Swollen Sea

Will you return here?
Engulfed by a bleak fear
Have you been swallowed
By the swollen sea?

Where have you gone to?
Pray tell it’s not true
That you’ve been swallowed
By the swollen sea

Drowning, drowning — oh no (x2)

Swim back, please swim back
Oh swim back, please swim back to me
Swim back, please swim back
Oh swim back, please swim back to me

Will you return here?
Engulfed by a bleak fear
Have you been swallowed
By the swollen sea?

Where have you gone to?
Pray tell it’s not true
That you’ve been swallowed
By the swollen sea

Drowning, drowning — oh no (x4)

Our Nights

Floating along on an ocean breeze
The island coast in view
You’ll be the captain and I your mate
We need no other crew
The weather is fair, the sky is clear
The waves are very few
Nobody out on this perfect day
So I’m all alone with you

Sailing along here in Avalon
The sun’s so warm and bright
How I enjoy our lovely days
But look forward to our nights
Our nights (x2)

Out in our boat on the open sea
The summer light is strong
Everything’s different, time is changed
The days can feel so long
All of our cares seem to disappear
Nothing could be wrong
Let us stay here forevermore
It’s where we both belong
Belong (x2)

Sailing along here in Avalon
The sun’s so warm and bright
How I enjoy our lovely days
But look forward to our nights
Sailing along here in Avalon
The sun’s so warm and bright
How I enjoy our lovely days
But look forward to our nights

Our nights (x4)

Old Kazoo Blues (Hidden Track)

That girl mistreated me
She really done me wrong
That girl mistreated me
She really done me wrong
That’s why I’m singing
This low-down ole blues song

She made a fool of me
It tore me all apart
She made a fool of me
It tore me all apart
She made me feel so bad
It nearly broke my heart

She got me feeling down
She got me feeling so blue
She got me feeling down
She got me feeling so blue
Guess there ain’t nothing left
But to play my kazoo

That girl’s been telling lies
She plays it off so cool
That girl’s been telling lies
She plays it off so cool
What does she take me for?
I ain’t no little girl’s fool

Oh So Long

As the days pass
From dusk to dawn
I count the minutes
And the hours
‘Til you come home again

And it’s oh so long to wait
I lack the patience
Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

As the years pass
From frost to thaw
I count the days
And the months
‘Til I go home again

And it’s oh so long to wait
I lack the patience
Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

I Can't See You

I don’t recall the last time we met
Oh dear, seems you have yet to forget
But I, I’ve moved on
There’s nothing that I regret

No I, no I can’t see you
No I, I can’t be with you
Don’t try to kiss me
I’ll only push you away
Don’t say you miss me
There’s some things that one shouldn’t say
We both know it’s over
And it should stay that way

No I, no I can’t see you
No I, I can’t be with you
Don’t hold my hand
I think you know the score
Please try to understand
I’m not your girl anymore
Go on, don’t force me
To show you to the door

No, no, no no

Non je, je ne puis pa vous voir
Je ne puis pa etre avec vous
Je suis desole
Je ne veux pas voux

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

He Calls Me

He calls me
Every night he calls me, calls me
I listen, open up my heart and listen
His voice is like a song
I hear the melodies
So I learn them
Write them down so I can play them

People say I speak in tongues
People say that I am channeling
People say I speak in tongues
People say that I am channeling

People say I speak in tongues
People say that I am channeling
Help me, help me
Show them your glory

People say I speak in tongues
People say that I am channeling
Help me, help me
Show them your glory

He calls me
Every night he calls me, calls me
I listen, open up my heart and listen
His voice is like a song
I hear the melodies
So I learn them
Write them down so I can play them

Let them understand
You are in everything we do
(He calls me, every night he calls me)
(Help me, help me show them your glory)

Dejame

Que somos?
Donde vamos?
Por que somos como somos?

Nada me turbe
Nada me espante
Todo se pasa

Que toda la vida es sueno
y los suenos, suenos son

Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame — sin miedo
Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame — sosegada

Nada me turbe
Nada me espante
Todo se pasa

Que toda la vida es sueno
y los suenos, suenos son

Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame — sin miedo
Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame – sosegada

Que somos?
Donde vamos?
Por que somos como somos?

Nada me turbe
Nada me espante
Todo se pasa

Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame
Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame

Site Updates

Made a few little additions to the site this week. Now the journal entries are separated into batches of 10, so it won’t get too overwhelming. The Photos page has been updated to accommodate a new section, containing fan photos from ProjektFest 2002. I thought it would be a little nicer than pasting them into the Journal… Also added a new link in the Interviews section, and fixed a dead link by just hosting the content ourselves. Fun, fun, fun!

P-Fest

I’ve started hearing back from a few of the fans who attended Projekt Fest 2002. Its so nice to know that people enjoyed our show! We weren’t sure how folks would take to our jazzy new sound, but it seems like it was a success. And my kazoo was a big hit!

Looks like we might have a half dozen shows set up this year when everything is verified. Big stuff, for us! We’re thinking about adding a few more songs to the setlist, perhaps some more electronic stuff?

Jive Magazine Interview

A new Lovespirals <a
href=”http://www.jivemagazine.com/interviews/2002/051
92002-lovespirals/index.shtml”
target=”_blank”>interview has been posted at Jive’s online magazine. The print edition is due out June 1st. An mp3 of “Love Survives,” a new unreleased track, is included in Jive’s music section.

Lovespirals on Mp3.com

Cool! I see our mp3.com page has gone well over 100,000 plays this month. I always wonder who listens, if the same people keep coming back over and over, if they listen to every song or not, and that sort of thing. I tend to download the songs I like by other bands, and play them in my iTunes library. I like to make stations, too, like my Dream-Pop Losing Today-inspired stations. Hey, that reminds me, I recently updated my Live365 station, “Lovely Ladies of Electronica,” with 3 totally new hours of music. Look up “Anji Bee” at www.live365.com to hear it.
