Lonely Sunset

Leave a comment

We could be together

Walking these lonely streets alone
Can’t find nobody to call my own
Thinking of you, wondering where you’ve gone
And wishing we could be together

Memories fading, still they linger on
I’m watching the sunset, dreaming of the dawn
Well, our love has passed, though not forgotten
I’m wishing we could be together

We could be together

Call my own (x5)

Everywhere I go I still search for you
Haunting all the places that we once knew
Even though its hard, its all I can do
Never find another love that’s half as true

We could be together

“Lonely Sunset” Single & Music Video

Leave a comment

The perfect end of summer soundtrack, “Lonely Sunset” is a chill house song featuring gorgeously ethereal vocals and bittersweet melodies. It’s been a while since Anji and Ryan released a dance track but this ones worth the wait! 

Anji’s plaintive lyrics of lost love were penned and recorded a decade ago and might have made an amazing addition to the 2014 Anji Bee album the duo released as a side project. The late night laid back grooves of this new recording are reminiscent of Bee’s “Got All I Need” and “Try To Forget,” but with an added sheen of sophistication in the production. 

Lovespirals  have long straddled the line between dream pop and electronica, but this new track brings both worlds together in a glorious fusion. After the throwback retro shoegaze of the band’s last single, “The Call,” this new single is likely to surprise — but hopefully delight — Lovespirals listeners.  

Lovespirals “Lonely Sunset” single is out now on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and YouTube. Please stream, like, share, and add to your playlists to help get the word out!

“The Call” Single Out Now

Leave a comment

After the deceptively light musical offerings of the 3-song ‘Smile – Single’ Lovespirals return with a darker hued single. “The Call” shares some of the retro-90’s shoe gazer/dream pop vibes of their 2018 album, ‘Life Goes On,’ highlighting the lush guitar work bandleader, Ryan Lum, has long been known for. His soaring solo could easily have been plucked from his 1994 Love Spirals Downwards album, ‘Ardor.’ Hypnotic bass and upbeat drums drive this melancholic song with an unexpected groove, while Anji Bee’s signature blend of earthy low voice and soaring ethereal harmonies lift your soul.

Answer the call… it’s a sweet surprise.

Released July 1, 2022 on all digital platforms including Bandcamp, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Mp3, Tidal, Pandora and Apple Music.

The Call

Leave a comment

Your timing is no good

I’m not free today

But if I could you know I would

Go outside to play

You’re calling out to me

I see it in your eyes

Full of curiosity

Such a sweet surprise

But I’m chasing you away

Well what else can I do

‘Cause if you stay another day

I might fall in love with you

You’re calling out to me

I see it in your eyes

Full of curiosity

Such a sweet surprise

So I’m chasing you away

What else can I do

‘Cause if you stay another day

I might fall in love with you

I can’t answer your call

Can’t afford to take the fall

Down Low – Lyrics

Leave a comment

Drop me a line

Send me a sign

A little something

Let me know that you’re alive

But keep it on the down low

(Down low)

I said keep it on the down low

(Down low)

Just keep it on the down low 

(Down low)

Gotta keep it on the down low

(Down low)

Write me a text

Baby I’m vexed

I don’t know what’s going on now

But what can I expect said we’d

Keep it on the down low

(Down low)

We said keep it on the down low

(Down low)

Just keep it on the down low 

(Down low)

Gotta keep it on the down low

(Down low)

Keep it on the down low

(Down low)

I said keep it on the down low

(Down low)

Just keep it on the down low 

(Down low)

Gotta keep it on the down low

(Down low)

On the down low

(Down low)

(Down low)

Why Not Today – Lyrics

Leave a comment

When does the happiness begin

When does the love come flooding in

When does the pain fade away 

Will it be tomorrow 

Why not today

Why not today

When will my grey skies turn to blue

When will I take on a different hue

When will the sun come out to play again

Will it be tomorrow 

Why not today

Why not today

I’ve waited patiently (patiently)

But I have yet to see (yet to see)

Joy wing its way to me

So I’m left wondering 

When does the pain fade away

Will it be tomorrow

Why not today

Why not today

Smile – Lyrics

I been having a hard time lately

If I’m honest it’s been quite awhile

But I keep it mostly to myself, yeah

I just nod and smile

My smile may be pretty but it’s

All filled with lies

And you if look closely, see it

Doesn’t reach my eyes

Ha ahh ahh oh ooh smile

Hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh smile

I been really going thru it lately

I wasn’t honest, I was in denial

Should’ve asked for help but instead

I just nod and smile

My smile may be pretty but it’s

All filled with lies

And you if look closely, see it

Doesn’t reach my eyes

Smile

Ha ahh ahh oh ooh smile

Hoo ooh ooh hoo ooh ooh ooh

“Spinning Circles” Official Music Video

Leave a comment

An official music video for the song “Spinning Circles” from our ‘Life Goes On’ album is out now on the Lovespirals YouTube channel.

Over the past 2-3 years I’ve been filming various scenes I thought would work well with the lyrical concept and I finally took the time to put together a fun music video that contrasts black and white and vivid colorful scenes. The parasol scenes were shot on Laguna Beach during the performance of ‘The Shoreline Project’ by artist Elizabeth Turk. We had randomly been on site just as 1000 people converged for this performance piece, and it was quite surreal! The carousel and teacups ride scenes were both shot at Disneyland, and the stupa scene was shot at Maui Dharma Center in Paia. 

Hope this video makes you smile!
