The Official Website For Auriol Hays
In the last few weeks I wrote the bulk of songs I am considering for the new album. The soundscape for the album can be summed up in one word – lush. So far this is where I stand in no order: Rolling 6’s ( magical) Stir a little love into everything( inspiring stuff) Crashproof […]
The state of my heart bothers me this morning. One of two things has to happen. I need to either spend time around people or sing more. I will lose my mind or it will run away with me. A friend said yesterday many people do not share their pain for fear of being branded […]
I am singing in three days time. I called the performance The Peep Show, as I am giving people a sneak preview of new songs written. Of course the phrase ‘peep show’ conjures up all sorts of naughty deliciousness, doesn’t it? My best friend says it will be a good show as it’s his birthday […]
My best friend is so happy and in love, and while he talked a song popped in my head. In it I sing, ‘Kiss me once, kiss me twice. Tell me lover if I taste nice …’ Of course I use my sweet white girl voice (that’s what my daughter calls it) and at the […]

We are all bright eyed and rose glasses and shit. I am posting this song to give perspective. It interests me….what happens….afterwards. My father once […]
Who would I have been if I became a musician in my 20’s and was without a husband or a kid? Crazy. Reckless and I would have been saddled with a different set of fears altogether. The exhuberance of youth and young adulthood is intoxicating. All of which I missed out on. And it changed […]
Right now the sun is young woman in her prime, displaying her every delicious curve. I can hear cars racing by, a dog bark and birds trying to be heard. The sound of traffic reminds me of the sea. As does a mass of people. Forever travelling between where they think they should be. Only […]
What is there to say about this song? Ah, I dreamed I was on stage with this musician, Zubz. He is a fantastic human being and a very talented artist. After the dream and writing this song I decided to get hold of him and bobs-your-uncle the song was complete. It was written […]
