about

"Girl" is a glam rock style ode to empowered femininity, inspired by the British rock n' roll kings of the 70s, like T. Rex and Bowie. Thanks to the incredible fellow musicians (Avi Durchfort on lead guitar & bass, JJ Ross on drums), who helped me transform this song from its humble beginings, as just me and an acoustic guitar, to the sun-faded rock n' roll opus it stands as now.

lyrics

I’m just a girl, does not matter what I say
Silence is the dish I was fed for dinner everyday
Slurp it with your soup spoon, as I slowly melt away
So you wipe me on your apron
Oh 'cos I was raised this way

Cage-free, but that does not mean I will not be consumed
Once I've been groomed to your perfection
Oh I’m losing my mind
(She’s losing her mind)

Thought I had loved once
If that’s still what they call it these days
My body was his hotel, and for too long he never stayed
Still I paid a pretty price
Stole the little soaps and fresh bouquets
Tossed my mind right in the laundry bin, but anyways

Thought I had loved once, is it meant to feel that way?
Leaving scars on all my happy days
Oh i’m losing my mind
(She’s losing her mind)

If all my schooling was for something, it’s so I could stay away
From people with your appetite
And the games they love to play             
But all of this pressure forms a crystal anyways
So I’ll be shining in the sunlight as I walk away

But I’m just a girl, oh and they’ll burn me at the stake
For howlin’ at the moon in my frustration

Oh I’m losing my mind
Need to be humanized
Oh I’m losing my mind

Alexandra Riorden California

Alexandra Riorden’s debut LP Angel City Radio is an abstract chronicle of the tumultuous healing process after experiencing trauma, wrapped in a smoke-scented velvet curtain of shimmering indie-rock. Progressing like a Lynchian dream sequence, each song takes the listener down a different hallway in the labyrinth that is recovery; some dark, others reflective, but all moving towards empowerment. ... more
