    Thing I notice instantly with Elise’s vocals is how impeccable her timing is. Guess this is what you get with an individual who’s equally talented as a drummer and vocalist. Great stuff. 😊🤙🏼

    • @davelanciani-dimaensionx

      Her sense of timing is probably due to all the live looping songs she does. Timing must be precise otherwise it all goes downhill with digital looping

    I feel so unsure
    As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
    As the music dies, something in your eyes
    Calls to mind a silver screen
    And all its sad good-byes
    I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    I should've known better than to cheat a friend
    And waste the chance that I'd been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you, oh
    Time can never mend
    The careless whispers of a good friend
    To the heart and mind
    Ignorance is kind
    There's no comfort in the truth
    Pain is all you'll find
    I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    I should've known better than to cheat a friend (should've known better, yeah)
    And waste the chance that I'd been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you, oh
    Never without your love
    Tonight the music seems so loud
    I wish that we could lose this crowd
    Maybe it's better this way
    We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
    We could have been so good together
    We could have lived this dance forever
    But now, who's gonna dance with me?
    Please stay
    And I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    I should've known better than to cheat a friend
    And waste the chance that I'd been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you, oh
    now that you're gone
    (Now that you're gone) was what I did so wrong, so wrong
    That you had to leave me alone?
