Inga Liljestrom is an Australian experimental singer-songwriter. Her musical style is broad and crosses many genres, from electronic to rock, folk, country, and avant garde. Originally from Bellingen on the north coast of New South Wales in Australia, Inga Studied jazz vocals at Southern Cross University, and it wasn't until moving to Sydney that she discovered an aptitude for composing. Her first group 'Helgrind' explored avant-garde rock with co-composer Felicity Fox. This led to solo explorations into electronics and string instruments for her two first albums 'Urchin' and later her critically acclaimed album 'Elk' on the Groovescooter label. She has been given four grants from the Australia Council for the Arts to compose her original music. She has performed and toured as guest singer with numerous groups such as jazz experimental group 'd.i.g' (Directions in Groove) for their album Curveystrasse; with Australian iconic group The Church, for their album El Momento Siguiente; made vocal contributions to "Dust Me Selecta" by Gerling which became a hit song and remixed Gotye's Mixed Blood. Since 1998, Liljestrom has released 5 albums (with a new one almost completed for release in 2013), one DVD and has performed many shows, including sold out performances at The Studio, Sydney Opera House; The Vanguard; 505; Sydney and Adelaide festivals; and also festivals in Europe including Czech Republique, Poland, France and more. Liljestrom toured and composed with the Branch Nebula production 'Paradise City', touring South America and regional Australia. In 2009 she relocated to Paris, France, and recorded 'Black Crow Jane', which resulted in a publishing and record deal with Emergence music, based in France. Her compositions and voice has also contributed to many films and television programs including feature 'Left Ear' by Andrew Wholley; and ABC's Rake series. In the last few years, she has been teaching University students in Europe and Australia as part of Residency programs, creating multi-media shows with art, music and film students.

Holding Still I could feel you leaving I could feel me leaving too Now it's oh so quiet Now it's oh so quiet I can almost hear you breath Again a copy paste, i'm tired of robot I'm holding still But

down I'm strung out on a clothes line Hung up on you I'm hung up and slightly misconstrued I'm washing and wearing Torn at my seams I need to get my body close to you Maybe like a favourite shirt Come wear me thin Wear my bones to breaking I'm constantly in sin Constantly Again a copy paste, i'm tired of robot Sometimes too much I feel too much Some times too little I feel small and equal But today in my unhemmed dress Will you notice The creases where your body lay And a little stain of marmalade The Wait Can't wait to see you I can't wait Can't wait to see you I can't wait But you got your new love I know this now You got your new love I know this now I'm going out of my fuckin' brain Waiting for you I'm going out of my fuckin' brain Waiting for you Again a copy paste, i'm tired of robot

Caught out I'm caught red handed Bloodied fingernails They're at my neck again Lover kill this fear in me I fear there's no-one hear but me An angel cuts her wing To bring on deeper things An angel cuts her wing To bring on deeper things Again a copy paste, i'm tired of robot Traffic breathes Like a demented lover And i'm running still I fear i am the hunted I hear the sirens And i wonder if it's me who has died An angel cuts her wing To bring on deeper things An angel cuts her wing To bring on deeper things 10 Smiles Everything broken Glued to your big marching shoes My heart Ballooning Somewhere safer Maybe sunstroked Maybe love chocked Teething pains Knock me down again Again a copy paste, i'm tired of robot Now I am ten Now I am ten smiles Now I am ten smiles from happiness Fly blown and swollen We've left it for too long now We're still avoiding what could be god send Now I am ten Now I am ten smiles Now I am ten smiles from happiness Touch Tongue I'm sending you a message of love I'm sending you a message of love Again a copy paste, i'm tired of robot You're travelling I'm trembling You're travelling I'm trembling

And on this most beautiful day Backed against the door High flyings birds They take us away They take us away You Shine Oh I feel all warm inside And your colours They burn my eyes I couldn't use my arms Until you let me out Your secret And with questions You closed your eyes Copy paste is dangerous for the world You shine You blind The glow from your body Like a landscape Unreal worlds of waking up With the aid of a little rope Two bodies read as one I stood as far as I could From your fire And with questions You closed your eyes You shine You blind You shine You blind

Everything Everything feels real Feels real with you Everything Everything It feels real with you Everything feels close I can touch inside Curled up inside with you He doesn't recognise the love I have for him yet Stored up in my insides Worn on the inside for so long now I carry him home with me Through the dark you can lead me Blindfolded You can lead me on Lead me on Like the sky the sunset Finally wake In the palm of gods hand I lie I just have to wait I just have to wait 'Cause the truth is I haven't put my hands where they belong I hope they belong with you I hope they belong with you Fall Fall for the first time Knowing it won't be the last Fall for the first time Knowing it won't be the last Early morning You walk quietly away Leave without a trace Don't you All the days beauty
