Stardust (ver. 2)

NOTHING LESS:

Take a minute to breathe
Take another,
just take your time,
take a seat.
Take a bite out of me.
Let's talk about it,
let's talk in circles,
let's see...
You know it's all in your head.
You know it's all just a waste of time,
go to bed.
Rest your body and soul.
Rest-assured you're still best-in-show,
don't you know?
Don't you get tired of this?
Don't you wish you were
better than you even know?
Take a second or so...
Take a step outside of yourself,
take a stroll.
You know you've lost all control...
You know you've lost all sense of time,
let it go.

It's on the tip of your tongue.
You're not sure how to react.
You know you've gotta move on.
You've gotta try to relax.

I feel a little distressed.
I feel distraught and distracted,
and quite under-dressed.
You put my love to the test.
Put yourself in my shoes,
you deserve nothing less.
You pick apart all the rest
Your heart feels like a ticking bomb
in your chest...
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do
when you're acting this way?
What did you expect to gain?
What empty promises lead you to bend
'til you break...

It's on the tips of your fingers.
It's in the air that you breathe.
It's just a part of the process.
You're not sure what to believe.

It's on the tip of your tongue.
You're not sure how to react.
You know you've gotta move on.
You gotta try to relax.

This is my song "Up To The Brim",
off my "C-SIDES" Compilation album.
I couldn't really tell you what it's about...
Basically just fun to sing.
It starts slow and then doubles-up the beat at the end.
Clever songwriting if I do say so myself...
I do say so...

CMNDR XNDR - Cloud (LIVE)

kind of a soundtrack/instrumental piece.

sounds a bit like a score to detective show or somethin'.

anyway, it's a FREE DOWNLOAD and it's basically yours if you want it. take it. run with it. it's an alright piece of music but it's not exactly representative of our style/sound/w.e. so we're gifting it to any creative people that would like to work with it.

humdrum: lacking excitement or variety; dull; monotonous.

Dead City

helowa Ft. CMNDR XNDR - DEAD CITY

Droning acoustic guitar alternating between E Major (Emaj) and A Suspended (Asus) chords in a slow 6/8 time signature while a slightly out-of-pitch singer harmonizes with layers of their own vocal, eventually demonstrating multiple octaves and a round.

LYRICS:

not sure whether or not

you should go see a doctor...

can't quite shake the thought

that you're not in control...

hard. to. quit. 

but they say:

"you've barely started...

start. to. split. 

i'll tough it out

in the cold.


it's hard to see you...

it's hard to see you like this...


Hitting all the walls

cuz you can't see a thing,

But you're running.

Eyes wide shut

so you're tripping 

over your feet again.

Just won't jump

cuz you can't admit 

that you're ready.

Just won't jump

cuz you're not quite sure

where to land.


hard. to. quit.

it's got ahold of me.

start. to. split. in two. 

into my head,

it's got ahold of me lately

hard. to. quit.


it's hard!

it's hard to see you...

it's hard to see you like this...


Hitting all the walls

cuz you can't see a thing,

But you're running.

Eyes wide shut

so you're tripping 

over your feet again.

Just won't jump

cuz you can't admit 

that you're ready.

Just won't jump

cuz you're not quite sure

where you'd land.

"Tobacco use is the leading modifiable risk factor for disease and death in Canada and more than 45,000 Canadian deaths are due to smoking tobacco each year. About 75% of lung cancer deaths in Canada are due to smoking tobacco.

Smoking tobacco increases the risk for lung cancer and at least 15 other cancers.

Smoking starts early. The overwhelming majority of smokers begin to smoke as teens or pre-teens. That’s why tobacco control policies that protect young people are so important."
