Eva Schubert is a singer and songwriter based in Vancouver, Canada. Inspired by jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Nina Simone, blues icons like Etta James, and — perhaps improbably — Leonard Cohen, she writes in a diverse range of styles.
Well you’ve driven me to music
I hope you’re satisfied
I’m drunk on a longing
That will always be denied
I write these songs like sonar
Or stones into a well
I’m looking for an echo
But...
I got a fever
Can’t clear my head
All I want to do
Is crawl back into bed
I called the doctor
But he didn’t have a plan
The only one left to call
Is the voodoo...
There’s always blood on the leaves
When they cut sugar cane
No pleasure’s ever offered
Without a taste of pain
You’ll always be alone
Unless you open up your door

Or the day the cherry blossom trees
Burst into bloom

Well I was hungry and cold
Living proud and alone

Nothing left but the bones
And just when in desperation
I thought I’d throw myself away
You came like an answer
To...
You can’t live on bread alone
That’s what the Good Book said
Though without your daily share
You aren’t getting fed
But I can’t help wanting more
Than strict necessity
And for me you are
A taste...
Somewhere— in some other place
Far, far from here
If I had seen your face
Would it have been clear
Chorus:
That you and I
Have so many things to say
That the hours of the day
Seem...
I like to plan in advance
I always know the score
Before the music is played
Before I walk out the door
I like to draw a map
From A to Z
So I can walk...
He’s a man who knows his threads
He’s got purpose in his stride
He’s used to turning heads
And rarely gets denied
He’s got the sweetest lines
He knows just what to say
You won’t pick...
