Lilian Bui Releases “They Don’t Make ‘Em Like You No More”

Singer/song writer Lilian Bui is starting to make a name for herself and deservedly so. She has a refreshingly pure voice and a soothing style reminiscent of Priscilla Ahn mixed with Norah Jones. The audio quality isn’t the greatest but her talent is undeniable. It’s all a bit raw, but shows a ton of potential. She’s putting together a demo album so be on the lookout for that but in the mean time she’ll release one original song a week on youtube. This is actually the second joint, so if you missed the first, watch it here.

As promised, here is my original song this week! This was influenced by past relationships (the good parts, at least). A song to be dedicated to your special, irreplaceable, incredible someone to tell them how unique they are.

Lyrics after the jump!

Lyrics:

You led me to the sea with my eyes closed
So I could feel the sand between my toes
You knew I had a penchant for the moon
So you nicknamed me your darling “Claire de Lune”

Bridge:
You’ve always been keen about the sentimental things
If romance was a place, honey, then you would be king

Chorus:
They don’t make em like you no more
They don’t make em like you
You can see where the stitches tear
And the colors have lost their hue
They don’t make em like you no more
What? You know it’s true
You can broaden your search from California to Timbuktu
I hope I haven’t spoken out of line
But to me, my dear, you are a major find

You took me to the roof on Christmas Eve
And you waited with me even though you had to leave
You indulge my appetite for poetry
You know almost secret side to me

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

You can broaden your search from Old Cape Cod up to Peru
I hope I haven’t spoken out of line
But to me, my dear, you are a major find.

Ba da ba da ba….

(Chorus)

You can broaden your search to all the islands in the ocean blue
I hope I haven’t spoken out of line
But to me, my dear, you are a major find
