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…
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…
Lyrics:
Pass me a handle of that old time tennessee
It's been a while since I've seen the devil
It's a common mistake to think that I'm a sweet and gentle soul
but give me a chance to change your mind
Cause you have never seen me like…
This one's for that little black and tan, Nahannah.
Lyrics:
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
first thing this…
...real nice here; that end-of-phrase chord is wonderfully ambiguous -great emotional metaphors.
Thanks for listening to, and commenting on 'Sunrise...'
Happy New Year!!

Lyrics:
A lazy hound lying on the couch
sleeping the day away
The sunlight comes pushing through the curtains
warming the old dog's face
The savory smell from a wood burning stove
holds you while you awake
Brew some tea while others emerge…
WTF! we have known you too long and we only just now hear these amazing sounds of yours? we love it brando!!! great sounds friend... (where's the harp? call ryan anderson in tucson. he's a rad guy! great song, mate)
Originally a very different song, slowed to a dragging pace and laced with dense moans of twisted agony. There's a little bit of John MacDonald on lead guitar in the build too.
Lyrics:
Caged as a bird
free will is such a bitch
it's your responsibility to stay alive
pay the bills etc, etc
but how you enslave yourself
whether or not you enslave yourself
it's up to you

Dichotomy and harmony, hand in hand. Cool blue washes over the warmth of amber. The criss-crossing and melding of major and minor chords leave us anticipating where this will go next... all the way to the end. Well conceived, well played.

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

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.
