When the World

from Cool. by seela

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Cool is the 6th studio album by Seela, a veteran Austin singer/songwriter/performer and back-up singer. Though she’s always had deep involvement in the recording process in the past, she has also always had a producer to fall back on. This time Seela took the reins and self-produced the record she wanted to hear.

    The songs, some she has been playing live for years, pay no loyalty to any particular style but are the result of her many influences: The Police, Spoon, Anita O’ Day, Heart, Steely Dan, and Bowie to name a few. Pop, Rock, Folk, Gospel and Jazz have all been a part of her 20+ year career as an Austin musician and Cool lets it show.

    Backed by her solid-as-a-rock drummer/husband Jon Greene (Patty Griffin, Fastball, Jaimee Harris), her nephew Andrew Casile on guitar, Andrew Pressman (Jimmy LaFave, Nancy & Beth, Anthony DaCosta) on bass, as well as an impressive handful of Austin’s finest, Seela and engineer Britton Beisenherz have created a lush and catchy thirteen-track universe. With gorgeous harmonies and the occasional playful treatment, each song on Cool hits all the right spots.

    This CD comes in a lovely gatefold card case as well as a 6 panel lyric booklet with artwork by Seela.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Cool. via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.     ... more

about

When I first started playing live shows, a friend introduced me to a seasoned Austin musician who told me to pack it up and go home because I’d never “make it”. He was jaded and going through a rough time (and apologized years later after he actually heard me.) I didn’t take it to heart, but he was definitely the inspiration for this song. Also, the rash of singing competition reality TV shows figures in there somehow. I love the guitar solo hand-offs on the track! Perfection!

lyrics

Forget about what they said to you
Forget about what they said that you can do
We don’t allow anything that’s new so forget it
I was around when all of this began
And the big ones never learned my name
I never found that secret formula and I looked and I looked and I looked
And when the world comes
When the world comes for you, we’ll be watching.

Oh, no! You did it again
Don’t you listen to anything I said?
Now they’re never gonna let you in
Don’t you listen…

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
