Supermoon 03:28
We are stars hanging in the universe Little sparks heating up the temperature The energy sizzles in the galaxy Perigee-syzygy, come on closer next to me Fingertips dipping in the Milky Way Take a trip, come on now let's get away Me oh my, there's a hole in the sky If we try, we can fly, higher than the highest high Supermoon, I'm waiting on a Supermoon To come into view on the horizon This is real, can you feel my body rise? Sex appeal strong enough to change the tides High or low, there's no need to take it slow Overflow down below I know somewhere we can go

Call a Truce 03:28
I wanna walk away from the game we play It just ain’t right I’m not gonna say it was a mistake But I’m tired of fighting the fight In the space between we’re saying things we don’t mean I’m sorry if I can change your mind But be clear if there’s no need to apologize I’m sorry but what’s the use Can we Call a Truce? There’s no surrender, no one is better No black or white We’re feeling weathered, but tough as leather And wait in ambush to fire In the space between we’re saying things we don’t mean

Don’t got to go it alone When the water’s rising I got a boat and some rope And I can take you home You’re No Island You’re No Island You like to keep me at bay When I come calling Now honey don’t be afraid Just take a leap of faith You’re No Island You’re No Island When there’s no stars And you’re lonely, lonely, lonely And the fog hugs the ground I’ll wrap my arms around you You've been drifting too long Out on the horizon Come back where you belong And we can carry on You’re No Island You’re No Island When there’s no stars And you’re lonely, lonely, lonely And the fog hugs the ground I’ll wrap my arms around you You’re No Island I’ll wrap my arms around you You’re No Island I’ll come and get you when the water’s rising You’re No Island I’ll wrap my arms around you You’re No Island ooooh You’re No Island

I’m Looking for a Man Someone who understands Who’ll be there to hold my hand I’m Looking for a Man No I don’t want a boy A superficial toy Or somebody to play coy No I don’t want a boy ‘Cause I’ve been looking for someone who’ll look me in the eye Who speaks the truth Oh but knows how to satisfy I’m Looking for a Man…

Two Bridges 03:01
Going one place off into another On the way something’s yet to be discovered Stones like roses, diamonds in the dew Don’t matter what you see, it’s what it means to you And when the sun goes down and the night unravels You’re only as noble as the road you travel The path leads you down to the water One bridge mother, one bridge daughter One bridge old and one bridge new How do you know which one to choose And when the sun goes down and the night unravels You’re only as noble as the road you travel And when the sun goes down and the night unravels You’re only as noble as the road you travel Ooooh Oooo-ooo-oooh You’re only as noble as the road you travel Ooooh

The Heart 03:26
One more lie I can tell to myself I gotta quit, but one last hit, then I can stop it Ooh, that’s right, it’s the last time I play my games drawing lines in the sand Oh I know I should let go, but it ain’t over Ooh, all the blame bears your name But there’s no denying The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants No I won’t play the hand I’m dealt You’ve had enough, you call my bluff, I still call it love Ooh, you say you’ll walk away But there’s no denying The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants I gotta quit, but one last hit, then I can stop it The heart wants what it wants Oh I know I should let go, but it ain’t over The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants Oooh oooh

It was fast enough When she reached the limit She wanted love But he wasn't in it She wore her heart on her sleeve And wanted badly to believe All those kisses Were something more than in vain You gotta stop while you're ahead ‘Cause nothing will ever change If you don't learn To use the brakes She's asking why And if it's not too late If the smoke starts to rise Can she plan an escape? But if she goes down in flames Will he remember her name And tell the story (will he tell the story) How she fought to the end? You gotta stop While you're ahead Cuz nothing will ever change If you don't learn To use the brakes You need to decide If you will hold on tight But it's ok to walk away And say you tried… Stop while you're ahead ‘Cause nothing will ever change If you don't learn To use the brakes You gotta stop While you're ahead ‘Cause nothing will ever change If you don't learn To use the brakes If you don't learn To use the brakes If you don't learn From your mistakes

Looking for love in all the wrong places Profiles full of enticing faces In the market, shopping online You'll find me Your Mail Order Bride If you order me you will get A beautiful wife with a great set Blonde hair, blue eyes Guaranteed to mesmerize I'm looking for a change of pace A new life in a new place I hope he's rich and handsome too But beggars aren't allowed to choose Mail Order Bride Won't you give it a try? Mail Order Bride Around the world, you'll find a girl Who'll stick by your side If you love kids, sex, and cooking I'll be your wife, so you can stop looking Send the ticket, the visa too I'm ready to be wedded to you Mail Order Bride Won't you give it a try? Mail Order Bride Around the world, you'll find a girl Who'll stick by your side Well I'm quite the catch and far from lazy, Ready to try something wild and crazy You are lonely and I am too So how about a rendezvous? Mail Order Bride Won't you give it a try? Mail Order Bride Around the world, you'll find a girl Who'll stick by your side Looking for love in all the wrong places Profiles full of enticing faces In the market, shopping online You'll find me Your Mail Order Bride

Lovers lost in lust May stumble in the blush Tangled up in twilight A fever so right No sense in pulling off The road that got us lost ‘Cause the bridge went out after we crossed Covered head to toe In the afterglow Making up reasons As the doubt creeps in Now, you can make believe Any way you please But the truth’ll bring you to your knees Star-crossed lovers by daybreak But I was too blind Tumblin’ head over heartache Poisoned kisses and wine The night the full moon was shining We sat a while on a bench watching waves Where you saw water I saw Diamonds on the Bay Now look at you A darker shade of blue Clouds fill up the skies No stars in your eyes And I don’t wanna hold A heart so cold You can’t take the fool out of fools gold Star-crossed lovers by daybreak But I was too blind Tumblin’ head over heartache Poisoned kisses and wine The night the full moon was shining We sat a while on a bench watching waves Where you saw water I saw Diamonds on the Bay

Echo 03:23
Water so wide So full of sorrow Arms joining sides They are not yours, they are not mine Oh Gone with the tide A love I borrowed Moments in time They are not yours, they are not mine Oh Calling out into the wind It steals your name and leaves an echo Cross the divide A heart so hollow As hard as I try I’ll never reach the other side Oh Calling out into the wind It steals your name and leaves an echo Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Calling out into the wind It steals your name and leaves an echo Calling out into the wind It steals your name and leaves an echo

about

When the Night Unravels is Vox' 9th studio ukulele album. Sophisticated and evocative, the songs of Unravels combine classic Vox wit with alluring and confidant jazz vocals. Vox – a one-woman show with ukulele, bass and loop pedals, and her signature “mouth trumpet” – delivers a full band sound. Producer, Geoff Stanfield, (Sun Kil Moon, Grace Webber), elaborates on what Vox does best. Vox slinks between musical styles--pop, jazz and soul--with use of ukulele, bass, horns, accordion, and synths. The album has a “night” theme, which can be interpreted two ways: turning into the dark, or coming out of it.

Vox – a one-woman show with ukulele, bass and loop pedals, and her signature “mouth trumpet” (featured on the Jay Leno Show and in the Wall Street Journal) – delivers a full band sound. Her heartfelt ballads and charisma captivate audiences around the globe, including sold-out shows in New Zealand, Australia, Europe, Canada, and across the USA.

Vox earned a degree in songwriting from the Berklee College of Music (2001), mostly accompanying her songs with guitar. Then a friend and blues artist gave her a ukulele. The small, four-stringed instrument proved to be the unexpected, but welcomed vehicle to showcase the upbeat, rhythmic drive characteristic of her music.
