On her website, http://dianecluck.info, she has been releasing brand new songs directly to subscribers in her fan-funded "Song-of-the-Week" project, and she continues to introduce new songs through her live performances.
Stylistically, her voice has been compared to "the broken coo of an outraged owl or howling bark of a horny dove" (Voodoo-Eros). Her songs have been noted for their "irregular, or even cellular, logic" (Other Music). Her self-taught guitar style, influenced by years of playing the piano, has been described by The Village Voice as “brilliant” and “idiosyncratic.” Known for oblique vocal harmonies on recording, Diane’s live show focuses on singing as a healing, textural experience, leaving space in which listeners may wander, ponder or simply be.
Diane’s six home-recorded albums have received international distribution and acclaim; songs from “Oh Vanille / ova nil” (re-released on vinyl in 2010) appeared in the film “Margot at The Wedding” and the U.K. television series “Skins.” She has toured the U.S., U.K. and Europe, and often works with versatile cellist Isabel Castellvi, and cellist Isabel Castellvi. Past collaborators include CocoRosie, Jeffrey Lewis and André Herman Düne. A current generation of songwriters, including Sharon Van Etten, Laura Marling and Florence Welch (Florence + the Machine) have cited Diane’s work as influential

The lyrics to Diane Cluck's song Leave Me Alone seem abstract and cryptic at first, but they suggest a deep-seated feeling of being overwhelmed and wishing to be left alone. The lines "leave me alone" are repeated throughout the song, underscoring the singer's desperation for solitude. The nonsensical phrases such as "yawyawfunicaw" and "inmornachegobitknow" could represent the singer's attempt to block out the noise and chaos around her, creating a sense of calm and detachment.
The singer seems to desire to escape from the emotional pressures she is feeling, and the repetition of the phrase "leave me alone" suggests that she does not feel heard or understood. The lines "embodied what it seemed" and "embodied what it yayayay" could suggest that the singer is feeling trapped and overwhelmed by her own body and mind, perhaps struggling with anxiety or depression.
Overall, Leave Me Alone is a poignant, introspective song that speaks to the overwhelming desire for peace and solitude in the face of overwhelming emotional turbulence.
