LOST PLACES

-DASTERN FEAT. TANTE MELI-
I HAVE TO WALK ALONG HERE ALONE

ALL LOST PLACES HERE

ALL LOST PLACES IN MY LIFE

ALL LOST PLACES EVERYWHERE I’M GOING

SINCE YOU’RE GONE 

THERE’S NOTHING 

LIKE IT WAS BEFORE

SINCE YOU’RE GONE

IT’S HOPELESS

YOU ONLY LEFT ME EMPTY PLACES

I’M ON MY OWN ON EMPTY PLACES

beercan

And if I can't have everything
From the four walls I'm trapped in
I'll take a drag and everything seems to get better

Cos I'm lost, when I'm found
With this beercan in my hand
And I know I'm gonna live forever

And if I can't have everything
From the four walls I'm trapped in
I'll take a drag and nothing will never get better

Cos I'm lost, when I'm found
With this beercan in my hand
And I know I'm gonna live forever

I wish I knew a thousand songs
So I could tell you what to say
But no one ever listens to me play

Cos I'm lost, when I'm found
With this beercan in my hand
And I know I'm gonna live forever...just to piss me off.

BEERCAN By Dastern Feat. Tante Meli

beercan

Third and final part of the @midipunk trilogy.

Day of the MidiPunk

Video here: http://youtu.be/sgLa4UalZjs
A new Sunday jam. 
Percussion is a combination of tupperware, rice, wok and rolling pin.
Sample from the bizarre 1962 film, The Brain that Wouldn't Die. Includes the fantastic line, "I am only a head and you are whatever you are".

The Brain that Wouldn't Die [now has video]

A collaboration with the mighty https://soundcloud.com/midipunk
He bangs the drums - thanks man.

Not sure I like the vocals but I pissed about for far too long with this track...so this is how it is.

The House of Special Purpose - daStern and MidiPunk

You Came

Forever

my everything girl

This one started as an experiment in making some homemade percussion sounds. I lost control and it just went wherever it decided to go...which strangely was some sort of disco finish. I have to admit, most of the time, I have no idea what I'm doing with music.

If anyone is interested, the percussion was created by sampling keys, a chewing gum pot, hitting a glass and thumping my desk.

Forgetting fear you gauge the feelings of the past
Then trade your life for everything but you would break for anything

Nostalgia is a comfort when you don't know where to go
It's broken, wasted and it's deafening, obscuring all that is true meaning

When you take another life to live your own
You can't believe that it is happening, although you know the feeling well

And you say "Find time"
"Why don't you make time?"
"When will you find time?"
"Why don't you make time for me?"

You can't take my heart and everything that you need to feel
You'll find out that it's not anything that you thought it was
The embers die before you reach the place that you once knew
I told you that it always ends like this - nothing is forever

Nothing is Forever

it's late in the evening
i really must go
i'm feeling much better
but i still have to go

my words disappoint you
the silence does too
but you don't believe me
when i say that it's you

i'm paying for something that i didn't do
it happened before me and it happened to you
i'm trying my best dear i'm trying for you
i know i'm not easy but neither are you

i'm a tainted lover
i'm a tainted love
a tainted lover
a tainted love
