NEVER KNOW NOTHIN

You don't look warm in that coat
You don't find solace when you smoke
Pretend it's summer, the evening awaits
Pretend that silence kills but it just invites the snakes

I feel love
But I feel lost
And I feel love
And I feel love

I won't let you go down softly
I won't let you break that drumbeat

I dont know what your name is
I only know the look on your face
Why don't you trust anyone? I just never know nothin
Dead dance spin frequently in space in time in love in everything

I feel love
But I feel lost
I feel love
But I feel lost
I feel love
But I feel lost
And I feel love
And I feel love

I won't let you go down softly
I won't let you break that drumbeat

Why do you always look so cold?
You would warm yourself up if you let yourself in-
Turn the damn heater on, you don't have a real friend
And the snow falls down
And the snow falls down
And the snow falls down
And the snow falls down

I feel love
But I feel lost
And I feel love
And I feel love

I won't let you go down softly
I won't let you break that drumbeat

LYRICS:

You picked the lock into the vault
Secretly
You seemed like a perfect stranger

Raindrops and roses
Left at the crime scene
For all the hearts just bleeding out

You came in with your mask on
You came in with your guns out
Now your face is everywhere and
You've got no place to run now

Slipped out in your getaway car
Drove away, yeah you drove so far
From the sirens, and the gold
On into the night

Meet back at the secret hideout
All the victims of your love just died out
The camera's got serenades for you, for you

You came in with your mask on
You came in with your guns out
Now your face is everywhere and
You've got no place  to run now

Raindrops and roses
Left at the crime scene
For all the hearts just bleeding out

Meet back at the secret hideout
All the victims of your love just died out
The camera's got serenades for you, for you

You came in with your mask on
You came in with your guns out
Now your face is everywhere and
You've got no place left to run now

Raindrops And Roses

You know how, after a really long relationship breaks up, you're afraid to start dating again just because it's been years since you've even had to put yourself on the market? That's what this is about.

Produced with pride in San Diego, CA, using Sonar 8pe, REFX Nexus2, uGo String Theory, various Antares VST's, and a 10 year old Ibanez acoustic guitar with a broken headstock.

THE VALLEY OF FEAR

Don't owe you anything but love, and babe, I told you that
Don't owe you anything but heart and soul, but you knew that
I stand beside you in the hallway and right through the door
Forget our love, my love, my love, forever ever more
Walk with you in lands that will just forget our name
I lose you in shifting sands now each and every day
Downhill, demons run, when good men go to war
I'll forget your love, your love, my love, forever ever more

The valley of fear encircles everyone, my love
It takes all your soul, leaves you loveless, and lost

Don't owe you explanations for the fun games I play
Don't owe you explanations when I am too tired to stay
I fell beside you like a villain in a picture book
I fell beside you like the petals of the rose you took
Stone graveyard smashes down, left beers on ice cold headstones now
I found a ghost and walked it home and then I drank it down
I felt so animal I pretended to breath again
The first time I saw you I thought that it would never end

The valley of fear encircles everyone, my love
It takes all your soul, leaves you loveless, and lost
The valley of fear encircles, succumbs to injuries of love
It takes all you've got, but you'll climb out of it, I'm told, so I'm told

You're untangled, see me strugglin out
Found you bein naughty, see you struggle out

Don't owe you flowers gold perfumes or even golden rings
That storm sailed away on boats floating on broken wings
Don't forget to love, I promise, it will never be the same
Don't forget to love, I promise, there are other things

The valley of fear encircles everyone, my love
It takes all your soul, leaves you loveless, and lost
The valley of fear encircles, succumbs to injuries of love
It takes all you've got, but you'll climb out of it, I'm told, so I'm told

The Valley Of Fear

This song took me 362 days to finish. You bastards better pretend to like it.

The End Of Summer

The Dimension Tide was a weapon in Godzilla vs Megaguirus that fires miniature black holes. Ideal strategy for killing monsters. Not a good strategy for the lovin'.

She'd never run away
She never used to hide
She never feared herself
Or what's in her mind
She always felt secure
She always felt divine
She could still feel love
She could never lie

He always ran away
He always blamed himself
It was the thing to do
Not good for his health
Did it for the scene
Did it for his queen
All the pieces fall
It is checkmate or else

They always met at night
These fairytale loves
They never once thought twice
That they almost won
They went to the park
Almost to the sun
They got their wings burnt off
They got their heads turnt up

They never tried to fight
They always chose to run
The path of a lover
Maybe an astronaut
Fall into nothingness
Or the rising sun
Showed them the universe
Bouquets are one and done

Cuz your love
Your love
Your love is all I want
Cuz your love
Your love
Your love is all I want
He couldn't wait to pull the moon down from the sky
She couldn't wait to pull the veil from over her eyes
They couldn't wait to bask under the sunlight
They could just run away, they could just run away

She was the one and only
Trigger for the gun
The nail to the file
The sunshine of the love
He was the emperor
Of the entire realm
Of the Dimension Tide
At least that's how he felt

They never tried to fight
They always chose to run
The path of a lover
Maybe an astronaut
Fall into nothingness
Or the rising sun
Showed them the universe
Bouquets are one and done

Dimension Tide

There is a much, much longer version of this song that won't fit on Soundcloud because it's 15 minutes long. This is the edited version but you get the gist! I honestly believe this is the best thing I've ever made.

Written recorded in 2013 at my apartment in Clairemont.

Say that the sky will fall for me
Say that all my sins are clear
I felt like love gave up on me
I felt like love just disappeared

Looks like the sky will fall for you
It looks at everything you do
On broken hands, I got to my feet
Burdened heavy, edge of defeat

The oceans of sunlight reflecting on your face
The oceans of light glow

Love deserves a second chance

Tribulations on the river
Trepadation everywhere you go
Love was not meant to be detained
Love was not meant to be let go

Fire in the woods renews but you
Burn brighter than a thousand stars
And a million voices scream out
Saying "go"

The oceans of sunlight reflecting on your face
The oceans of light glow

Love deserves a second chance

LYRICS:

Somewhere in the starlight
I think I lost focus
Forgotten other loves
In your cold grey eyes
Lay around forever
In the arms of loveless
Still holding firm
In the graces of silence

You fell like starshine
In a moment of darkness
Pardoned all they said about you
Knocked me out completely starless
Breathe seratonin
Over clouds of dust and
I'll hold you all night long

I said before you
Dry your eyes
Never knew a thing about love
Never really tried
Do you remember
How we used to dance?
Hearts full of starlight
We're hand in hand

All the mountains just fly by
Embraced like highrise whispers
See tendancies desist
Like they never even happened
Blue golden serenades
Play in the crashing at the shore
Sleek sand castles fall
To pieces in the roar

That's when you woke up right then
In the dark I don't know when
Just felt the warmest touch
Electrons fell into us
Seek melatonin
Over waves of clouds and
I'll hold you all night long

I said before you
Dry your eyes
Never knew a thing about love
Never really tried
Do you remember
How we used to dance?
Hearts full of starlight
We're hand in hand

Can't ever really know
If skies go on forever
In solemnity
And when the arms of death are
All over me
Will you be right there
All over me
And I will hold you all night long

Tread lightly through the storms
Find a way to conquer never
Happened upon the seeds
That grow the largest trees
Break off a branch my love
And hold it in your arms and
I'll hold you all night long

I said before you
Dry your eyes
Never knew a thing about love
Never really tried
Do you remember
How we used to dance?
Hearts full of starlight
We're hand in hand

Can't ever really know
If stars go on forever
In solemnity
And when the arms of death are
All over me
Will you be right there
All over me
And I will hold you all night long


Dry Your Eyes

A more cuddly version of Dry Your Eyes. Less percussion/fluff guitar, more piano. Perfect for drinking a beer in the sunrise.

Just in time for 2 months late for St Patricks Day, here's a song about someone with green eyes.

VENUS EYES OF JADE

And I'll fall down
The darkest deep
Into a locks of insecurity

Band plays on
I meet your eyes
Just a nest of clovers, dress in myrtle green

And I can paint the sky
An emerald hue

Onward night
Ground drenched in moon
Lost under sheets, we have come to bloom

Pale skin
The light caress
Like destiny, sparks will manifest

And I can paint the sky
An emerald hue
All colors around us
Blend into you

Just take the night
Your hand in mine
No more singing, I ain't got the time

The kindest hopes
Fluorescent dreams
These carbon hearts, as fragile as it seems

{chorus}
And I can paint the sky
And you will then
And Venus with eyes of jade
Tamed souls of men

Sometime then a week before
I was knockin at your door
A vision to behold
Dressed in black maroon
Sullen silence hottest mess
Look to borders way out west
Homesteading your tracts
And panning gold caress

Come and trip it as we go
Into that light fantastico
The whole world falls away
And we're left with only soul
The darkness only knows us though
A feathered graft of angel's woe's
The missing piece between us goes
Like electric ballroom lights

And the band plays on
It's quiet set
Just the sound of breathing and of breath

This lost arcade
The sweetest one
Chambers of hearts they might echo love

{chorus}

Venus Eyes Of Jade

I had to record 5 damn harmony tracks because my copy of Melodyne NO SPRECHEN ZIE ENGLISH ANYMORE. I kinda like the loose feel though.

+Stephanie Geranio from Cleanest Penus / Skinny Harp helped write the hooks :)

Homemade track featuring: an Esteban guitar (lol), Vengeance drum hit samples, NI Massive, REFX Nexus 2, my darling new Blue mic, and Cakewalk Sonar 8PE.

Words:

It's too late to go any further
Lights are off, doors are closed
I don't even know if you're home
I want you to see
Want you to see the world outside your window pane
I want you to see
Want you to see the world
Babylove I know it's late
But I know it's just your way
You don't want to go out alone
I can't much protest
The dark brings unneeded stress
Let's just avoid the cold
I've lived another life
Since I saw your eyes get wide
The second you give it a chance
You'll dance
[hook]
I threw rocks upon your windows late one night
While you were talking in your sleep
Pitch black silheuette
Where did you go then?
When I was calling out your name?
[hook]
Darlinglove I know you will
But I must ask you still
Can we hold on forever?
You say you're not good enough
Because who could ever love
What you pretend you are?
You're not that kind of girl
Who scares away the world
The second you give it a chance
You'll dance
[hook]
Sit around and tell me now right now now
It will rest so tell me right now now
Say what's on your mind right now now
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
It's the love you want right now now
I could paint your nails right now now
Protect you in the dark right now now
Say those words you want right now now
Love.
[hook]

Rocks

My remix of the house classic "Diamond Life" by Little Louie Vega and Jay 'Sinister' Sealee. This is my debut as a lead bassist! I hope you dig it - I had more fun than should be legal making this one.

Lil Louie Vega / Jay 'Sinister' Sealee ft Julie McKnight - Diamond Life (Robert Lucien remix)

I've been making music since 1999 MOTHAFUCKAAAAS and I'm still at it bitches. Over that time, it's been punk, emo, then house, trance, dubstep, and now it's just some big blob of all those things. Blob on my wayward son.

Don't pee yourself just yet - I'm currently working on a 20-song album that will sweep the oceans. 100% self-produced. 100% Rock. 100% Electronic. 100% Acoustic. 2% milk. Full release in summer 2015 maybe.

Also coming soon: collaboration with singer/songwriter Stephanie Gernanio ( http://www.youtube.com/user/stephaniegeranio ). We're looking at an EP in late 2015, with a music video too!





I have had quite a few projects over the years:

The Selfish Herd - My main band from 2011-2013. Acoustic pop  mixed with punk rock, psychadelic rock, and whatever else we feel like. Our guitarist was realllly old. http://soundcloud.com/selfishherd

Fairlady - Formerly known as Queens And Aces. My main band from 2010-2012. I play piccolo bass (it's like a regular bass but an octave higher, and SO not the same as a regular guitar) alongside such talents as drummer Lindsey Diot, vocalist Steve Curry, and lead guitarist Soheil Sassani.  We played  "Junk Rock" - Pop Punk, Jazz, Blues, and Funk in the same burrito. Facebook.com/QueensAndAces

Run Burrito Run - Collab with Eric Tidmore. I hope you like dubstep. We almost never make anything but it's ALWAYS good.

The Cruisers - Collab with vocalist Patrick McCue of The Selfish Herd. This is by far the best music I've ever made and we still occasionally collaborate.

Bob And Mike - Me and Mike Dunivan. It's all house. And only one of us drinks. http://soundcloud.com/bob-and-mike for more!

Hit me up at r.ciochon1@gmail.com if you want to collab or sign me or whatever.
