Julie Doiron began her career in music in 1990 at the age of 18 in Moncton, New Brunswick Canada playing bass in Eric's Trip, (name from a Sonic Youth song title) a folky yet psychedelic band that was to become the undisputed underground darling of Canadian Music. Eric's trip were the first of many maritime Canadians signed to Sub Pop and found international recognition releasing several albums and touring widely. Following 1996's Purple Blue, Eric's Trip announced their break-up. Julie Doiron began to write more of her own songs in 1993 which she released on 7" and performed solo while still in Eric's trip. In 1996 as Eric's trip found it's end she released her first solo album titled "Broken Girl" a temporary moniker Julie adopted to express her feelings at the time. The record was released on her own label Sappy Records. Broken Girl is an intimate record that gave the listener a fuller sense of Julie's personality and vocal style than Eric's Trip did. Following Broken Girl, Julie toured on and off throughout Canada for the remainder of the year. Back at home, she released records by Moonsocket, Orange Glass, Snailhouse, and Elevator to Hell on Sappy. For her second album, "Loneliest in the morning" Julie decided to drop the moniker Broken Girl, as she began a stronger solo career. She recorded "loneliest" in Memphis with Dave Shouse (Grifters), Howe Gelb (Giant Sand), Doug Easley, and Davis McCain. Julie used a variety of new instruments on the record, but maintained her earlier sparse arrangements. The record was released in 1997 on Sub Pop. Now... Julie Doiron and her husband, artist and painter Jon Claytor moved with their two children from New Brunswick to Montreal Quebec and Julie signed to Tree records in the US. Back in Canada, she maintained her label Sappy and in 1999 she released her EP "Will you Still Love Me?" which gained much praise for a new maturity. The album featured contributions from her friends from Ottawa's the Wooden Stars . In March and April of 1999 Julie recorded three Vocal Tracks for The Wooden Stars "The Moon" full-length on Matlock Records and photographed the cover artwork. Everything Julie Doiron has done in the past came together on her Fall of 1999 Sappy Records full-length "Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars". It is the first album she has recorded with a band since her days with Eric's Trip.The delicately powerful effect of the Wooden Stars has given Julie's songs an intensity and vibrancy that was previously only hinted at. On March 12 2000 Julie won a Juno (Coveted Canadian Entertainment Award, for which Eric's trip was nominated) for "Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars" and in January the album was released on Tree in the US and in Europe. In late 1999 Julie published a book of her photographs with New Brunswick's Broken Jaw Press entitled "The Longest Winter" with words by Ottawa writer Ian Roy. Julie has long been an avid photographer studying photography at Mount Allison University in Sackville NB, Julie often does and has done her own promotional photos and cover artwork along with her husband, painter Jon Claytor. Jon also wrote and directed Julie's new video for "Dance Music". In 2000 Julie has toured Europe, the US and Canada, and recorded three tracks on the latest Tragically Hip record "Music@Work" as well as working with Hip front man Gord Downie on his latest solo record "Coke Machine Glow". Julie also has three songs on the Shanti projects collection 2 on Badman records. She has recorded a new French record "desormais" for release in october, and an English release for February 2002 on Endearing Records in Canada and JagJaguwar in the USA. Julie now lives in Sackville New Brunswick with her family.

Broken Girl
Dance Music Please turn off your dance music Please go to bed now I won't get up too early tomorrow I won't sleep too late tonight 'Cause I'm tired Waiting for you to decide You might be wrong and hide Your feelings away from me I know that you can't hide yourself from me Too long and I could be gone and I know That you need me here now And you know I never will leave 'Cause here You're what I need and they can Say anything they want I'll try not to let it hurt But it's hard To do every little thing right There's sometimes when I just might Think every one else is wrong
Elevator show Went to see you play for the first time What a time People looked at me and I think They wondered why That I was not up there I was not up there With you Watched and listened for the first time I was kind of sad After you played a while I realised I was kind of glad That I was not up there It would not be fair To you And you did real well You did real well together We did well together But not forever I was kind of scared of how I'd feel When I got there Might have thought that you were wrong I was scared 'Cause I was not up there I was not up there With you And you did real well You did real well together We did well together But not forever Crumble I went there and I Saw what happened and you Told me no differently You told me You said you Please don't go there Don't leave me And please don't leave me here Try to understand If you will leave me here And I won't understand I watched you and I Saw you crumble down and You said you'd had enough I saw you You told me You said you'd stop You're sorry And please don't leave me here Try to understand If you will leave me here And I won't understand Soon coming closer You go everywhere I hope you're never there I think it's hardly fair To wake up so unscarred You can't deny me I know that's wrong to say What's wrong with me? I didn't mean it at all Maybe they don't seem to care I hope I'll soon be there He will be there for me One, two, three It's coming closer Hits me much harder now I feel so much faster I can't even bother at all He's so near me And I feel so free He can really see me, yea He'll never change his mind Tell me why you want her Do you think she will be there? He will be there for me One, two, three August 10 I'm sorry, sweetie, please don't go I always knew that you would know I know that what I did was wrong I always thought I'd be more strong I guess I don't know what to say You look like you feel the same way I feel like I could run away You'll find me here another day Why...why... Why...why... Why...why... Why...why... Taller beauty You dyed your hair this year You didn't like the color Looked the same to me The same, but only darker You cut your hair last year I find it makes you taller And your face looks smooth You really do look younger And you envied me once truly For my youth and all my beauty It was nice of you to tell me Oh I wonder why you told me And I wish you would've seen me more In the letter you sent me once You wrote of all you'd seen and done Seemed that you quite missed me Me, I grew my hair out And the dye is almost gone now But I've grown too much since then And you'd think my youth is gone But said that's good and bad Though this makes me kind of sad It was nice of you to tell me Oh I wonder why you told me But I wish you would have left me alone Grammy I have a problem She is not getting better How I will I know when to leave her I am so scared of this I wish she'd get rid of it Though it doesn't seem like she will soon And my heart hurts very much And my head hurts just as much But I know neither hurts like hers I go see her now I hope she is feeling well My mum told me she got more pills She is coming home today I hope she will be to stay But I know it can only be awhile And my heart hurts very much And my head hurts just as much But I know neither hurts like hers And my heart hurts very much And my head hurts just as much But I know neither hurts like hers Grew smaller Did you hear me when I told you how I felt Did anybody hear me at all Did you see the way I looked when I fell down the steps Did anybody see me fall at all I don't know if I can make it I don't know if I will at all Don't really know how to take it I sort of hope no one knows at all They know it all Did you see the way I grew when I got smaller Did they even say I got too small Did you know the way I felt when I didn't notice Did you even think I didn't believe it all I don't know if I can make it I don't know if I will at all I don't really know how to take it I sort of hope no one knows at all They know it all
Happy lucky girl She went all the way I met all the same You said it's not the same I guess I can't complain She came in the room My heart felt like a broom Sweeping across the floor I want you more and more Now she's left our lives She's happy and I know why I still feel just the same way You'll have me till I float away Good girls on a sleigh She's flying away She's happy and that's ok She'll do it again. Sorry story I fell for you I fell for you Wasn't quite sure what to do When we walked outside I felt you rub against my side Rain and thunder showered down Wasn't quite sure of the sound Then you asked me of my age And then I realized Realized what kind of game Or maybe not a game at all Maybe you really felt the same As I did all along The overwhelming ways about you Made me think, I really thought You were so right, I thought you were Forgot about my real love Could I be so naive Or did you really feel Was I oh so special, Or just another girl 'Cause we're all around the world Tons of pretty girls Could I be the one Was it just for fun 'Cause it really was a lot of fun But I don't think I really won You just wanted to have some fun With someone who thought they wanted some. So low I went there alone As if you hadn't known And if you would have come You would have found me dumb Dumb is how I felt When you left me without So hard for me to know Want to know I'm not the only one Then you came to our show You're all I thought about I shouldn't do that, though I can't do things like that, I'm a solo You asked me to make some moves I didn't dare refuse I thought you were so cute I didn't think that you could go so low Oh my gosh what could I do These things should be thought through sometimes He's always here for me But you, where will you be You will never be Waiting for baby We've been waiting so long for you It feels like you will be here real soon I know I can hardly wait this whole thing through Everybody seems real happy too I can tell 'cause they all have smiles for you And we know there's so much we will do And when you finally come to us my dear I hope we will be everything you need So we know there will be many sleepless nights And I worry that I won't do things right And I hope you will love us with all your might Little one don't you worry about a thing We may be new but we'll do our best to see That you will get all the love you need And when you finally come to us my dear I hope we will be everything you need

And the Wooden Stars
The last time This will be the last time This will be the last time This will be the last time This will be the last time Anyone is pretty when she smiles I mean that she's smiling like she's laughing Anyone is pretty when she smiles Me, I'm only pretty when I'm crying Maybe that's how it works for me Maybe that's how it works for me
Gone Gone All that I can think about is fall days Winter snows and summer riding on my own I am in my bed, cover up your head on Da ra da ra... And you're gone And you're gone and I know And I'm glad And I'm glad and I hope you'll find the one Da ra da ra... And you're gone And you're gone and I know And I'm glad And I'm glad and I hope you'll find the one The Longest winter It's been a long long winter Don't remember them this cold Not even the prank calls Are helping to pass the time anymore So take away my guitar Take away the chords Take away the shitty links until You better take my heart And don't bother calling back No really, don't bother unless you know Spring has come to me for good Takes almost an hour to warm myself most times There aren't enough blankets without you here And now I wonder why I bother anyway So give me all the warmth Give me all your smiles Give me all the sunshine baby And give me back my heart And I hope you think to call me When you're here it is raining But I know Spring won't come to me so soon But maybe we'll be ready to see you The best thing for me The best thing for me to do is run faster than you The best thing for me to do is run faster than you If I do I will make it And when I do I may grow up a little bit Songs I love Songs for me Wouldn't it be nice Songs for me Songs for me Won't somebody write a song for me After tomorrow I could be a different woman Could you bring me one more drink After tonight Wouldn't it be nice Songs I love Songs for me Won't somebody write a song for me Songs for me Songs for me Wouldn't it be nice
In this dark Your hand is perfumed and white Touching my face and I am teary eyed I can still see the shame My arms are shaking my fingers are numb I can barely coordinate myself Use your hand for me Every time things go so well I think of all the things that have gone this wrong Timing's never been worse Your hair is sparkling white All covered in snow In my ugly coat tonight Move the hair from my face My glasses are foggy and broken My eyesight is worsening in this dark Tell me will you see Every time things go so well I think of all the things that have gone this wrong Timing's never been worse
Drums and horns
Just stood there staring at the backyard Listening to drums and horns Sirens waving by Listening to drums and horns Seems I saw this last time, too Scared because I think of you Hearing only groans and moans I can only think of you Silence is good tonight Better than the other night So, so good tonight It seems I can see your eyes Looking into mine It seems I can see your eyes Smoky eyes Another lonely night Another lonely night Another lonely night Sad, sad night Another lonely night Another lonely night You should see my eyes Sad, sad eyes Another lonely night Another lonely night Another lonely night Sad, sad night Another lonely night Another lonely night You should see my eyes Sad, sad eyes

Heart And Crime
Wintermitts Lego toys on the counters Dolls stuffed in a bag (?) All the wintermitts on the radiators Are some of the things that I love Boots and boots and boots Are stacked on wet newspapers There're puddles to avoid And the chorus from the kitchen sings "I love you" Toilet paper tubes in every room He will use for constructions Drawings of 'charmant' when she was a baby In my belly they were safe They used to catch me crying I should not have cried that much But then they would console me They have such a gentle touch Would bring me a kleenex and tell me Everything was okay Now I know it will be When I go away They go on without me But it never is the same And it makes my heart ache
Too much I don't want to make you cry Today you're not here And I thought if I ignored you You would go away Maybe you love me too much Maybe I should call a taxi and have him take me to nowhere Or maybe I should call a taxi and have him take me straight to you Well me, I've never been ignored like this About time I dreamed that everything was good And you were here with me, and everything was good Maybe I love you too much (maybe I love you too much) Maybe I love you too much (maybe I love you too much) Maybe I love you too much (maybe I love you too much) Maybe I love you too much Shivers + crickets I haven't got what it takes I haven't got what they say it takes I haven't got you I haven't got you Once I did It was good Then I did What I should Now I know I must have been crazy Once I did It was good Then I did What I should Now I know I must have been crazy Crazy In the evening In the nearest Oh, talking could be heard When asked what their story was I could only wonder In the evening In the evening Turning on the whispers In the evening In the evening Nothing, only just shivers And crickets All their broken hearts All their eyes are on me They can tell something is wrong But they don't know what it is They don't know that I know And I don't know you And he's not saying anything Just not saying anything And she is just along for the party How did I get so lucky she said Nauseous from a broken heart These few ain't happy Doesn't matter what they say I just need to hear it from you Nauseous from a broken heart These few ain't happy 'Cause every day is a reminder of Everything I fail Every time I look at you Everything is a reminder of Everything I knew Everytime I look at you Sending the photographs Kissed you goodbye for the last time And I can't wait to see them I'll send you the photographs So you can imagine it all Now I'm pushing my way home I had hoped it would be all over town And now I'm tearing off all my clothes So you can have a good look While you watch me through your window But he's the best thing to happen to me And I'm the best thing for him He's the best thing to happen to me And I'm the best thing for him Now I'm smashing all the beer bottles Cause I cant stand the snow no more And you must be some kind of joke But I just can't drink no more Cause he's the best to happen to me And I'm the best thing for him He's the best thing to happen to me And I'm the best thing for him He's the best thing to happen to me And I'm the best thing for him He's the best thing to happen to me
I Broke His Heart I broke his heart He gave me everything And I broke all their hearts And all they ever wanted Was me to be happy And all they ever wanted Was me to be happy
The Surgery Is Over Wait it out, it can't last forever The surgery is over The car with the flashing lights has gone And left me here to it for this Maybe someone could come by And hold my hand for a while And tell me stories of their first true love Some of their failures ??? Stories I could warm the heart Maybe someone could get some water And pass a brush through my hair And pull it gently with their fingers Mess it up a bit, make me feel alive Remind me what I'm here for Oh please wait for this Oh please wait for me Oh please wait for this Oh please wait for me
Who Will Be The One Who will be the one You, I guess Who will be the one You, I guess 'Cause we've all been waiting for this And we know it can't be me No, it won't be me But there's no one else here it should be Who will be the one You will take Whole Whole Whole Whole
The One You Love Must take note of this stagger heart It's good for that Good riddance to it anyway, to you And if I close my eyes Who needs a heart like mine Not you Who needs a body like mine Not you It's over It's over And a man at the bar is asking me What's wrong What's wrong
I Love To Dance All I have to ask Everybody has gone to drink And nobody is dancing And I'm not even dancing And I love to dance It's a beautiful room A nice red curtain seems to move 'em Reminded of the food we ate And the time it was And all I have to ask Is why you left And how you have forgotten And all I have to ask Is why you left And how you have forgotten Everybody's looking away And nobody's talking I'm the only one talking And now I hate all that I've said Oh my God I want to leave again I died when it was over Sickened to death 'Til I finally remembered To breathe, to breathe And to forget Everybody has gone to dance And nobody is drinking And I'm not even drinking
It's okay to stare I was spilling the drinks all over me And you were just staring at the ground And just like always I can't figure out Why we are here It's okay to stay still if it makes you better It's okay to stare if it keeps you from leaving me It's good that we didn't look at each other It is good that we don't talk
Oh these walls I close my eyes to this day These walls are telling me nothing Turning my back on this day Oh, these walls are telling me nothing And the neighbours here don't understand How I could miss you And the spaces here are small And the yelling makes them small So I can never call you The hours would never match The neighbours, how loud So I'll just wait until I see you again And the neighbours here don't understand How I could miss you And the spaces here are small And their yelling makes them small So I'm closing my eyes to this life Sending off all my hopes on this flight They just might reach you before I do See you soon And the neighbours here don't understand How I could miss you And the spaces here are small And the yelling makes them small

I know that there’s a lesson here for me to learn I’ve been here before, I’ve been here before I know that there’s a lesson here for me to learn I’ve been here before, I’ve been here before I know that there’s a lesson here for me to learn I’m ready to learn Cause I’ve been here before I’ve been here before Mayo Y’a plus de mayo dans l’fridge Y reste plus grand espoir Rien qu’une carotte dans l’tiroir Mais une radio su’l comptoir Save me baby please J’ai l’espoir qui s’épuise Y'a presque plus de Cheez Whiz Dans l’fridge Quelquefois chus drette Quelquefois chus croche J’ai une chainsaw dans l’garage J’t’aime tellement que j’te gage Cinq piastres Quelquefois je pleure Save me baby please J’ai l’espoir qui s’épuise Reste presque plus de Cheez Whiz Dans l’fridge I Remember Being Home Not sure for how long Cared for by our dreams I remember being held I remember feeling free Fire smoky in our hearts Unsteady in our plans We call each other often We fall asleep alone The sky is full of clouds Birds are in the trees The air is feeling cold The air is holding me Fire fading in my heart My curtains barely closed The light is growing dark I remember being home Too Late C’est too late C’est too late en ostie Même si mon cœur bat Il reste pus grand vie C’est too late C’est too late en ostie Non y’a pus grand lumière Qui passe par les châssis J’ai eu beau me morfondre C’est too late pour toi aussi C’est too late C’est too late en ostie Tu chuchotes et pis tu pleures Moi j’me sens cave en maudit Jean-Talon Market I sent you a late-night message Asking if you want to meet up in the morning Maybe we could get a coffee Maybe we could walk around the market Maybe it will be a beautiful morning Maybe I can ask you your last name I mean like I can really ask you Ask you your real last name So we walked around the market And we went to grab a coffee And we walked on the old streets where I used to live And found a bench and we sat And we talked And I kissed you And we talked And I kissed you And we talked Yeah, I kissed you And after then I had to go back home You’d offered to take me to the airport We drove and drove to the airport I felt like I’d known you for a long time Yeah, I felt like I’d known you for quite a long time And I kissed you Yeah, I kissed you Yeah, I kissed you And now it’s all I can think about Yeah, it’s all I can think about Yeah, it’s all I can think about Vénus Vénus couchée dans l’ciel Moi dans mon lit J’checke en arrière La vie est belle J’connais rien aux étoiles Pis je m’ennuie d’toi Plus rien à faire Je regarde dans l’ciel C’est grand chez vous Ça l’air frette en maudit Ça me donne la chienne J’sais ben que les lampadaires Font leur d’job Lui devant la maison M’énerve un peu Y nous attire les mouches noires À toutes les soirs En plus de m’empêcher De te voir C’est grand chez vous Ça l’air frette en maudit Ça me donne la chienne C’est quand même pas mal trippant De se voir toués soirs Tes histoires me donnent de l’espoir Était tant que l’hiver finisse Là, tu m’éclaires Reste juste trois soirs pour se voir C’est grand chez vous Ça l’air frette en maudit Ça me donne la chienne C’est grand chez vous Ça l’air frette en maudit Ça me donne la chienne My Brain My brain goes too fast E'j't’aime pas mal fort À chaque fois que j’me vire de bord J’espère te voir encore E'j't’aime vraiment fort Moi, je dors encore Toi, t’es parti de ton bord À chaque fois que j’me vire de bord J’espère te voir encore E'j't’aime vraiment fort
