I was thinking about Haiti...
i don't know what to say
i don't know how to feel
when i'm way over here
and things are going well
my house is standing still
my friends are still alive
the smell of spring is in the air
and i just can't connect…
this was my last rpm song...i had a little mandolin riff and threw on the kazoo (which broke in the last verse), and it reminded me a happy bee buzzing around...and there you have it!
The vodka, ahhh. One of 3 that I recorded to a dimming flashlight during a power outage.
One take into the Micro BR hole with some harmony and noodle overdubs.
Vodka
I want the vodka
'Cause I know it's gonna make me play better…
It enters us
Without us knowing
Not welcome
Uninvited
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me peace
Let me rest
Eat us from the inside
Bit by bit
Cell by cell
Multiplying
Taking over
Invaded
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me peace
Let…
In the moment
So alive
Taunting death
Every color sings
Every smell
Breathe deep
Open wide
All is new
Sounds inspire
Electric space
Shed the skin
Of the old
All is new
All is new
Take my hand
Run so fast
We’re alive
Taunting death
A Song About an old Saying......
Sh*t Happens......
Lyrics
T.Mokbul 2010
-In A Day-
Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…
Fantastic! I definitely can't disagree with any of the other comments here. The lyrics are great, and the vocals set the perfect mood for the tune. The only suggestion I have is maybe to brighten the acoustic just a touch and maybe add a touch of delay (just a nudge below where you could consciously hear it).
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)
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.

Nice fingerstyle there Kavin, both intricate and relaxing at the same time. Very technical work, I bow to you sir ;)

OK...that settles it...you guys are one of my favorite bands...not just RPM bands, not just alonetone bands...but favorite bands of all time...

This song is brilliant...like Bowie fronting Animal Collective but completely different...
