Light Up The Night

Sunset Overdrive theme song

28 Half Life - RvB Season 12 Soundtrack By Trocadero

This one is about a girl meeting a boy at a bar in Boston called Foley's. Vale Deah might be about a member of Trocadero, but since no one in the band could remember ever being at Foley's, it's probably not.  This was one of the early songs where Wendy really outdid herself on both creating a beautiful, creamy soundscape on the verses, as well as pushing the envelope (pun intended) of the Moog on her intense solo to close the tune.
You can hear Vale Deah over the credits of the RvB Season 1 DVD, as well as Bungie's ViDoc "Oh Brave New World." 

Lyrics:
I somehow knew you were there
Lookin' like you didn't care
I reached for the change in my pocket
I counted the change in my pocket

I wanted to buy you a beer 
I somehow knew you were near
The bartender said it's okay...

Vale Deah

This one is kind of a departure for us. While we've flirted with disco in the past, we've never really tried to make out with the genre. Don't worry, we won't do it again. This tune also distinguishes itself from our other material as having a guest musician: Guitarist Philadelphia Telepants recorded a beautiful, blistering solo to close this song.

Lyrics:
Gun metal green 
Prettiest that I've seen 
I've nothing to hide
And you've nothing to hide

I'd trust you at the wheel,
Even if we're going down
Our love is made of steel
Last us 'til the underground
Steady and surreal, 
In a world of lost and found

Took out the trash
Paid my bills all in cash
Nothing to hide
And it's summer outside

I'd trust you at the wheel,
Even if we're going down
Our love is made of steel
Last us til the underground
Steady and surreal, 
In a world of lost and found
Trust you at the wheel,
Know you'll keep us safe and sound

We don't need a key
We were already free
Cruising along
To a mexican song

Steady Ride (Gun Metal Green)

This tune has gone through a few versions.  The very first version, which we fondly call the 1.0 mix, had Nico playing drums recorded in stereo at our old, usually flooded rehearsal space.  Brandon re-recorded the drums for the "final version."  This tune has been revisited in the Bloody Mix, which played at the start of Season 2, and Return, which opens opens RvB Season 5 as well as Ghosts That Linger.

Blood Gulch Blues

Using ’persephone and demeter’ as a rock song lyric is unforgivable; somehow, the band forgave Nico. Brandon’s slinky bossa nova and Wendy’s Casiotone vibe sound save this one... this tune appears in Ep20 of RvB. That's right, Blue Command digs us!

Lyrics:
Where is the one
Who will mourn me when I'm gone
Who will pour water on my bed of dirt
Who will breathe fire on my neck at night

I heard someone say
There's a chance that I will meet her
I could be perse-
phone and she demeter
To pull me from the underground that I call home

Her name is no one...
She blinds me with her eyes 'cause she's
The one, the one
She lives somewhere not here...

My lovers are as smooth
As a politician's tongue
The more I look for goodness
The more that I find none

I heard someone say,
That she's honest and good...

Her name is no one no one no one...

I measure out my days
With sips of a Corona
I'm pretty sure she drives
An old fucked up Corolla
To pull me from the underground
That I call home

I've a funny feeling
There's no chance that I will meet her
so I'll measure out my nights
To my metronome's meter

No One

It's kind of a Boston hurrah type of song. Not really about booty calls, but more about leafing through your address book while doing shots. Dated, since no one has address books anymore, not ones made of paper anyway. Don't get too attached to the keyboard solo -- a different one is played at each performance.  You can hear a bit of (517) in that old RvB episode where, uh, the puma tries to kill sarge.

Lyrics:
213 girls talk too much
And 212 boys not enough
312s are very bold
Man 206 gets way too cold
Doing shots I'm all alone
I slur my words after the tone

And I drink and I call...

I can't stand to be alone...
Save me on the telephone.

419s they hate the phone
And 208s are never home
And all my lovers they have voice mail
They call me back, they give me hell!

And I drink and I call...

I've dialed the numbers, dialed them all
But nothing beats, a local call

617 boys, hmm, 617 girls, hmm
617 boys, hmm, 617 girls, hmm

(617)

Words can't even begin to describe the depth and power of Alan Moore's Watchmen and neither can music, but we had to try. This tune features original Trocaderist Susan Hsia, who co-wrote it. Sadly, she left the band for inconsequential things like Harvard, work, love and marriage.  Superhero appears in Episode 28 of RvB

Lyrics:
True American love,
Is like a green Coke bottle
They don't make it anymore
Part of me died back in '64...

I want to be a superhero
I've got a mask I've got a name
Your days calling me freak are numbered
Don't bother with surrender

We were so wrong
All dressed up, with somewhere to go
We wanted to do right, but
The costume fits just a little too tight...

I want to be a superhero
(I want to be a superwoman)

I don't have any super-powers
(I'll hang out with my super girlfriends)

I want to be a superhero, I don't need any super...
(Talk about our days)

I'm gonna be a superhero
I don't need (have) any super-powers

Your days calling me freak are numbered
(and pushing me around, well)

My broken heart's a super-power
(they're over, they're over, over)

Lyrics:
If I turn my eyes
From these cold blue skies
Won’t stay my worry
Won’t calm or quell

I can say my piece
I can barter my tale
Won’t ease my burden
But I might as well

There’s a heavy hand
Laid across this land
And it steers my journey
And it guides my pen

Press on, head high
‘Til the ink has run dry
‘Cause my story ain’t like
To wind home again


Well, I’ll beat my drum
‘Til my last day come
Or the mountain meets the sea

Yeah, the earth will shake
But the boughs she break
Won’t put no fear in me

‘Cause I see a land on high
So I pen my final line

Sky will shimmer and sun will shine
Where the water tastes like wine

Well, I’ve wandered ‘round
And there’s a code I found
Says a gentle manner
And a righteous way

This pair you’ll need
If you follow this creed
She’ll see you through
Until the judgement day

But there ain’t no law
Under tooth and claw
In the nest of vipers
Or the lion’s den

You can holler and wail
‘Til the echo goes stale 
Ain’t way nor manner
Gonna save you then

But I’ll beat my drum
‘Til my last day come
Or the mountain meets the sea

Yeah, the earth will shake
But the boughs she break
Won’t put no fear in me

‘Cause I see a land on high
So I pen my final line

Well, stories end and I’m closin’ mine
Where the water tastes like wine

So when the waters still
And you feel that thrill
For the open trail
Has slipped away

When the words won’t flow
When your fingers run slow
And the song you carry
Goes dull and gray.

Well, there’s a place I seen
Where the soul burns clean
And the verse it’s singin’
Rings pure and true

So cry no more
You just open that door
These shores of plenty
Gonna welcome you

And I beat my drum
‘Til my last day come
Or the mountain meets the sea

Yeah, the earth will shake
But the boughs she break
Won’t put no fear in me

‘Cause I see a land on high
So I pen my final line

I’ve said my fill and I’m feelin’ fine
Where the water tastes like wine

Steady Ride (Gun Metal Green)
