  • Book/Magazine + Digital Album

    In her debut collection, Buick Audra revisits events that have shaped her relationship with her own voice, literal and figurative. The essays are companion pieces to the compositions on her third album, Conversations with My Other Voice. Between the music and the prose, the audience is given an intimate look into the life of a woman in music. The book comes with a download of the album as well as a custom bookmark. 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."

    Rodney Crowell, Musician & Author

    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.

lyrics

I don’t believe it
it’s the proverbial nonsense
you want to tell me who you think I am

why can’t you see it?
I’m not so callous and caustic
not that it’s on me to help you understand
(you had the option to sit it out)

see, it took so long to get up here
then you break us down
then you break us down
when you know it took so long to get up here
why’d you break us down?
why’d you break us down?
can you hear me from down here?

long live the critics
long live the fearful and faithful
kill all the artists brave enough to stand

and while you’re at it
make sure you tear down the women
make sure she knows she’s just a poseur and a tramp
(you had the option to shut your mouth)

see, it took so long to get up here
then you break us down
then you break us down
when you know it took so long to get up here
why’d you break us down?
so you break us down?
can you hear me from down here?

in a whisper, my words make sense
in a whisper, it’s not so tense

so you break me down?
so you break me down?
when you know it took so long to get up here
why’d you break me down?
see, you break me down
can you hear me from down here?
