Lyrics:
I know you belong to somebody new
But tonight you belong to me
Although we're apart, you're a part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey, I know with the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Way down, way down along the stream, 
How very, very sweet will be your screams
Once more just to dream
In the silvery moonlight
My honey, I know
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Just-a-little ol' me

Lyrics:
It's been a few years since you left me, and I think I'm coping well. 
I've really picked myself up, and everything is swell. 
But even now, there's moments when I think of me and you. 
Cause when you were still with me, I knew exactly what to do. 
I keep a knife inside my heart to remind me of you. 
And when I'm feeling kinda sad, I take it out and run and shout. 
And I kill, yes, I kill. Let you ride in my pocket to soak up the thrill 
While I kill. Yes, I kill. And you're there with me all the while helping me spill all the blood. 
All the blood, all the blood, all the blood 
Oh, I can't help but kill... without you. 
The nights seem cold and empty. Now that I don't have you near. 
We used to walk at midnight, and was nothing that we feared. 
And here I sit all by myself, thinking what we might have done. 
A body here, a shallow grave, it all seems so long gone. 
I keep a knife inside my heart to remind me of you. 
And when I'm feeling kinda sad, I take it out and run and shout. 
And I kill, yes, I kill. Let you ride in my pocket to soak up the thrill 
While I kill. Yes, I kill. And you're there with me all the while helping me spill all the blood. 
All the blood, all the blood, all the blood 
Oh, I can't help but kill... without you. 
Without you in my life. Oh, I turn into the knife. 
And I can't help but kill... 
Without you.

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

Rituals and Resurrections ft. Gloom Darkheart

The rhythms of hip-hop provide a placemat for nervously melodic splendor and a melting pot of genres.  What are we to call this compellingly oddball mélange of rock, rap, jazz, reggae, and other influences, all in sway to some of the most mirthfully self-conscious streams of consciousness you’ve ever heard? We could call it attention-deficit-disorder rock. Or maybe we should just call it Forrest Day, the Bay-area bandleader who’s releasing his self-titled full-length debut on the Ninth Street Opus label. 

Cohorts include guitarist Terrell Liedstrand, a bandmate of Day’s since they were both 15, and bassist John Sankey, another high school buddy. Keyboard player Nick Wyner also came on board when the band was founded in 2006, and Jasper Skydecker joined up as their first full-time drummer a year later. When they went into the studio together for the first time, it was with several years of live performances under their belts and a chemistry that Day wanted to capture—and ever-so-slightly digitally tamper with.

“We hit analog tape with everything, but then dumped it into ProTools to manipulate it there,” says Day, who produced the album himself. “So a lot of it is like a big marriage between actual performance and then, in editing, turning some of the songs into loops—though it doesn’t really sound like it, because it’s so analog-sounding.” Day also points out that “there’s not a sample on the record. We brought in real violin players, who were in the room with real saxophones.”

Day’s amusingly confessional songwriting dabbles in social commentary about corporate greed (“Hoarders”) and our overmedicated society (“Meds”), among other concerns. But he returns again and again to everyday struggles common to itinerant musicians and non-musicians alike: bad bosses, lost jobs, debt collectors, and the girlfriend as muse or unwitting patron of the arts. There’s an elaborate work ethic apparent in these meticulously crafted tunes that would seem to put the lie to lyrics that talk about being dreamy, uncertain, and aimless. What we have on this striking debut, then, is a collection of incredibly focused anthems for an unfocused generation.

Dr. Sunshine Is Dead

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.
