About Jillian Goldin and Andrew Aversa :
Jill Goldin
Vocalist and New Age/World music songwriter Jillian Goldin unites vibrant, soulful melodies with the sounds of cultures across the world. Inspired by such artists as Enya and Loreena McKennitt, she strives to evoke an emotional response through her music while exploring new methods of lyrical communication.
Coming from an extensive background in operatic performance, Jillian is well equipped for the stage while maintaining a keen interest in original composition. Her voice can be heard on the soundtrack to the critically acclaimed video game Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword in both solo and ensemble context, and she has engaged in a number of contemporary musical activities from film & TV recordings to her own arrangements of popular video game themes.
Origins, Jillian's debut solo album, was released on Earth Day 2008 in conjunction with a fundraiser for The Nature Conservancy's Plant a Billion Trees campaign. Assistant-produced by electronica artist and frequent collaborator Andrew Aversa (a.k.a. 'zircon'), the CD features soaring vocal tracks mixed with a dash of ethnic/electronic flavor. One of her compositions, 'Hajime', has already garnered attention as the March $5,000 Grand Prize Winner at OurStage.com, and winner of the Mystic Soundscapes Best of 2007 Award. Origins is now available through www.jilliangoldin.com, as well as CD Baby, iTunes, and other major distributors.

Red July - Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the deep
The birds fast asleep
Black skies
Seem to weep
(Bridge)
Moonlight,
Do we dare?
Day, night
They don't care
(Chorus)
But I'm still here
Don't pass me by
Yes I'm still here,
My red July
(Verse 2)
Is it fate
Our footfalls await?
Blind fear
Turns too great
(Bridge)
(Chorus x2)
