Steam Powered Giraffe's very first album was originally released in 2009. By 2011, founding member Erin Burke (who played the robot Upgrade) had left the band to pursue other opportunities. Since the band only had one album at the time, during their 2011-2012 performances at the San Diego Zoo, the band decided to change this album to feature just the current robot lineup. This included new cover art, the removal of Erin Burke's vocals, and the replacement of the song "I Am Not Alone" with the song "Ice Cream Parade". 

This version features the original release of Album One as it was in 2009, with the robot Upgrade, her vocals, and her song "I Am Not Alone". It also includes the track Ice Cream Parade from the 2011 release as a bonus.

Lyrics:
I never really meant to choke you out
But you fell too fast for me to catch the rope
And darling, I'm sorry that I had to let you sink
Into the lake where they'll never hear your screams
So trust me when I say it all just fell in place
And sometimes murder is just icing on the cake
And trust me when I say it's meant to be
I'll bring roses to your garden while you sleep under the tree

Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree
Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree

I never really meant to squeeze that hard, I got lost in
Feelings and lurked down in the dark
And sweetheart, I never really meant to stab that deep
It just seemed that you were so happy to bleed
So trust me when I say it all just fell in place
And sometimes murder is just icing on the cake
And trust me when I say it's meant to be
I'll bring roses to your garden while you sleep under the tree

Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree
Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree

Intro
If you sleep before I rise, I'll paint my name behind your eyes
And when you wake, you'll speak in moans, of graveyards, soil and broken bones
If you scream, I'll hum instead a lullaby to raise the dead
So close your eyes, be still, be brave. Now hold your breath and dig my grave. 

I tracked you down through burning leaves
Through broken masks and screams. All on Hallows eve
I kissed the dirt, you spoke my name
And now you open the curse that you just can't escape
I found your house, your porchlight dead
The pumpkins watched me crawl where your footsteps led
I pressed my hand against the glass
And now I'll chip away until there's nothing left

This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold

I used to watch you from afar, your face a beacon in the dark
I'd trail behind you when you'd take a stroll around the local park
I'd watch the way you'd stop and stare at every little thing you'd see
Your eyes so kind, so full of wonder, how I wish they'd look at me
You can't imagine how my life turned upside down when you were gone
A tragic accident that took you from the world which you belong
And so I snuck into the morgue, your final resting place of peace
And took those peepers for myself, a little gift for me to keep
And every now and then, I'd put them in and see things through your eyes
Your friends, your house, your favorite flowers, and the bluest skies
And though you never looked at me, I know you meant to secretly
I see it all now through your eyes, the way that it was meant to be
But lately, I've been craving more, I just need you around
And so I tracked down where they buried you beneath the ground
An incantation stolen from the book of the Gloomnomicon
And just like that, from out your coffin came that scream-like song

This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold
This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold

Using an original piece of mine (from 2004/5 or so) to test out some things while working on BML. Very rough as I didn't mix it or anything, just out the box BML.

Off on an adventure (Multivaders)

I've been tinkering with music since I was a kid, composing tunes for fun. Nowadays, I mainly write orchestral scores for video games. Alongside this, with an extensive career in the games industry as a tools programmer I've now focused my skills on developing next-generation sample libraries and music software.
