Artist picture
"Soulful. Alive. Joyous. Grievous. Real, true, music is what I want to make."
"Ever wonder what it would have been like to listen to a gifted singer/songwriter from Saskatchewan in a small, intimate hall before she became Joni Mitchell? Don't fret the missed opportunity. There's no need to turn back the clock. Check out Allison Crowe..." Robert Reid, The Record (Canada) "Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with. She is from Vancouver Island in Canada, descended from Scottish, Irish and Manx stock. She's exactly the sort of artist who can make serious headway on her own label and that's just what she's doing." Record of the Day (UK) "Once famously described as possessing a style akin to 'Elton John meets Edith Piaf', the Canadian singer-songwriter Allison Crowe is renowned for her ability to blend control and melodrama." MOJO (UK) "With the soul of Janis Joplin and the tenderness of fellow Canuck Sarah McLachlan, Crowe rocks with her own unique brand of roots charm." Exclaim magazine rock - gospel, jazz - grunge, classical - blues, folk - soul; a voice that unites genres and generations

Story behind the song
July 1st we celebrate Canada here still we are part of the main, a global, cultural, community. Allison Crowes licensed her music for play in stores and market-places throughout continental Europes western-most country, the republic of Portugal. Her songs can be heard daily across the Algarves beautiful coast, the archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira, in the open air of Lisbons artful street galleries, riding the slopes and falls of the countrys lush interior, its mountainous northern region, mingling in the mystery and magic of coastal Alentejo. Up and down the Iberian Peninsula this sound we know and love will ring out. Why Portugal? Theres a full palette of joys and emotions to be discovered in the art of Allison Crowe. In certain of her songs, too, there is saudade that quality described as a bitter-sweet, existential yearning and hopefulness towards something over which one has no control. The unassailable determinism which compels the resigned yearning of saudade is the soul of Portugals Fado music. Here, now is Allison Crowe and Band with the sounds of Silence
Lyrics
Silence Words & Music by Allison Crowe Silence In the darkness of your soul Following your call Grey skies Belong to me Open my eyes Rain falls On you On me You cannot control Where you are supposed to be Bring the winds That carry you Bring them to me I will hold This rebel light This renegade sea Rain falls On you On me I cannot control Where I am Supposed to be I wait in the dark I carry these chains I roam through this night No Ill not open the door For you to be free For you to take flight Rain falls On you On me We cannot control where we are supposed to be
