Don’t let your troubles take over your world
you’ve seen it better and you’ll see it soon
and if those clouds they keep coming
just stick around stay here with me

Wait in the forget till fear is unknown
embrace your heartache bitter sweet one
and if those clouds they keep coming
just stick around stay here with me

So if one day you lose faith in everyone
get sick with experience all meaning has gone
and those clouds keep coming
just stick around stay here with me

Stay here with me

Dark sound scape featuring cello, RS sampler, bass guitar, and Greg and Tom discussing their endless idea war.  

Endless war

Haunting melodica, xylophone, RS samples and rhythms, and a big bass line.  We've had reggae influence before but this is the most it's invaded our sound yet.  

Yysyg

Another track with vocals!  This is a new direction for Don't Die.  Our previous albums have only hinted at vocals and never had lyrics.  It has cello, xylophone, marimba, a straight forward beat, and Tom's voice.  The lyrics are a plea for peace in a relationship gone wrong.  If only we could escape our stressful world and go to that beautiful, romantic vacation place in our mind and everything would be pure again.

well I waited for you
to tell me what to do
we were leaving
I want you to understand
we within this
light demand
you belong in another world
and I need you to take me
with you
come let’s get on the train
and leave
you never know low do you?
and I know what they mean
cruelty is a stranger
and kindness is your guide
you don’t have the big arrow
on your heart

Let's leave now

Another soundtrack piece.  Cello melodies, synth pads, live drums, shaker, and computer glitches.  Near the end of recording session our hard drive crashed.  The Cello melodies were going to be redone, but important files were lost and this is all that was left.  I'm glad it brought everything to a halt and made us almost lose our minds.

Flight of the carpenter bees

The final track of Atarashii, this one also includes Tom's vocals and a dark heartbroken theme.  A big beat with synthy keys, a bass line, cello stabs, and whispy vocals.  

wanting to live forever
and we’re stuck in the afterglow
together

lying around
it’s best to be free
oh to have the time
to just be

a long vacation
rained in
the happiest cat
alone again

when we finally find
the time

no convention
pay attention

ah to be free

wanting to live forever
and we’re stuck in the afterglow
together

Afterglow

Electroacoustic soundtrack music.  Our 5th album Atarashii now includes vocals with lyrics!  A first for us.  Still got the sound scapes going too.
