This song is nostalgic for me. I was in the jungle exactly one year ago... every night I would sit on the deck of the cabin and stare into the milky way.. Clear Sky; Bright Stars..
Lyrics:
No one told me to watch my back
I was thinking 'bout what I lack
What's a boy supposed to do
Life has got me blue
No one told me to watch my back
Now it seems I've gone off the track
It wasn't that hard to do
It caught me by…
Lyrics:
I'm not sleeping
I'm staring at the ceiling
My mind's a thousand miles away
I'm finding faces in the shapes
of plaster that was scraped on the ceiling
Killing time is not so bad
but when you're trapped inside your head…
damn! wow, I either missed this or I am hearing it with new ears. Really class. Going to give this playlist a better listen tomorrow. 'Listened to 1432 times' BAM!
Oh man, love this. Especially the second part (~1:45 - 3:30) which has great "movement". I'm sure there is a musicy word for it but I don't know it. I do know this is brilliant though. Encore!
"Choices" by Nikki Giovanni
If I can't do
what I want to do
then my job is to not
do what I don't want
to do
It's not the same thing
but it's the best I can
do
If I can't have
what I want... then
my job is to want
what I've got…
I recorded four minutes of bird life in a bamboo patch during my last day in the Amazon.
I arranged the string section with single note samples of cellos performed by the Philharmonic Orchestra.
A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)
After an adventure in re-recording the entire song down a third, we came back to the original, tightened and tuned.
Always the self flagellating perfectionist, it still needs a bit more love. Always the pragmatist, it is probably done for now.
Yeah I wrote this with a little help form Dmoneye. Here are the lyrics:
2008 presidential (s)election
It’s the 2008 presidential selection, not election
planned to perfection by media's erection
for soundbyte speeches by political leeches
to…
This is the basic theme for "weekend in new orleans", a documentary we're currently writing the soundtrack for (it'll be adapted with variations throughout the film). It's very quiet. (Video trailer coming shortly.)
i made this song up real fast. and i obviously threw it into the computer real fast. i have trouble with levels. but then again, that's what the songs about. let's hear it for Temper Tantrums!
good lord. i was addicted to crosswords, and therefore became uncontrollably competitive and paranoid.
[by the way, if anyone could help me master my songs, please give a shout! i can't seem to get them any louder...]

this song was created after hearing some downtempo, that was so minimalistic that we said, 'that'd be a great track, with some synth, vocals, bass, and beat variation' and so "syncronicity was born"

9. One big Eurocity
The title is nicked from a line in a Tuxedomoon-song. I wanted to have lyrics for this one about travelling and coming across similarities in different cities in Europe. But, alas, no time left. It's an instrumental now.
