Mutemath’s Debut Album
Lonely Nights Lately… At least tonight I have company of the Holy Spirit and am chilling with one of my top fave albums ever!
Mutemath’s self-titled masterpiece of musical beauty ?
What an album for a debut!
Rare, ethereal, raw, thought provoking and deep, experimental yet perfectly calculated, extraordinary musicianship and song craft, beautiful vocals, top production, spiritual, just everything literally. Use Headphones, Enjoy ~
And they can flawlessly perform it all live too, just amazing…

Brimful of Asha, Hope Through Music
Over 20 years ago now Tjinder Singh was waxing nostalgic for the music that gave him hope growing up.
Thus the hit song, Brimful of Asha, was born and brought to us through his band Cornershop.
Now one can look back with nostalgia for the days when they were looking back,
when their music about the music which helped them get along in turn also helped us to get along.
And we can all yearn throughout the ages for that bosom of a pillow,
for the freedom of those youthful days of coming of age when the music was our escape
though it be a 45, an obsolete CD, or those 90’s radio airwaves
Today, we still ‘don’t need no government warnings’.
We need our freedom. We need it just as much now as we did then.
So we shouldn’t only look back with wishful thinking,
we must play the music, and create the music… keep alive our music…
So I say, “Joie de vivre!”
Gimme a brimful of Asha,
those carefree tunes,
my cushion of hope to see me through!
[For you google searching for the meaning of this song, maybe it’s bothered you since you where in highschool even, lol, well, finally, today is your day – here you go: “What does the song ‘Brimful of Asher’ mean?“]

Where were you through our silence?
…I was on a heavenly ride …killing the past and coming back to life…
Lyrics:
Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else’s words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight… into the shining sun

Tomorrow’s Just An Excuse Away…
27 turns to 33 in 2190 days worth of excuses and you’ll make it home
where all will last forever, but only in your heart that she’ll break and you’ll break.
Along your journey you’ll learn that the mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death and continue making the effort to forgive and love with the help of the I of the Radio… The end will be the beginning where you’ll be able to show your crooked teeth as perfect pearls in a cheshire grin despite the ignorance and cares of this present world. No more cage, no more rage… You’ll make it… Home.
Love does last forever ~
Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can’t be late, supper’s waiting on the table
Tomorrow’s just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I’ll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I’ve journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I’m ready to return
I’ll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow’s just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you

Used To Love You
I was telling a new friend about my past relationship…
In an attempt to be hopeful, she says, “Well maybe it’s not too late to try again, ya never know what can happen.”
Perhaps she didn’t understand that my heart has moved on,
…or was it that she could see that I still care soo much??
I still wonder how my ex, Robin, feels about us… whenever she is honest.
Not just about the memories which could be both good and bad…
But what of our love?
Love that gave us great joy together.
Love that got us through tough times together.
Can’t say it wasn’t real.

Gwen keeps it real…
Awesome new single release even in light of the subject matter of
what her heart has been through. There is always something better
on the otherside of pain for amazing people like Gwen who turns her
sorrows into a beautiful expression of art with this song.

Joy Ride
https://youtu.be/9UR7CHUCexg?list=RD9UR7CHUCexg&rel=no
It’s getting close to sundown over the Sierra
Stranded on the freeway burning with desire
She was on the sidewalk looking for a night light
We talked about the real things
And drove into the fire
Headlights on the highway
The desert wind is howling
Rattlesnakes and romance
Is filling with the rain
Candy apple red dress
Bleeding when she kissed me
Heaven in a rag top
Take away my pain
[Chorus]
When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride
Move across the night
Like a separate wind
Pulled up to a motel
“Vacancy” was buzzing
Pink and dirty neon
Settle on the hood
Wrap your arms around me
Come a little closer
Stumble in the twilight
And fell onto the floor
Loving Mona Lisa
Dreaming of the free world
Lipstick on the nightstand
And demons at the door
[Chorus]
When your hopes and dreams
Lose the will to go
Joyride
Reaching for the light
Knowing we can’t win
There’s something in the distance
A glorious existence
A simple celebration
A place you’ve never been before
Tell me that you wanna go
Reaching for the light
Knowing we can’t win
When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride
All your hopes and dreams
All you need to know
Joyride
