You Know What Will Happen (official video)
You Know What Will Happen is the 2nd single from Jennifer’s upcoming album of love and experimental songs..
You Know What Will Happen (Lyrics) By Jennifer Elster
Mama said the moon don’t lie,
Eat your fire
Disappear in the sky.
Leave you on earth to think about you and I
I’m a love volcano
Razor sharp
Lazer eyes.
But if you touch this
You know what will happen.
You’ll burn your fingers
Is that good?
It’s fire.

C’mon Now Baby
by Jennifer Elster
My garden is of love’s wisdom
Let us not fear the walk
I am not just a woman,
but a Woman
with life’s deepest wisdom
from life’s shivering
realities
and I want you
through and through.
So c’mon now baby,
c’mon now baby
c’mon now baby
come on.

How We Do (Lyrics) By Jennifer Elster
I love you.
And I know, I know, I know, you love me too.
It's what we do. To get through.
And another, another, another, won't due.
Your struggles, your fears, your triumphs, your tears, your failed cover-ups, is how you do. To get through.
I watched you become you.
My tenderness, and even my chaos too. Is how I do.
God I love you.

PremiereD Part 1
We Don't Want That For Our Future, Do We?
By Jennifer Elster
“I am in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. Surviving a natural disaster is brutal. We don't want this for our future. Landmine life. House raging rapids. Everything gone outside. Filling up inside. Warning of tornado looming overhead. Slow drown, maybe. Or all at once. No we don't want this for our future, do we? We don't want that for our future, do we? Smattered existence. My chairs down the road. Cherished belongings destroyed. Take down the floors and the walls. Where'd everything go? Even worse, looking for someone you know. We don't want that for our future, do we? No, we don't want that for our future, do we?

THE VIRUS SONG lyrics (with piano)
Jennifer Elster
You’ got me cleaning , got me doing the floors.
You’ got me wiping down the handles of doors.
Look at you go, you’re relentless and free.
And you just might kill me.
I don’t see dying, don’t see dying this way.
Oh virus please, oh virus please go away.
Look at you go, you’re relentless and free.
And you just might be what kills me.
On my fifteenth birthday my dad brought a man
into our apartment, he was tall when he stand.
He said his son got killed the night before.
I told my father “don’t leave me.”
then he closed the bathroom door.
The guy went over to the window by me.
But I knew there was nothing there he wanted to see.
He pulled out our butcher knife and jumped on me.
He slit my throat and then my father crashed in.
Oh mad man, oh mad man, oh please go away.
I didn’t see dying, didn’t see dying that way.
I left the house and I ran to my neighbors door.
She looked at me with the blood dripping down and closed it in my face.
Oh virus, virus, virus please go away.
I love it here, have so much fun and want to stay.
Look at you go you’re relentless and free, and you just might be what kills me.

You told me to love you
because you are good.
Is that true?
Maybe I should.
You said “I’m gonna give you,
got good loving,
make me your .
But if you’re kind
I’ll take down my armor.
Is that good?
Yeah that’s good.
We’ll see what will happen.
If you love me,
you know what will happen,
I’ll love you
I’ll love you.

AMID THE BEAUTY (Live)
By Jennifer Elster
Amid the beauty I see lunatics everywhere
Amid the beauty I see lunatics everywhere
Amid the beauty I see resist injustice everywhere
At the end of the day, we need each other
Bring everyone together, together from everywhere
Together from everywhere
We all need to care
We all need to care
Amid the beauty I see
Amid the beauty I see
Amid the beauty I see, broken pieces everywhere
Amid the beauty I see, broken pieces everywhere
People confused, angry, and hateful not getting anywhere

THE VIRUS SONG lyrics (with keyboard)
Jennifer Elster
You got me cleaning and doing the floors.
You’ve got me wiping down the handles of doors. Look at you go, you’re relentless and free.
And you just might kill me.
I don’t see dying, don’t see dying this way. Oh virus, virus, virus please go away.
Am I what you are here for, a living bacteria, a speckle, a spore.
I don’t see dying, don’t see dying this way.
Oh please, oh please virus, oh please go away. Look at you go, you’re relentless and free.
You just might be the thing that kills me.
On my fifteenth birthday my dad brought a man. Into our place, and he was tall when he stand.
I said “don’t leave me, don’t leave with him.” He’s jacked up and has a weird look on his face. But he didn’t listen, didn’t listen to me.
The man was crying about his son who got killed the night before.
My dad said “I couldn’t imagine that happening to my daughter” then he closed the bathroom door.
He went from the kitchenette to the window by me.
But I knew there wasn’t anything he wanted to see.
He pulled out our butcher knife on me.
He held me down, butcher knife on my neck.
With his eyes spinning whirly around and he said to me; “I’m gonna kill, gonna kill you you’ll see.”
He didn’t say you’ll see, he just said “I’m going to kill you.”
My dad crashed in and knocked him down.
I ran out blood dripping down.
Knocked on my neighbors door and she saw me.
She closed the door and that’s that part of my history.
I don’t see dying, don’t see dying this way.
Oh virus please, oh please, oh please go away. Look at you go, you’re relentless and free.
And you just might kill me.
Oh virus, virus, virus, please go away.
I’ve been here long enough, I want to stay.
Oh please don’t look, please don’t look at me.
Cause you just might be the thing that kills me.
Oh virus ,virus, virus, please go away.
I just can’t see dying this way.
Look at you go, you’re relentless and free. And you just might be what kills me.
Oh virus ,virus, virus, please go away.
I just don’t see, I just don’t see dying this way. Look at you go, you’re relentless and free. And you just might be what kills me.
Oh virus ,virus, virus, please go away.
I don’t see dying, and I wanna stay.
It’s been so much fun, I can’t take it no more. But all I want is more and more.
Oh virus, virus, virus, please go away.
I don’t see dying, don’t see dying this way. Look at you go, you’re relentless and free. And you just might be what kills me.

AMID THE BEAUTY
"Here is a performance I did of a song I wrote 'Amid the Beauty'. Chris Colton played on my grandfathers piano. This has been an incredibly challenging year for us all and so much worse for so many.It has also been an incredible year with so many fantastic people and memories. 'Amid the beauty I see broken pieces everywhere. Amid the darkness I see beauty everywhere.'

CEMETERY: IS DEATH?
By Jennifer Elster
Jennifer Elster invites a group of talented New York City artists to her studio . Upon arrival, they become part of a tragicomedy, an experimental musical art piece that is just as much charged with anger as it is humor, but still the question remains: IS DEATH FINITE? This piece has been performed at The Development Underground, The New Museum, Central Booking Gallery, Cornelia Street Cafe, and Westpark.
IS DEATH FINITE? features Jennifer Elster, who wrote and directed the piece as well as provided harmony and vocals. Sugar Vendil (classical pianist, The Noveau Classical Project) and Trevor Gureckis (award winning composer and producer, Found Objects and Kanye West's Freestyle 4 ) play the keyboard, Crockett Doob (editor, Beasts of the Southern Wild) is on drums and Julia Wilkins (experimental dancer, ‘here there nowhere’ ) dances.
“I want you, through and through, to the inside of my soul. And as you know I see your soul and helped you to see your soul too. So c’mon now baby.”
