Music, vocals, mastering: Tulipe Records @tulipe-records
Vocal: Amanda Sanderson @phoebeelena
Lyrics: Dominique Briand

A huge thank you to Tulipe and Amanda for doing such a wonderful job on this song!!

This song is about a woman who falls in love with her best friend when he sees nothing but a buddy in her. She tries to keep her heart silent.

Lyrics
You never knew
You haven't seen
That you were more
But more than what
More than you
More for me

Chorus
Shut up my heart
This guy's not for you
Please shut up my heart
This guy doesn't want you
And why is that? I don't know. 
But why? You don't know

When you saw him
You've lost your mind
He didn't see
He was more for you
How could he?
Would you have told?

Chorus
Shut up my heart
This guy's not for you
Please shut up my heart
This guy doesn't want you.
And why is that? I don't know
But why? You don't know

I’ve lost nothing
But I'm lost
Yet I'm dying
You make me mad
What am'I to you?
Not even me

Chorus
Shut up my heart
This guy's not for you
Please shut up my heart
This guy doesn't want you
And why is that? I don't know
But why? You don't know

That’s how it is
And no longer asking
Just forget him, please forget him
Take his buddy, just his buddy
That's all he can give
That's all he wants to give

and be grateful

The Buddy (Tulipe Record - Feat Amanda Sanderson)

Glowing Moon

This one was developed and recorded one afternoon about a year ago with Jose (the Problem) when no one was thinking about mics or recording quality or nuthin', and I can’t really remember what we did. I opened it back up a few weeks ago and did a little editing. But it was basically live. I was playing v-drums somewhere back there with a little speaker, while Jose played piano with at least one mic. We may have added the vocals separately. I don’t know. I just don’t know.

Tales From a Midnight Bucket
                            Janine Levinson & Jose Freitas

It pours on me from a midnight bucket somewhere in my chest
Getting cold, maybe tears, maybe oil, maybe blood
I don't know

It hounds me so from a twisted chair squeaking as it rocks
Burn my ears, maybe cries, maybe songs, maybe pleading
I don't know

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul  

It gets a hold: a wire machine with poison in the gears
Bitter oil, maybe pitch, maybe tar, maybe grease
I don't know

It’s underneath my parchment skin and worms its way to light
Maybe bugs, maybe hair, maybe bone, maybe bile 
I don’t know

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul     
ooooooooh!

Strings of tar
Rising twister helpless in the rancid air
Cataract stars 
Fraying leather 
Helpless in the rancid air

It shoots in me a spear of ice freezing in my chest
Getting cold, maybe tears, maybe soil, maybe gone
I don't know  

It undermines my blistered soles and forces me to crawl
Maybe dirt, maybe worms, maybe flesh, maybe gold 
I don’t know 

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul

The Midnight Bucket (Live) (Probably)
