My eyes are watering all night My nose is sniffling just thinking How you make me feel like your victim I can’t have enough tissues on hand Going through boxes and boxes Trying to rid you from my system Well, I should’ve know when That lump came in my throat That you’d be staying for a while And that it would be harder and harder To get you out of my system More boxes and boxes Used tissues overflowing My pillow paying the price for Having you over Getting you into my system Well, I should’ve know when That lump came in my throat And that you’d be staying for a while And that it would be harder and harder To get you out of my system They say that what I’ve got is contagious People should stay away I’m just trying to get over Having you here to stay Pho and tears Add in some sriracha I can’t help sniffling Hand me the vodka Trying to expel the demons Expel the feeling Of needing to get you out Well, I should’ve know when That lump came in my throat And that you’d be staying for a while And that it would be harder and harder To get you out of my system My last box of tissues Nearing the ending You bring me to tears My throat is swelling My nose is blowing ‘Cause I’m trying to get you out And I’m trying to get you out Trying to get you out of… And I’m trying to get you out of my… And I’m trying to get you out of my sy... And I’m trying to get you out of my system And I’m trying to get you out of my sys And I’m trying and trying Trying and trying Trying to get you Trying to get you out out

about

NO TURN LEFT BEHIND (LP) is the debut solo album of Lisa Said, Egyptian-American singer and songwriter. For these songs, she delves into her roots to represent the music she heard growing up in the hills of Tennessee—oldies, pop, folk, soul, and Arabic music.

Now living on the outskirts of Washington, DC, Lisa recorded these songs with legendary punk producer/engineer Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studio throughout most of 2015 and early 2016. Lisa came into the studio with the intention of finding the sweet spot between early 70s folk-rock and North African percussion. This project was jump-started with the contributions of Andrew Toy, a Washington, DC drummer who can play Middle Eastern percussion, the kind of drummer Lisa had been searching for...for years.

These songs were written as far back as 10 years ago, during breaks and in-between days of playing with other bands—garage, rock, powerpop, & art-rock—and represent her more folk & country side. It wasn’t until her last band dissolved that she decided to finally bring these songs out of the darkness.

Like some Southern storytelling, these songs definitely took the long route—some easy roads, some sharp turns and meanderings. Great talent led to more great talent. The music felt its way through the dark, arriving at the most textured and serendipitous convergence of talent and sound.


POPDOSE "...everything about this album is right; she has the gift of constructing memorable songs; quality melodies and smart (probably beyond her years) lyrics" — Rob Ross

NO DEPRESSION "...an impressive debut—sexy, smart, and eminently playable." — Jeff Burger

INNOCENT WORDS "...Lyrically, comparisons to folks like Dylan and Kristofferson are warranted as she has a way of taking relatable topics and making them come off as fresh and original."— John B. Moore

Lisa Said Lisbon, Portugal

She learned how to play guitar and bass hanging out with punks, hippies, and rock & rollers after college living up and down the East Coast. Eventually while living in Washington D.C., she recorded most of her solo music which is riddled with nostalgia and mashups of her musical past. ... more
