"People Watching" by Air Traffic Controller 
Written by Dave Munro & William James McAuley III

Across the room
Across the street 
I'm watching you, watching me

So is that all there is to see
Are these your only memories

Are you the fly that's on the wall
You can't be caught, you'll never fall

Hiding in secret from us all
Who can you trust, who will you call

There was a time, you could do you
Now all you do is people watch
You people watch that's all you do
You loved and lost, you people watch

(Chorus)
Everybody's people watching 
Everybody's punch clocking
Waiting for the moonwalk 
to take them back 
to dance them away
It's all the same
Everybody's shadow boxing
Don't you want to stop drop and roll 
til the whole thing burns 
like you earned the flame
It's all the same
Shame shame shame 

How can you sleep
How will you die
When this is how you live your life
You see the world while locked inside
It's just a flash before your eyes 

We don't know why
We can't break through
If all we do is people watch
You people watch that's all you do
You loved and lost, you people watch

(Repeat chorus)

Lyrics:
LOVE YOU SO

why do i love you so
i don’t know but
that’s all i need to know
so don’t be askin’
why do i love you so
that’s all i need to know
so don’t be askin’ why

i never felt so good before
kinda makes me wonder what i did before
i was prob’ly always wantin’ more
i never knew it could be like this
kinda makes me wonder why i deserve this
every day is like christmas

if i stop to think about it
i might have to doubt it
let’s just pretend that
i never said anything about it
la-la-la-la
i know all that i need to know
baby i love you more than i show

why do i love you so
i don’t know but
that’s all i need to know
so don’t be askin’
why do i love you so
that’s all i need to know
so don’t be askin’ why

so many questions in my head
if i ever stopped to pull at every thread
i would probably never leave my bed
so i just think of you instead
and the puzzle piece parade just fades away
like sunshine on a cloudy day

if i stop to think about it
i might have to doubt it
let’s just pretend that
i never said anything about it
la-la-la-la
i know all that i need to know
baby i love you more than i show

why do i love you so
i don’t know but
that’s all i need to know
so don’t be askin’
why do i love you so
that’s all i need to know
so don’t be askin’ why

if i stop to think about it
i might have to doubt it
let’s just pretend that
i never said anything about it
baby i love you more than i show

why do i love you so
i don’t know but
that’s all i need to know
so don’t be askin’
why do i love you so
i don’t know but
that’s all i need to know
so don’t be askin’ why
no, no, i won’t be askin’ why
i love you so, that’s all i need to know!

"Coach & Ref Score A Win With Fresh Single 3-D."
http://raverrafting.com/coach-ref-3d/2018/10/29/

#BIO:
Coach & Ref is the collaborative project of longtime studio partners @Bleutopia and Daple. What started out as two artist/songwriters experimenting with recording techniques and equipment (especially vintage synths) in the studio, soon became a serious passion with a desire to share their love of artier micro-genres.

Channeling visions of retro-futurism with a potent fusion of indie and pop, the duo creates nostalgic soundscapes and lo-fi tones that seamlessly dovetail overt melodicism and bangin’ beats, with a mischievous grin that shines through it all. 

Their debut single #3D is out now and features Brooke Tomlinson on vocals. Sharing an insight to the track, Coach & Ref states:

“3-D is about stepping out of our manicured virtual-reality skins for a moment to be with someone in actual real-time three-dimensional humanity.”

Decisions written by Bleu, Ryan Perez-Daple, @iammiketaylor

#PRESS:
"Exuberent, unstoppably optimistic. Tune in now."
https://www.clashmusic.com/news/coach-ref-link-with-mike-taylor-on-decisions

"Coach & Ref showcases their knack for subtly forward thinking songwriting, a winningly smooth mix of retro-futurism, indie and smart pop." 
http://www.famemagazine.co.uk/coach-ref-unveil-decisions-feat-mike-taylor/

"Loaded with off-kilter keys and Bastille-esque synths that are joyfully full of retro sensibilities, Decisions is that one step closer to embarking on a carefree attitude."

Their second single #Decisions is out now and features Mike Taylor on vocals. Sharing an insight to the track, @iammiketaylor states:

“Decisions is a song that answers a question people ask me all the time “Why are you so damn happy” and the answer for me is, “I choose to be so damn happy”. It’s as simple as that. Of course, no human can be in a great mood all the time but I think happiness is more than an emotion, I think it’s something deeper than that.  I choose to go through life focusing on the positive. It’s not an easy thing to do but it forces me to identify and articulate internally what happiness is and if it's even possible for me to achieve it. Once I was able to define what happiness was for me it made it so much easier to love others and to be loved by others. So when I say “I made the decision to be happy…” what I am really saying is that I decided to go on a quest to find it.”

Coach & Ref "iNFiNiTY" featuring @bleutopia & Brooke Tomlinson on vocals

Written by Bleu, Ryan Perez Daple & Brooke Tomlinson
Produced by Coach & Ref
Out on @wearetheguard

Listen everywhere: https://ffm.to/coachref-infinity

As the name suggests, iNFiNiTY is a timeless feel-good bop built to loop endlessly. The very first track written by Coach & Ref and regular collaborator Brooke Tomlinson, it captures the excitement of a new project with the original stated goal of creating “fun-time music”. It’s the first C&R single to feature Bleu (aka Ref) on vocals, using his full range to volley with Brooke’s infectious chanting and the immutable horns that culminate in nothing less than a full on sexy-sax-solo by Daple (aka Coach)!

Coach & Ref - "iNFiNiTY"

The Social Distancing Sessions On The Time Machine
Broadcast Episode One

It's a bit of a peek behind the scenes with this broadcast of The Time Machine Radio Show that we've decided to call "The Social Distancing Sessions".  You've seen television news correspondents and late night talk show hosts practicing social distancing by their segments from their homes with very basic streaming that most of us might use with FaceTime or Skype on our cellular phones and laptops.  It's no different for radio around the world.  Some of us are still going to the radio stations to do our work, while others are not, due to the sheltering at home that all of us are dealing with.  Some of us are essential to the nation's public, while others are not.   Radio hosts Summer Blue, Tanya Teal and Michael McCartney used the FM dial to check in with friends of the broadcast including our sisters and brothers in the radio trenches as guests as well as musical artists that reach us with their music.   New music released and recorded during this time made their world broadcast debuts on The Time Machine, under one of the most challenging historical moments that we are all witnessing.  The aggressive spread of Covid-19 has had 
many test positive for the corona virus and sadly we have lost dear friends and family members.  This particular broadcast includes a discussion with a musician who tested positive and a local television host who tested negative, but still had the symptoms.   The Time Machine did its best to keep things light with humor and music in an honest attempt to communicate that we are all in this together.   Please be advised that this radio program took place before the passing of singer-songwriter Adam Schlesinger, who had been a long time friend of The Time Machine broadcast.    If you're looking for both comfort with some radio companionship, then feel free to join us.

The Social Distancing Sessions On The Time Machine

Mike Taylor - DWNTWN KDS

New music for Children by Jasmine Ash & Bleu
Read about this record here:
https://www.bleutopia.com/jasmineandbleu

Originally brought together to write catchy upbeat tunes for film & TV projects, the two realized they had a knack for ultra happy, feel good vibes.  With Jasmine's cute-as-heck singing and Bleu's character voices they envisioned a record of idiosyncratic indie-pop songs that invite positivity, acceptance, sunshine and make-believe.  Early on in the project the duo met to collaborate with the late great Allee Willis, legendary Grammy winning songwriter, artist and creative force of nature.  Allee generously offered her own unconventional perspective on the record which culminated in a song celebrating diversity "The Porcupine, The Skunk & The Platypus" which features Allee as “The Porcupine” on vocals.  Also featured on this record are the unique co-writing and background vocals of multi-talented Nashville based powerhouse Lindsey Ray.

THE TURTLE & THE BUNNY...
1. When The Sun Is Shinin' 
2. The Turtle & The Bunny
3. My Happy Place
4. The Porcupine, The Skunk & The Platypus - Featuring vocals by Allee Willis*
5. You Can Whistle
6. Here I Go**
7. Make Believe
8. I Wanna Go There Too**

All songs written & performed by
Jasmine Ash & Bleu except:
* Written by Jasmine, Bleu and Allee Willis
**Written by Lindsey Ray and Bleu
Produced & Mixed by Bleu
