The Ocean 02:32
I know I'm on your mind Boys will talk, talk a lot Boy, I know you say I make you weak Clearly you keep me happy You make me want to move across the ocean You could pull me through the ocean closer to you I'd move across the ocean, the ocean for you Two tin cans, a piece of string Just can not be complete Tied the knot so damn tight It's holding
2.
The Game (free) 03:43
I play the game, no give, no take Who's on your side? A chance to bend or break You make mistakes, they make you more Who knows the stakes you're working for You can't win if you don't play The game I played it the same way from the start, didn't change And now that I'm finding words in the dark, Leaving home for a name The game, the game, the game I roll the dice every time I'm all in Your bluff's the same as mine You can fold, your cards won't change The dealer doesn't know your name You can't win if you don't play

The Story 03:35
His pen filled up pages Letters passed in quiet places They both feel the same thing Although it's not showing Giving looks, hidden meanings After school, on the weekends Hands held under the table They'd tell if they were able He knows his boyfriend shouldn't be living so secretly Don't tell me who to love Don't tell me what love's okay Who's to say that there is a right or wrong Or that there's only one way Because I know that we could change the story Writing different words to speak for me Putting down words he'd be shouting It's time for showing and telling We can't go on pretending this story has an ending He knows that he just can't be living so secretly

Dance Card 03:04
Empty glass, the air's hot, the music's on My eyes close, feel the beat Baby, that's my song You find your way next to me through a crowded room Just wait for the right time to make your move I'll pause for your cue You want a spot on my dance card On my dance card Put in the time and sing oh oh oh Go wild all night, oh oh oh You got a spot on my dance card On my dance card The night rolls on, you move so close If the song is ending no one knows Our bodies move with the room as one We're both hoping this night goes on and on Just keep playing my song
5.
Reverie 03:27
Mother of four unfailing men full grown Buried one to young Followed by his own father She was left by her help and her love Daydream in secret Hold it, keep it Reverie Eyes tight to see them Undone equation Reverie Some relief does further damage She will live with her heart half of whole
6.
Your Hand 02:10
Are you my brother, Love Does your breath fill my lungs Was I incomplete before you found me I knew you before I had met you Your hand held my heart I knew you before I had met you My hand held your heart We were old together once Kindred souls reclaimed us

about

Ciseaux is the most recent endeavor of Victoria, BC artist, Katie Schaan. Melodies swam around her head and danced out her rosebud lips before she was old enough to even know words to speak. That tiny girl lived three years of life before hitting the stage with a tiny cello, and there was no stopping her from music making after that. Ciseaux is inspired by everything from Bach’s Brandenburg concertos, to soulful melodies of the 60’s, to the imaginative indie persuasions of her peers. This is a project evolved from classical training, a love of pop music and an unwillingness to be limited by genre. Ciseaux's debut EP, produced by the illustrious Aidan Knight, will melt your heart and make you want to dance all at the same time.

Ciseaux’s Katie Schaan has graced stages and studios while lending her vocal and cello stylings to other emerging BC artists including Aidan Knight, Vince Vaccaro, and Steph Macpherson. As an operatically trained vocalist, she has also been a soloist with the Victoria Symphony. Her first album “Close To Me”, which was released under her own name, earned five nominations at the 2011 Vancouver Island Music Awards (Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year) and won Album of the Year.
