Album: The End of Happy Endings
Year: 2010 (RPM)
Written by: Damian Lethbridge
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?
great guitar work..reminds me of Lindsay Buckingham meets John Martyn meets Nick Drake...also very smooth vocals...also like how the song morphs into something totally different as it progresses...
A song I've had stored in my head for quite awhile, though never committed to tape (erm... binary code) - probably because I thought it was a bit simple and even trite. Having to come up with an album's worth of material in a month cured me of…
Never, never again. How many times have we all uttered that statement the "morning after?" This song explores the regrets from the night before and blames it all on "devil drink cider called Johnny Jump Up".
Contrary to public opinion, the term "The Holy Ground" doesn't refer to the Emerald Isle. Nope. It's the name of a whore house that Irish sailors would visit. The Irish have quite a sense of humor...!
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
no I won't eat of the body, no I won't drink of the blood
no I won't gather at the river, no I won't carry your burden
no I won't bath in the glory, no I won't bath in the glory
no I won't beg for forgiveness
yes you will
no I won't handle a serpent…
KY69. Based on a Californian radio station that plays awesome music all around the clock. The characters are wildly in love but won't admit it. The car is outrageously sporty.
Apart from everything mentioned in the lyrics, it's a true story…
I almost thought I knew it, so very close to space and time
it almost makes me lose my mind
2 seconds closer to the, the moment fleeting thoughts are mine
so far away, so close
grasping, the memory, the secret, divine
I never knew that someday…
all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound
if I, can't make it
stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
I will succumb…
This song was written after moving into a new apartment. One of the movers put a coin in the door hinge to keep the door open so that he wouldn't have to bother me for keys. I thought it was so cool and smart and sleek and simple. I wanted him…
i started writing this song 5 years ago and finally recorded it this year. sad to say, but my $$ situation isn't that much different. this is a whiny song from a liberal-arts grad who is a brat and can't really make ends meet in NYC.
i definitely…
a song from a previous band (kill.pop.), i took the metal out of it and made it more dreamy. this is actually the 3rd version of this song that i've played.
here we are, for the very first time
is it safe to touch you
or am I way out of line
now it's over, and our embrace was far too sweet
is it safe to fall in love or is this a game that can never be beat
here we are in my bedroom all alone…
this is 4 bass tracks and drums
the 3rd song i wrote about my wife. maybe someday the second song will show up somewhere.
like a hunter hunts its prey
eyeing me, hungrily
can't keep her paws to herself
and i'm not about to fight it
it…
i love this song too....it's got this cool reggae style of singing over awesome 90's grungy music in the verse and then it goes into this 80's synth chorus...deadly
the first new song written for the RPM challenge, i love the guitar part, but the words were last minute. some people get tired of my anti-religion diatribe. oh well
Judge me, I want everyone all up in here
cast your stones for slandering…
