C’mon Now Baby
by Jennifer Elster

My garden is of love’s wisdom
Let us not fear the walk
I am not just a woman,
but a Woman
with life’s deepest wisdom
from life’s shivering
realities
and I want you
through and through.
So c’mon now baby,
c’mon now baby
c’mon now baby
come on.

You Know What Will Happen (Lyrics) By Jennifer Elster

Mama said the moon don’t lie,
Eat your fire
Disappear in the sky.
Leave you on earth to think about you and I
I’m a love volcano
Razor sharp
Lazer eyes.

But if you touch this
You know what will happen.
You’ll burn your fingers
Is that good?
It’s fire.

How We Do (official music video)

Song and video by Jennifer Elster. Mike Handelman on Electric Guitar. Bre Plaza on Drums

How We Do is the third single from Jennifer Elster's, upcoming, debut album of love and experimental songs.

How We Do (Lyrics) By Jennifer Elster
I love you.
And I know, I know, I know, you love me too.
It's what we do. To get through.
And another, another, another, won't due.
Your struggles, your fears, your triumphs, your tears, your failed cover-ups, is how you do. To get through.
I watched you become you.
My tenderness, and even my chaos too. Is how I do.
God I love you.

The Hurricane

We Don't Want That For Our Future, Do We?

By Jennifer Elster

“I am in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. Surviving a natural disaster is brutal. We don't want this for our future. Landmine life. House raging rapids. Everything gone outside. Filling up inside. Warning of tornado looming overhead. Slow drown, maybe. Or all at once. No we don't want this for our future, do we? We don't want that for our future, do we? Smattered existence. My chairs down the road. Cherished belongings destroyed. Take down the floors and the walls. Where'd everything go? Even worse, looking for someone you know. We don't want that for our future, do we? No, we don't want that for our future, do we?

THE VIRUS SONG lyrics (with piano)

Jennifer Elster

You’ got me cleaning , got me doing the floors.
You’ got me wiping down the handles of doors.
Look at you go, you’re relentless and free.
And you just might kill me.

I don’t see dying, don’t see dying this way.
Oh virus please, oh virus please go away.
Look at you go, you’re relentless and free.
And you just might be what kills me.

CEMETERY: IS DEATH?

By Jennifer Elster

Jennifer Elster invites a group of talented New York City artists to her studio . Upon arrival, they become part of a tragicomedy, an experimental musical art piece that is just as much charged with anger as it is humor, but still the question remains: IS DEATH FINITE? This piece has been performed at The Development Underground, The New Museum, Central Booking Gallery, Cornelia Street Cafe, and Westpark.

IS DEATH FINITE? features Jennifer Elster, who wrote and directed the piece as well as provided harmony and vocals. Sugar Vendil (composer and classical pianist and interdisciplinary artists, Antonym) and Trevor Gureckis (award-winning composer and producer, Servant, Old) play the keyboard, Crockett Doob (editor, Beasts of the Southern Wild) is on drums and Julia Wilkins (experimental dancer, ‘here there nowhere’ ) dances.

THE VIRUS SONG lyrics (with keyboard)

You got me cleaning and doing the floors.
You’ve got me wiping down the handles of doors. Look at you go, you’re relentless and free.
And you just might kill me.
I don’t see dying, don’t see dying this way. Oh virus, virus, virus please go away.
Am I what you are here for, a living bacteria, a speckle, a spore.
I don’t see dying, don’t see dying this way.
Oh please, oh please virus, oh please go away. Look at you go, you’re relentless and free.
You just might be the thing that kills me.

On my fifteenth birthday my dad brought a man. Into our place, and he was tall when he stand.
I said “don’t leave me, don’t leave with him.” He’s jacked up and has a weird look on his face. But he didn’t listen, didn’t listen to me.
The man was crying about his son who got killed the night before.
My dad said “I couldn’t imagine that happening to my daughter” then he closed the bathroom door.

AMID THE BEAUTY

"Here is a performance  I did of a song I wrote 'Amid the Beauty'. Chris Colton played on my grandfather’ piano. This has been an incredibly challenging year for us all and so much worse for so many.It has also been an incredible year with so many fantastic people and memories. 'Amid the beauty I see broken pieces everywhere. Amid the darkness I see beauty everywhere.'
