Nirvana in REM is an audio-visual experience of 10 original songs by singer-songwriter Victoria Vox, inspired by 20 works of art by Fred Stonehouse. “These new songs have an atmospheric quality that is deeply emotional and psychological, as well as hauntingly poetic,” says Stonehouse about Vox’s music. Together, they explore the connection between reality and the nonsensical world of dream logic.
lyrics
We can flip a coin
I’m feeling good about how it’s gonna land
An element of chance left to a rabbit with human hands
Perhaps I’m superstitious but with karma as my witness
It’s animal, radical, mystical, and magical,
like Maneki-neko or a dreamcatcher at my door
I can see it now, I can feel it now,
What I hear is the Echo (echo) of Luck
I can see it now, I can feel it now,
What I hear is the Echo of Luck
We can spin the wheel
A fortune’s waiting at the end of the rainbow
It’s out of my control but my aura is all aglow,
With a 4-leaf clover I’m tossing salt over my left shoulder
It’s illogical, improbable, and weirdly psychological,
The things that I will do to release the bugaboo
I can see it now, I can feel it now,
What I hear is the Echo (echo) of Luck
I can see it now, I can feel it now,
What I hear is the Echo (echo) of Luck

Skribe (Aaron Yealdhall) is a great guy, fun performer, and has a kazoo sponsorship! I performed a songwriter night with him and very much enjoyed his music. Good Groove. Victoria Vox
Cariad Harmon co-wrote several tunes with me and helped pen "Echo" from When the Night Unravels! This is a link to her new album - and it's beautiful. I'm a proud friend! Victoria Vox
James Hall is songwriter friend and fierce front man. He helped pen "You're No Island" from When the Night Unravels. Listen to his song "Step Into the Light". It's beautifully written. Victoria Vox
