Paul Dodge I love CMB's debut album Three Licks. 🔮I saw her at Great Scott live and was hooked. I've seen her 4 more times since then and it is amazing to hear these songs live. I can listen to this album and it immediately puts me in a good mood 😊 Favorite track: Under The Chandelier.

Frank Pusateri CMB is seductive, haunting and oddly futuristic! Imagine if Bowie and Madonna had a three way with Brian Eno, Their love child would be something like Casey here. Sprinkle in a little Gabriel and serve it up until your robot ears fry. Love it! Electronic music needed this girl. Casey is a true synth siren. I'm hooked. Every track is amazing ! Favorite track: I Didn't Know.

John Raulston Casey's voice is nothing short of angelic. Saw her at the Sinclair opening for Freezepop. I was mystified at the first note. Such a talented artist deserves to be promoted everywhere. 7 dollars is a steal for the musical value of this album. Can't wait to hear more. Favorite track: I Didn't Know.

(Love you, I love you) Our eyes, our tears The laughs, the fears Our mouths, our hands The skin, the years Our youth, our hearts Each plays a part We sound the drums We all have come Three licks to the center of the purple orb In the house of our ancestors We sit in a circle and we’re reaching towards Our sisters and our brothers And we leave We leave as one We all must die Until that time We feed the fire Our dreams, our lives Our lows, our highs There’s not much time But we have tonight We lay our heads On the river beds The stars will guide us When we’re dead Three licks to the center of the purple orb In the house of our ancestors We sit in a circle and we’re reaching towards Our sisters and our brothers And we leave We leave as one We breathe as one We see as one We bleed as one Three licks to the center of the purple orb In the house of our ancestors We sit in a circle and we’re reaching towards Our sisters and our brothers And we leave We leave as one

You wanna hear So I’ll speak clear Oh baby I should’ve kept my mouth shut Caving in You always win Oh baby I choose the words that save me I’m not your friend I’m not your foe so Let it go, let it go You want the truth Tell me whats the use Let it go, let it go I didn’t know I was capable of telling lies You didn’t know so it’s justified I never know how to stop and now I’ve crossed the line But if I go I’ll be crucified You wanna blame Someone to shame Oh baby I should’ve kept my mouth shut My honor breaks Your finger shakes Oh baby not a soul could ever save me I’m not your friend I’m not your foe so Let it go, let it go You want the truth Tell me whats the use Let it go, let it go I didn’t know I was capable of telling lies You didn’t know so it’s justified I never know how to stop and now I’ve crossed the line But if I go then I’ll be crucified Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh I didn’t know oh oh oh oh I didn’t know oh, I didn’t know Heart attack and then you take it back You wanna push the words right through me I know you wanna bruise me, yea Heart attack and then you take it back What good did it do me Cause I know you wanna lose me I didn’t know I was capable of telling lies You didn’t know so it’s justified I never know how to stop and now I’ve crossed the line But if I go, I’ll be crucified I didn’t know you would build me up just to hurt my pride Another choke just to pass the time I never know if you’re against me or if you’re on my side And that just leaves me petrified I didn’t know oh oh oh oh Petrified I didn’t know oh oh oh oh

Where the brush is never ending Shelter from the storm Land is lush and ever mending So vibrant and so warm Raining down on all the living We fear our mother’s scorn Nature can be unforgiving So be thankful you were born La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la Tell me can you hear the thunder Find a tree to settle under La la la la la la la la, Ah You can try but you will fumble Never tempt the rubber jungle Every animal debating If you’ll stay alive Monkeys over head are mating And you’re learning to survive Someone watching from the branches Preying underneath You won’t get that many chances When a hunter licks his teeth La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la Tell me can you hear the thunder Find a tree to settle under La la la la la la la la, Ah You can try but you will fumble Never tempt the rubber jungle Oh from the start Man and beast came apart Oh when they share one heart All love glows in the dark Let’s go back to where we came from I’m dying to connect Build a forest on a kingdom A promise we’ll protect I will go with or without you The planet will provide Never turn my back against her She’s always on my side, c’mon La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la Tell me can you hear the thunder Find a tree to settle under La la la la la la la la, Ah You can try but you will fumble Never tempt the rubber jungle Oh from the start Man and beast came apart Oh when they share one heart All love glows in the dark Oh from the start Man and beast came apart Oh when they share one heart All love glows in the dark All love glows in the dark Oh, when they share one heart All love glows in the dark

This desire to feel love It’s a dark and driving force Fills me up with harsh remorse Leaves me helpless and undone You are the one, you are there source And I swear it just gets worse And you, you are a wall I’ve built you up above it all And then I fade into nothing And now I am small You’re up too high to hear me call So I just fade into nothing And you, you are a wall I’ve built you up above it all And now I fade into nothing And now I am small You’re up too high to hear me call So I just fade into nothing Is it merely selfishness That breaks me up like this Truly suckered for a kiss To be wanted to be held And as far as I can tell I surrendered when I fell And you, you are a wall I’ve built you up above it all And then I fade into nothing And now I am small You’re up too high to hear me call So I just fade into nothing And you, you are a wall I’ve built you up above it all And then I fade into nothing And now I am small You’re up too high to hear me call So I just fade into nothing

Get into my heart And into my bed I know its real The way it feels I know I’m not dead Before there was you Were oceans of blue Cant tell where it goes But all I know Is I like that it's new And I, I feel that now l won’t need nobody else And I, I feel like I should listen to body Under the chandelier You whisper in my ear Wait till the coast is clear Under the chandelier Under the chandelier You hold my body near Tell me what I want to hear But I won’t give my heart and soul just to anybody Take, take me I will not travel Take, take me I will unravel And then I knew there were no words So I kept my mouth quiet, and let you do all the talking My colors will thrive I'm taking the dive A beautiful face And one lil taste to Keep me alive My memories bruised The moment of truths Rainbows of black Keep pulling me back And closer to you And I, I feel that now l won’t need nobody else And I, feel like I should listen to body Under the chandelier You whisper in my ear Wait till the coast is clear Under the chandelier Under the chandelier You hold my body near Tell me what I want to hear But I won’t give my heart and soul just to anybody Take, take me I will not travel Take, take me I will unravel

We were tied the two of us Driving blindly into dust There were hands just trying find where they belong Came together long ago Ended quickly with a blow Understand I never meant to do you wrong We have been hard wired, energy vampires Electrical love fires, energy vampires Will suck you dry There were two of us at first But our little bubbles burst Now we’re at each others jugulars at best When we had ourselves a time Never left our souls behind But I guess it’s time to put these dreams to rest We have been hard wired, energy vampires Electrical love fires, energy vampires Will suck you dry Rain your heart fire down on me Rain your love fire down on me Rain your blood fire down on me Let any pain be cast into the sea We have been hard wired, energy vampires Electrical love fires, energy vampires Will suck you dry
