A dream-pop / rock song about growing up

LYRICS:

We carried the flame
We waited our whole lives to light the colorful night
And we narrowly came so close to swords and knives
To fight the gullible fight

You copied a name you overheard in class
You thought that it made you sound cool
And you acted the same to everyone who asked your reasons for acting the fool

We cut our teeth in no one’s school, they never got to pull us under
We follow people’s orders who we idolize until we grow older

No One's School

Original composition... Alejandro Gonzalez M.

An Optimist In A Hurricane is the song of Rebecca’s that first caught Andrea’s imagination, when he heard it in 2020 …

… that ignited the rocket ship that has carried the two ever since. <3

Try to imagine the scene.. the hurricane winds blow, danger is near.. but if you hang on your spirit will prevail!! 

This song is from the album Aggregate which can be found in its entirety on Bandcamp, as well as other major online retailers. Go to https://8000miles.bandcamp.com to check it out and follow 8000 Miles on Bandcamp to get first notices of new releases.

An Optimist In A Hurricane

My first cover I’ve ever attempted but a song I’ve really admired for a few years now. Nothing But Thieves are one of my favourite bands and definitely my favourite of the 2010s! 

I Decided to put an electronic spin on it later on and also the first time I’ve recorded acoustic guitar as well. I hope you enjoy!

PROGRAM NOTES (SHORT VERSION FOR PROGRAMS)
(Long version: http://robertpaterson.com/looney-tunes)
In Looney Tunes, each movement uses a specific well-known cartoon character as a musical influence and point of departure. The first movement, Taz, is inspired by the Tasmanian Devil character and plays upon all of Taz’s traits with loud, dissonant outbursts, gyrating transitions, quiet, reflective sections and a few references to his attraction to music. The second movement, Foghorn Leghorn, is inspired by this character’s loud, vocal disposition. The ‘Foghorn’ part of his name makes me think of real foghorns, and a foghorn-like interval begins this low-sounding, baritone sax-heavy movement. The third movement, Tweety Bird, provides contrast with a somewhat high tessitura and includes prominent parts for piccolo, violin, xylophone and alto sax. Although the entire movement only abstractly references the animated Tweety, I try to make all of the high instruments sound bird-like from beginning to end. Two of my favorite cartoon characters of all time are the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, so it seemed appropriate to end the work with a fastRoad Runner movement. I have always been fascinated by the seemingly infinite array of ACME inventions the Coyote uses to try and capture the Road Runner, and the last movement reflects this and incorporates a number of exotic, gizmo-like sounds and instruments.

The second track of our acoustic project. Becomes less acoustic towards the end!

LYRICS:

Walking on coals to keep your feet warm
Burning the soles and changing your form
The end never comes ‘til your fingers and thumbs are bleeding and raw and your spirit is torn

Fighting the cold and working the land
It’s taking its toll when you’re sowing in sand
Kneel down in the field and accept that you yield to the futile battles you wage with the shield in your hand

We’ll find you where you fell and we can bring you around
We’ll hide you so that no one can tell and you can never be found
You can sleep for a thousand years because we won’t make a sound

Won't Make A Sound

A few tweaks to the original to give it even more bite for inclusion in my album.
