I won’t tell you When it’s morning I won’t tell you Where the wind is blowing from I wanna tell you not to go away Cause I’m raining today If you don’t ask You will never know We will go fast Only if we go slow I’m telling you now And I’ve told you before You don’t get over The things you ignore I won’t let you See me growing I won’t touch you If your body’s not calling for love I wanna tell you not to go away Cause I’m raining today If you don’t ask You will never know We will go fast Only if we go slow I’m telling you now And I’ve told you before You don’t get over The things you ignore Usually I know what to say But I cannot speak today Usually I know what to say But I cannot speak today Can we turn off the light End it before the night If you don’t ask You will never know We will go fast Only if we go slow I’m telling you now And I’ve told you before You don’t get over The things you ignore I won’t tell you When it’s morning I won’t tell you Where the wind is blowing from

Don’t need a pen to remember My damaged brain cannot forget You see my face behind the laughter You see my past hurting my back Write it down, write a story You’ll make a dime, and maybe get some glory How can we do it How do we make a change How can we do it Do you have a plan? (How? Do you?) How can I do it? I’ve got something in my eye It makes me laugh, it makes me cry

Take a seat In my place I won’t let you down Come closer to my face And See for yourself the unknown Tell me how it feels To learn my deepest thoughts I guess there’s one and only way to make it through these days Did you get it? I’ve lost it Were you calling my name? If I give you my wallet Will you teach me how to dance? I won’t let you feel me loving Your body’s showing me nothing How come you never have something Nice to say There’s no lock on my door I can hear you loud and clearer than before The divisions in my heart Make it impossible to Tear me all apart I guess there’s one and only way to make it through these days Did you get it? I’ve lost it Were you calling my name? If I give you my wallet Will you teach me how to dance? I won’t let you feel me loving Your body’s showing me nothing How come you never have something Nice to say Wait up, I think that I’m gonna Dress up and move like madonna I’ll sing the greatest hits for ya Like a prayer I don’t need your money Just wanna hear you say my name Well, you can call me honey In my head It sounds the same I don’t need your money All I need’s a getaway Well, you can call me honey All I need’s a getaway A getaway A getaway

Cheese and crackers every morning I give it up If I make you sad Do you still want to be my lover I’m giving up If you don’t have an answer I'm giving up Those precious mornings I don’t deserve to be that monster That stuck in your head That you’re afraid of I only want to be your lover But hurt you in ways I cannot explain I'm giving up those precious mornings I’m giving up This stupid pain How can’t I see that I’m trying to fix us But break you down How can’t I see that I’m trying to fix us But break you down Love me tonight Why do we fight There’s no wrong or right Will you embrace love with pain for me Love and pain with me Cheese and crackers every morning I’m giving up

Party Pooper 03:20
I’m a party pooper I don’t know how to have fun I’m a damage searcher I trust no one to get things done I have all the answers The other ones are bastards They know nothing I’m a fragile woman You might fracture me with one touch I know what you’re thinking I don’t need your words to cross your lips I bet that you don’t like me You feel like there is not a lot to miss Nothing to miss I’m an over thinker I think myself to sleep at nights I’m a self destroyer I wish I could give me some slack But I always know better Your thoughts no longer matter You know nothing I’m a loving person Sometimes I seem to care too much I know what you’re thinking I don’t need your words to cross your lips I bet that you don’t like me You feel like there is not a lot to miss Can’t you see I’m trying To fight my nature with my bloody fists Tell me what you’re thinking Prove me that I’m wrong, or just at least Lie to me Hey! say it, then watch me fall Hey! play it, here’s my soul Hey! I don’t wanna be like that

All of Me 03:31
If you can’t find a way out Then why won׳t you stay? If you can’t find your love Go ahead and make up a new one Between your words and your tears Will you have mercy on me? I’m not a bad person That’s just a lesson That I had to learn No, I can’t find a way But I don’t wanna stay All of me wanted all of this All of me wanted all of this But all that I wanted all that I had I no longer want it, I want it to end If you cannot decide Why won’t you flip a coin I can be all the things that you need You won’t recognise me Between your words and your tears Will you have mercy on me? I’m not a bad persons You better listen I will go away But I can’t find a way Yet I don’t wanna stay All of me wanted all of this All of me wanted all of this But all that I wanted all that I had I no longer want it, I want it to end It wasn’t long until I found myself It wasn’t long until I cleared the shelf It wasn’t long But wasn’t easy I wasn’t long But it’s ok If you can’t find a way out Then why won׳t you stay? If you can’t find your love Go ahead and make up a new one

Always Love 03:30
Say nothing, Say it all I’ll help you climb and watch you fall Touch my ear then feel my chest Or throw me right into the mess You should collect your emotions And keep them in a bag I wanna smooth you with lotion So you will not be cracked You gotta always love Always forgive Do you have to keep tricks up your sleeve? When you’ve got nothing to give The end is getting closer You gotta always love always forgive Take a walk outside your mind There’s always something new to find Try to catch me if you can if You can’t, then I’ll pretend You should collect your emotions And keep them in a bag I wanna smooth you with lotion So you will not be cracked Are you maintaining the motion Or is it all just my legs? I wanna feel your devotion I want you to beg You gotta always love Always forgive Why do you have to keep tricks up your sleeve? When you’ve got nothing to give The end is getting closer You gotta always love always forgive You saw the truth Now you wanna go back You’re missing youth So you wanna go back But you cannot go back You cannot go back

about

“Party Pooper,” the Raw Tapes debut from Shir Frum, began with a spark. Shir had been writing songs for years — different styles, different vibes. But when her partner heard her strumming “If You Don’t Ask” in bed one night, he knew she’d landed on something magical. Living in a rural town outside Tel Aviv, the couple laid down the sweeping, sweet song the next day inside a shipping container they’d converted to a recording studio next to their home. “I cried in euphoria, hearing what we’d made,” Shir says. The seed of “Party Pooper” had been planted, and in the months that followed Shir’s notebooks filled up with her “elegant indie” songs — heavy emotions but playful melodies, classical guitar and a drum machine, light touches of piano and Shir’s multiple, beautiful voices. Totally self-recorded inside their shipping container studio over the next two years, “Party Pooper” is the sound of a lifelong searcher joyously finding her sound and creating music that is completely, effortlessly her.

During the pandemic, she landed on a sound that truly felt like hers.
