Yes, this is a reissue with minimal change (better dynamic range)from the original. Pulled it from SC to edit it down to 3:45 decided it was better this way. Released it on all platforms as it stands now.

Took a trip
Just for the Day
Took a trip
Just for the day
Took a trip
Just for the day
Took a trip
Just for the day

Took a trip
Just for the day
Had to go
Had to get away
Don't know
What I was hoping to find
Maybe the answer
Is in the back of my mind

Felt the need for speed so
I stepped on the gas
A million miles an hour
Didn't seem so fast
Failed to read the signs
I want past
Hit a big bump
Still I crashed
Wasn't my fault
It was so dark
Ran right into
A question mark

Took a trip
Just for the day
Got all fucked up
And lost my way
I wanted to cry but
I had no tears

In the bewilderness
I wandered for years
I wandered for years and years
Til I found my way back
Strange you might say
To be gone so long so long
To be gone so long so long
And be back
The same day

Took a trip
Just for the day
Took a trip
Just for the day
Took a trip
Just for the day
Took a trip
Just for the day

Took a few steps
Then I was in it
A girl pressed against me saying
You want to spin it
What we did
In this dimension
I won't go into the details
Things like that
I shouldn't even mention

Found myself on the boulevard
People buying people selling
Everyone was talking
Somebody was yelling
Once I assured myself
It wasn't me
I slipped into a coffee shop
And ordered some tea
I was informed there was no
Tea or coffee either
Only had some blood
Type A or B
No thanks I'll have neither
Went outside and thought
Quite strange you know
You know you know
All of that blood
And no type O

Saw a guy I know
They call him bug
Not a bad guy
I mean for a thug
He has some problems
Mentally
I saw him
He didn't see me
Think it's time to find my way back
It's time to find my way back
Was time to find my way back

Think it's time to find my way back
Just for the day
Just for the day
Had to go
Had to get away

I was blocked
Stuck in a rut
Thought it was time
To shake things up so
Took a trip
Just for the day
Took a trip
Just for the day

Took A Trip

This was the demo "Mama, They Killed Me" came from. Had to make changes to accommodate the lyrics needed for MTKM. Fairly happy with "Mama..." but you may agree a lot of the charm, the jam of this demo was lost, too. I rarely release tracks with no vocals. Thinking it might fit on my "All Fucked Up" album of quirky near misses from the Trendlaser vault. ["Everything you do misses, Trendlaser!"] Be that as it may...

REVIEW

Talented singer/songwriter multi instrumentalist. Now if you like your music to be different and very unique then this is for you, with a huge array of instruments & sound machines there is no stopping the flow of pure genius. almost psychedelic in nature with heavy influences from old school rock bands imagine crossing T-Rex, The Beatles, The Smashing Pumpkins, with Pink Floyd &  Jefferson Airplane then to top it all with some Nirvana. Which ever way you look at it there’s something for everyone and this guy will defiantly keep your senses entertained. Vocally fantastic, Lyrically very good and the music pure talented uniqueness.


People still ask me what or who is Trendlaser?  Is he you?  No, he isn't me. I'd never say the stuff he does. And even though we've been writing songs together from the beginning, I don't know much about him, except that some of his comments are a bit... Anyway, they're not malicious.  Now, he claims he was conceived in a test tube in some clandestine government lab and was raised in a bio-pod from which he escaped when he was seventeen. Doubt it, but, who the hell knows. The guy is incredibly honest about everything else. Love him/hate him--he doesn't care--but I do! I want us to sell a zillion records.--Danny Bulla 
Note: Trendlaser got locked out of his Facebook account 'til he produces a govt. ID w/pic and personal info.  He has refused. (I told him, "why don't you just show them your Driver's License and be done with it.  They just want to verify your real name." He replied, "real name? You mean 'DNAspecimen 5763-4D'?"
 Winds up in LA with a suitcase and a few bucks. Had some more life experiences, took acting lessons, fell in and out of love a couple times. Pulled his strat from under the bed where it had been untouched for about a year. Started writing songs, the best he'd ever done (in content and emotion),  and voila! TRENDLASER  LIVES! (Released Oblivion Jan. 2015.  Then, Sliding,  May 2015.  Both are available on amazon.com (Sliding available as a CD), itunes, xbox, google play, spotify, the new Apple stream and most online music stores.  Or get it at https://trendlaser.bandcamp.com   Be bold--get TRENDLASER and don't be surprised if it becomes your favorite set of tunes in your collection.-Danny Bulla cowriter w/Trendlaser of all Trendlaser songs.
