mwl IAmAliciaTV is the perfect combination of super-eclectic dance music and experimental awesomeness. It's Laurie Anderson teaming up with Prince and Martha Wells conducting 70ties anthems with an A.I. orchestra. AWESOME!

Prelude 03:55
Lookin' around I found myself Finding myself unfound And so I turned right to myself Sayin' "Hey, why don't you find your way out?" The one thing you mustn't Know is to know you knew it all So go on lookin' for it But just know you've had it all along [CHORUS] I thought I knew I thought I was in the know But you can't know, I think, until you forget it All that you do is also all that you don't You won't hold a thing unless you just let it go Say, did you see you're everywhere - You're just not here at all? We'd play hide and seek, but it might be a cheat If you're no different from the wall! To play the game is that to seek is to be found Sometimes lookin' in is just the same as lookin' out There is a place I like to go, I go there all the time Maybe I could take you there if you'd pay me no mind Oh, what a dream, this thing I'm seein'! Spin the wheel, make it go round and round and round I go around and round and round And just like everything, when I go up I'm comin' down And gettin' in is gettin' out Let's go again, I go around, round and round and… [CHORUS] I think I knew, I think I've known it this whole time But maybe, you know, it's somethin' I guessed at It's one in the same though, if you are so inclined You won't hold a thing unless you just let it.... go!

Was it just a little too on the nose when you found you out, as the story goes Did you think you could get away with a little less tongue in cheek? Didn’t you know life would find a way to greet you with a nod and a wink Was it just a little too spic’ and span when you found out just that that’s the way that you am Did you think you had to stay at home and cry instead of laugh? Didn’t you know life would fill your cup all the way up, or at least half? Was it just a little too par for the course when you finally saw all that you are and then some more? Did you think life would take you out when you’re on your last stand? Didn’t you know, darlin’, course you did - you’ve even got the moxie for that Was it just a little bit wrapped nice when you finally got served the sugar instead of spice? Did you think you had to fall apart in order to keep your cool? Didn’t you know that this life’s too short to spend it thinkin’ that you should lose? Did it fall a little too into place when you turned to yourself and said, right to your face: “Hey, were you waitin’ for me to take you somewhere?” Didn’t you know, course you did, that you’re the one who’ll get you there Was it like the inside a fortune a cookie when you, you got that, you’re who gets to set yourself free Did you think you had to find the one to say “OPEN SESAME!” Didn’t you know, darlin’, course you did You’re the one who’s holding the key

I Feel You 03:49
Jump up high Get down low Move in fast Then take it slow Come on, baby Do what you know Come on, baby Make me go Feelin’ time pass me by Been lookin’ for somethin’ right I thought I would change my mind, But babe, I’m into you It’s all you Lookin’ for someone, Asking everyone what I can do about you Hey, have you seen her? She’s got a demeanor that’ll woo I’m a fool Now I know I need (Lookin’ for somethin’ right) (Thought I could take my time) What feels good to me (Lookin’ like somethin’ right) (Can’t get you off my mind) [CHORUS] I feel you When you walked in here tonight I knew I couldn’t let you out my sight Suddenly I’m so inclined to get next to you Who knew Now I’m lookin’ for nothin’ Ever since I’m lookin’ right at you, my true blue If I seem sure, it’s cause it sure seems you’re sure too, aren't you?

Chitter chatter tickie talkie talk talk talk Pitter patter slippy sloppy thoughts thoughts thoughts Bizzy buzzy buddy have you heard heard heard Oh, you say I haven’t said a word? When I wake up in the morning Before I’m up outta bed I am greeted without warning By what I’ve left unsaid (last night) When I go to brush my teeth I find my mouth open wide It’s as if I’ve just been speaking But it’s only me in sight I’m tryna sort through all this muck, muck, muck But my brain keeps gettin’ st-st-st-st-st-stuck [CHORUS] I’m just talkin’ to myself Don’t need anybody else I can entertain for days And never hear any complaints Do you think it such a crime That I like to speak my mind? But I’m the only one who hears Am I making myself clear? Call me on the tele make me ring, ring, ring Phone a friend and maybe I’ll go ding, ding, ding If the line is busy-izzy buzz, buzz, buzz Hold the line, I’m comin’ for you, love When I’m walking through the city And people pass me by I don’t ever greet them I just wave my reflection, “Hi!” When I go to catch the train And we are shoulder to shoulder I like to sing me a song Til somebody says, “Move over!” When it’s late at night I’m not feelin’ alright You know I just might, call you up, right? When we’re talkin’ on the phone, I feel less alone Reachin’ for a dial tone Just don’t put me on hold I know I filled your inbox And you could set alarm clocks By all the times our wires crossed I guess I’m just a chatterbox, well You say you love me But mine’s the first name in your book (in your contacts) You know my lines are never down, baby, but You’re ringin’ me off the hook (that goes) [CHORUS] I’m just a talkin’ to myself I think it keeps me in good health When I let the chit chat fly It really clears my mind Now if you try to call me up Even just to say “Sup?” And on my end you don’t hear a peep Then leave a message at the beep

A Toast 04:30
Here’s to you You’re my cup of morning brew You’re the kat unto my kit But I sure hope that we never split Cause you’re the shit Like Hammer said, you’re too legit to quit My number one, you are my ace You’re a trip to outer space You’re a whole lotta fresh burrata Te quiero mas que a nada Just when I’m feelin’ stressed You’re an L train run express You’re a hot pastrami from Katz’s I’ll have whatever she has If I’m right, you’re Joplin’s left Keep me in stride, baby, you're the best If I’m “Help,” you’re “Sgt. Pepper” And say I’m time, well you’re forever I don’t know how else I can tell ya I wouldn’t be me without ya If I’m a one bed, you’re stabilized rent Call me Lucy, you’re my Ethel Not sure what I like most about ya Just know I wanna be around ya Hats off to you You’re no alarm clock, you’re the snooze Live from New York, you’re Saturday night You’re gettin’ me into the show tonight You’re outta sight Amelia’s trans-Atlantic flight Kahlo’s eyebrow, Yoko’s scream O’keefe’s flowers, A Love Supreme You’re straight up Michelle Obama A Sunday brunch spent in pajamas Just when I think I’ve got the gist There you are, a Hitchcock twist A bichon frise that’s best in show A brain freeze from a licuado A taxi when I’m running late to a shockingly good blind date If I’m a loaf of bread, then you’re a serrated knife I’m walkin’ into walls, but you’re the night light Baby, you’re my disco ball I don’t know how to say it all If I’m bed sheets, you’re 1200 thread count And when I’m nervous, you never have a doubt Breaking news, this just in We’re the best pair since identical twins Times will fly, and baby times will crawl Time is up in no time at all I just wanna spend the whole time With you, you better half of mine You’re the one I wanna think big thoughts with You’re the one I wanna get caught with Here’s a promise, here’s a toast I might not be the best at sayin’ it But you’re the one I wanna be with most This one’s for you You are my tried and true You’re old school, you’re analog You’re how Liza sang “New York, New York” You’re a dork A slumber party makin’ forts You’re apricot, you’re figs, you’re dates Yeah, you are the Empire state You’re a 3AM chimichanga You’re at the front, leading the conga Just when I’m out of time You’re a mile stretch of green lights You’re air conditioning New slang, the next big thing When I say I’m callin’ home You’re on the end of that dial tone If I’m this song, then you’re the melody When I’m sick, baby, you’re the remedy I’m not tryna be so clever, I’m just sayin’ we go together And if you haven’t gotten the message yet Maybe I just haven’t said it yet Forget this song, and all the rhymes too, I’m just tryna say “I LOVE YOU!”

I Am 03:56
I am everything I am God Did you think that you were not? I am perfect I’m a mess I’m so much more, or was it less? I always wanted to be somebody Didn’t know it was me I’ve been runnin’ for such a long time Now I see I’m right in front of me I am me Unequivocally Who else would it be? And hey, it’s so nice to meet ya I’m so clear cut I don’t make sense I am the most infrequent gene sequence I am distracted I’ve got a plan There it goes And here I am I am out of time I am just in time I am losin’ my mind I ain’t afraid to die I am sayin’ things A way I’ve never said I am seeing things The way they’ve always been I am me Whaddaya think? Hey, can you see Past the nod and the wink? Remember, whatever they tell you to fear Is exactly the best part about you And you know what I mean Remember, it’s all up to you What you do with this life And I’m pretty sure there’s no warranty Remember that you could have a daughter That you could be a mother That you could love another human being Remember that you are a woman I am a woman and I’m tellin’ her, I’m letting go I’m tellin’ you, I’m letting go I am free You are free And it’s so nice to meet you I am
