Lauren had her first show in the penthouse of club Felt in Boston in December of 2006. The upbeat and poppy Coffee Song, caps of the album with a surf inspired feel asking you “Why don’t you smell the coffee? I’m wide awake and you know I’m ready.” The drum heavy Unsung Hero is a tribute to soldiers that fight far away without recognition and showcases some of the amazing lead guitar work on the album. Release Me starts with lamenting violin that meets haunting vocal harmonies in the chorus and then explodes into a rock symphony. Some of the more rock oriented songs like Pieces of You, Unsung Hero, and Release Me feature crafty guitar work by Paul Tauterouff and touching violin by Pete Hartley. Falling Away from you has a trance like feel that slowly builds into its climactic finale, and then releases itself into emptiness.
