This is one of my favorite dreamy pop songs of all time, so I decided to cover it.

LYRICS
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground

Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, will you hold my life

And I
And all I see is you

And take my hand, I lost where I began
In my heart I know all my faults
Will you help me understand

And I believe in you
You're the other half of me
Soothe and heal
When you sleep, when you dream, I'll be there if you need me,
whenever I hear you sing

There is a sun

It'll come, the sun, hear them call me down
I held you once, a love that once, and life had just begun
And you're all I see...
And trumpets blew, and angels flew on the other side (dear)

And you're all I see, and you're all I  need
There's a love that God puts in your heart

Paper Moses - Take Me Down (James Iha)

LYRICS
Fear is like the ocean, is my thinking too precocious?
I can't be sure cause I'm stuck in my mind
Dreaming of explosions then I wake up do devotions
Pray to nothing really, though surely I tried

Lacking invitations I'm alone with no emotions
I've learned to discard and set em aside
Leave them on the table let the demons suck the marrow
Nothing left but bones that have been sucked dry

You're better off in disguise
No emotions found in the eyes

Thinking of salvation, foremost goal of this good nation
It's hard to reach or even define
Patronize with flowers, shiny medals, toasty showers
Forget the thoughts that matter the most

Paper Moses - Better Off In Disguise

Trump's coming to Iowa, cops can search our trash, my city wants to put up cameras, and Marxists are infiltrating the church. And yes, we know it's the Electronic FRONTIER Foundation.

LYRICS
I don't work for food or pay any rent 
How's that for a little secret? 
Respect, it don't matter to me 
As long as livin' remains free 

I'm a hardened shell with pantomime structures 
A grain of sand on the cosmic shore 
My heart's in a wreck cuz our stories will diverge 
I wanna see you and be renewed 

I stay in my room and think about life 
It's oh so fun to philosophize 
How long will this work for me? 
I can't forget that money ain't free 

I'm a hardened shell with pantomime structures 
A grain of sand on the cosmic shore 
My heart's in a wreck cuz our stories will diverge 
I wanna see you and be renewed 

Each day lingers on and the nights they move too fast 
Burdened by poisonous dreams left for dead 
My chest clings to habits I picked up in the dark 
My days are long and my pleasures are few!

I wrote this song for my mom for her birthday.

LYRICS
Wherever there's trouble, she's there 
Whenever there's hunger, she'll be there 
To make things better, she walks in love 
She keeps the darkness at bay, with her light 

She taught me how to live 
My most important teacher 
Mother strives to walk like he did 
How can I ever repay her? 

Committed to the task of a life of love 
It's what she strives for everyday 
Nothing less than a life of love 
And all her children say: "thank you" 

She taught me how to live 
My most important teacher 
Mother strives to walk like he did 
How can I ever repay her?

The majority of this song was written on May 9, 2015 and most of the music was recorded on July 4, 2015 (I recorded the fireworks sample to my phone that day). The vocals and some minor instrumental additions were recorded on October 23 and 24.

LYRICS
Sit on the side of the world 
Stuck on the side of the world 
Sick of the sight of the world 
Lost in the eyes of the world 

Sit on the side of the world 
Laugh at the games of the world 
Broke by the lies of the world 
Flowers surrounding the world 

Heartbreak, daydreams, sleepy smiles 
Modes of being in this suffering age 
His mortal shell screams inside 
Drowned by life's intolerable sounds 

Itchy temples, foggy sighs, thoughts collapse and hearts ignite 
Formulas to reach beyond, outside, or deep within 
Hope is wasted energy 
A shield from life's impulsive whims 

Throbbing, throbbing melodies 
Soaring around on a trapeze 

The audience expects to laugh 
And passively accepts the joke 
Their own lives belong in a circus 
Featured right after the elephants and right before the man with a big red nose 

I searched inside myself and I found nothing of worth 
Dummy, ghost, monkey meat 
Trapped by compulsions that wreak havoc on my well-being 
Foggy thoughts blow away before I can examine them 

External skies suck my heart of all its luster 

Sit on the side of the world

Chad Timblin's Album

Paper Moses - Light In My Heart

Cantare Per Te is our new EP, in memory of my darling papà.

We recorded this together with Dave Bianchi, Ismael Dueñas, María di Pace, Lisa Bause, Sabrina Ramirez, Nicholas Dominic Talvola, Jorge da Rocha, Xavi Molero, Aurélien Landy Gana, Marc Mena, Aram Montagut Garcia and Gorka Garay Aldazabal, some of my favourite musicians in Barcelona. Thanks to my wonderful brother, we were also able to include some audios he'd already captured of papà singing!

So Cantare Per Te is inspired by, created together with and dedicated to our dear father... some of the songs he always loved to sing for us. 

This is our version of Resta Cu'mme, written by Domenico Modugno & Dino Verde.

Many thanks to Dave, Aurélien and the great musicians involved in this project, to Alexis Kevor for mastering, to Seb and Vincenzo for their much appreciated help and to Simone for accompanying us with love on this journey.

Cantare Per Te

Resta Cu'mme

"Singer-songwriter debuts with an evocative and beautifully unique voice.” El Periódico

A few summers ago, Samantha de Siena set sail for Barcelona to follow her dreams of singing and writing music. There, in the magic of Barcelonaʼs old town, she wrote her debut album, Here Inside (Whatabout Music) which has received glowing reviews. MondoSonoro praised this debut as “an elegant exercise in style” and Radio 3 as “an absolute pleasure for open ears and anxious souls.”

Now flourishing as both singer and song-writer, Samantha de Siena is soon to release a very special new album. Produced by Suso Sáiz and financed with the support of her fans, Lifting The Veil, is a true labor of love and a testament to Samantha's talent as an upcoming artist with "much to contribute to the international music scene." (RockZone)

"What if we already have everything we need and we already know the truth. If what once we forgot, we are now remembering..." Lifting The Veil

05 You laugh at the moon

A few summers ago, Samantha de Siena set sail for Barcelona to follow her dreams of singing and writing music. There, amidst the magic of Barcelonaʼs old town, this singer-songwriter from London wrote her debut album, Here Inside (Whatabout Music, 2010), which has received glowing reviews. MondoSonoro praised her debut as “an elegant exercise in style” and Radio 3 as “literally extraordinary, an absolute pleasure for open ears and anxious souls.”

Not easy to classify, her music and her “beautifully unique voice” (El Periódico) have been described as “a mixture of Beth Gibbons and Cat Power” (Butxaca) and likened to “Joanna Newsomʼs dreamlike folk.” (Time Out) “Her work is truly emotive, moving from folk to jazz in a single breath and capable of becoming punk with one emotional outburst. Both elegant and lucid, Samantha, creates very beautiful songs that, in one way or another, always manage to thrill her audience” (Lamono).

Samantha de Siena is now preparing to release a very special second album. Written and recorded with her impressive band, produced by the respected musical genius, Suso Sáiz, who plays on the album alongside Ricky Falkner and David Soler, and financed with the support of her fans, Lifting The Veil is a true labor of love.

06 Nature's game

This is a halfway finished demo by my friend William Travis Graves, better known as Mt. Egypt. I couldn't find the song anywhere, so I uploaded it for him.

Mt. Egypt - Everything In Moderation

Jupiter

Hailing from Wales but a resident of Japan for the past 25 years, Steve Good has, in various forms, been involved with music for his entire life. From classical violin through just about every genre imaginable, he finally found himself sucked into the vortex of London’s rave scene in the 90s. After moving to Tokyo in ’95, he started work at a recording studio, producing, mixing, mastering, remixing and programming music for artists, bands, games, and TV commercials, while simultaneously DJing for clubs and parties and producing via his own downtempo project, Puff Dragon. Involved in Labyrinth since its beginnings, Steve takes responsibility for that festival’s legendary sound quality.

After moving to the wild northern-Japanese island of Hokkaido in 2012 with his family, he found natural inspiration for what is now recognised as the Labyrinth sound. The epic beauty and remoteness of this icy, rock-covered isle on the north-west corner of the Pacific Ocean became the inspiration for Steve’s musical explorations of the interplay between the human and the natural, creating a huge and lasting effect on both his own musical output and the indelible artistic mark of Labyrinth Festival.

This present live set grew out of a phase of sadness and listlessness Steve experienced as the upheavals of 2020 ricocheted across the globe. In the absence of those usually unnoticed markers of the passage of time, anchor points drift and the moorings that ground opportunities for perspective and insight flit and vanish. Yet in this sea of disorientation, the plants continue to grow, rivers flow, waves crash, and the seasons keep on turning. In place of what appeared to be missing arises the possibility of experiencing each moment in its sublime evanescence. Steve Good’s Patterns of Perception 67 is forest music, mountain music, lake music. It holds chaos and beauty within it, transporting the listener to places both on the edge, and at the core, of the fleeting beauty of existence.

After witnessing his ethereal, truly moving opening set on day two of last year’s Labyrinth festival, this mix is a uniquely personal one for our collective. We’re delighted to welcome Steve onto our platform to share his inimitable musical vision.
