Name: The Law by Japan Man
Duration: 3 min 26 s
Description: The Latest Japan, Man track. A song about The Laws that keep us.

noctiflorous (demo)

It’s funny how all the demos we’ve accumulated can change over time ... Sometimes the early versions & rough mixes that stick out the most now didn’t when we were making them, as is the case with ‘Habits’. 

We originally bounced this mix when we were still working on overdubs, but then we lost the project file after Chris spilled a bunch of coffee on his laptop.  We rediscovered this version while sifting through demos one night at our house a couple months later.

If we could reopen that file, I’m sure we’d find some shitty preset sounds, a guitar amp simulator on the vocal track, and tons of crude, approximate EQ and compression.   If we still had the Logic file, we'd probably want to change and rerecord a bunch of stuff.  In a way we’re thankful that this particular track is frozen in time, because if we had a chance to dive back into it, I’m not sure we’d be able to get into the right headspace to improve on it.  

After the coffee spill we started backing up all our files to de cloud, and we'll probably continue to exhaustively revise our current projects, but just this once it’s kinda nice to release something we never got the chance to split hairs over. 

“Habits" is the first song we’ve released where Chris (keyboard + guitar) sings lead vocals.  It's the first song off Loosies, a collection of demo versions & B-sides from the sessions for the Baby Blue Suede EP that came out last year.  Loosies is out 2/16, along with a deluxe cassette from Invertebrate Music.

Underline: 
make another move, the time is on our side
Yours and mine
strange enough the war is only half on time

Where do we go from here? She said
It’s breaking my heart
Try as I may to hold together
But it’s falling apart

Best believe
Company is only ever two or three
Water down
Water down your wine, oh darling
I’ll show you how

Where do we go from here? She said
It’s breaking my heart
Try as I may to hold together
But it’s falling apart

Where do we go from here? She said
It’s breaking my heart
Try as I may to hold together
But it’s falling apart

From Here

The Law

Lyrics

You had me
In your palm
I'd do anything 
But now I'm done 

What happened to us
Broke in two 
You turned away
As problems grew 

All my life
I've served you
Now I'm out of time 

All of my life
I've toed the line
I'm overworked 
You think I'm fine 

What happened to him
Understaffed 
A noisy boy 
In a poisoned class

In Your Palm

Leave

Summer's Almost Over

lyrics:

the animal spirits got you right where they want u
calling me up again
and no-one said it was gonna be easy
to let go of who u knew

catch me dodging feels like
ray man wearing ray bans
I need to be alone
won't catch me in the daylight
cuz I don't like to go outside
I need to be alone

u can never get back baby
no no no
get back to where you belong
and no matter how much u want to
don't u know 
I need to be alone

u can't get back there
and I don't really care at all
no I don't really care

get back baby
