Teleigh's Telescope

The streets are wrapped in tinsel
the smiles all look the same
Every store's got a soundtrack
and each one's to blame
I hum a line of something real
it fades into the air
Guess no one buys a Christmas song
that tells you it's unfair

All these empty wrappers
shining on the floor
Used to hold a feeling
don't fit anymore
Tried to write you truth
but it came out wrong
Now I'm stuck in December
with another sad song

There's glitter on the guitar
and hope on credit cards
And peace on earth's postponed again
it's written in the stars
I tried a rhyme with "snowfall"
but it melted when I played
Seems love don't stand a chance
when every chord's cliche

Empty wrappers
pretty lies and bows
Cover up the quiet
no one shows
If joy's a candle
mine burned too long
Just wax on the windows
and a half-finished song

Maybe I'll hang my blues
by the chimney tonight
See if truth fits under
the tree's cold light
Maybe Santa's tired too
with nothing left to bring
Except another chorus
we forgot how to sing

Empty wrappers
rustle when I leave
Even silence
sounds like make-believe
But I'll keep on playing
low and strong
'Cause maybe next Christmas
the truth's still a song

Empty Wrappers

Smoothfully

Lyrics:
I know why,
You feel so,
Down & out.
Upside down.
Some days we,
Overthink.
Analyze,
Everything.
~~~~~~~
Split in half,
Down the Seam.
You want to,
Dream.
Dream.
Dream if you want to Dream,
It's okay.
~~~~~~~
And yes, we will,
Find our way,
Through the dirt,
And Debris.
~~~~~
When we know,
We will show you how.
Until then,
It's bedtime.
Where the angels await you.
So, rest your wearied mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What did you think,
You would dream?

Kuala Lumpur - Berlapis Jiwa

Kuala Lumpur (meaning roughly "muddy estuary") is the capital of Malaysia.

Administered as a federal territory, the city is Malaysia's administrative, cultural, and economic center and the heart of the country's largest metropolitan area. Most residents simply call it "KL." This metropolis of millions is a melting pot of cultures and religions; mosque minarets, Christian church steeples, Chinese pagodas, and Indian temples can be seen throughout the city. Up to eleven million tourists visit Kuala Lumpur annually.

Besides the buildings from the city's architectural past, skyscrapers (especially in the financial district) characterize Kuala Lumpur's cityscape as symbols of its progress. The city covers an area of ​​243.65 km² and has 1,982,112 inhabitants (as of 2020), making it the largest city in Malaysia, ahead of Subang Jaya, which is part of the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area.

Kuala Lumpur - Berlapis Jiwa

*Update: since some of you have been asking us privately who’s singing, let’s clear it up. Tom sings the entire song, going from baritone to tenor (maybe even soprano 😓) throughout the track, and not just in this song! 😂 Mary did some backing vocals, but all the main parts are Tom. 🤟

📣Here we are again with an unexpected upload, born from some random experiments that turned out way too good to be thrown in the trash… the Mac trash, obviously 😅
Headlines is inspired by a chiptune melody that likely dates back to the early 90s, at least as far as our keyboard player remembers, though even that isn’t completely certain. The track comes from the demoscene era, but the original title and author are unknown to us and may have been lost over time, so proper credit isn’t possible.
No samples were used. The melody was replayed, rearranged and completely reworked into a new song with a modern production and original vocals.
Too good to be left in a drawer, so here it is.
And stay tuned… in a few days we’ll be back with our new (and last) Christmas song, along with a very fun video where we’ll turn into Santa’s elves! 🎄🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️
This song is available exclusively on SoundCloud.

Lyrics:

Do you already know this song?
Yeah, you know it
(Oh yeah)
Are you ready to sing along
to this song?

Let's go!

Everywhere I go
I'm hearing this tune
'Cause all the songs sound the same 
nothing feels new

But this one’s got something fresh
We made it loud, we made it real
Way better than
all that noise around

Someone’s even cloning us
So we can blast this track
all over the world
and up in space 
yeah, space!

The headlines now all say:
"Time stands still!"
There’s only one song left
spinning around

Someone's even trying to kill
all our clones
To shut this anthem down
all over the globe

And we’re trying to stay sane
But this is insane
Can’t even leave the house
the doors are locked
Someone said “That’s enough”
Now silence reigns
There’s no more sound 
real music is gone

Youtubers and AIers everywhere
This must be some kind of fever dream
It’s way too much - we’ve had enough

So give us all your strength
your power, your hopes, your dreams
And tell us where you wanna go
for real!

We’re fighting hard to keep alive
the soul of real sound
We’ll make your dreams
the next headlines

Youtubers and trappers everywhere
This must be some kind of fever dream
It’s way too much - we’ve had enough

So give us all your strength
your power, your hopes, your dreams
And tell us where you wanna go
for real!

Bye bye!
