A sample of the type of music played by 'Two in the Bar'

2 in the Bar Sample

SHIFTED

“Love is Done” is an upbeat track that exudes garage excellence blended with psych vibes intimately. B-side "Isos na nai arga", features an organ-laden version with Greek lyrics

Love is done

Isos na nai arga

I'm From The Echo Dept

You know I miss the music of the Mamas & the Papas
And the holes in my blue jeans.
‘Cause who else but a flower child could listen to Donovan and
Tell you what it means?
The Byrds, they took you flying, took you 8 miles high,
Then they’d lightly settle down.
And there’s no satisfying the Rolling Stones and their 19th Nervous Breakdown.

The Beatles tried to tell you all you needed was love if you’d
Just peace a chance.
And all across the country they were feeling so good when they
Hit the streets to dance.
Listen to the message of the Lovin’ Spoonful, ‘cause you know it is for free.
What a day for a daydream, and a daydream’s still good enough for me.

The music’s gonna take you where you’ve never been before.
Gonna take you to the edge and open up the door.

INSTRUMENTAL

Crosby, Still, Nash and Young were teaching all their children you should
Know your parents well.
And Dylan had us seeing all the multiples of reasons we should
Ring the freedom bell.
The Band was hypnotizing,Joni Mitchell fantasizing
‘bout the Woodstock of our youth.
If the radio would play it, they felt the need to say it,
‘cause we all should hear the truth.

The music’s gonna take you where you’ve never been before.
Gonna take you to the edge and open up the door.

My friends, they tell me, “Scott, you’re living in the past
And there’s just no future there.
Nostalgia is fine, but it will never last, music won’t take you anywhere.
I look at them with a tear in my eye, and I tell them they are wrong.
I’ve been twice around the world and I never left - never left my song.
Whoa, listen to the music. All the time
