Biography

Singer/songwriter Abra Moore began composing music at the age of six, and studied piano while a teenager living in New York. After playing small clubs along the coast of Britain and performing on the streets of Paris, Moore enrolled at the University of Hawaii; there she became one of the founding members of Poi Dog Pondering in 1986. Although poi dog went on to earn a devoted cult following after signing to major label Columbia, Moore left the group in the early '90s to pursue a solo career; her debut LP, Sing The Sorrow -- an intimate folk pop collection -- appeared on the Bohemia Beat label in 1995. After signing to the Arista Austin label, she resurfaced in 1997 with Strangest Places, an edgier set which moved closer to contemporary rock. In addition to her musical career, Moore occasionally worked as an actress as well; her most notable performance was in director Richard Linklater's 1991 indie classic Slacker. Five years after her ambitious second album, Moore landed a deal with J Records and released Fear Will Cast No Shadow. Her first for Koch, Everything Changed, appeared in 2004. It was followed in 2007 by On The Way To Wonderland. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

    Lyrics
    I let my guard down in the momentary lapse of emotion
    And it just slipped out and we both knew my heart could be broken
    And I said something I never intended to say
    You stopped laughing and I said, "Do you feel alone in that way?"
    Do you trip on love? Do you run from magic?

    Lyrics
    See, I've been thinking it over
    It's all just a little too much
    You see I've got this four leaf clover
    It's gotta bring a little luck
    Yeah

    There was a boy
    He was a young boy
    He took his shirt off in the rain
    And he started to sway
    He'd reached for the raindrops

    Lyrics
    I didn't know it could feel like this
    I didn't know the hurt
    And I try to explain to myself
    But I can't find no word
    So I lie about it
