Crazy girl, crazy life, pretty face and stormy nights stunning eyes and crazy hair, You’ll think the girl’s alright Crazy girl, crazy life, pretty face and stormy nights stunning eyes and crazy hair. I’ll tell you a story about a girl I once knew, She’ll light up your life as only she can do, she’s no lady, but a friend of mine. Stunning eyes and crazy hair and outrageous clothes only she can wear, She’s no lady, but a friend of mine. Pretty face and stormy nights, she’ll sell you a story, you’ll think the girl’s alright. Foreign name and foreign tongue, pack of lies, she’ll be just out having fun. Crazy girl, crazy life, sweet little mix of laughter and strife, she’s no lady, but a friend of mine. Brings loads of joy and she gets you all confused, She’ll turn on your lights and blow your fuse She’ll play with your mind and play with your brain, She’ll get you all hot and stop your train. She’s a puzzle and a wonderful mix, she’ll break your heart in a thousand million tricks Crazy girl, crazy life, pretty face and stormy nights, stunning eyes and crazy hair, You’ll think the girl’s alright. Crazy girl, crazy life, pretty face and stormy nights stunning eyes and crazy hair. As your two souls meet forever a friend, You’ll wish for that feeling to never end. She’s no lady, but a friend of mine. She’s no lady, but a friend of mine. And I’m so pleased she’s a friend of mine.

One More Day 04:54
I’m feeling you, are you feeling me I hope that you’re well and bless your journey. May it be filled with love and good company Separated for 15 years I never thought the day would come where a beer on a porch would bring me tears, but here we go round 2 3 4 each day is a blessing how could we ask for more So I count a 1 2 3 and I look at you lovingly and laugh a while. And if only for that moment, we can always look back and smile. All I can ask for is one day more with you. All I can ask for is one day more with you. A river cries and the tears sub side, she cries for you and me. I’m sick of all these love songs reminding me of you and what can I do, baby. All I can ask for is one day more with you. All I can ask for is one day more with you.

about

With three critically acclaimed albums to her credit, this will be Ashley Wey’s first album of primarily original music. Hummingbird is a genre bending album melding Jazz, Pop, Drum ‘n’ Bass, and Hip Hop. Wey seamlessly blends her roots in acoustic music and the jazz tradition with electronic influences, pop writing, and a modern edge.

This album brings together material written over a 15 year period including songs that have been waiting for the right combination of performers to bring them to life.

The album and title track’s namesake came from a backstage conversation with Lisa Fisher (Rolling Stones, 20 Feet From Stardom) when the Ashley Wey Trio opened for her in Victoria in 2018.
Ashley wrote a song inspired by the great Lisa Fischer for this show, and it was titled by Lisa Fischer herself! The title track Hummingbird was Ashley’s reflection of Lisa Fischer’s essence in her eyes.

Wey now continues to see Hummingbirds everyday from her studio window and pulls inspiration from this incredible strong little beautiful bird.

While Ashley continues to earn respect in the jazz world, her unique genre-bending sound is what sets her apart as she masterfully mixes jazz and pop, bringing virtuosity and unpredictability to songs that are concise and catchy. True expression.

Stay tuned for more from Ashley Wey coming soon.
