Nina has just finished an album called ‘Really Really do’ with her band The Husbands. It will be released in Ireland on April Friday the 13th 2007. The first single 'Flutter and Wow' is available by texting 'music 262' to 57501. The second single, the double a side; ‘Fitness’ and ‘Somewhere out there’ is available as a download on www.ninahynes.com in ‘shop’. She is currently touring with one of her Husbands. Fabien Leseure, a French musician and sound engineer. Together they make a unique sound that is atmospheric and dreamy indie pop. Nina has been playing with recorded sound since about the age of seven when she used to collect the tapes of bleeps from the heart machines in a hospital where her auntie worked. She used to record herself singing over the bleeps. She started the piano around this time also and wrote her first song at the age of eight about a man who used to dress up as a woman called 'Big Woman'. Since then, she has learned the guitar and her solo shows often incorporate live-layering and sampling using guitar pedals, spoons and whatever is at hand. She writes songs and music on guitar, piano, harp, computer or whatever instrument is lying around. She tours mostly solo but has been involved in many bands, instrumental, experimental, acoustic, electronic and electro rock. Often, her shows are atmospheric using costumes and visuals edited live to the music. She spent 2004-2006 in college studying sound engineering and music technology. She releases hand-made limited edition Eps on her own label Transplant Records and in the last two years has begun touring solo around Europe. In 2003, she was nominated for ‘Best Female’ in the Meteor Awards. She has performed on over twenty compilations, soundtracks and releases and has collaborated with many people including the experimental French composer Hector Zazou and Brian Eno collaborator, Harold Budd. Actress and Singer, Jane Birkin ("Je t'aime") has recently covered a song of Nina's on a collaboration album with Hector Zazou. Her first solo release was "Creation"(mini-album), released in 1999 and her subsequent debut album "Staros” in 2002. Both are critically acclaimed in Ireland and the USA (where she has toured extensively), and up until recently had only been available in America as an import and through Amazon.com, who voted “Creation” number 44 in their TOP 100 RELEASES OF THE YEAR - it topped releases by Sparklehorse, Pavement, Stereolab, Underworld and Tindersticks. In March 2006, her song ’Universal’ was in the final 50 out of 15,000 entries in the most prestigious and largest song writing competition in the US.

The World I'm for the world, the fight is over And yes, the world is ours forever This boat has been sinking but sail now This boat has been sailing so long Somehow finding it's working I'm seeing seeing so clearly I'm feeling somehow it's all making sense I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Yes I'm feeling everything understood Nothing left underneath the rug Yes we've got everything that we need. Ring out the bell, light up the firework Where once I fell, I now get up This train has been slowing the rhythm This train has been slowing down Somehow finding it's working I'm seeing seeing so clearly I'm feeling somehow it's all making sense Yes I'm feeling everything understood Nothing left underneath the rug Yes we've got everything that we need Rain Rain on me I see the sun through those clouds Shake me down I see divide in your mind I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake My enemy is your fear of me Rain, take my gun Lead me to the one Shoot me down Drink from the well of your fear Take me on I'll be your hope and despair Shame a lonely sword Takes me to the lord Rain, take my gun Lead me to the one Tarnished Tarnished the stars that fall from the sky Yours in one of the best horses Mine is a love no sinister light Of boys in white dresses on alters God was blindfolded when my heart came to you I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Death to the star that prevails over all Fear in the light of day The young and the old all at the same time A glittering trail of tarnish God was blindfolded When my heart came to you God was all tied up When the darkness came through Nothing ever feels that its good enough For your perfect private vision of the world Well me, I've had it all and I've had enough If its good enough for me, it's good enough for me And I wash, wash wash my dark heart In the wide open tide of you Dancing Suns Better believe now Better forsake doubt Better return back to headquarters This is your sanctuary So is the galaxy of your mind Chasing the day we can't get away From all the things that make us human Yes we are weak so we must seek something true Save the last dance for me How to accelerate No need to calculate Everything might be for a reason See synchronicity could be life kissing me When I'm blind facing the day We can't get away from all the things that make us human Yes we are weak so we must seek something more Save the last dance for me I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake How can we change in seconds What do we ever ask to see How can we save the Winter sun What do you see What for the clouds are gathering What's even sane Who gives the sun How come the clouds are gathering what do you see Only dance for me Who puts the sun in sun What's even real Real is sane How can we save the Winter sun Mexico I combat for solidarity Junkies need a place to fix No submission to vulgarity And Love is always hit or miss Sail the boat to somewhere to somewhere like Mexico Get to where the sun oh it burns Down down down down dog I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Yes defender of society Need a language I can speak Moved by motions of sobriety To find more than where ends just meet Sail the boat to somewhere to somewhere like Mexico Get to where the sun oh it burns Down down down down dog I combat for space and just some time more than survival So we can find that thing inside that gives us hope to feel alive Sail the boat to somewhere to somewhere like Mexico Get to where the sun oh it burns Down down down down dog Cuckoo I leave the door slightly open So if needs be, can get out I know my way in the darkness Can go so fast and still make no sound I leave my hat by the bedside I leave my boots at the foot I've got my back to the sunshine Leave no footprints or traces behind I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Cuckoo Cuckoo I see a fire in the distance I see a silence A bridge of sighs Bridge of size Bridge of sighs A bridge of sighs I left the light far behind me I hold the torch to my heart I wear the cloak of the starlight, am held only by night, No feelings to part Cuckoo Cuckoo I see a fire in the distance I see a silence A bridge of sighs Bridge of size Bridge of sighs A bridge of sighs Black Eagle He saw me as a blue bird Then I changed my feathers He could see He saw I was Black Eagle When I changed my feathers, he saw me Now he feels like he's my prey I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake The world had lost its wonder Then I changed the colours, I could see All I ever dreamed of When I changed my colours was here with me Now see how you have it all See how you have it all I say men don't know how to love Safe When the heat is on have to give in And you feel like you're gonna cave in When somebody passes by and gives you that certain look Oh how it feeds you You're swallowed up by gestation They crucify their heroes go unsung You're safe here I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Poisoned ivy and you're drinking all day Lose your mind again Forget to pray Vultures everywhere looking hungry Cast the clouds away Lose the angry Captured by imagination You're tuning in to manifestation You're safe here Goldmine There's danger in the morning sun There's danger in the morning sun By sunrise, where the crow flies, better be gone Gold, gold, gold mine Gold, gold, gold mine Don't waste your time seeing blind Money doesn't mean an awful lot 'Til your hungry outside, the door is locked Don't stay where you're slain Better be gone I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake That's just a losing game Money, success they failed me But I'm a winner, I'm a winner in my mind Gold, gold, gold mine Gold, gold,

some new life in these veins I was looking for comfort instead found a surgeon Who needed to dissect remains I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake And I fall out of my mind And I fall I was reading those books that are all about winning But all I did was lose time I thought David Lynch maybe he had the answer Go fishing without any line I took out my heart and I wrapped it in gold leaf Put it away for some time I found an old oak tree and buried it under In digging, I found my goldmine And I fall out of my mind And I fall out And I fall over the line And I fall

Looking For You I thought it was you and me Against the world, how wrong I was It's you and her and her and you now I don't claim to be original In any way we're all the same Go say the same things now I read your mails It came as some relief To know you could feel good again Still I know we've been losing you and me For years I was looking for you I was looking for you Looking for you Looking for you And I know that you're not one For looking back and all of that But take my word, there'll come a time you will And you'll remember then, the cogs in wheels Where they come from and what went wrong And where your heart belongs I saw your face It hit me like a blow To know you could feel good again Still I knew we've been losing you and me For years I was looking for you I was looking for you Looking for you Looking for you And you won't find that thing inside you gave to me You won't find that thing inside you gave to me I was looking for you Looking for you Looking for you I was looking for you Looking for you Looking for you I was looking for you Looking for you Looking for you Still Alive Will you be my Jekyll or my Hyde Nothing breaths under cyanide Your blue bird has fallen from the sky All things bloom, everything will die We will overcome We will overcome Tried to let sleeping dogs lie Something changed, the river ran dry You moved on so soon I new I was right to cut this bloom We will overcome We will overcome All my fears turned out to be right 13 years, the 7th of my life All those words 'Forever hold you tight' Your french love is running through the night We will overcome Tried to be all you wanted Inside me resisted your orders Your father's son, my mother's daughter I can't live where there's no laughter Hold on, hold on, tight We're still alive Hold on, hold on, tight We're still alive Tower Of Rivers All of the gardens I ever tended No matter how splendid, I moved on I'll never know the earth again under my feet no Nor plant a seed, nor watch it grow I fell into a well To the bottom of the sea I gave into the well Built a tower of rivers All of the ceilings that I ever painted Have somehow been tainted in my mind All of the curtains I made out of velvet They stand in the pulpit of time Where was my God when he put out his cigarette On my arm when I was small I'll never take a train again or pick up a paper Or see a skyscraper or go to the mall I fell into a well To the bottom of the sea I gave into the well Built a tower of rivers I die, I die But my body keeps living I die, I die But my body keeps giving I'll never leave my room again unless you drag me White Shoes I was a long time thinking about The things I love about you What is forever, forever is long All it's changing too That was a long time That was a long time I remember the view we first met You came as the sun set White shoes, eyes of blue Looking through me That was a long time That was a long time Revival Of Heart Where is the meaning Switching the channel Your facial expression Tower is falling down, down I am switching on revival of heart Cuckoo's got a hold (go) Build another nest Seasons will come and go Revival of the heart can be so slow All will come clean All will grow old Legacy is what we leave behind Trees will lose their leaves Love is blind Love is blind Love Where is the money Is all I hear you say You were the honey I was the bread while you were making hay All night and day, all work no play Cuckoo's got a hold (go) Build another nest Seasons will come and go Revival of the heart can be so slow All will come clean All will grow old Legacy is what we leave behind You can eat the fruit I'll chew the rind Love is blind Love Sweet Confectionary Working on forgiving you Not to take it personally You found someone who's skinnier than me Looks more like Charlotte Gainsbourg Who understands rigidity Bows down to the patriarchy Homages to men So much closer to your dream Sweet confectionary (You had me in chains) Sweet confectionary Ours is such a tragedy Started out as love supreme We were the cats who got the cream We were the ones who killed the dream Change the picture in your locket Chase the devil in your pocket Hanging man of Jodorowsky Chocolate heart's your sweet confectionary (You had me in chains) Sweet confectionary Sweet confectionary (You had me in chains) Go I knew what love was

( SnaG '05 - compilation album in Irish ) Ar na haigéin gan cruth Dhein mé mo dhícheall meangadh Gur tharraingt do mhéaracha Mé lán le grá chuig do shúile 'S chan tú "Seol chugam, seol chugam Tar chuig mo chuan Seo mé Seo mé Ag feitheamh ar do láimhe" An rabhas i do bhrionglóidí An raibh tú liom is mé faoi lán seoil Seo mo amadaíocht, Raic caillte ar do thrá 'S chan tú, "Ná leag, ná leag do lámh orm, Ó mo chroí, ó mo chroí ag Éalú ón mbrón" Mé chomh soineanta le leanbh úr Mé chomh fiáin leis an bhfarraige An cóir dom seasamh san rabharta, An cóir dom luí le bás mo chroí Éist liom, "Snámh chugam, snámh chugam, Tar i mo chuan Seo mé Seo mé Ag feitheamh i mo chuan"
( English Translation )
On the shapeless oceans I did my best to resist The pull of your fingers, And I full of love, towards your eyes And you sang, "Sail to me, sail to me Come into my sea Here I am, here I am Waiting for your hands." Was I in your dreams? Were you with me when I was under full sail? This is my foolishness, A lost reck on your shore And you sang; "Don't lay, don't lay your hand on me Oh my heart, oh my heart Fleeing from sadness." I as innocent as a newborn And I as wild as the sea Can I stand in the flood, Can I lie down with the death of my heart? Listen to me, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Come into my sea, Here I am, Here I am, Waiting in my sea."

Open The Seal (Sanctuary EP) I was seeing colours from the wild side Oh by the sun I wade Watching television for my lifeline Operas of the soap to wash away God speed Why so to seize The savior hear my pleas I was always hunting on the sidelines Looking for emotion and change I was always willing to be slavery For broken men abused me to cut their chord, they used me God speed Why so heart bleed If the saviour can see The slowest suicide in history Gained solace from the secrets of shame in pillow cases I, they said, was swapped just after birthing To carry out the days in soft foundation stains God speed Why so the wait The saviour never came And from the light comes blankets of seeds For future cover and hearts that bleed Open the seal Open the seal Open the seal Open the seal Open the seal Open the seal Open the seal Open the seal Open the seal God speed Why so to seize The saviour hear my pleas

Seize (Sanctuary EP) The day began the morning sun In certain lights you were the one I saw you in the chosen few, something to believe The world began the break of day The signal came from light to grey I could not see the wings of doves Blinded by the mist Seize and stars fall through the sky Seize when the stars fall through the sky Seize, seize, seize, seize The diving bell The butterfly The darkening of little lies The hostages of no surprise All those missing lives The moment when we cut away From everything that we could say And see it all just as it is Valley of the years Seize and the stars fall through the sky Seize and the stars fall through the sky Seize, seize, seize, seize Seize, seize Seize, seize Seize Seize, seize Seize Seize, seize Seize, seize Seize
Sewing Machine I've got a sewing machine in my brain Working on old tapestries patching up so neatly I've got a fallen tree in my heart Picking up the wood for fire Finding where to put desire To dream of a life was meant to be To dream of a life was meant for me I've got a tape recorder in my mind Taping up those broken dreams recording over ripped up seams I have a carnival in my soul Slowly slowly moving conjuring that magic sound I need to dream of a life was meant for me Somewhere out there Somewhere out there I've got a sewing machine Working on old tapestries patching up so neatly
Toxic Line (Sanctuary EP) Staring from the toxic hole in my heart Something is pulling me under From the moment I discovered that poison inside I needed to run to stay alive My poison feeds your poison We don't help each other out Sky falls down on wasted land See red Heart falls out Heart of gold Growing older Live a life to die To break the toxic line Break the toxic line Some wheel universal Turns its spokes from inside Something is telling me I could Could do better than finger pointing All to dead ends And nothing is broken if it's living My poison feeds your poison We don't help each other out Sky falls down on wasted land See red Heart falls out Heart of gold Growing older Live a life to die To break the toxic line Break the toxic line The catching of a morning light All too bright Heart of gold Growing older Live a life to die To break the toxic line Break the toxic line
Under Ether (Raging Fire EP) Spoken in hindsight, it always seems clear How do we let ourselves fall under ether Out of the frying pan and in to the fire You took the wind out of my sails Something subconscious that was more of a fighter Took out my bow and my arrows I fired In to the heart to the essence of love You were the wind in my sails to sail away

Wild Mountain Thyme Oh the summer time has come And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will you go lassie go And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will you go lassie go I will build my love a tower Near your pure crystal fountain and on it I will grow all the wild flowers of the mountain Will ye go lassie If my true love she were gone I will surely find another Where the wild mountain thyme grows Around the blooming heather Will you go lassie go And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie go
Winter Wonderland (One Little Rabbit Cat / Meander In To Christmas EP) Sleigh bells ring Are you listening In the lane Snow is glistening A beautiful sight We're happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland Gone away is the blue bird Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song As we go along Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend he is Parson Brown He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No, man" But you can do the job When you're in town Later on We'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid The plans that we've made Walking in a winter wonderland Sleigh bells ring Are you listening In the lane Snow is glistening A beautiful sight We're happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland Gone away is the blue bird Here to stay is a new bird But she sings a love song As we go along Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman Until the other children knock him down When it snows Ain't it thrilling Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play The eskimo way Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
