Mary Timony
Mary B. Timony (born October 17 1970) is an American independent singer-songwriter, guitarist, keyboardist, and violist. She has been a member of the bands Helium, Autoclave and Wild Flag, and currently fronts Ex Hex.
Timony's music is often heavy and dark, frequently using drones, beats, and modal melodies reminiscent of European Medieval music. She uses a number of alternate guitar tunings, most prominent of which is DADGAE, which allows for the execution of melodic passages.
Biography
Timony was born to James and Joan Timony of Washington, D.C., and raised in the neighborhoods of Glover Park and Wesley Heights. As a teenager, she attended the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Georgetown where she played guitar in the jazz band and also studied viola. Her guitar teacher Tom Newman recalled to interviewers: “She came to us a prodigy. You can’t teach what she has.”
In 1990–91 Timony played guitar and shared lead vocals in the Washington, D.C.-based band Autoclave. She later relocated to Boston, where she graduated from Boston University with a degree in English literature and formed the band Helium in the summer of 1992, recording two albums and three EPs with the group between 1994 and 1997. Helium disbanded in 1998, whereupon Timony embarked on her solo career, recording albums in 2000 and 2002 (Mountains and The Golden Dove).

Ex Hex
by: Mary TimonyIntro: Boy let's sing this sucka
Verse:
A joy to see you
I'm so glad I'm here
I come as a true friend
So feel comfortable
Relax your fears
You've got no one
And you know I've got nobody too
Never been so much in tune
With anyone in my life
We just took our time
To settle and unwind
We innocently vibed
Our hearts intensified
Until
Chorus:
Silently
Soulfully
You've become a part of me
Joyfully
Melodically
You and me in harmony
Verse:
Did not expect to get a lover
From a real friend
You are so warm to me
When I'm around
I melt like margarine
Oh girl you thrill me
Oh with your world
Please feel me
Oh lady you excited me
Oh won't you please invite me
We just took our time
To settle and unwind
We innocently vibed
Our hearts intensified
Until
Chorus
2x
Bridge:
You sang (a melody)
Natually I ring (a harmony)
Cause lady I feel the real thang
Can we be the main thang
Honey I wanna be your one man band
Your piano man
May I tinkle your grand
Ooohhh-ohhhh
Chorus
Chorus:
Silently
Soulfully
You creep into my life
And now
You become a part of me
