The essays are companion pieces to the compositions on her third album, Conversations with My Other Voice.

Buick will sign all books purchased here.
"On the pages of Conversations with My Other Voice, Buick Audra proves adept at handling the fallout associated with a dysfunctional childhood, while coping with the rigors of finding her voice as a multi-media artist in a world where self-acceptance is challenged on a daily basis. The result of which undertaking is the writer's hard-won right to identify as an independent woman who is blessed with the yearning to create meaningful art."

2. MASS: Essays on Memory, Language, & the State of Massachusetts - In her second collection, Buick Audra dives into the dark blue waters of her memory to deliver a body of work about her adolescence and early adulthood in Massachusetts. She swims between formative friendship dynamics, collaborations, and the music scene that shaped her early career. The essays serve as companion pieces to the songs of the third Friendship Commanders album, MASS. Between the music and the prose, Buick demonstrates that putting new language around older experiences can sometimes change the narrative entirely.

five years ago, tonight
I was not a bride, but I loved you
I loved you
five years ago, today
you hadn’t heard me say that I would be true
but I think you knew
and I laid down in a room with all the girls, so wide awake
I remember thinking, “after this, well, nothing is the same”
and baby, how about you?
do the miles of road ever get old?
are you ever blue?
‘cause honey, to tell you the truth
I’ve been feeling kind of borrowed
almost never new
oh, baby, how about you?
well, I met you on a cold
twenty-three-year-old kind of a night
in that sad old town
you loved me right away—or so you always say
and I was broken, by someone who’d let me down
and we laid down in your room, and your best friend was right next door
I fell asleep still smiling, do I do that anymore?
oh, and baby, how about you?
do the miles of road ever get old?
are you ever blue?
oh, ‘cause honey, to tell you the truth
I’ve been feeling kind of borrowed
almost never new
oh, but baby, how—
baby, how about—
you look like you did
Irish eyes, just like a kid
oh, but I feel the years
tell me, do you think of me, and
is your heart still here?
oh, baby, how about you?
do the miles of road ever get old?
and are you ever blue?
‘cause honey, to tell you the truth
I’ve been feeling kind of borrowed
almost never new
oh, but baby, how—
baby, how—
baby, how about you?
how about you?
five years ago, tonight
I was not a bride, but I loved you
I loved you
Buick Audra is a Grammy-award-winning musician and writer living in Nashville, TN. She is the guitarist and primary
songwriter and vocalist in the melodic heavy duo, Friendship Commanders. Her new album and corresponding memoir, Conversations with My Other Voice, were released on September 23rd, 2022....more
It is very difficult to pick a favorite from this album. The Friendship Commanders have a unique sound that compliments their talent and spectacular musicianship. This album is the best new thing I have heard in a very long time! It is catchy and in your face with a brutal dose of fast tempos, amazing drum rolls, and a voice that can cut through your soul. Willow Radriguez
so great. heavy but melodic. sparse yet so musically dense. drumming is just fantastic. the guitar parts are so heavy and beautiful at the same time. lyrics are fantastic. vocals and harmonies are just perfect. production is great. sounds huge and deep but crystal clear. so well done by everyone involved. jchristopherhughes
