give me love give me happiness
give me hope give me loneliness
give me fight give me bad desire
give me chills warm it up with fire
cause in a system where I'm ill prepared
no one ever said that life was fair
give me something that I could admire
show me something that I could inspire
she's my lover, she's my lover now
there's no other, no one else allowed in my heart
"Give Me Happiness" is on the album Pray To Be Free, produced by Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman and featuring Allison Pierce of The Pierces. Out worldwide on Heavenly Recordings/Cooperative Music.
"Levy's baritone brings a velvety richness to string-drenched songs about infidelity and betrayal, while Pierce proves a distinctive foil. These are beautiful songs with a murderous heart." Uncut Magazine (4 star review)
"[A]n absolute beauty. A match made in music heaven. . . .On songs such as Give Me Happiness, Hung To Dry and Holy Water, they create music that sounds somehow preordained. Buy this now." -- Sunday Times (of London)
"James Levy has always had the deep-set dulcet croon for the job, but now has the right songs, setting and sound -- and in Allison Pierce, the right sparring partner. . . by turns dark, playful, smoldering and joyful. . . [a] sublime record." -- BBC
Levy has the right voice and perfect songs, but he also knows how to give the perfect tone to the album to make it about more than a style. . . .. simple and effective -- between the lines of something dark and seductive." El Pais (Spain) (4 star review)
