I'm outta sight
You got a limit and I don't
It isn't right
Why
Should I fight
My demons all day
All night
I found out
They won't bite
I leave it slight
ly open to interpretation
All night

And I
Made up my mind
We can never unwind
If you do
Your not our kind
But never mind
We're so far ahead and we never look behind

Now
We wanna dance
Second chance, all night
We're outta sight
Oh
We love to party
With all our might
All day
All night

I got groove
It makes you move
It isn't right
What I do to you
All night

I
Don't move
I sit here all night
Making the right
Music for body
It feels right, alright

And honey
You got it right
I go slight
Ly crazy every night
Out of my mind
Let's call it outta sight

And honey
You got it right
You got the right moves
You move it from left to right
All day and all night
You're outta sight

Now shake it right
Don't fight
The feeling in your body
Tonight
All night
(Shake it for me all night)
Alright

Banzai's "Outta Sight" Reprise

(If you like this song, you may also like the rest of the album: https://soundcloud.com/daniel-merkwurdigliebe/sets/slipthought)

Finally, I resolve to let thoughts go by
Finally, I involve all the reasons why
Finally, I dissolve, start again, retry
Finally, I did solve the crime against my high

What did you do this time?

Swimmingly, I let out a great big sigh
Famously, it was me who would learn to cry
Hastily, everything found their reasons to fly
Easily, I perceived it all in my minds eye

What did you see this time?

Freakishly, I can see myself if I try
Seemingly, it could be nothing but a lie
Eagerly, I await the next day gone by
Finally, you can see how I revolve, goodbye

Finally (Goodbye)

I don't know if it is (still) jazz. 
Use jazz hands according to your best judgement and at your own risk on this one.

Not long ago, we still had our reasons
Not long ago, I saw the 4 seasons
So long ago, why are you asking
I should just go, stop asking questions

And why is it waiting
Does it want something from me
Then why does it not take it
I give every thing for free

Oh, so we may get lower
Oh, the deep end goes much lower than this
Oh, we shouldn't go much lower
Oh, there is a limit to everything

I dream of simple things
I dream of having dreams
I dream everything is as it seems
At least for today

Oh, wait another minute here
Oh, I think I finally see it clear
There is no complication
No need for  hesitation

Oh, So we may get higher
Oh, The sky goes much higher than this
Oh, we shouldn't get much higher
Oh, there is a limit to every thing

Oh, but I did get higher
Oh, I wanted to get a little higher
Oh, I set my mind on fire
Oh, guess there's a limit to every thing

This Day, Today

Simplemind - The One Where He Lost His Mind

Look, nobody is going to make a cover of this one and come even remotely close to the original. But this was something I wanted to do for a very long time.

Very Ape ((Nirvana Cover))

oo, oo, oo oo, oo
There's something different about you
Say, say, say say, say
Let's be together for a day
Stay, stay, stay stay, stay
Please hold me, don't run away
Hi, hi, hi hi, hi
You'll never get the better of me
Bye, bye, bye bye, bye
Gotta go, got places to be
Why, why, why why, why
Why could you not hold onto me
See, see, see see, see
You'll never find another like me

I, I, I I, I
I am still so hung up on you
You, you, you you, you
Feel the same, but you don't know what to do
so, so, so so, so
Come over, cause I need you so
Safe, safe, safe, to, say
We're out of time and nothing is new

In some ways I, fly, but the fall is so long
And you're right, yeah you're right, in some ways it's wrong
For the signs, so blind, for the signs, are so strong
It burns our minds, goodbye minds, so long


Do, do, do do, do
Do all your voodoo to me and I
Knew, knew, knew knew, knew
Our love was only meant for a
Few, few, few few, few
Moments, and it's to a totally
New, new, new new, new
New life, new way, and another day

Would, would, would would, would
You just take a moment please
To, to, to to, to
Really listen to me for a moment please
'Cause, 'cause, 'cause 'cause, 'cause
I really need to say some things
Ha, ha, ha ha, ha
Funny, I can't remember anything

In my way, I, die, but this life was so long
I was right, yeah I'm right, thibs is all wrong
For you'll find, we are so blind, and we're not strong
I burned my mind, goodbye mind, so long

Goodbye Minds

Nice try, but you, need to really focus
Because we are, not like you may know us
We fly, back and forth your mind we notice
Suddenly you realize what you could be

Oh, you know, we disintegrated, but that is
Still more than your ego inflated, just 'cause
You thought that you figured out what it
Meant to, be misunderstood and hated

Nice try, but you really need to notice
When you die, something's going to take your qualities
And you'll be, left with only fallacies, did you
Really think that your were somehow special

Nice try, but I don't really think you know it
By heart, or maybe you just don't show it
You asked me, if I somehow want to learn it
I said, fine, but you never motivated
Your, thought line, I did everything to break it
Now, we're fine, 'cause we never really take it

Nice Try

Hai hai hai hai, what you're gonna be like
Hai hai hai hai, what you're gonna find
Hai hai hai
Oh me oh my, you are very fine
My my my my, gonna make you mine
Hai hai hai

So much is thought about your attitude
So much is lost to your body
I I just wanna be, wanna be

So much is said about your gratitude
(High high high high as a kite tonight)
So much is known by everybody
(I know that nobody got it)
I hope we catch a wave too

Hai hai hai hai, what you're gonna be like
Hai hai hai hai, what you're gonna find
Hai hai hai
Oh me oh my, you are very fine
My my my my, gonna make you mine
Hai hai hai

Plan R

Out of our minds, out on the edge, edging closer to find
Out of the deep-end, into the dirt, I guess we'll be fine
Out of time, yeah we've fallen behind, I guess we are blind
Out of our heads, straight into the red, I guess we are dead

I wasn't always, I wasn't always in this deal
I had my own way, I had these things that I could feel
Now there is no way, no there is no way I can heal
Losing it sideways, breaking my own face, breaking the seal

We are not your loneliness  
We are not controlling this

Into the scene, into our manic dream, oh yeah, it must seem
We're out of this world, some place untold, that is where we have been
And in time we'll leave you behind, because you are blind
Out of your mind, alone with the divine, we hope you'll be fine

You weren't always, you weren't always in this deal
You had your own way, you were the one who made us feel
We could belong here, there was a place for us to heal
And as we leave sideways, we only stop to make you feel

We are not your loneliness
We are not controlling this

Manic Dream

You can't afford the thoughts now
You got time to burn now
I know every part now
You got now, you got now
You got it now

I do default now
I got mind to burn down
It's all my fault now
And there you are, ooh
You got it now

I know this feeling
We are retrieving
Your hidden meaning
It's so deceiving
(You got now, you got now, you got it now)

Oh yeah, you're fucked now
You got it now
It got you

Oh what's all this now
We all self-destruct now
It's a little sad how
We're all kinda fucked now
It doesn't matter anyhow
We all could use a break now
We all just want a break now
We all just wanna break
Break you into pieces now

Oh yeah you're fucked now

Oh yeah, you're fucked now
You got it now
It got you

You Got It Now

Deprived of all your, renovation, all is in the dust
Derived from all your, inspiration all is ending on the floor

You know, something wrong here, something wrong
Is something wrong, should we go
(You know, the silence of my mind)
You know, something wrong here, something wrong
No
(You know, the silence of my mind)

Decide, on whether exlamation is the perfect end
Besides, all these additional questions do not make sense

You know, something wrong here, something wrong
Is something wrong, should we go
(You know, I set fire to my mind)
You know, something wrong here, something wrong
No
(You know, I set fire to my mind)

I deny you all the time
I was never all that fine
With the way we pulled that crime
I decide to draw the line
I decide to draw the line

Make your moments ever clear
You live your life while I live fear
We were never all that near
'Cause I was never really here

Escape

I got nothing to see now
Hold on, hold on
You got nothing to say now
Hold on, hold on
Guess we want to be free now
Hold on, hold on
Guess it's something to be now
Hold on, hold on

So nothing to see now
Move on, hold on
Did you have something to say now
Go on, come on
My mind will receive now
What's wrong, what's wrong
I can never believe now
It's done, it's done

Hold onto the feeling
As we break through the ceiling
Oh, gotta keep believing
That we still have a reason

We got nowhere to be now, hold on
Hold onto me, as you try to pull me down
Hold onto me, as I try to make a sound
Hold onto me, as you try to calm me down
Hold onto me

Hold On

You looked like a scene that I was willing to join
Your words, hit me like a kick to the groin
You could've known, there was another side to the coin

I fold, I cannot hang on to this flow
You're cold, thank you for letting me know
We roll, oh, how does it go

Break my, defenses I put up long ago
Sometimes, we lose every sense of control
So why, is there anything I need to know 

At times, I lose every sense of my soul
We fell down, just about a minute ago
And now, we go to the back of the line

I sympatize with the lies we are selling our souls
I cut the ties, cut the ties, yeah I'm letting it go
I didn't mind, it wasn't like I had something to show
For all the time, all the time we have been on this flow

Break Me

Maybe one day you'll look back in time
Maybe one day you'll see it all
Maybe one day you'll walk down the line
Maybe one day you'll learn to fall

'Cause we rise and we fall
Yeah we rise and we fall

I wasn't the one who called you out
I wasn't the one who spoke of doubt
I wasn't the one who was too proud
I wasn't the one

Maybe some day we'll be fine
Maybe some day we'll know it all
Maybe some day we'll meet some time
Maybe some day we'll no longer fall

'Cause we rise and we fall
Yeah we rise and we fall

I wasn't the one who called you out
I wasn't the one who spoke of doubt
I wasn't the one who was too proud
I wasn't the one

I was the one who soon burned out
I was the one who made you doubt
I was the one who made you proud
I was the one

I Was The One

I'm alright, I'm alright, and I don't even try
I'm taking the ride, so please say your goodbye
This is it, this is it, oh me, oh my
Maybe I should quit, well I would rather die

I knew from the start I wouldn't be alive

I Knew From The Start

Song2 ((blur cover))

We're going under
This is not our lucky day
My mind's asunder
Oh, let's save those thoughts away
Yeah I heard the thunder
There are still so many things to say
You disturbed our slumber
Oh, this is not your lucky day

We're going out there
We're going all the way, the wrong way
You may think it's unfair
But it was you who chose to play
And now we don't care
No, we can keep this up all day
Yeah, you better beware
'Cause this seems not you lucky day

Oh this is where you drown, you drown
It's all the same so let's, get out of town
Love will end and now, you're down, you're down
Thoughts may blend, and you, will drown, will drown

Oh this is where you drown, you drown
It's all the same so let's, get out of town
Love will end and now, you're down, you're down
Thoughts may blend, and you, will chase yourself around

Lucky Day

What Is You (old panic brain demo)

Round And Round The Bend

Holy shit this kicked my ass...
I've been working on this track for seven days straight, practically day and night.
The first three days I wasted trying to come close to the vocals and being amazed at how Prince got this weird intonation and super quick vibrato.
Then I remembered something... He sometimes used to speed up and slow down the tape and sing in that way. Once I figured that out, I think I  got at least somewhat close.
The other really difficult part was to get a digital audio workstation not to try and retain the pitch of audio being played slowed down or sped up, it always wanted to be fancy and time-stretch it, but in the end, I found a workflow that mirrored tape.
Of course, I also did not have Sheila E. available (she wouldn't take my call) for the female singing parts, so I had to do those too (sorry for that).
Honestly, this was very fun, but also hugely frustrating, to reverse engineer one of my favourite songs.
They can actually be perfectly overlayed on top of each other, variable BPM (probably because he messed so much with the tape) notwithstanding.

Kinda This Caravan Thing Or Something

Look
Single me out
Foolish and alone
Wide eyed stare and the blue cries
I got shook for so many reasons
I got hooked on the sound
Why is the motion there
If I never get to take flight
Why do I even care
If it ever really feels right

I got lost
Cannot see the trees
I need things that make me feel right
I got frost bite in the knees
I fell to many many pieces

I got lower than anybody else
It took longer to get lost than be found
I found a long way to go
I have nowhere to go

Why is it never said
I agree with the low end
I have a new regret
When the fear starts flowing
So foolish and upset
I believe in the slow hand
Have no need for your second guess
Throw it right out the window

Feeling of the century
Here come the thoughts swooping in
I don't feel like I'm following
High from the ideas
You gotta feel about it some way
Lying on the cellar floor
Make a sound like a falling tree

Why the low end swing
Could you be a little slower
Hold on to anything
Don't wanna fall any lower
Please let me stay and sing
Don't wanna know that it's over
Why the low end swing

Why is the notion there
That we're not supposed to be here
I am the new regret
When the cracks start to appear
So foolish and so sad
I believe in the slow hand
Have no need for your second guess
Throw you right into the deep end

Turning of the century
Here comes nothing closing in
I kinda feel like I'm cornered in
High from the ideas
You gotta hear about it some day
Lying on the cold floor
Make a sound like a fallen tree

Why the low end swing
Could you be a little slower
Hold on to anything
Don't wanna fall any lower
Please let me stay and sing
Don't wanna know that it's over
Why the low end swing

Low-end Swing
