Lovespirals Featured on Bite Sized Bonus

Leave a comment

Lovespirals are the featured Artist of the Day for Bite Sized Bonus #507. GD interviews Anji about the new album, Long Way From Home, performing in Second Life, and more in this “members only” podcast. It is free to subscribe as a member.

You know when you get a tune stuck in your head? It seems to stay there all day, no matter what else you listen to, the same tune resurfaces and drives you to the point of insanity. Well I am well past the point of having any sanity left so I need not fear, but yesterday I had not one but two songs buzzing around my vacuous cranium. So much so that to try and exercise them out of my head I open today’s show with them. May they invade your every waking hum for the rest of the day.

A very special album of the week, as not only do I get to play the tracks but I have a lovely conversation with half of Lovespirals, Anji Bee. Listen in as we talk about their new album, the duos past, and performing in Second Life. And just what is it that I say that makes Anji giggle? You will have to listen to find out.

Chillin' with Lovespirals: Live in Second Life

1 Comment

In this special episode, we present our Second Life acoustic performance from Oct. 27th. This was recorded directly from the mixer so there’s no ambient sounds like the water — or the laughing fish that resides near the stage we played. If you have no idea what I’m taking about, check out the video capture of “Walk Away” on YouTube. This is the first live set in support of Long Way From Home, and the first Lovespirals Second Life performance. By the way, the folks from PodShow Island said we had 760 listeners on their audio streams in addition to the full house watching in-game, pretty crazy! We hope you enjoy this stripped down set.

UPDATE: In addition to the live listeners, this episode has now had over 15,000 downloads/streams!

Setlist :

  1. “Our Nights” from Windblown Kiss (2002)
  2. “Walk Away” from Free & Easy (2005)
  3. “Treading the Water” from Long Way From Home (2007)
  4. “Empty Universe” from Long Way From Home (2007)
  5. “Abide” from Free & Easy (2005)
  6. “Lazy Love Days” from Long Way From Home (2007)
  7. “Caught in the Groove” from Long Way From Home (2007)
  8. “Once in a Blue Moon” from Long Way From Home (2007)
  9. “This Truth” from Long Way From Home (2007)
  10. “Motherless Child” from Long Way From Home (2007)

Long Way From Home

This Truth

We’ve been together a decade
Though its gone by in the blink of an eye
When I think back on our years together
The only thing I wonder is why
We didn’t begin our lives much sooner
From the first time we met
Well every moment we’ve shared is precious
And there’s nothin’ ’bout us that I regret, no

And she will never take away from that
No, there’s nothing she can say or do
To take away this truth
That you belong to me and I belong to you

This year it will be a decade
We’ve stood together hand in hand
Telling each other everything
Trusting the other will understand
We have never been lead astray
I don’t think we ever will
There doesn’t seem to be a need
That our deep love can’t fulfill

And she will never take away from that
No, there’s nothing she can say or do
To take away this truth
That you belong to me and I belong to you
Yeah, you belong to me and I, and I belong to you
You belong to me and I belong to you

Long Way From Home

Sundrenched

Sundrenched afternoon
Waiting for a word from you
Dust motes cloud my eyes
Diamond tears I cry

Sparkling light refracting off my tears
Caught up I’m worn out and burned out by fears
Why must I always assume the worst
Heart beating so fast I fear it may burst

Sunwarmed cobblestone
Walking all alone
Dark thoughts should melt away
In the light of day

Sparkling light refracting off my tears
Caught up I’m worn out and burned out by fears
Why must I always assume the worst
Heart beating so fast I fear it may burst

La la la la la…
