To celebrate the start of a new year, Anji put together a music video for the title track of the latest Lovespirals album, “Life Goes On,” featuring some of the peaceful moments filmed over the past 12 tumultuous months. Here’s hoping this new year is better than the last!

Projekt Records founder, Sam Rosenthal of Black Tape for a Blue Girl, just released a new album to commemorate what would have been Timothy Leary’s 100th birthday this month. Entitled Tim, where are you now?, this collaborative album features many special guests, including Lovespirals, Steve Roach, Erik Wøllo, Mike VanPortfleet of Lycia, Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls, Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth, Reggie Watts, and more. Ryan and Anji contributed to “Starseed,” alongside Forrest Fang and Rosenthal, as well as “PSY PHI love means High Fidelity” alongside Byron Metcalf, Martin Bowes, and Rosenthal. These songs highlight musical sides of Lovespirals you may not have seen before. The CD is currently in preorder on Bandcamp, where you can alternatively purchase a digital download on the “Name Your Price” deal (meaning you can pay $0 if you want…), and it’s also available to stream on all digital platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube.
Lovespirals’ soulful new single, “Why Not Today?” is now available on Bandcamp! The download of our single ALSO includes this brand new music video, shot at gorgeous Crystal Cove beach here in Southern California. With extremely chill vibes and super smooth production, “Why Not Today?” pulls from our r&b/soul side with a little jazz and blues twist. Melancholic, dreamy, and filled with soft yearning for a better time and place, the accompanying video is a lovely reminder of the healing power of nature, even in this time of human disconnection and unease. We hope this single will bring you some joy!
The Chillin’ with Lovespirals band podcast makes it’s return! We have so much news to share this episode, including our new album charting pretty heavily, which is super fun. We get into some background on our song, “Are You Lonely,” Ryan gets into the inspiration for the overall sound of ‘Life Goes On,’ Anji digs up some unreleased video, plus more news and conversation. We really hope you dig hearing/watching us talk about music because we have lots more stories to share about the making of the album and what inspires us to create!

Continue reading Chillin’ with Lovespirals Podcast #86: New Album Charting & MoreThe popular music discovery site, Pandora, has added our new album, ‘Life Goes On,’ to its music library. This is a nice surprise, as they had previously rejected our 2010 album, ‘Future Past,’ returning our package unopened, with a cryptic note that they already had too much of “this genre” in their collection. We were pretty shocked that they felt there were too many albums which combined the sound of female fronted trip hop and chillout with the sounds of guitar-heavy classic rock ala Pink Floyd, but hey, maybe we were just ignorant of how mainstream our music was at the time? (Yeah, right…) Anyway, we’re more than happy to let bygones be bygones, as the service has seen fit to add the latest Lovespirals album to their library, which also includes our 3 albums prior to ‘Future Past,’ as well as a 2012 remix EP. Who knows? Maybe one day they’ll even add in that missing 4th album to have the complete set.

My memories
Are all that I have
Our love was too beautiful
For it to last
So memories
Are all that remain
And here I cling to them
Going insane
Oh memories
Leave me alone
You bring no comfort to
This heart of stone
My memories
Can’t turn back time
And return me to
When you were mine
Memories (sweet memories)
Are crowding my mind (crowding my mind)
I cannot shake, cannot shake
These ties that bind
Memories
Sweet memories
Memories, memories
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Stoking the embers
Fanning the fire
My heart’s aflame
And you’re to blame
You filled me with desire
Burning away
All that I knew
And turned to ash
My happy past
Destroyed a thing so true
Oh take pity on my foolish heart
Please do, do, do
Oh take pity on my simple soul
Boo hoo hoo hoo
Stoking the embers
Fanning the fire
My heart’s aflame
And you’re to blame
You filled me with desire
Burning away
All that I knew
And turned to ash
My happy past
Destroyed a thing so true
Oh take pity on my foolish heart
Please do, do, do
Oh take pity on my simple soul
Boo hoo hoo hoo
Boo hoo
Oh take pity on my foolish heart
Please do, do, do, do, do, do
Oh take pity on my simple soul
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoooo oooh oooh…
Oh take pity on my foolish heart
Please do, do, do

Up and down
Down and up
You’re up and down again
Back and forth
Changing sides
You’re changing your mind again
You’ve got me spinning circles
Spinning round and round
Spinning ’til I’m dizzy
Falling to the ground
You’ve got me spinning circles
Round and round again
Spinning ’til I’m dizzy
Where will this all end?
Where will it end?
Up and down
Down and up
You’re up and down again
Back and forth
Changing sides
You’re changing your mind again
You’ve got me spinning circles
Spinning round and round
Spinning ’til I’m dizzy
Falling to the ground
You’ve got me spinning circles
Round and round again
Spinning ’til I’m dizzy
Where will this all end?
You’ve got me spinning circles
Spinning round and round
Spinning ’til I’m dizzy
Falling to the ground
You’ve got me spinning circles
Round and round again
Spinning ’til I’m dizzy
Where will this all end?
Where will it end?
Though they might have dominance
Destruction is not prominence
We don’t float or sink alone
We all share the same home
Home
They say there is a light
At the end of every tunnel
But when you’re in mid-flight
Overwhelmed by your troubles
This is the dark night of the soul
(This is) the dark night of the soul
If only I could remember
Just to breathe
If only I could recall
How to be (how to be)
This is the dark night of the soul
(This is) the dark night of the soul
If only I could remember
Just to breathe
If only I could recall
How to be

I feel him tug my heartstrings
His fingers pluck the melodies
Part of the cosmic fugue now
Melding into everything
Turn away our daily cares and
Let the music soothe our souls
And the notes that he’s playing
Combine with mine to make us whole
Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free
In the quiet of the night
All alone in our room
While the world is fast asleep now
He and I compose this tune
Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free
Free
I feel him tug my heartstrings
His fingers pluck the melodies
Part of the cosmic fugue now
Melding into everything
Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free
To set our souls free
To set our souls free
Music is magic
I feel it moving me

I been thinking ‘bout
That sunny afternoon
Like a magic spell
Fading all too soon
Life goes on
That’s what you say
Life goes on
Anyway
You said, “life goes on”
So callously
‘Cause your life moved on
Without me
I miss our idyll hours
And I feel no regret
Only wish I found it
Easy to forget
Life goes on
That’s what you say
Life goes on
Anyway
You said, “life goes on”
So callously
‘Cause your life moved on
Without me
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Without me
Ah ah ah ooh
Without me
Life goes on
That’s what you say
Life goes on
Anyway
You said, “life goes on”
So callously
‘Cause your life moved on
Without me
Life goes on
Is what you say
Life goes on
Anyway
You said, “life goes on”
Now I see
That your life moved on
Without me
Without me
Ooh ooh ooh
Without me
