go To San Francisco Spare me your choices, boy No, I'll never love you Mon amour, let me go To San Francisco San Francisco never pushed me away Madonna, disco, naked rainbow parades Spare me your choices, boy No, I'll never love you Mon amour, let me go To San Francisco Spare me your choices, boy San Francisco

I can see it when I close my eyes You and me just dancing through the night Haunted visions barely passing you by You can't stop them, let me free your mind Bring it down now, throw your hand in the air like this and Bring it down now, throw your hand in the air like this and Bring it down now, throw your hand in the air like this and Bring it down now, throw your hand in the air like this and Open up your box of memories and relive them for the last time Freedom soon becomes ecstasy and it's running up my spine Fantasy and reality will beautifully align I can let you prey on my energy, that's my sacrifice (CONTEXT) Move, throw your hands to the ceiling I know you can feel this Roll with the vocals We're blowing the speakers It's Veela, the Queen of the Evening Dance with the devil while the angels are speaking Keep in time with the bass, pokerface Slay beats and rhymes over breaks like a demon The rhyme is the reason Diamonds and sequins Rock like a zombie the time of the season Talk like I walk where your thoughts and your dreams live Lost in the deep end you fought for your freedom Anomaly solid while obstacles weaken We're never gonna stop like it's always the weekend In the room, I see you catch my eye Shout a warning, I should fear the night Frantic bodies swarming me on all sides My heart beats and, I feel so alive Bring it down now, throw your hand in the air like this and Bring it down now, throw your hand in the air like this and Bring it down now, throw your hand in the air like this and Bring it down now, throw your hand in the air like this Open up your box of memories and relive them for the last time Freedom soon becomes ecstasy and it's running up my spine Fantasy and reality will beautifully align I can let you prey on my energy, that's my sacrifice I can see it when I close my eyes You and me just dancing through the night Haunted visions barely passing you by You can't stop them, let me free your mind

Who are you Who are you to wake me up And take away my dreams And what are you so jealous of We're all human But you're skins green No you couldn't reach me if you wanted to It's gonna be a long walk, long walk For you And who are you? And who are you? Voices always telling me to look out for monsters But I feel alive within the white night's sun I'm a million miles ahead, it's already too late One minute to midnight and my mind in gated No I'm not willing to find your lock for you There are far too many hidden doors The only way you will be able to escape the mirrors Is to kiss the floor I'm a million miles ahead, it's already too late One minute to midnight and my mind is gated My mind is gated My mind is gated My mind is gated I've gotta save it Who are you to wake me up And take away my dreams And what are you so jealous of We're all human But you're skins green No you couldn't reach me if you wanted to It's gonna be a long walk, long walk For you It's gonna be a long walk, long walk For you It's gonna be a long walk, long walk For you The only way you will be able to escape the mirrors Is to kiss the floor It's gonna be a long walk, long walk For you

Exposure 05:15
Touch, leave, push, oh yeah Bring me out to the midnight show You won't listen, I don't want to go I'll lose my grip if in this place, There's nothing to hold onto except for your embrace I wanna hear the secrets you've never told So be bold now Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah If you can believe it, I've fallen for you again Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah When I lose my veil, the moonlight, she brushes against Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah All the reasons I avoided and let you take me away Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah From the pain But you sing sing sing sing Sing sing sing sing You're so uptight for what the future holds Why you so scared of growing old? You're always so hollow on your normal days If you'd just live in the moment your soul won't fade away I'll sing you haunted melodies With the stories Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah If you can believe it, I've fallen for you again Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah When I lose my veil, the moonlight, she brushes against Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah All the reasons I avoided and let you take me away Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah From the pain But you sing sing sing sing Remember when the nights were ours We were free there were no bars Make our way, you'd align the start Can you tolerate my memoirs? As painful as it may seem I've gotta do it, need to see that gleam Desire spark in your eyes It's the truth and I know you despise it Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah If you can believe it, I've fallen for you again Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah When I lose my veil, the moonlight, she brushes against Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah All the reasons I avoided and let you take me away Touch, leave, push, ah oh yeah From the pain But you sing sing sing sing Bring me out to the midnight show You won't listen, I don't want to go I'll lose my grip if in this place, There's nothing to hold onto except for your embrace I wanna hear the secrets you've never told So be bold now If you can believe it, I've fallen for you again When I lose my veil, the moonlight, she brushes against I wanna hear the secrets you've never told So be bold now Falling for you...
