On late night drives home from my job 96.5 actually plays unheard of music. That is how I found out about the next artist. I was driving home around midnight after my shift at Hell's Motel and I heard Christa Borden on the radio. Now this is one of the few times that song id has failed me horribly but I ended up finding her because I googled her lyrics.
Christa Borden is very unknown I don't know if that is due to a lack of self promotion or because people aren't interested but she is actually fairly talented. Her first album I Rhyme With Orange has just come out and besides decent song writing chops she has a great voice so check her out.
As usual I am leaving her myspace and official page.
EMPTY BOTTLES Lyrics
Wake up to a hangover, an empty shell of me
Doubles are never a good idea after one or two or three a.m.
I called you when I sobered up but I should have known
You’d have better things to do with your time than listen to me
Crying and begging you to come home
It’s a little too late
The buzz is gone
We drank it down fast it didn’t last that long
We got high for a while
On more than we could swallow
And now your love is just an empty bottle, an empty bottle
Dried my tears and made some coffee
Washed these shadows off my face
Still can’t sleep in this big bed we used to share
I think its time for me to move out of this place
Still can’t believe its over and there is nothing I can do
But I know that you’re in love with her
And somewhere in my broken heart I’m happy for you
It’s a little too late
The buzz is gone
We drank it down fast it didn’t last that long
We got high for a while
On more than we could swallow
And now your love is just an empty bottle, an empty bottle
I’m so parched my lips are dry
Your desert love wasteland of lies
You quenched your thirst on my demise
I swallowed every tear I cried
It’s a little too late
The buzz is gone
We drank it down fast it didn’t last that long
We got high for a while
On more than we could swallow
And now your love is just an empty bottle, an empty bottle

I heard this song on the radio yesterday for the first time. I think she's an alcoholic, but if thats what it takes to write a great song then bottoms up. It does remind me of another song, kinda like Smile Empty Soul - bottom of a bottle. I mean not really just emty bottles all look the same.
A lot of great musicians were under the influence of alcohol and drugs when they wrote their music.
