PERSONAL ADD
My initiative to Stand Up Radio comes: 
a) from my own wish to express myself musically with lyrics that put people to think further about the happenings in the world, in stead off only reading the regular news and believing this is the only thing needed to be known. 
b) from my wish to join musicians with a similar want and to form a musical alternative news channel together for everybody to listen to.

The Smaller Deaths

soon the generals will have their way 
and the killing will begin again 
the modern kind 
distant and televised 

how strange it is 
to think of movies 
how strange it is 
instead of slaughter 
when the images come 

soon politicians will have their say 
and the speeches will begin again 
the words we've heard 
so many times now 

bombs falling flashes 
missiles skimming suburbs 
so much like our own 
we don't even notice 
we have grown so fat with violence 
we need our murder supersized 
before we can feel it 

how strange it is 
to think of movies 
how strange it is 
instead of slaughter 
when the images come 

when the smaller deaths 
the ones on the ground 
the cameras won't see 
will never be counted 

when the smaller deaths 
the ones on the ground 
the cameras won't see 
will never be counted 

when the smaller deaths 
the ones on the ground 
the cameras won't see...

The Smaller Deaths

America

You know you are flying high
But who knows the reason why?
You're the good thing in many lies
You're the bad thing in secret files
Got the finger right
on your trigger

America
Your pace is high
America
Your shadows are dark
but then your lights start to shine

Wherever you are, wherever you are

You're the right friend guiding our fights
You're the bad guy leading our rights
Point the finger now
Your way

America
Your pace is high
America
Your shadows are long
But then your lights start to shine

You're the saint in saving our lives
You're the devil in crossing our lines

We are all the same
Until we take the blame

Wherever we are, wherever we are

"Wear out your Wheels"
American Toys EP 2016

Get on the track and go
down these endless roads
In the middle of the city working for your fools gold

Another day
Another race
Another fire in your face
Watch it burn,
feel it burn
until it all fades away.

You've got feelings in your heart that you don't know how to fake.
You've got visions in your head that you don't know how to shake.

Wear out your wheels
Wear out your wheels
Wear out your wheels moving too fast.

Get on the track and go
down this endless road
In the middle of the city working for your fools gold

Another day
Another race
Another penny on the plate

You better pick up the pace if you want to get out of this place.

You've got feelings in your heart that you don't know how to fake.
You've got visions in your head that you don't know how to shake.
You've got words in your mouth but you don't know what to say but you feel it all anyway.

Wear out your wheels
Wear out your wheels
Wear out your wheels moving too fast.

In the middle of the city working for your fools gold

Wear out your wheels
Wear out your wheels
Wear out your wheels moving too fast.

Get off the track
You're moving much too fast

You better get off the track
You're moving much too fast

Get off the track
You're moving much too fast

Written, produced, performed, and recorded by: Nick Thompson

Drums: Johnny Jyemo










Wear Out Your Wheels

The first single from Saul Williams' upcoming album
MARTYR LOSER KING
Coming 2016

LYRICS:
Running down a dark street. App that got a flashlight. 
Nike swoosh on bare feet. Whitney Houston's crack pipe. 
The Greatest Love Of All. Watch me rise to watch me fall. 
Contemplating. Rent is late in houses that I can't afford.

Showed my papes at heaven's gates they asked me for my Visa. 
Lived a life without no hate so tell me what you need, Sir? 
Question your authority. Genocide and poverty. 
Treaties don't negate the fact you're dealing stolen property.

Hacker. I'm a hacker. I'm a hacker in your hard-drive. 
Hundred-thousand dollar Tesla ripping thru your hard-drive. 
Oh Jesus, pull the chord. Seat-belts, what you standing for? 
Buckle up. Let's knuckle up. And tell Mohammed bring his sword.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Vigil in the middle of your occupied locations 
One that burns for haters; one that burns for Haitians.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Burning in the middle of your mosques and in your chapel.
Licking that forbidden fruit through bitten glowing apples.

Factories in China. Coltan from the Congo. 
Smuggled to Burundi. Hidden in a bongo. 
We beat a mighty drum. Changes go before they come. 
Guns and ammunition pay tuition for the desperate young.

Hacker. I'm a hacker. I'm a hacker in your hard-drive. 
Hate ain't no security. I'm hacking thru your hard-drive. 
Information Highway. Tunnel-vision Highway. Exit 17 
Yo bring them mthrfckrs my way!

Virus. I'm a virus. I'm a virus in your system. 
Fuck your history teacher, bitch. I've never been a victim. 
I'm just a witness. Hitler can come get this. 
Rabbis in Ramallah throwin' burqas on these bitches.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Vigil in the middle of your occupied location: 
one that burns for haters; one that burns for Haitians.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Burning in the middle of your synagogues and chapels.
Licking that forbidden fruit through bitten glowing apples.

I'm Goin To Live the Life I Sing About in My Song

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.

Say That

Welcome to Mike Spring’s corner of in-your-face songwriting

This page is inspired by the charm of pure songwriting. It is about the creating of a song, improvised music and raw demo’s. Naked not afraid ;)

‘Sketches from Holland’ is created by MIKE SPRING. This page holds raw recordings of original songs played live solely or invented in the heat of the moment. Tracks may be mono and not mixed. 
Once my inspiration is lit into a song idea a musical train starts rolling off hill. Often I finish a piece. Sometimes it stays a sketch and is forgotten about many years.

Thank you for listening!
