The Detroit native first picked up the guitar at the age of 15 while living in Nashville, finding solace in music as she struggled to adapt to new surroundings. "Music has always been the one thing that I could count on to help me deal with change," Tamara explains. It was in Nashville where she studied guitar and started performing at open mics. Inspired by artists such as Ryan Adams, Eric Clapton, and Bonnie Raitt, Tamara began to develop her own melodies and lyrics fueled by an array of emotions related to heartache, love, life and detachment. �Many of my songs move away from current musical trends and highlight what's important - the marriage of music and lyrics," she explains.
In 2006, Tamara released her debut album "Through These Eyes", a collection of 11 songs inspired by events in her life and recorded with the help of producer and guitarist Marlon Young (Dave Mathews, Kid Rock) and Detroit Producer/Drummer extraordinaire Danny Cox. The album showcases her sweet yet raw and powerful vocal ability, and demonstrates significant growth and maturity for the young songwriter. Currently working on new songs for her sophomore album, Tamara is gearing up to record in the studio, and plans for an album release are set for as early as Spring 2008. In the meantime, keep your ears to the street for more exciting news, and your eyes open for a live show near you.
Tamara has performed with such artists as Graham Colton Band, Ben Folds, Josh Kelley, Michelle Branch, Ari Hest, Jump Little Children, Jody Raffoul and most recently Paul Thorn and Todd Snider.
Head Over Heels
Tamara Bedricky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never seen the sun shine, so bright
And when I'm with you, I'm with you, yea when I'm with you, I'm with you
But you don't know what you're doing to me
It's amazing
For the first time in a long time
I can feel life
And I'm head over heals
And I love how it feels
And it feels like my heads in a cloud
I just wanna scream out loud
When I'm with you, I'm with you, yea baby, when I'm with you, I'm with you
But you don't know what you're doing to me
It's so crazy
For the firs time in a long time
I can feel love
I can feel life
And I'm head over heals
For the first time in a long time
I can feel love
I can feel life
And I'm head over heals
And I love how it.
Could this be happening?
Is this just a dream that I'm in
Cuz we were meant to be
You could only see what I see
Cuz for the first time in a long time
I can feel love
I can feel life
And I'm head over heals
For the first time in a long time
I can feel life
I can feel love
And I'm head over heals
And I love how it feels yea
Cuz I'm head over heals
For you.
