and for once i felt like it would be alright

Steam Powered Giraffe's very first album was originally released in 2009. By 2011, founding member Erin Burke (who played the robot Upgrade) had left the band to pursue other opportunities. Since the band only had one album at the time, during their 2011-2012 performances at the San Diego Zoo, the band decided to change this album to feature just the current robot lineup. This included new cover art, the removal of Erin Burke's vocals, and the replacement of the song "I Am Not Alone" with the song "Ice Cream Parade". 

This version features the original release of Album One as it was in 2009, with the robot Upgrade, her vocals, and her song "I Am Not Alone". It also includes the track Ice Cream Parade from the 2011 release as a bonus.

Patricia Taxxon - Don't Forget, I Can Write Soft Silly Music Too

'Drink Alone' is a tale of love gone wrong... of loyalty tested... of a relationship so spectacularly destructive that the only sensible course is to curl up inside a bottle until it's all over. We've all got a friend who's been there - this song is dedicated to a friend who took what didn't kill him, and used it to make himself stronger.

The first single from our EP 'Mass Trespass', 'Drink Alone' is available now on iTunes.

Lyrics: 
Mot juste, the perfect word, it’s one of those tricks I never learned
Like Charleston, bridge, bodyshots or Go
So let there be no pontification here
The man who owns the dice owns every throw

No, nobody else can make you realise
The naked truth slow-dancing right before your eyes

Knowing you like I do 
You’re thinking this time you’re through
One thing I know is true
Sometimes you got to drink alone

When something’s got to give, when you’re tearing yourself apart
A little silence can be hard to come by
Some find theirs through temperance and austerity
Brother, that’s not the only way to fly

They say "Demon drink makes every man his fool"
But if nobody winds up getting hurt and it works for you then [Hey!] that’s cool

Knowing you like I do 
You’re thinking this time you’re through
You beat me black I’ll beat you blue
Sometimes you got to drink alone

Seeing what you seen, and 
Being who you been
Go lick those wounds all nice and clean
Sometimes you got to drink alone

Knowing you like I do 
I know that this time you’re through
She may have been your Betty Blue
Sometimes you got to drink alone

Seeing what you seen, and 
Being who you been
I can’t say I disagree...
Sometimes you got to drink alone
[Lyrics (C) Andy Logan]

Ringlefinch - Drink Alone

I always hoped to meet
Somebody like you
Talking to you felt...
Just so easy
Sharing wild dreams
Felt so free
Our conversation left
Such a wonderful feeling
Imagine it's enough
Simply being

Colors of the sun shone brighter that day
Said goodbye, I had to fly away

Headed Home

Lyrics:
I know that you′re there
But far enough away
That if I yelled into the air
My voice would never carry past
The distance barrier
So I sit here wide awake alone
I wish you were here
Close enough to me
That if you whispered in my ear
Your words would carry messages
So quite and sincere
We'd find away to hide away alone

Oh... Another hill to climb
Another day goes by
Away from you
Oh... Lament the passing time
Across the aching sky
I can′t find you

Search for me up there
Hiding from the bitterness
And floating in despair
A single silver cord extending
Miles in the air
Tethered to the broken world below
The path ahead is clear
Train your mind and learn to make
Your body disappear
Join me at the boundary of
The upper atmosphere
We'll cut the cord and leave the world below

Oh... Another hill to climb
Another day goes by
Away from you
Oh... Lament the passing time
Across the aching sky
I can't find you

Oh... To scale the mountainside
So many years gone by
And still I wonder
Oh... To look you in the eyes
Across the aching sky
I can′t find you

I Can't Find You(feat. Grace Bergere)

04. Whitey - Count Those Freaks

It's the feeling when you are overwhelmed by too much of everything. Things feel all weird and panicky, gotta find a way to zoom out and chill.

Calm Down

Kid Krow

(Can We Be Friends?)

Magic 8, By Bug Hunter. This is the 2nd bonus track on their 3rd album, Bigger Than Myself

8th grade and crying at the counter
4 a.m. and drowning in her work
3 textbooks spread out around her
1 overwhelmed little girl

Her dad walks into the kitchen
so hard to see her so stressed
Still dark but he's there to listen
she's scared of failing her tests

He says:
"My little girl before you worry at all
have you asked the Magic 8 ball?”

And with a shake, shake of the Magic 8
her stress melts away with a smile on her face
With a lifetime of love, and a small dash of fate

A dad takes care of his girl

A dad takes care of his girl

22 and panicked in her bedroom
20 outfits thrown on the bed
She's wanted this job since she was a kid and
1 interview is all that’s left

He has such faith in his daughter
he needs her to just believe
and just like any good father
he's got a trick up his sleeve

He says: 
"My little girl before you worry at all
have you asked the Magic 8 ball?”

And with a shake, shake of the Magic 8
her stress melts away with a smile on her face
With a lifetime of love, and a small dash of fate

A dad takes care of his girl

A dad takes care of his girl

"I was naturally full of anticipation when Cody invited me to lunch last October
because he had something he... 'wanted to discuss.’
When he finally quit beating around the bush and asked me
if he had my blessing to marry Carolyn,
without hesitation I consulted my mini Magic 8 Ball…
which I never leave home without…”

Last year I'm sweatin' in a bench seat
I've got a speech well-rehearsed
I'm here to ask for his blessing
The father of that brave little nurse

So I start while I've still got courage
"Your daughter has become my best friend
and though I'm scared, I'm so nervous
I plan to ask for her hand”

He looks at me and with no words at all
he pulls out his Magic 8 ball…

And with a shake, shake of the Magic 8
my stress melts away and my fears are replaced
I can't see the words, but he says "It looks great…”

And with a shake, shake of the Magic 8
he says that I'm family and this is my place
With a lifetime ahead, and a small dash of fate

I will take care of your girl

I will take care of your girl
