about

Classic jazz lounge vocal with piano, percussion, flute and bass arrangement

“A voice both haunting and plaintive and full of life’s longings, with songs at once popular and profound”

(Matt Holland, Director, Swindon Festival of Literature)

“Earthy, quirky, impassioned narratives that elevate the mundane to the sublime”

(Charlie B, Nasty Little Lonely)

Firmly grounded in the Seventies’ singer-songwriter lyric tradition, Christina Crosby is a balladeer with a retro feel but a distinctly modern message.

An East/North London working class hybrid, former city girl Christina Crosby is now rooted in Somerset, having hankered for a land-based life since her late teens.

Honest, home-spun, with a raw and sometimes gritty delivery - bluesy here, folky there (and occasionally downright country) - Christina Crosby’s songs offer a contemporary critique of the human condition in the 21st century, and treat the timeless, familiar preoccupations of the human heart.

lyrics

Alone, again
You're asking after me
Do you really wanna know?
Is it only courtesy?
I don't know what went wrong
Did she leave? or was it you?
Are you hurting all by yourself
Wondering what you're gonna do?

Let me take away the pain
Let me hold you 'til it's gone
'Til you're ready to go on again
We can never be the same
No, the past is dead and gone
But you need someone to take away the pain.

We went separate ways
When love was at an end
Now there's someone else who needs me
But I'll always be your friend
No, we can never be
The way we were before
But I'll help you to make it through
Isn't that what friends are for?

Old feelings that I thought had died
Keep flooding back like a rising tide
I still care and I can't bear
To think of all those tears you've cried ...

Let me take away the pain
Let me hold you 'til it's gone
'Til you're ready to go on again
See how much I've changed
I was weak but now I'm strong
I can be the one to take away the pain.
