Two songs made in collaboration between Grand Rapids, Michigan artists ttypes and Biiko, and with .Shi contributing additional instrumentation to 'Françoise's Glow'

Francoise's Glow

A New Home In The Sun

This song was inspired the Ursula K. LeGuin novel ‘City of Illusions’ and a break up.

The Shing

The Temple Of Mt. Everest

This song is adapted from Beck's masterful 'NYC 73 78' rework of Philip Glass. My vocals are all original except for the '73 78' part at the end (which is all harmonized with Beck's hook). 

You can find Beck's original remix here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaKrnjY8LiY

73 78 Honey (rework Of Philip Glass - Beck)

This single combines updated & mastered versions of two songs from my 2013 album, 'Music for Public Access Television.' Influences: Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Vangelis, various minimalist electronic New Wave, and minimalist 70s Krautrock.

The compositions are essentially the same, but the arrangement, texture choice, and overall mix differentiate them as truly new versions of these songs.

Lyrics: 
Couldn't believe that I had to go
You wanted me but you would not
Building a life
I couldn't let you alone 
Yip yip yip yip yip
I plant some trees down into the grove
You pick the leaves and you burn them
Building a lie
It was the wrong season grown
Yip yip yip yip yip

You don't tell me to go
I know when I do know
I don't know when you lie
I don't know when you right at all, at all

How life is full of clowns
With their smiles upside down
We won but lost the fight
Now violence is alright downtown
What now?

We climb with ease up the red brick row
To see the sky like a curtain
Liftin a glow
And spit at people below
Yip yip yip yip yip yip

I had a reason, a firework show
Love has no season it
Bursts into life
Gives you no choice to be sold
Yip yip yip yip yip yip

Well you better believe that I had to go

You don't tell me to go
I know when I do know
I don't know when you lied
I don't know when you right at all
At all

Cause love is not a game
To later on explain
I loved you til I died
I loved you til my bones were smoke
We hope you choice

And if you didn't believe that I had to go
Well you better believe that I took it slow
To decide

Lyrics:
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh
You left your boot print on our door
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh
Then your fist came back for more
We found you bleeding on the floor and that’s for sure.
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh
We got calls from your girlfriend
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh

She’d been wondering where you’d been
Said check the papers and the pen and there’s your man
It’s such a small town
Everybody found out
And we recognized your face
It’s such a small town
Had to throw your ass out
Cause we recognized your face

Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh
It wasn’t always like that night
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh
Before you got too ripe
Many times we chewed the fat and that’s for sure
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh
the last time you checked in
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh
you were gunning for a binge
and you were stopped short by a hinge-- it did you in

On day I was driving
I saw your sign
I pulled on over and gave you a ride
You said it “Hey it’s time man”
And sung me a rhyme
Your gaze was a thousand miles wide

It’s such a small town

Everybody found out
That I’d recognized your face
It’s such a small town
Everybody found out
That you’d finally found your
That you’d finally found your
That you’d finally found your place
