Sirsy's Like a Drum EP was written when lead singer/drummer Mel was diagnosed with cancer for a second time. This record was influenced by that tumultuous time: the heartache, the fear, the love letters from fans, the fight to stay positive, the fight for each other, and the giant celebration once Mel was pronounced cancer free! Produced by grammy-winner Paul Q Kolderie, this record was well received by fans and critics alike. We suggest pairing it with your favorite craft or root beer and dancing around your living room while singing at the top of your lungs!

Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum
Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum
Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum
Oh Oh
I will beat this like a drum

Hard times are weighing on my mind
Heavy is the heart that doesn’t pick the fight
What don’t kill us makes us stronger, right?
Well, we ain’t dead yet tonight

(Ooh, Ooh)

Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum
Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum

Hard times will bring a body down
Heavy is the heart that’s given no way out
All that we’ve got baby is right now
So come on and sing it loud

(Ooh, Ooh)

Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum
Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum
Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum
Oh Oh
‘Cause I’m free when the beat goes on

(Ooh, Ooh)

Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum
Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum
Oh Oh
Beat my troubles like a drum
Oh Oh
Let my beat go on and on

STAND

Don’t you let ’em get you down
Even when they push you ’round
‘Cause this world isn’t cautious with our hearts

Oh darlin’ I wish you could see
How beautiful you are to me
‘Cause you’re really perfect as you are

I know you’re stronger than you think you are
I know you’re stronger than you think you are
I know you’re stronger than you think you are right now

So, I will stand
I will stand
Up for you
‘Til you can stand up too

Darlin’ I have seen you shine
Even in the darkest times
Even when this world just breaks your heart

When it comes down to run or fight
I know that you’ll do what’s right
‘Cause I have seen just who you really are

And I know you’re stronger than you think you are
I know you’re stronger than you think you are
I know you’re stronger than you think you are right now

So, I will stand
I will stand
Up for you
‘Til you can stand up too

I will stand
I will stand
Up for you
‘Til you can stand up too

Oh, Oh
Together we won’t fall
No we won’t fall

DEATH OF ME

You say I’m embers
But I say I’m sparks
Devil he broke you
Oh, and stole your heart

So you took my money
To pay for your sins
You left me broke as hell
But not broken

I’ve got a fire
Down in my bones
And nothing’s gonna put it out no more

(Ooh, Ooh)
Ain’t gonna be
The death of me
(Ooh, Ooh)
Ain’t gonna be
The death of me

So, I fell for embers
And I fell for sparks
Devil he tricked me
Oh, and burned my heart

But my momma taught me
So long ago
I’m stronger than any pain
That I will know

‘Cause I’ve got a fire
Down in my bones
And nothing’s gonna put it out no more

(Ooh, Ooh)
Ain’t gonna be
The death of me
(Ooh, Ooh)
Ain’t gonna be
The death of me

SWEET DREAMS

(Ooh, Ooh)
Sweet Dreams are calling
Sweet Dreams, my love
Sweet Dreams are calling
Keeping me up

Baby, you and me, we’ve got these restless hearts
that beat, beat, beat so free
Baby, you and me, we’ve got these restless hearts
that beat beat beat for keeps
They say a rolling stone
Can’t get no satisfaction
But I am always home, when I’m by your side

(Ooh, Ooh)
Sweet Dreams are calling
Sweet Dreams, my love
Sweet Dreams are calling
Keeping me up

Baby, you and me, we live through all these songs
That keep, keep, keep us free
Baby, you and me, we love through all these songs
So sweet, sweet, sweet-ly
They say a rolling stone
Can’t get no satisfaction
But I am always home, when I’m by your side

(Ooh-Ooh) Sweet wanderlust
(Ooh-Ooh) And we ramble on
(Ooh-Ooh) And never know
What’s coming ’round, coming ’round, coming ’round, oh

Baby, you and me, still got these restless hearts
That beat, beat, beat so free
Baby, you and me, still got these restless hearts
That beat, beat, beat for keeps
They say a rolling stone
Can’t get no satisfaction
But I am always home, when I’m by your side
I am always home, when I’m by your side
Oh, baby I am home, when I’m by your side

SATELLITE

Oh, my love
They’ll take so much
Will this girl be all gone

Oh, my love
I’ll need so much
Will your girl be all gone

So
When it all was on the line
Oh
You said “Put your hand in mine”
Oh
“And let me be your satellite, my love”

You say “Love,
You mean so much
This girl won’t be all gone”

You say “Love,
Nothing means much
If my girl is all gone”

So
When it all was on the line
Oh
You said “Put your hand in mine”
Oh
“And let me be your satellite, my love”

And if we are stardust
I’ll make a wish upon us
That these dark days will fade like
Stars in the sun

So
When it all was on the line
Oh
You said “Put your hand in mine”
Oh
“And let me be your satellite, my love”

So
When it all was on the line
Oh
You said “Put your hand in mine”
Oh
“And let me be your satellite, my love”
