    Between her local 1995 debut Probably Lucy and its follow-up three years later, Something Happened, Seela Misra evolved from a standard ATX singer-songwriter to a sultry indie rock diva. Nearly 20 years later, on her fifth album Track You Down, the singer revisits that initial vulnerability with a collection venturing through gospel rollicks, folk-laden rolls, jangling pop, and acoustic ruminations. She still transitions from breezy timbres and slightly rasped altos to bare-boned coos, but now her vocal conviction untangles the Canadian import's sinewy melancholia. Biblical trifecta "Love, Burn Me Down," "Ready to Sing," and "Brave" unfold parables wherein the narrator is burned and baptized by love: born as a mustard seed in her "father's house," bowed at a congregation pew, and praying with clasped hands, respectively. Seela bears her revelations in crystalline detail, proving strength in the transformative power of faith. -The Austin Chronicle

lyrics

Oh, Comfort comes like water when I recall his words:
"Anytime you speak to me you know you will be heard
Among the congregation voices raising a praising tune
Or whispering in the darkness all alone in your room
You Can be brave, brave, brave, oh yes you can
You've got all that you need in your two praying hands"

Oh, Daniel writes of three friends sent in that fiery hole
And if you look inside you won't believe your eyes, oh what you would behold
There with them was another no one could yet name
With him they stood upright in the blazing light and were untouched by the flames
So i can be brave, brave, brave, oh yes I can
I've got the help of a mighty savior In my two praying hands.
That's why I'm brave, I'm brave, I'm brave, oh yes I am
I've got all that I need in my two praying hands.

Where two or three of us gather to call upon our God
in might he comes to meet us to strengthen lowly odds
Oh Lord I’ve kept a record so my fading faith may see
how the creator of the universe has loving eyes for me
I can be brave, brave, oh brave, oh yes I can
I've got all that I need in my two praying hands.

seela Austin, Texas

Born to exhausted Indian immigrants on a mild, summer eve, Seela had an average childhood battling the forces of evil with her superhuman strength. On quality meals of Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, Fozy Bear, & U2, she flourished in nerdy-ness, topping off @ 5’3″. Though songwriting has yet to lead to fame & fortune, opportunity, adventure, & delight have yet to cease. ... more
