The Official Website For Auriol Hays
Relationships of all kinds deeply fascinate me. I often tell my friends to listen to their bodies if their minds are clouded. Our bodies do not lie. A long while ago, perhaps four years back, I scribbled in my notebook that I feel like a wolf, searching for melodies and words when my legs are […]
I am sharing music at various stages of production. This is 70% done. There are things that need to be fixed. I don’t know if it will make the album…but let’s see. Written for a stubborn man who well…wouldn’t listen. Dude got into a car accident. Anyhoo, here’s the 70% version of it. Matt worked […]
This was written on a boat with Josey Fields, who sings with me and Andre Scheepers, who produced the track. This is not the best version in terms of sound. It can be found on my Dreaming Music album….and sums up how I feel about people in my life.

This was recorded on a phone. Rodney and I rehearsing Stir A Little Love, written for my Mother. Forgive the bad sound and this is not what the song will sound like on completion. You can hear Amic beatboxing lightly in the background. Lyrics Stir a little love into everything You do my Mother says […]
This morning I thought of my daughter. My kid who has seen her fair share of both my ex husband and I losing our shit. I thought of everything she endured and overcame. Look, I am the kinda Mother who will sit on the floor of a mall and chuck out the contents of my […]
‘He was fully clothed Gilda!’ I said while trying to explain why I didn’t visit her. I saw this old dude in my dream dancing his socks off to one of my songs. I woke up with only the bass sounding and the opening lines about my heart blooming and I love you stuff ringing […]
I feel fantastic and here’s why. I have zero fucks to give. Also, I know how the new album ends. I can hear it in my head already. All that lush, rich sound that begs the question – what’s next? The idea of gravitating to the place where one is happiest has great appeal. Or […]
