Happy Happening

“Sonderlust” is an album forged through heartbreak. After his two previous studio albums (”151”a & “Lighght”) and his “String Quartet Live!” release, Kishi Bashi was at a musical impasse. “As I sat down to write songs last summer, I went to all my usual conduits of creation: violin loops, guitar, piano, and I came up with the musical equivalent of fumes”, says K Ishibashi. “I tried to create orchestral pop recordings that I assumed were my forte, and in turn I found myself standing in front of a creative wall of frightening heights.”

At this very same moment of musical uncertainty, K’s personal life was falling apart... He and his wife of 13 years had briefly separated and were struggling to keep their marriage together. In his own words, “Touring and its accompanying lifestyle took a heavy toll on my soul and my family”. As an outlet, K submerged himself in a new musical direction. Sonderlust emerged as a direct result of this personal struggle taking place at an artistic cross- roads.

With the help of producer Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear), engineer Pat Dillet (Angelique Kidjo, David Byrne) and drummer Matt Chamberlain (Morrissey, Fiona Apple, of Montreal), Kishi Bashi has created his most personal and artistically adventurous work to date. “This album is straight from my soul. I questioned everything about what it means to love and desire. The differ- ence between loving someone and being in love.”

Lyrics:
I am wondering how you can communicate in the world
Sometimes we need to reach out, and talk to people not face to face

Is writing letters still the only way?
Sometimes it can take weeks, that’s not okay

I’m hoping to figure this out
I’m optimistic there’s a better way to interface

Can you talk to people around the world on the internet? 
I haven’t figured it out but I hope to soon
Can you speak to people outside your home on the internet?
If that’s true, it could prove to be extremely useful	

What if you could take text and transmit it digitally?
Someday maybe images and sound, but for right now, text is a fine goal

Sharing ideas takes a real long time
Was weeks ago when it was fresh on my mind
This kind of stuff keeps me awake at night
Seems like by now there’d be a cool device (that can do all these things and more)

I’ve been doing research nonstop
I’m optimistic there’s a better way to promulgate

Can you talk to people around the world on the internet? 
I haven’t figured it out but I hope to soon
Can you speak to people outside your home on the internet?
If that’s true, it could prove to be extremely useful	

Can you use your phone to do more things than merely talk?
If that’s true, it could prove to be extremely useful
Adding a calculator function would be so cool
Crunching numbers on the go would be amazing

The future’s looking super promising. But we’re not there yet, no way.

Can You Talk to People Around the World on the Internet?

Lyrics:

I got this big job contract, oh yes
“Can you make cool website for kids?”
“They gotta stick around, yeah, it’s gotta be bliss, 
Hey, I’m tellin’ you again, it’s a website for kids”

I told ‘em no problem, it’s okay, I rock
This kid-stuff is easy and I’m totally on top
Sea creatures, bubbles, colorful beepers
Monster trucks, fanny packs, epic cool preachers

Can I use unlicensed characters from films?
I’m just asking the question, I’m not saying I will
My ultimate goal, and I promise you this:
To make a great and functional website for kids

I’ll design with Skeuomorphs, and make it intuitive
I’ll show these kids who the design king truly is
I’m makin’ it happen, I’ve got so much to flaunt
But oh shit, I’m stuck, I can’t pick out a font

(Things are just not going my way, ugh)

Just tell me what font to pick when I’m making websites for kids
Please help, I’ve got a real big list, gotta narrow it down for this
In over my head a bit, but I’m gonna find the ultimate kid-friendly font
Wanna get the clicks, and make a site that appeals to kids

I take a break and I grab a snack,
I do some yoga, and draw a hot bath
When my head is clear, I’m back at the computer
Gotta make a cool site for these younger users

I’m scrolling through the list, but nothin’ fits
I assumed medieval fonts would be perfect for kids
Calibri don’t work, courier is shit
I add a surfboard, some chips and myriad dips

A bitcoin market, yeah, “great for kids!”
But what font do I use? I’m getting tired of dead ends
I add a cute soldier and a badass fish
I think, “solving this problem is my ultimate wish”

I gaze to the Lord of Fonts in the sky
Yes, I whisper a prayer, a desperate cry
Suddenly, I’m greeted, surprise, by a dancer,
I assume, “hey some wisdom, an arrival of answers”

I’m not gonna tell you what font to use 
You’d better get with the times, you’d better find what’s new
A design battle in a colosseum 
If you figure out my clues, then my friend, you’ve won

I end the call, my heart is racing
I’m punching my brain, it’s the answer I’m chasing
They say a dancer appearing is a real good omen
I’ve got it, eureka, I’ll use times new roman!

We love that font, we use it a bunch
We need it in our lives, we just can’t get enough
Excitement and delight when we’re visiting your
Website

Times New Roman is awesome

Just tell me what font to pick when I’m making websites for kids
Please help, I’ve got a real big list, gotta narrow it down for this
In over my head a bit, but I’m gonna find the ultimate kid-friendly font
Wanna get the clicks, and make a real nice site for kids

Just tell me what font to pick when I’m making websites for kids
Please help, I’ve got a real big list, gotta narrow it down for this
In over my head a bit, but I’m gonna find the ultimate kid-friendly font
Wanna get the clicks, and make a site that appeals to kids

I found the right font for kids

Just Tell Me What Font to Pick (When I'm Making Websites for Kids)

lyrics
2 pm at the grocery store
I'm in the aisle lookin' at some corn
I turn to my right
and what do I spy?
but a beautiful half of a face
I'm stuck here standing in place
imaginin' the beautiful bottom half of your face
with those eyebrows so plucked and refined now 
and guess what?
I love the size of the gap between your eyes
it's not too wide
and I imagine that the bottom half of your face is probably fine

whoa, I hope
you're givin me so much hope
whoa, whoa

The Beautiful Bottom Half of Your Face
