Biography:
Singer-songwriter-pianist Taylor Giacoma is quickly becoming known on the indie music scene for a distinctive style that has been described both as folky pop and poppy folk - and is probably neither. Originally learning to sing and play piano by ear and later classically-trained, her music is both easily accessible and remarkably complex. Her lyrics are unusually intellectual and highly narrative, taking the listener on uniquely intimate and yet wonderfully universal journeys of love, loss, and perseverance.

I lost my stripes in a field of zebras

I lost my spots in a field of cows
G/D D G/D D
And when I went back to the fields to find
C D C
them they said, ‘You’re not one of us, no;
D G/D D
You’re not one of us now.’
G/D D G/D D
I lost my black in a sky of ravens

I lost my skin in water well above my head
G/D D G/D D
And when I went back to the shore to find them
C D C D
The shore wasn’t so sure anymore
G/D D G/D D
So I lost my way and went out to sea
G/D D A D
I lost my will when I lost my way
G/D D G/D D
And let the waves crash right over me
C D
Thinking, ‘Lost is the last thing
C D C
I’ll ever be’, sinking…
D C D
‘Lost is the last thing I’ll ever be,
C D C D
Oh no, lost is the last thing I’ll ever be.’
