OST BE WATER

MFSong#2.v2

Demo of Hangman Circa 2006. My chef friend Masa owns a restaurant in Santa Clara called Gochi. Being the kind soul that he is, he let me record in his space when he was closed. We set up drums in a room, and right after the first few hits there was a loud banging on the wall. Turns out, someone was trying to get a massage in the space next door. Not knowing any better, I suggested that relocate the drums to the bathroom, but the reflections from all the tiles in close quarters created a lot of problems (i.e. it sounded like sh*t) Drummer Tim Bulkley gave such a great performance though, so I was determined to salvage the track somehow. Luckily my audio guru friend Peff processed the tracks through some gear modified to Abbey Road specs. I wrote this with the Beatles in mind, so in the end it all worked out. The file was called GM, which stands for George Martin - the Beatles' producer.

Lyrics:
Never been near a university, 
Never took a paper or a learned degree, 
And some of your friends think that's stupid of me, 
But it's nothing that I care about. 

Well I don't know how to tell the weight of the sun, 
And of mathematics well I want none, 
And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, 
But I know one thing, 
And that's I love you. 
When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done, 
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton. 

I can't have been there when brains were handed round 
(please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton), 
Or get past the cover of your books profound, 
(please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton), 
And some of your friends thinks it's really unsound, 
That you're ever seen talking to me. 

Well I don't know how to write a big hit song, 
And all crossword puzzles well I just shun, 
And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, 
But I know one thing, 
And that's I love you. 

I'm not proud of the fact that I never learned much, 
Just feel I should say, 
what you get is all real, 
I can't put on an act, 
It takes brains to do that anyway. (And anyway...) 

And I can't unravel riddles, problems and puns, 
How the home computer has me on the run, 
And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, 
But I know one thing, 
And that's I love you (I love you). 

If depth of feeling is a currency, 
(please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton), 
Then I'm the man who grew the money tree, 
(no Chain of Office and no hope of getting one). 
Some of your friends are too brainy to see, 
That they're paupers and that's how they'll stay. 

Well I don't know how many pounds make up a ton, 
Of all the Nobel prizes that I've never won, 
And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, 
But I know one thing, 
And that's I love you. 

When all logic grows cold and all thinking gets done, 
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton. 
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton. 
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor. 
(Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton.)

Hold On To Your Humanity

Late November

Sweet Dreams are waiting
In the night 
The day is fading

But first you gotta close your eyes
To make it dark so the stars can shine
and a dream can start
In a lullabye

Good night Morissa and
Goodnight Miguel
Goodnight to Nito
Hope you all sweet well

And the nightengale will sing
That you can do anything 
In your dreams

So what are you waiting for
there's a place where you can go 
where your
Dreams are born

And we'll see you all in the Mornin'
Where the orange juice and cereal
and milk are pourin'
But for now I hope that you
all are snorin' cuz

Sweet Dreams are waitin'
in the night
the day is fadin'

The Fight

If just one word can change the world
Then let it start with "us"
But I don't want to jinx it
I don't wanna mess it up

Little dreams can give hope wings
When you add them up
But I don't want to blink yet
I don't wanna wake them up

Every Road Can Take You Home
Some of 'em high and some are low
You know they both can work
That is the beauty of the universe

If just one word can save our world
Then let it start with "trust"
But I don't want to break it
I don't wanna mess it up

Little wings can lift great things
If they can fly as one
From skies to constellations
Into the great beyond

Every soul can feel so alone
Whether it's high or whether it's low
You know they both might work
That is the beauty of the universe

So many questions on my plate
"where are we from? where are we going?"
Too many answers to contemplate

If just one phrase can save the day
Then tomorrow is a present untouched...

Every Road Can Take You Home
Some of 'em high and some are low
Who knows which one is worse?
That is the beauty of the universe

Every Road Can Take You Home

Goh Nakamura is a singer, songwriter, musician, composer and actor. His guitar work has been featured in films directed by Ridley Scott such as A Good Year, American Gangster and Body of Lies. His track "Daylight Savings" also appears in the film Feast of Love. Nakamura made his acting debut in Dave Boyle's award-winning film, Surrogate Valentine, where he played a fictionalized version of himself. The film screened at a number of festivals including the SXSW Film Festival and Nakamura won a Special Jury Prize for Acting from the Dallas International Film Festival for his performance in it. 

Nakamura's first album is entitled Daylight Savings.[5] A music video directed by Dino Ignacio for a track on that album entitled "Embarcadero Blues" became featured on the frontpage of YouTube and soon amassed over 1 million views.[6] The title track of the album, "Daylight Savings" was also featured on the soundtrack for the 2007 film Feast of Love, directed by Robert Benton, based on the Charles Baxter novel of the same name and starring Morgan Freeman, Greg Kinnear, Selma Blair and many others.[7]

Nakamura also co-wrote the lyrics for the song "Bird's Eye", performed and also co-written by Mike Patton, Serj Tankian and film composer Marc Streitenfeld, which was a featured song on the original soundtrack for Ridley Scott's 2008 film, Body of Lies.[8][9] Nakamura has also contributed bass & guitar music to the score of Ridley Scott's American Gangster and also guitar and vocals to the score of another Ridley Scott film, A Good Year.

Nakamura's second album is entitled Ulyssess and was considered more of a "branching out" in style that received positive reviews from the likes of KQED.[10] Nakamura's third album is entitled Motion from the Music Picture and features songs from Dave Boyle's films Surrogate Valentine and Daylight Savings.
