This approach using live physical instruments led to the 2005 follow-up, The Golden Morning Breaks. This album was something of a departure from the sampled setting of her debut and consisted almost entirely of natural, non-synthetic sounds, an approach Schott has stated in interviews that she prefers. On January 25, 2006 she released her contribution to the Staalplaat label's series of live performances, called Mort Aux Vaches (meaning 'Death to Cows'). Each piece focuses on a different instrument: zither, ukulele, cello, melodica, etc.
Colleen Et Les Boites A Musique hit the shops on October 2nd 2006, and is comprised of 14 short pieces created using only music boxes, originally commissioned by France Culture's Atelier De Création Radiophonique. In May 2007 dancer and choreographer Perrine Valli performed Série, a production with an original score composed by Schott - her first foray into dance.
Les Ondes Silencieuses ('The Still Waters'), Colleen's third full-length album, was released on May 21, 2007. A slight evolution in sound was again heard on the album, as Schott adopted a more free-form approach in place of the use of loops that were so apparent in much of her prior output.

Your Heart on Your Sleeve
Colleen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eric Dodd Allie Colleen
Ever since the wind, came rolling in, from the East
To a one horse town, spurs on the ground, silver screen
From that first tip of a hat, girls like me got it bad
That grit drives you wild, he'll rope you with his smile
not all dreams come true
Yeah, He'll spin you around that sawdust floor
Yeah, He'll hold your hand out those double doors
He smells sweet like wintergreen with lips that taste like whiskey
He'll leave his leavin' boots on your front porch
Don't Give Your Heart To A Cowboy
I must've fell asleep, cause I'd never seen the bitter end
That sun set slow, those credits roll without warning
Guess I always thought that, he'd be coming back
He wouldn't leave her all alone, boy was I wrong
Yeah, He'll spin you around that sawdust floor
Yeah, He'll hold your hand out those double doors
He smells sweet like wintergreen with lips that taste like whiskey
He'll leave his leavin' boots on your front porch
Don't Give Your Heart to a Cowboy
I might have bought a ticket once or twice
But this shit is real life
Yeah, he spun me around that sawdust floor
Yeah, He held my hand out those double doors
He smelled sweet like wintergreen with lips that tasted like whiskey
He left his leavin' boots on my front porch
Don't Give Your don't give your don't give your Heart To A Cowboy
I wish I never gave this heart to a cowboy
The song "Don't Give Your Heart To A Cowboy" by Eric Dodd Allie Colleen speaks about the hazards of getting into a romantic relationship with a cowboy. The song tells the story of a girl who fell in love with a cowboy and got swept away by his charm. Initially, she thought that all her dreams had come true, but as time went by, she realized that not all dreams come true.
The girl is warning other women not to make the same mistake she made by giving their hearts to cowboys. Cowboys are known for their charm and good looks, but they are also known for being wild and leaving women heartbroken. The lyrics describe how the cowboy will hold your hand and spin you around the sawdust floor, but eventually, he will leave you with his leaving boots on your front porch.
The song is a reminder of the dangers of falling in love with the wrong person and making yourself vulnerable to heartbreak. It is also a tribute to the cowboys who, despite their flaws, still manage to capture our hearts with their rugged charm.

The end of a relationship can come out of nowhere, leaving you feeling helpless.

The cowboy allure is nothing but a romanticized ideal that doesn't hold true in reality.
He left his leavin' boots on my front porch
The proof of a cowboy's departure is often left behind in the form of his boots.
Don't Give Your don't give your don't give your Heart To A Cowboy
Do not invest your emotions in someone who's not looking for a long-term commitment.
I wish I never gave this heart to a cowboy
It's a painful lesson, but sometimes you wish you could've seen it coming.
