an old recording i found on my hd from the time i still had the shapeshifter. res-4 is again the main instrument. pinged and sequenced from rene with an moving clock from maths. shapeshifter makes the bass chord drone. g0 randomly modulated by wogglebug gives the field recordings movement. microkorg live playing on top and a flute from logic...that's all i remember... i read beckett when i arranged the recordings so thats the reason for the title, i often almost cry while trying to mix and becketts words can help quite a bit: “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better”.

LYRICS

if you ever get tired of here
i can't build you a rocketship, baby
must've skipped that day of school

i know you shuffle when you step
and the other kids all been making fun of you lately
i think the way you walk is cool

and i will never let you walk home alone

never been much a fan of fighting
but when you asked me to fight for you, darlin'
boy, those punches flew

started running through the crowd
like we ran from your dad who had run from your momma
see, running ain't nothing new

but i won't ever leave your side if you fall
and i will never let you walk home alone

[bridge]

if you ever get tired, just know i'm right next to ya
and i'm sure tired, too
this is a tired type of world

so if you ever need to cry
use my shoulder as a pillow, i've sure cried too
cried over this here world

but i promise to hide your tears from the sky
and i won't ever leave your side if you fall
and i will never let you walk home alone
no, i won't ever let you walk home alone

Walking Home.

unknown な誰かの心象風景を建築するアンビエント・ユニット 始動 ！

「ワーカホリックな慌ただしい平日をどうにかくぐり抜け、ようやくたどり着いた日曜日。のんびりとリラックスしながら気ままに休日を過ごす彼の心には、時間の経過とともにいつしか“void= 空虚感” が漂い始めていた…。」
近年再び盛り上がりを見せる“Ambient～NewAge～Tape カルチャー” をキーワードに、やけのはら、P-RUFF、H.TAKAHASHI の3人によって結成されたアンビエント•ユニット、UNKNOWN ME。1 作目となる今回、彼らがスポットを当てたのは“日曜日”。
まるで窓から差し込む日光のような、浮遊感のあるやわらかい音像と丸みを帯びたリズム。日が傾くにつれて、それらが重なり溶け合ってまどろみへと誘う。夜が深まり徐々に立ち現れる、スペイシーなトリップ感を帯びたアンビエンス。“誰も知らない誰か” の休日の過ごし方にフォーカスし、起床～就寝までの時間の移ろいを軸として展開する、ウォーミーでリラクシンな30 分。
DJ、ラッパー、トラックメイカー、執筆家として様々なシーンを縦横無尽に横断し独自の活動を続けるやけのはら。DJ 活動と並行してレーベルradloop を主宰、7inch 作品のリリースを重ねるP-RUFF。Entertainment Systems、Where To Now? Recordings 等、海外レーベルからもカセット作品をリリースするアンビエント作家H. TAKAHASHI 。
3 人がそれぞれ持つバックグラウンドや音の個性が絶妙に交わることで、奇跡的に生み出されたアンビエント•カセットが、やけのはらのレーベル“NOPPARA TAPES” のリリース第一弾として少量限定リリース！

Lyrics: 
---------
i call to mind
a love that fades
your pink cashmere 
summer nights
ur mommas house 
a place to hide
i kissed u there
u opened wide

u must know
that i miss ur stare
u mesmerized
me daily
u must know
that i miss u here
hypnotize me

u sang to me
an eye to eye
a melody 
so undefined
i met u in the velvet light
who knew we'd someday say goodnight

u must know
that i miss ur stare
u mesmerized
me daily
do u recall
when i kissed u there
hypnotise me
