sistermadly's latest offering - an 11 song album, "Naked" released June 9th, 2008 on VGM and distributed through Vitamin.

It’s the blend and the contrast that holds the audience – any audience – two beautiful voices, one deep and throaty with undeniable intensity, the other melodious and uplifting .

And the range of material. Lyrically, one is raw and wounded while the other is relaxed and observing; one leaves resonating impressions and the other light footprints.

Strong and full vocal harmonies, combine with individual musical styles to produce irresistible and unforgettable songs delivered with the unaffected joy of singing and playing.

Attention to detail with minimum fuss is the charm in sistermadly's latest album 'Naked'.

'It has been a great experience to tuck each of these songs into their musical beds on this album and to now allow our listeners to awaken them'

My House  >>>  MP3 Sound Byte for "My House"

People will come people will go
But I want you to know
You can always come to me
In my house you can feel free

You'll get ahead you'll fall behind
But you will always find
In my house the words the words are kind
Soft and soothing for your mind

*Will I see you round will I see you there
will I see you anywhere?
Can you still keep up
Still you can't break down
With these changes all around

Good times come and go
But I want you to know
Nothing ventured nothing gained
And nothing stays the same
People will come people will go
But I want you to know
You can always come to me
In my house you can feel free

*Will I see you round will I see you there
will I see you anywhere?
Can you still keep up
Still you can't break down
With these changes all around

Peace of Mind  >>>  MP3 Sound Byte for "Peace of Mind"

I picked a flower for you today I left early and I didn't say that I love you
Though I want to
I been thinking 'bout you all day my mind won't let you go away
Though it needs to cos I want you

and I'm gonna find if it takes all my time peace of mind

I had a shower with you today like the water I ran away I didn't want to
But I ran anyway
And now I'll buy a flower for you today leave it in your pocket and I hope you'll say
That you love me cos that would make me happy

hell I'm gonna find if it takes all my time
In this bed we made for two all I want is you and peace of mind

say you love me and that might make me happy
say you love me it just might make me cry
and when you love me I feel satisfied
the way you love me just makes me wanna cry

well I'll be safe like a baby in the womb you say all my fears you have carried away
I'll always thank you and if I could do
I'd buy another hour every day for you and hold your hand while we walk through
to a better place where I'll watch out for you

hell I'm gonna find if it takes all my time
In this bed we made for two all I want is you and peace of mind
And I'm gonna find if it takes all my time in my head I dream of you
Now all I wanna do is find peace of mind

Strange   >>>  MP3 Sound Byte for "Strange"

How can, can you stand there and tell me that you care
And how can, can you disappear and tell me there's nothing to fear

In spite of all the things I said in spite I said them
You got a funny way of showing love I got a funny way of knowing

You're so strange there's no doubt I'll never know what you're about

Now you, can you live like, live like you can, like you mean it
In spite of all the things I said in spite I said them
You got a funny way of showing love I got a funny way of knowing

You're so strange there's no doubt I'll never know what you're about
Don't go and change because of me just be strong and be happy

You're so strange there's no doubt I'll never know what you're about
don't go and change because of me just be strong and be happy

Spiders   >>>  MP3 Sound Byte for "Spiders"

There's spiders in my hair and ghosts are everywhere
and it's time to make my move on you
skeletons in the closet but I'm gonna leave them there
cos it's time to take time out for you

come into my room into my corner of the world
don't try to protest kiss me and bury you're head
come on wont you let yourself turn me inside and out
and love me like you can

the writing's on the wall but I misread it all
cos I was too busy thinking about you
I long for love ah but loneliness I possess
And I'm too busy thinking about you

come into my room into my corner of the world
don't try to protest kiss me and bury you're head
come on wont you let yourself turn me inside and out
and love me like you can

Touch me touch me touch my skin

Pour down rain down touch me run with me

I wanna run through fields and never ever be so sad
Wont you run with me run with me and be glad

Come Undone   >>>  MP3 Sound Byte for "Come Undone"

Caught up in a tangled web and I
walked out on a sacred ledge when I
Fell into a universe of unrequited love
trapped insides this picturesque world come undone

wrapped up in my damaged head and I
crawled toward a heaven sent and I
walked out an a sacred ledge and I

Fell into a universe of unrequited love
trapped insides this picturesque world come undone
Fell into a universe of unrequited love
Wrapped up in this picturesque world come undone

Wanting to let you go and relinquish my desire
When all my world was on fire

Fell into a universe of unrequited love
trapped insides this picturesque world come undone
Fell into a universe of unrequited love
Wrapped up in this picturesque world come undone
Come undone
Come undone

Tomorrow   >>>  MP3 Sound Byte for "Tomorrow"

When you hit me I fell cos you sent me a letter from hell
You were leaving me now you're going out alone oh
You don't believe in me
When you lied I died cos you hurt me this time
You were deceiving me

But I fall down and drown in my sorrow
I lie down and pray for tomorrow

When you staggered your love you made me blush
Cos you were cheating me
And your anger still makes you look like a fool
Were you demeaning
Though you're troubled I see even still you believe
That it was only me

But I fall down and drown in my sorrow
I lie down and pray for tomorrow

La la la la la la la la

But I fall down and drown in my sorrow
I lie down and pray for tomorrow

Na na na na na na na na na

Dancing in Love   >>>  MP3 Sound Byte for "Dancing in Love"

I saw him dancing dancing dancing last night
He was dancing to the music of some friends of mine
He was dancing dancing dancing in the dimmer light
The boy was moving to a spirit of another kind

He turned and he writhed and his feet moved into place
The shining stars were his eyes searching from his face
His hair was long and curly and his skin was dark and shy
Watching him move put a tear in my eye

I wanted to move with him and dance with him alone
But I feared him running and me standing on my own
And in the hearts of those who watched the same feeling was felt
As he turned and watched us back I could see that hearts would melt

For this boy he was dancing in love oh he was dancing in love
Love la la la la la la la la la la la la love
Oh la la la la love
Love la la lo la la lo la la lo la la love

I wanted to move with him and dance with him alone
But I feared him running and me standing on my own
And in the hearts of those who watched the same feeling was felt
As he turned and watched us back I could see that hearts would melt

For this boy he was dancing in love oh he was dancing in love
Love la la la la la la la la la la la la love
Oh la la la la love
Love la la lo la la lo la la lo la la love

Running Ragged   >>>  MP3 Sound Byte for "Running Ragged"

There's a time and there's a place in my mind I hold your face
I think we can work it out I believe without a doubt
That our preservation lies in moderation

But I'm running ragged to be with you sacrificing the things I do
Love addiction's a contradiction but say you'll stay

Don't believe in new year's resolutions
I like to think that I can change things
Never had much luck here with my love
Mm I feel that our preservation lies in moderation

But I'm running ragged to be with you sacrificing the things I do
Love addiction's a contradiction
But I'm running ragged to drink the love that lovers do
For your attention is my momentum
I ru……...
Say you'll stay

But I'm running ragged to be with you sacrificing the things I do
For your attention is my momentum
I'm ru…….
