The Lyrics 

Staring at my phone for too long
I know now that the signals still strong
with the flashing light in my line of sight
I know that somethings wrong
and I've been staring at my phone for too long

ohh maybe baby, I've got just what you need
and all i need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah I should have known
there was nothin I could do
yeah I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I know deep inside
I should have known

feeling like I've said too much
her coldness feels like more than just a touch
well in my mind, all these grand designs
have crumbled from the nudge
and i'm feeling like I've said too much

don't worry baby, I've got just what you need
and all I need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah i should have known
there was nothin i could do
I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I don't like to lose
next time i'll know

I Should've Known

-----------------------------------------
Now the mask you're wearing
Is stoney and staring
Lines and tears, Age and fears
Growing old, Passions cold

Now the mask you're wearing
Is stoney and staring
Lines and tears, Age and fears
Growing old, Passions cold

There's nothing in your eyes
That marks where you cried
All is blank, All is blind
Dead inside, The inner mind

There's nothing in your eyes
That marks where you cried
All is blank, All is blind
Dead inside,   The inner mind

Is it me, Is it you
Behind this mask, I ask
Is it me; Is it you
Who wears another face

Is it me, Is it you
Behind this mask, I ask
I ask...
I ask...

Lyrics by  Chris Mosdell
-----------------------------------------

From original text by Hiroshi (EXCERPT) :

The original song was first produced in 1978(by Ryuichi Sakamoto) for a TV commercial for Seiko quartz, and for the album 'Solid State Survivor' in 1980 with lyrics penned by Chris Mosdell (Vocoder part), while previously performed several times during 1978-79.

The song was later revised by Michael Jackson, who added new lyrics and had intended to include it into his album ‘Thriller’(despite the approval of Sakamoto and Mosdell, it was eventually removed from his album due to the legal issues with their label), and many cover versions were also made since then by other artists- such as Greg Phillinganes (a kind of Reprise of M.Jackson's), Eric Clapton (Rock arrangement), Self-cover by Sakamoto featuring Bernard Fowler, Ronnie Drayton & others (Alternative Rock version against Clapton's, published in a live album ‘Media Bahn Live’ in 1986), etc.

It’s a kind of mixture of the YMO's original and other covers that have those verses of “new lyrics”- for which I arranged and played the guitar phrases instead of vocals. Original’s vocoder part is kept as Øystein made it possible!

Behind The Mask (YMO)- Extended Version w/ Guitar Impros - Aerogene070 & Øystein Hagen

Album:    Anabasis

     A fairly straight rhythm based on five beats to the bar.   If I can be said to have an autobiographical song, this is it.

Lyrics:
	is it half empty?  or is it half full?
	is it a bear?  or is it a bull?
	the metaphor snaps like a shot in the dark
	I thought it would be just a walk in the park

:	walk in the park,    walk in the park,   walk in the park,
	I thought it would be just a walk in the park

	once in my youth I lived in the light
	the doors were all open, the future looked bright
	the goals came so easy, the message was clear
	I thought it would all be skittles and beer

	in the park,   in the park,   in the park
	I thought it would be just a walk in the park



	are you touched by god’s presence? or haunted by ghosts?
	did your engine stop firing and leave you to coast?
	but whether it’s dead or just needing a spark
	you will agree it’s no walk in the park

	as I grow older, battered and scarred,
	my life just a puddle spilled in a bar,
	I prowl through the hours like a thief in the night
	always in shadow, just out of sight

	in the park,   in the park,   in the park
	I thought it would be just a walk in the park

:	walk in the park,    walk in the park,   walk in the park,
	I thought it would be just a walk in the park

Such A Simple Thing

Lost you

Lyrics:

*INTRO*
-someday, someday. someday, someday (x2)

*CHORUS*
-SOMEDAY, someday, someday (x2)

*V1*
-driving down, the 95, hot summer day in mid july
 tell myself, you'll be just fine, things will probably be different this time
 push my hate, against a fence, pressing the pain so that it might make sense
 if i give you truth then tell no lies (x2)

*CHROUS*

*BRIDGE*
-quicksand, im sinking. my love's erasing (x2)

*V2*
-breaking, my heart down, just listen closely, closely
 i give all i know how, it's still not enough now is it
 i swear i'll fucking drown, helpless and oh so lonely
 i lie on cold hard ground, let me feel just for a minute

*OUTRO*
-(same as intro)

*BRIDGE*

If I Give You Truth, Then Tell No Lies

Keyla - Crazy Over You

Monique Barry Finds the Dual Nature of the Musical Single

Good things come in pairs, the saying goes. Never one to do the expected, singer-songwriter Monique Barry gives us her musical take on this notion by releasing two new songs as one single.

The dual release begins with Gone, Monique’s exploration of emotional loss and betrayal experienced for the first time. “It’s cold since you are gone,” she sings, her lyrics gently rising through an otherworldly soundscape as she describes the disillusionment when a beloved figure is finally seen with all flaws and failings revealed. As she confronts the journey from idealistic loyalty to emotional defeat, she sings of being “lost in freedom’s arms,” a description that might apply to both the betrayer and herself, but with entirely different meanings. While the song progresses, her voice, floating through echoing instrumental layers, takes on the blending qualities of wounded chanting and a faraway adult lullaby.

Searching through the journey from idealism to disappointment, Monique takes the themes and emotional dynamics of 'Gone' into the musical hooks and catchy sonic quirks of the second single 'Eagles'. Starting with the multi-atmospheric weave of instrumental rustlings, vibrations, and nudging drumbeats, Monique’s voice soars above it all, taking its own form of flight. Musical ripples, splinters, and crashes, all of it both jittery and relaxing, build as Monique’s singing ascends in pitch, becoming airborne and birdlike, taking the listener along on her creative search of freedom and defeat.

Ultimately the two songs flow into each other, both thematically and musically, each leading the other into a unified vision. While providing vocals and performing on keyboards, Monique is joined by Michael Wojewoda on drums, as well as coproducing and mixing; Marc Merilainen on guitar; and Alisdair Jones on bass.

Rise Up  - 8$Rum feat.RoachByte

Fade Into Water is a concept soundtrack based on a non-discovered talent whose musical heroes have passed. The undiscovered talent is jealous that they have been recognized and are now gone and starving for more of their works.

Ghost Gives Up

Wondering

We do this for fun, new hard rock classics. :) Also visit @papalirocker for my singback songs and covers. I write lyrics, make melodies and harmonies for vocals and record it in my small home studio.
