The Lot Radio mix recorded in NYC ~

The Lot Radio Mix • NYC • July '22

Song 3/4
This one seemed to really resonate with people, both lyrically and musically. I wrote it back in the day about the difficulties of making friends/small talk. A part of me still resonates with fragments of it.
Lyrics:
Hi There we’ve met
what do I possibly do next?
there’s this protocol to apparently give you control
over my mind
Hi there again
Do you even remember me?
Do I do the same? Forget your name and play this game.
In order to… go from strangers to something
I don’t know what it, is I need to do
I know what I am never supposed to
But I don’t know any other way
If I ask you, you would run away
Are you afraid of me? Like I’m afraid of you
(From strangers to something) x4
Hi there my friend
Have I said enough to call you that?
Do we move past that or go right back cease what we've got?
Where was my fault?
hi there good bye
I guess I tried
I don’t know what it, is I need to do
I know what I am never supposed to
But I don’t know any other way
If I ask you, you would run away
Are you afraid of me? Like I’m afraid of you
I’m afraid of you
Are you scared of me?
I’m afraid of everything but it’s nothing to you
But its petrifying me
and its all in my head
How can I get it out
And not blow this all away
But its everything to me
And its nothing to you
I’m afraid of you, are you scared of me
Im afraid of everything but its all in my head
I’m afraid of you, im scared for you
Im afraid of everything but its all in my head

Hatching A  Nightmare Knowing Unhappiness Stays

From Strangers To Something

This is the acoustic rendition of Cinderblocks. I think i may prefer it to the original even, it hits differently. I also tuned down to D Standard for it and found it much easier to sing and a little darker. Perhaps the album version will also be transposed.

Everything done by me. Writing, recording & producing.

Lyrics
Chorus 1
Tell me what you want to say, roll your eyes and clench you lips
Cinderblocking neuron waves, everyday a newer state
with nothing to look forward too, and everyday succumbing to
your personal sarcophagus, your very own apocalypse 

Verse A 1
Is this really all you want to say?
That I shouldn't worry and you'll be okay
But I see you here living in despair

Verse B 1

so...
it's hard to say that now
it's wrong to say that to you

Numbness in my fingers, numbness is what i am
The pain of feeling nothing, is worse than imagined

Chorus 2 - Instrumental

 Verse A 2 (6/4 Chorus melody)

Tell me what you want to say
Tell me before its to late
Tell me if you want to stay
 
Verse B 2
or die...

(Cause i dont know whats worse than this) – filtered distant

The numbness in my body overtakes, the numbness is no longer what i hate

TBD

End (more positive outlook)
show me how

you roll your eyes and grin your lips
ignoring everything that's wrong and everything that's yet to come
with so much to look forward to and everything succumbing to
your personal sarcophagus, your very own apocalypse

tell me what you want to say...
tell me before its too late...
tell me everything you want, and everything you would have done
inspire us to be our best, as you perish from the rest

Have you ever wondered what Tiny Moving Parts would sound like if they went shoegaze? Or whether they'd be called "Tiny Moving Valentine" or "My Bloody Parts"

I know it keeps me up at night.
While we many never know what the Minnesota family band would call this hypothetical musical concoction, I decided to create a demo of what that could sound like.

Here is "Sublime Alibi" aka my first attempt in Mathgaze
Enjoy! Also learning to play and sing this simultaneously while bouncing took way more time to get just passable than I thought.

Lyrics (which i sort of just made up while recording):

Take me back 
To the first time you used that line
Your alibi's sublime
An expertise that's so refined

Can you count to ten?
But you gotta start at yellow
That really makes no sense
Like everything you prove to me

Mask your true perception
Bypass this arrangement 
Delay this estrangement 
Social Misconception

Retrospection
