Burch's voice takes cues from old timers like Dusty Springfield and Patsy Cline to create throaty mountains and valleys of sound. It's retro country and soul in the best way. Growing up in Los Angeles with a writer/producer father and a casting director mother, Burch's childhood was filled with old Hollywood musicals and the sounds of Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. After finding her voice in adolescence, Burch packed up for the University of North Carolina in Asheville to study Jazz Vocal Performance.
Wild
Molly Burch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There she goes
There goes my baby, there she goes
Watch her dance
Make romance
There goes my baby, there she goes
She's so wild (wild)
She's so wild (wild)
She's so wild (wild)
Wishful thinking's got me blinded
Got me losing all control
It's in my nature to be guarded
I wish I was a wilder soul
I wish I was a wilder soul
There she goes
There she goes
There goes my baby, there she goes
Watch her dance
Make romance
There goes my baby, there she goes
She's so wild (wild)
She's so wild (wild)
She's so wild (wild)
She's so wild (wild)
Wishful thinking's got me blinded
Got me losing all control
It's in my nature to be guarded
I wish I was a wilder soul
I wish I was a wilder soul
I wish I was a wilder soul
I wish I was a wilder soul
I wish I was a wilder soul
I wish I was a wilder soul

Ah yes, the brain damaged style of singing. Always a great option when looking for your own personal style.
