Music Monday Mash-up by The Lavenders :)
(via thelavendersband)
A sweet little ditty that we love to sing. Written by Betsy. Vocals by both of The Lavenders. Betsy on guitar. Apprehensive xylophone by Alicia.
Happy Music Monday and a very Happy New Year!
This is the first recording of the first (and only) song that we completely co-wrote together - chords, melody, lyrics - start to finish. We quickly realized that this is no easy task, so the rest of our songs are written by one person, presented to the other, and then after some collaboration becomes a “Lavenders song”. Yes. That’s a thing ;) So…without further ado, here is the original recording (Betsy only) of Lavender Blue Dilly and the EP version (Betsy and Alicia) of Lavender Blue.

We recorded two versions of this Two Princes cover yesterday. I like this one best - more mellow. #musicmonday

Our band, The Lavenders (folk/country/pop), is from the Stockton/Lodi area :) Every Monday we put up a new track on soundcloud… usually a work in progress or a rough recording of a cover (just for fun). Our voices are very different from each other - Betsy has a timeless voice while Alicia (me) is more… I don’t know, haha - but we like to think it works. Here are a few tracks that we’ve posted over the last few weeks. I’ll be posting them here every Monday, as well as on soundcloud, facebook, twitter - you literally have no excuse to not follow us if you like what you hear. And if you don’t like what you hear? Well, we still like you anyway :)
You can also check out our first EP on bandcamp:
We’ll be posting an in-progress recording of our songs every monday. Follow us on soundcloud or like us on facebook to hear more. Thank you :)

Promise Land by The Lavenders
Drivin’ up 5, right up the line
Goin’ to the place that I’ve called mine
Since I was just a little girl
Take me up 5, fast as you can
Might not be heaven but it’s our Promise Land
As close as we’re gonna get in this life
Oh we might be city born and raised x 3
But oh we long for those days
We’ll be swimmin’ in the lake, walkin’ through the trees
No computer and no TV
But we’ll never lack good company
Sleepin’ in our tent underneath the stars
Hold each other close, throw our cares in the fire
Here baby all we want is really all we need
Oh we might be city born and raised
And it’s only a matter of days
When we’ll have to leave this all behind
But sooner or later we’ll find
We’ll be drivin’ up 5, right up the line
Goin’ to the place that I’ve called mine
Since I was just a little girl
You’ll take me up 5, fast as you can
Might not be heaven but it’s our Promise Land
As close as we’re gonna get in this life
Oh we might be city born and raised x 3
But oh we long for those days…
