WITHIN ME - lyrics

Memories sank in the past
I see them back right from the start
Was it beautiful  – beautiful
Was it too cynical - clinical
Was it me? me?

Memories until they last
See them all in a photograph
Was it beautiful – beautiful
Was it too cynical - critical
Was it me? me?

But some I have left still inside me
And in the steam that’s all around
They’re all the shadows that led me in a haze

High wind blowing head on screaming
Choosing me back from my dreams  
And from the memories that will remain within

Within me - me

The reason why we covered this song is not very romantic.  Greg thought our publishers had asked him to cover the song… but it turned out that he was mistaken.  That song is not published my EMI… oh well.  I think it’s a pretty sweet version.

Brothertiger Reimagines Iconic Albums of The Eighties 
Tears For Fears’ Songs From The Big Chair In A New Album 
(Reimagine Music)

In the mid 1980s new wave era, with feel good singles, such as “Love Shack” and “Footloose,” at the top of the charts, confessional songs of disheartening childhood experiences was the last thing one might expect from an aspiring young band. Yet it is newcomers Tears For Fears’ dark remembrances, supported by infectious melodies, that many rock historians now cite as having struck a chord with the young recession era generation causing their debut “The Hurting” to go to number one in the UK and the top ten in the US. 

With all the pressure a success of this kind can bring, including a mass of fans anxiously awaiting new material, their next recording sessions could have easily been a play it safe affair. Instead the band pushed themselves ever further artistically, with arrangements of a much greater level of complexity and musicianship. While the lyrics of much of what would become their second album, Songs From The Big Chair, would remain introspective, it may have been the more mature and universal, coming of age themes that contributed to the album having an even wider appeal than the first one. 

In any case, with yet another string of hits from Big Chair -- including "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," "Shout," "Head over Heels," and "I Believe” -- Tears For Fears would find themselves not only standing head to head with the best acts of the day, it earned them the status of having one of the most successful albums of the Eighties. Today these songs remain permanent fixtures on classic radio, and Big Chair is now considered among the most important albums of the decade. 

Brothertiger Plays Songs From The Big Chair pays tribute Tears For Fears’ influential gem by giving it a modern take. Brothertiger is the alias of electronically-fueled John Jagos, a musician and producer based in Brooklyn, NY. Jagos’ passion for making music started out of his college dorm room at Ohio University in 2010. The Vision Tunnels EP was his first proper release, and soon after, he signed with Mush Records to release 3 subsequent albums.  

"Covering this album was gratifying, challenging, and truly inspiring” John Lagos says of the process. “I never thought I'd ever get a chance to be able to cover an entire album, let alone an album I truly care about. I feel so fortunate to be able to cover one of my favorite records in my own style and my own approach."

Brothertiger’s style complies with the vision Tears For Fears had 32 years ago, and by working with Reimagine, Brothertiger Plays Songs From The Big Chair helps to shed new life and give new meaning to an iconic piece of music that should never be forgotten.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World

In the days before, I don’t know if I understood
When you said what you said, when I first saw you
In the John Peel bar that night 

In the days before, I knew I loved you, as soon as you spoke 
And there was nothing we needed to say
That night, at the Camden Palace St Valentine’s 

And we will not grow old; and we will not diminish 
And we will not be aged by the corrosive agents of time
We will not be stained by the filth of degradation
Nor crushed by the humiliation of indignity   
And we will endure, and we will be constant
And we will carousel in the wheel of time
And we will swim in the eroticism of beauty
And we will lie in the cradle of our ancestors  
And there we will continuously be reborn
Until the last time,
When we will be seen, to have survived.

The John Peel Bar

TATTOO

something's troubling me
the game I play is over
keeping up the charade
won’t help me here

senseless needing to pray
for all the things I cherish
no use having to say
why I'm here

all the pain it cost me
never told the meaning why
nothing washed the ink spots
from my skin

I’ve gotta wait tomorrow
where everyday no sorrow, but color
I want a skin to live in

where everyday the sun shines and you make me feel it's all worthwhile

LOST, NOW FOUND

just give it all up and surrender
I have quit everything myself
accept your reality
you may need some help to get you through this transition

California’s waiting for another sound
destination once was lost, now found

cross the golden bridge
happiness is flying kites
I’ll be there to blow away
all the clouds - the crowds

just give it all up and surrender
many times I’ve dreamt about our fate
hearing your violet voice
It’s the help I need to get me through my new composition

wake up
emerge from the haze / a whole world you’ll find
listen
let me sing you a phrase / a new state of mind

California’s waiting for another sound
destination once was lost, now found
feel the ocean breeze
taking in the shim’ring sea
I can see a ray of sun
through your hair - we’re there

The challenge is to write a song that is happy but never uses the words "love" or "like". Everywhere the word "love" or "like" should go .... it is just skipped ....that's all.

Consider joining Songwriters in the Kitchen it's a positive place for creative people. You'll write music that you may never have even thought of.

Be it blue skies, be it green hills

About oceans, about sunsets,

Don't Say the "L" Word

Lyrics:

I never told you that I write songs
cause if I had
this could have been really awkward for me
and pretty inconvenient for you
and your girlfriend too

Black coffee, sugar and a slice of lemon
I love it cause you loved it too
Black coffee, sugar and a slice of lemon
It’s nice cause you liked it too

And now it’s bitter
now it’s cold
I’ve known it from the start I’d be the one
to leave this table empty handed
feeling defeated

But oh I’ve tried to control myself
but I can’t cause my feelings are all over the place
so I have tried to control my weight instead
and now I just keep losing it all

Black coffee, sugar and a slice of lemon
I love it cause you loved it too
Black coffee, sugar and a slice of lemon
It’s really nice cause you liked it too

I know it’s not a big deal for you
cause we’re just playing words with friends now
and you’re safe
cause you live so far away, down under
in a different time-zone 
I know, but for me the day isn’t over

Black coffee, sugar and a slice of lemon
I love it cause you loved it too
Black coffee, sugar and a slice of lemon
It’s really nice cause you liked it too

Would have been nice if you had liked me too

Black Coffee, Sugar and a Slice of Lemon

You're my necessary source of strength to carry on 
So long
Are my two hands ready to build our home steady on 
Solid ground

I'll never want more than our extraordinary life
All right
And as we grow older life gets sweet but shorter my
Time flies

On this sleepy train we're splashing through this rainy scene
Of sliver green
But despite the weather we can't wish a better time
Just you and I

And when it comes to dreamers there's no better schemers than
You and I
And we'll be amazed when all these stars fall into place
Through the sky

Despite the Weather

Extraordinary Life

So this song may be a little bit silly but it was to created to counteract all of our songs about darkness and despair. It is from our "Mythology" album under the November Love name.
This song has become very popular at our live performances so we decided it deserved a new recording and a new production.
The drums sound electronic but are played by a real drummer.

Lyrics:

Losing all control when I think about
Seeing you today and I think about
Forgetting everything while I think about
Those three words you say

Thinking about tonight and I really love
Spontaneity and I really love
When you take my hand and I really love
The way you look at me

I'm here with you and you holding me
This is the happiest that I can ever be
I'm here with you and you holding me
This is the happiest that I can ever be
This is the happiest that I can ever be

Dancin’ to the beat and it makes me feel
Your hands about my waist and it makes me feel
(Love) like I’ve never known and I know I feel (it)
In a special place
 
Never felt this way and it is so real
(This) love intensity and it is so real
Thought that I can’t say but it is so real (the)
Way you set me free

I'm here with you and you holding me
This is the happiest that I can ever be
I'm here with you and you holding me
This is the happiest that I can ever be
This is the happiest that I can ever be

When the day to day gets bad
When my life seems only sad
What can there be to look forward to ………ooh …………ooh
 
I'm here with you and you holding me
This is the happiest that I can ever be
I'm here with you and you holding me
This is the happiest that I can ever be
This is the happiest that I can ever be
This is the happiest that I can ever be
 
Never felt this way and it is so real
(This) love intensity and it is so real
Thought that I can’t say but it is so real (the)
Way you set me free

Lying here with you and there’s nothing else
In this world but us and there’s nothing else
I could ever do and there’s nothing else
Left to feel but love

Bill's note:  So have you ever wanted to go back to the past knowing what you do now? Back to the future. Well, that's what we did here. I've learned a lot about production over the last few years, Melissa has developed a seriously unique and unapologetic vocal style and ... we've purchased some better equipment as well. This song is silly but people keep requesting it... what can you do?

I'm really proud of what Melissa and Will can do and I've figured out some mix techniques that highlight their awesomeness a little more.

If you've actually read this far then God bless you! You are very important to us! It is truly amazing to be a small family in the woods of New England but now with friends all over the world. Thank you!

Happiest I'll Ever Be 2.0

Wrapped up in the sun
Waving from this sinking ship
So bored with having fun
The captain makes a mess of it
He tosses a loaded gun
To the proletariat
Donald duck duck goose step and run
Now you got the hang of it 
Where have all the hippies gone?
Counterfeits and hypocrites
Now we all fall down
How could this ever happen?

This is not my scene
Keep it nice and clean
Just a broken dream
I once believed 
Life is for the young
Spring is for the sprung
Put it on your tongue
And you will see

A tingle in my toes, feel it in my bones
Smell it in my nose, I know
Our plans won’t be changing  
Waving from this sinking ship
Feel it in my chest, deep within my breast 
What a fuckin’ mess, I guess 
We’re damned, not worth saving 
Waving from this stinking ship

Full sail ahead
We’re at the edge of Mercator maps
Better learn to tread 
Beyond the point of turning back
Someone found the captain dead  
Its seems he’s had a heart attack
And we all fall down
How could this ever

A tingle in my toes, feel it in my bones
Smell it in my nose, I know
Our plans won’t be changing  
Waving from this sinking ship

Feel it in my chest, deep within my breast 
What a fuckin’ mess, I guess 
We’re damned, not worth saving 
Waving from this stinking ship

Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur

Feel it in My Bones

lyrics:

pack your bags old lover
'cause I've been thinking of ya
as I fall through the hours
and I slip through the days
now the days are not ours
I waste away

but if I just keep on singing
maybe I can sing my heart out
and I just keep on writing
maybe I can write you out of me
but how long will it be until you leave?

butterflies still flutter in my stomach
every time I see your name
oh, what a shame
'cause now there's someone here waiting for me
and it's hard to explain
that it's you, only you I need

but if I just keep on singing
maybe I can sing my heart out
and I just keep on writing
maybe I can write you out of me
but how long will it be
there's someone waiting for me
so how long will it be
until you leave?

Write You Out
