It would be cool to have more of this guitar solo bit in the song.

Try turning up the backing box. It would be nice to go out with a bit of a bang :-)

A playlist full of tracks created by the writers, musicians and producers of our small art project "TGS Records" - this is the February edition. A huge congratulations to everyone involved in this.

TGS Records - February 2021 Playlist

Tension in Suburbia

The path is one,  the path is set,
Clear and present, the Kiss of Death!

Kiss Of Death Surf

THE LAND OF DO - AS - YOU PLEASE (dronal Pelog Selisir 120 )

Never Going To Last (feat i l a n a)

A modular session recut in Ableton Live, mostly Braids, A-118 Noise and A-120 Filter with SQ-1 and Rene. I somehow heard Dracula in this material … and added samples from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOYfSEmULL8 which claims to be a 'public domain' trailer.

I am Dracula

This is the second of our five Christmas covers recorded collaboratively with the musicians of The MusiCollective (TMC) as part of this year’s festive song advent calendar. It’s finally December, so to crank up the Christmas mood we’re releasing a new track every Sunday leading up to Christmas, and the final one on Christmas Day. We got 23 people (including a father-daughter combo!) and 1 dog on this track spanning all levels of singing (barking) and recording experience, brought together by the powers of BandLab, relentless nudging (sorry!) and the mixing magic of our Christmas elves. The result was well worth the effort – well done and Merry Christmas, Everybody!

There's also a festive music video to go with this where you can see everyone's faces fly and bounce around on the screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOJsHDNdKxA&list=PLd8JtUs4dXc5DdwlHiBl_o_8I3ThtWeTn&index=2

The Vanishing

Dear Mr Moon (Feat.Jenni)

When they made you there was nothing in your eyes,
You contain it, with tomorrow in your lies.
Smiles to fake it, but you tell me you’re alright,
Can’t mistake it, I can see you’re in disguise. 

You know what flowers taste like here because you put them in the ground,
The clouds slow down to show me now, you shot me full of holes, you shot me full of holes. 

Alone, I’m walking, just my legs here in the sand.
Silver medal, a frustrated yesterday’s man. 
A joke, a warning, like a statue, fallen down. 
I can’t contain it, but you tell me that’s alright

You know what flowers taste like here because you put them in the ground,
The clouds slow down to show me now, you shot me full of holes, you shot me full of holes. 
My feet can’t touch the ground right now, with all the words that spin around, 
The clouds slow down to show me now, you shot me full of holes, you shot me full of holes.

What is it, this thing, to me?

Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
regret repeat, recycle again. 
Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
regret repeat, recycle again.

[Spoken word part]
Paralysed by our own insignificance, unable to move
We let our mind wander freely between the stars
In this seemingly endless paradox, a void that is full
As are our hearts and minds
Why are we here?
Who created who?
Or what? Or why?
Is the nebula a physical manifestation of a thought?
Do we explore outside of ourselves, or inside?
Trapped in a prison of trying to understand that which is beyond our grasp
Yet we reach for it still, teetering on the edge of the precipice
Existence is futile yet we still crave immortality
Searching for the truth of an answer to an unasked question
Is this a dreamless sleep, or a sleepless dream?

Then we see it, like a jewel, like a dream
A place so perfect for us, it makes us weep
Is this what all the searching has been for?
Did we somehow know it was here or did we just believe?
In this untouched paradise, so fresh and green
A world wrapped in cellophane for us to reveal
Yet somewhere in the glorious forests that cover the land
There is a clearing in the trees
Fallen statues lay upon the ground
They hide their crumbling faces shamefully in the dirt
Or stare lifelessly at the vastness above
Their limbs entangled by snaking vines
The moss grows like a tumour on their exposed bodies
As nature reclaims the world of the arrogant
Is this our past, or our future?

The 27th Prime Number

Inspired by a line from the Sylvia Plath poem ‘Mad Girl’s Love Song’:
“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead”

Lyrics:

You say your prayers and bow your head
I shut my eyes and the world drops dead
Is this what you wanted from me?

Now in the night, the foxes scream
Because they fear a bitch like me
And that's how it's going to be.

Now you know just how messed up I can be
Can't believe you used to scare the shit out of me
And if you dare to come close, I'll hurt you bad
I'll hurt you bad (x3)

You twist your words, so I twist your neck
I shut my eyes and the world drops dead
Is this what you wanted to see?

You cry your tears, fall to your knees
I make you wish we didn't meet
And that's how it's going to be.

Now you know just how fucked up I can be
Can't believe you used to scare the living shit out of me
And if you dare to come close
I'll hurt you bad
I'll drive you mad
Break both your hands
I'll make you sad

Mad Girl's Love Song [Explicit]

This song is about solitude and reminiscing of good days gone by in a western/coutnry feeling - bringing bit of Mark Knopfler style into it.
