Biography:
Born Margaret Wander, Dessa’s first release with Doomtree, False Hopes, introduced a unique sensibility to underground hip-hop: literary, bitter-sweet, and wry. She alternated between a clever, droll persona as an emcee and her earnest, unaffected delivery as a singer with a low, clear alto voice. Her a cappella arrangements delicate and expressive, full of sad, old world harmonies. False Hopes attracted a varied set of ferociously dedicated fans in the Midwest and beyond.

'Anabel' Live at the Cedar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-ScqXkw9Tw
G
Anabel, pick up the phone
Am
I'm calling from the kitchen
G Em
We just never seem to listen when we're sharing the same room
G Am
I'm not sure anymore what might get your attention
G Em
Everyday you see me less than you did just the day before
G Am
Out there in the garden, motionless for hours
G Em
It's just like there's a statue dressed in Anabel's old clothes
G Am
And part of me is afraid to wake you from the dreams you have
G Em
And scared the scattered pieces won't come back together, hold on
G Bm G Bm
Anabel, come back to me
G Bm G Bm
I'm calling you from home
G A Bm A
Anabel, come back to me
G Bm Em
I'm living here alone
G
Another quiet evening
Am
That book that you've been reading's open
G Em
But I don't believe I've seen you turn a single page
G
Even here right beside you
Am
I barely recognize you
G Em
You're like a photograph I'm watching fade away
G
I wanna shake you
Am
I'd prefer that you were angry with me
G Em
You're like a bird now looking lost without a cage
G
And I don't know what to call it
Am G Em
I'm not sure who could solve this problem of a disappearing girl
Oh Ana, stay
G Bm G Bm
Anabel, come back to me
G Bm G Bm
I'm calling you from home
G A Bm A
Anabel, come back to me
G Bm Em
I'm living here alone
G
You're in the bathroom with the flashlight
Am
You're trying to weight your shadow
G
You say it's gotten heavy
Em
Hard to drag across the floor
G
Same scene we had last night
Am
And I still don't know what happens to you
G
I just stand here useless
Em
Sometimes listen through the door
G Am
The ringing in your ears has gotten worse
It's hard to take
G Em
You say it sounds like heavy traffic as we're climbing into bed
G
And I believe I almost hear it
Am
I know better than to touch you lately
G Em
Praying I don't wake up to the car crash in your head
G Bm G Bm
Anabel, come back to me
G Bm G Bm
I'm calling you from home
G A Bm A
Anabel, come back to me
G Bm Em
I'm living here alone
G Bm G Bm
Anabel, come back to me
G Bm G Bm
I'm trying to get through
G A Bm A
Anabel, come back to me
G Bm Em
Or take me there with you
