Not to be confused with British vocalist Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie & the Banshees fame, Susie Suh is an American singer/songwriter — specifically, a Korean-American singer/songwriter — from Los Angeles. Suh, who was 25 in 2005, is young enough to be the daughter of Siouxsie Sioux (who was born Susan Dallion on May 27, 1958, and adopted Siouxsie Sioux as a stage name when she founded Siouxsie & the Banshees in 1976 — several years before Susie Suh was even born). Besides, Suh sounds nothing like Sioux stylistically; while Siouxsie & the Banshees were pioneers of punk, new wave, and goth rock, Suh favors an adult alternative/folk-rock approach along the lines of Fiona Apple, Sarah McLachlan, and former 'Til Tuesday singer turned solo star Aimee Mann (three of the singer/songwriters she has often been compared to). Suh (who plays guitar and piano and has cited Joni Mitchell and Beth Gibbons as some of her major influences) writes highly introspective and personal lyrics, many of them of them on the melancholy side; the southern Californian has a world-weary outlook and deals with her share of darker emotions, which is definitely something she has in common with Apple.

Although Suh has lived in the United States her entire life, both of her parents are immigrants who moved to southern California from Korea in the '60s. Suh's involvement with music began when she was only eight and joined a Korean children's choir, whose repertoire ranged from traditional Korean songs to American pop. At 13, Suh left Los Angeles for New Hampshire, where she attended a boarding school and did her share of songwriting during her adolescent years; Suh was around 17 when she recorded a six-song EP, pressed 1,000 copies onto CDs, and managed to sell about 700 of them to her schoolmates. After reaching adulthood, Suh attended Brown University in Rhode Island (where she obtained a degree in English), but spent as much time as she could visiting New York City and performing in Lower Manhattan clubs. A career in music is not something that Suh's ambitious parents encouraged — in fact, they tried to talk her out of it and encouraged her to go into a more stable, less volatile line of work. Music, they asserted, should be nothing more than a hobby for Suh. But her parents' lack of support didn't discourage the L.A. native; if anything, it inspired her to persevere and work even harder at having a career in music. "Your Battlefield," one of Suh's songs, was inspired by her career-related disagreements with her parents.

In 2003, Suh signed with Epic/Sony; she ended up working with Glen Ballard, a well-known producer/songwriter/arranger whose lost list of credIt's ranges from No Doubt to Paula Abdul to Alanis Morissette — it was Ballard who produced Morissette's 1995 blockbuster, Jagged Little Pill. At first, Ballard only agreed to produce a few songs for Suh, but he was so impressed with her work that he ended up producing her entire debut album (a self-titled CD that Epic released in April 2005).

Won't you come again

What do I say
On this january day
When all my thoughts have gone astray
But I'm thinking 'bout you

And what do I do
When I'm black and I'm blue
And I'm still loving you
But I know it was meant to end

Oh, I'm missing you
Or maybe I'm just missing who I was
When I was with you

Oh love, oh love
Oh won't you come again
Take me in your arms and hold me
Make me feel new again

And how do I convey
All the words that I could never say
To you when you were around

Oh, I'm missing you
Or maybe I'm just missing how I felt
When I was with you

Oh love, oh love
Oh won't you come again
Take me in your arms and dance with me
Make me feel alive again

Oh love, oh love
Won't you come again
Take me in your arms and hold me
Make we want to laugh and sing
Make me want to love again

Your Battlefield

Someday I will ask you if I was a disapointment
I will ask you if you put your hard earned money into a bad investment
You will tell me there are no garauntees but you
Got solutions for security
And I will ask you, I would ask you
How about my dreams

But you say life is a battlefield and you have
Given me the arms
You say I have to fight
I have to keep moving on

Someday I will ask myself if I was disillusioned
I will ask myself, if I have proven
That I made it on my own terms
Yeah I may have suffered some burns but I am
Living my dreams and am who I wanna be

But you say life is a battlefield and you have
Given me the arms
You say I have to fight
I have to keep moving on

On this path that youve tread
On this map, that is yours
Well I have to say, have to say, have to say
That I cant fight your war, I cant fight your war

But you say life is a battlefield and you have
Given me the arms
You say I have to fight
I have to keep moving on

Hey yeah oh oh oh
This is your battlefield
This is my life that youre asking for
This is my life that you wanted much
More then yours

But you say life is a battlefield and you have
Given me the arms
You say I have to fight
I have to keep moving on

Shell

The time is comin
It's coming soon
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my shoes
I was lost, but now I'm found
And all my troubles are turning around
Oh I feel I've been so close to you
Heavens holding my hand
And I'm ready to break on through
So I'm tearing down the walls inside
Letting go of all my pride
Make it home before the lie
I dont need to hide inside this shell
This shell
No more
I dont know my right from left
And I've been going around this bend
So many miles I have roamed
Lately I feel like I'm coming home
Oh I'm getting so close to you
Heavens lighting a candle and I'm ready
To break on through
So I'm tearing down the walls inside letting go
Of all my pride
Make it home before the lie
I dont need to hide inside this shell
This shell no more
No more
Oh no, no, no, no more, no more
So I'm tearing down the walls inside letting go
Of all my pride
Make it home before the lie
I dont need to hide inside this shell
This shell no more
No more
This shell, this shell, this shell

Harmony

I don’t know your name
But it seems that we’re all the same
Cause when I sing to you
You are singing back to me
And we sing in harmony
Harmony, we sing in melody
Harmony, harmony
You and I we sing in rhapsody

In this moment
I feel so much lighter
In this moment
I can breathe
Cause what I give to you
Comes right back to me
And we sing in harmony
Harmony, we sing in melody
Harmony, harmony
You and I we sing in rhapsody
I will tell you all of my secrets
I will tell you all of my chores
All my answers, all my answers
Lie in this song that I sing to you
And we sing in harmony
Harmony, we sing in melody
Harmony, harmony
You and I we sing in rhapsody
All the night, all the night
We sing in rhapsody

Seasons Change

Seasons change
They change when you dont seemt o notice
All of a sudden, wind grows cold
And then the snowflakes start to fall
It's kinda like when fell in love with you
I, I didnt even notice when you didnt love me anymore
Theres a blue, theres a blue sky on my left and a pink sky on my right
And I'm driving down the 92 where the bridge looks like it touches the sky
And imt hinking to ymself
Where did all the time go
And why cant I remember
What it was like when I was young
Seasons change
And you grow a little older
Nothing stays the same
The past becomes the future
Seasons change
And you grow a little older
Noone stays the same
And my heart grows a little colder
Im standing in a parking lot
Of some suburban shopping mall
And I'm dressed in my work uniform making friends with all
The vacant cars
And I'm thinking to myself
I gotta make a big decision today and I hope I choose a better tomorrow
Rather then a better yesterday
Seasons change
And you grow a little older
Nothing stays the same
The past becomes the future
Seasons change
And you grow a little older
Noone stays the same
And my heart grows a little warmer
My heart turns a little warmer
Everything turns it turns it turns it turns
Seasons change
And you grow a little wiser
Nothing stays the same
The past becomes the future
Seasons change
Only the cherry blossoms they bloom again (x2)
They will bloom, they will bloom

Light on my Shoulder

It's easier to fall and harder to stand
It's easier to cry and harder to laugh,
And I don’t know how, I don’t know why
But you’re the light on my shoulder
When I'm tired
It's easier to run and harder to be still
It's easier to think and harder to feel,
And I don’t know how, I don’t know why
But you’re the light on my shoulder
When I'm tired
It's easier to hide and harder to trust
It's easier to hate and harder to love
And I don’t know how, I don’t know anything
But you’re the temper in my voice
When I sing

Lucille

Lucille you know how I feel
Put me behind that wheel(x2)
Cause every waking days jsut the same damn thing
I get up and go to work and then I sleep again
It's just my days and oh they never change
I was I could just run away
Lucille you know how I feel
Put me behind that wheel (x2)
Even if I have to drive all night I dont care
I just might make my way to new orleans and maybe
I will meet a local boy and we can drown out all thnoise
And make a toast to this crazy scene
Lucille you know how I feel
Put me behind that wheel
(just gimme the keys)
Lucille you know how I feel just put me behind that wheel
(i just gotta get outta here gimme the keys)
Cause every waking days jsut the same damnt hing
I get up and go to work and then I sleep again
It's just my days and oh they never change
I was I could just run away
Lucille you know how I feel
Put me behind that wheel (x2)
I dont care about it
I dont wanna hear no more
I got no friends here I just
Gotta get outta here
I know
I just feel it I dont belong here no more
Just gotta get away
(oh oh oh oh)
Lucille you know how I feel
Put me behind that wheel

Petrified to be God-Like

I fight my demons everyday
They come and go they up and flow
Like the ocean
You think you know me and you know me
But you dont know
How scared I am
So I like to make excuses, and I like to blame everyone else
And I like to point my finger at you
Rather then change myself
It's just eachday goes by so fast
I cant seem to grasp them
And I tend to run away from my reflection
You see I am, so petrified, to be god-like
So I like to make excuses
And I like to blame everyone else
And I like to point my finger at you, rather then change myself
Ha-ah, ha-ah...
So I like to make excuses
And I like to blame everyone else
And I like to point my finger at you
Rather then change myself
So I like to make excuses
And I like to blame everyone else
And I like to point my finger at you
Rather then change myself

Recognition

We are just shadows
Crawling through this micro alley
But I am hungry for your love
And I am starving for a better time
But that’s all we got here
That’s all we know
That’s all we’ve become
Our recognition
Yeah well we be walking in
Some kind of direction
In a line with our right foot first
Yes we’re waiting for some material heaven
That will, that will quench our thirst
But that’s all we got here
That’s all we know
That’s all we’ve become
Our recognition
And I don’t know what to do
About holding my head high
I am struggling to breathe through all these
In between times
And I am wondering why
I am wondering why
And I was born into this place
That filters who we are
By what we have done
Yes I know I am a product of this institution
That’s all I got yeah
That’s all I know
That’s all i’ve become
My recognition oh
And I don’t know what to do
About holding my head high
I am struggling to breathe through all these
In between times
And I am wondering why
I am wondering why

All I Want

Too many times, I have wondered
What all trying is for
You come around, I feel so down, I'm gonna drown
Because I know that you've fallen short

But do you know, It doesn't change
The way I feel about you at the end of the day
Because I know
That all I want is what you got
All I want is what you got

And too many times, I have wanted
To turn around and walk away
Knowing deep inside
You can't provide what I need from you anyway

But do you know, It doesn't change
The way I feel about you at the end of the day
Because I know
That all I want is what you got
All I want is what you got

I tell you that I wanna go, but I wanna stay
I tell you that I wanna go, but I wanna stay
I tell you that I wanna go, but I wanna stay
I wanna stay, I wanna stay, I wanna stay
But I know I'm gonna lose myself this way
I wanna stay, I wanna stay, I wanna stay
But I know I'm gonna lose myself this way

But do you know, It doesn't change
The way I feel about you at the end of the day
'Cause I know
That all I want is what you got
All I want is what you got
But this moment is all I've got
It's all I've got

Looking at the sea again
Tides that rise and fall and then rise again
My love floats like a feather in the wind
Catch me if you can
Catch me

I don't even know what just I’d do
If you found your way back through
Clear all the cob webs that we weaved
Making room for you and me

There's a road to my heart
Follow signs through the ride
When you see all the lights glowing bright,
You know you found me

Looking at the city escape
Tiny little bubbles sparkling in the night
I don't think it’s ever too late
To cut the ties that bond us to our lies.

I don't even know what just I’d say
If you found your way back
Clear all the cob webs that we made
Wishing for you to stay

There's a road to my heart
Following signs through the ride
When you see all the lights glowing bright,
You know you found me

Looking at the sea again
Tides that rise and fall and then rise again
My love floats like a feather in the wind
Catch me if you can
Catch me

( The Bakman Tapes EP )

Well he told me didn't know me that well
If only he knew he was my lion and I was his gazelle
The circumstances drew the line
I was never his and he was never mine

Well it's a roller-coaster ride
It's a fortune teller's life
It's a dream that I had in black and white
Make a wish on a star tonight

I shoot him once
I shoot him twice
I couldn't help it the bullets flew out of my mouth
And he got angry and all I cared about was being right
Oh, I apologize

Cause it's a roller-coaster ride
It's a fortune teller's life
It's a dream that I had in black and white
Hush my darling sweet dreams tonight

People come and people go
I'll miss you, I want you to know
But, oh, how pride it gets in the way
Though we never speak in my heart you will remain

Cause all I want is to know for sure
That when I day I lived the best that I could
We're all falling down the rabbit hole
So hold my hand and never let it go

And the pages they are always turning
As we watch the towers burning
Well it's fast times, it's fucked-up times
It's beautiful times, and it's good, good times
Oh, good times
Good, good times
