about

“Sequoia” updates a classic style: the carefully wrought, often delicate, always surprising Laurel Canyon folk style, as done in the 1970s by Joni Mitchell, Jackie DeShannon and Joan Baez. A graduate of University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music, Abby applies the techniques and pop moves of the great California pop-folk masters on “Sequoia.”

“Sequoia” is a relationship song that’s about being your own person, for anyone who’s gone through a love affair, or maybe just a deep friendship, and needs a voice to remind them how going through these things brings us to somewhere else, and maybe even freedom. Abby has the music and the words, and she’s also got the heart.

lyrics

It's cold in California, it's snowing in the mountains
I hiked across a frozen lake and drank from nature's fountain
It's raining in the city, gasoline running looking pretty.
I let the rain drip down my back and caught a cold just like that.

These are the years, I will remember
Being on my own
I might be lonely but it's better
I get to know myself more

I've watched the years pass by, seasons change but still I'm
A kid stretched out on the lawn, feeling small beneath it all
In a photograph I saw my face, wrinkled old and full of age
I don't mind it much that way, I get to look like you one day

These are the years, I will remember
Being on my own
I might be lonely but it's better
I get to know myself more

These are the years, I will remember
Being on my own
I might be lonely but it's better
I get to know myself more

I get to know myself more
