Show Some Restraint - Acoustic

This song... well, I can't really describe it! I think I'll let it speak for itself... =)

Every blessing...

P.x

As It Is In Heaven...

once again, much love to @big_jackson

Edamame x Big Jackson - Holdin Me

Bright glow,
through a window of a restaurant I know,
see a couple deep in conversation

She sees,
He is clearly not the gentleman that he
is trying to appear to be 

That light,
Revealing now that it is still a sin to lie,
casts a shadow of a wave goodbye

Arms weak,
He snuffs the flame like it's the candle's fault that he
couldn't act the man he wished to be

Cuz I pretend to get it,
but it don't feel real to me now
Oh no, I begin to let it,
and they'll say that was how
he became a memento  

Birds fly,
Don't need the wind to roam the endless, cloudy sky
While a kite sits on the ground nearby

I'll go,
I know my camera will not show the world around me brightly,
Can I remember it alright? 


Memento

dreams don't come true

New track experimenting with the violin and piano with delay effects and some nice thick bass sounds.

Back in your box

highways broke down in the desert night
some kinda birds blocking out the light
labored breathing of the radio
turn it off and turn around slow.

and the life that we let get away, in the space between holidays.
and the times that we had, giving gifts for the things we just can't say.

highways broke down, baby don't show fear.
we all rue this year
as we count our crimes
to forgive each other one more time...

and the life that we left, going cold, going dark
like your place in my heart.
but your poor damaged hands
wanna scream in your face, but my voice just breaks.
and the life that we let get away in the space between holidays.
and the times that we had, giving gifts for the things we just can't say.

Holidays

This is a 1:1 mashup - the two songs (Oppa Gangnam Style by PSY and Space Jam by Quad City DJs) have the exact same BPM and key, so I had NO CHOICE but to put on the finishing touches.

UPDATE - Thanks to a kind, kind donation from Nikola Ranguelov (http://soundcloud.com/nikola-ranguelov#), the download cap has now been boosted to 1000!  Get the HQ download here while you can!

UPDATE UPDATE - Aaaand now the new download cap is reached.  Alternate download links have been posted in the comments, I'll check later to see that they're legit.

UPDATE 12/9 - Wow, okay.  Over a million hits now.  Front page of r/music.  That's cool and stuff.
Once again, for everyone posting about how this could be better and how it sounds like a mess, I seriously can't stress enough that I did not put much effort into this, I originally intended it to be a demo.  So yeah, if I had the master tracks, I would've done some cool stuff so the vocals wouldn't be overlapping like they are.

Justifying shittiness aside, though, I'm really happy that so many of you like it anyway!  If someone wants to try their hand at remaking it better, be my guest, I'll probably listen and enjoy it.  Cheers, Internet!

Oppa Spacejam Style

Buy it here for a buck: http://jakelauer.bandcamp.com/track/calexico


It’s a cover, gone
Back window, gone
The tone of a ride

It’s way too far,
A ways on, now
Let it go

Print checks to go out on a high note,
Paper scraps for the drive
If your mother’s worried anyway,
It’s just another sigh

Calexico, Calexico
End and beginning
Don’t know where to go from here
I’m just standing on the edge of a paper thin fence
And I’m never coming down again

Pack away all my
Memories of any days
I am gonna fall sometime
I only don’t know which way

Calexico
