I'm solid gold
Something must be said
I must show the world I know it all
I know it all
So self absorbed
In over my head
Something must be said about it…
this song is great. i have a growing love of just listening to mangoz because of songs like this. you can't just hear a song this great anywhere can you?
well I thiiink it was one of the maaaany times in which we would go down to the pMundo beach by the river build a fire, burn one (a couple) down and jam out loud, where I came up with this beautiful chord progression. It was then about a week…
My opus. By far the longest song I've ever recorded. I tried to make it shorter, but it just didn't work. Sorry. :)
"The Water-Carver" uses a sample from Stereolab's "Changer." (Gane/Sadier)
I burned a copy of this album on CD and listen to it in the car constantly...can't get enough...i especially love the lyrics on this album..brilliant work...can't wait to hear more...
An older song that was originally inspired by Prefab Sprout's "Goodbye Lucille #1 (aka 'Johnny Johnny')" but has morphed into it's current state that's more influenced by Suicide and House of Love.
The verses in this song alternate being about my best friend when I was a little kid, and my best friend at the time I wrote it. I thought it was brave and artsy at the time. Then I grew up. :)
Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2
I'm gonna call you dirty from…
Just letting out my frustration at 'people' in general again.. nice to be able to vent it in a more pleasant way (for those interested in how I used to do it, please see http://alonetone.com/boynamedsu) :)
Lo and behold now holy guacamole if…
Hey Billy. I've been hearing lots of your RPM 2010 album on the Scopes RPM radio. It's awesome. I love the gentle, laid back, comforting sounds. Beautiful acoustics. Great work.
cheers,
