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

Are we still on the same plane?
Are we still on the same page?
We’re moving
In circles
Like planets, orbit slowly
Are you even aware of me?
Are we still on the same plane?
Are we still on the same page?
Can you see my face?
Or have I been erased?
Do you recall my name?
And tell me, will it ever be the same?
Are we still on the same plane?
Are we still on the same page?
Can you see my face?
Or have I been erased?
Do you recall my name?
And tell me, will it ever be the same?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Screen glows blue
In a darkened room
Welcoming light
In the growing gloom
Quiet as a black hole
Up in space
Cold and alone
In this empty place
Are you lonely
Like I am lonely?
Will you reach out, reach out
To hold me?
Tell me, are you lonely
Like I am lonely?
Will you reach out, reach out
To hold me?
Are you lonely
Like I am lonely?
Will you reach out, reach out
To hold me?
Tell me, are you lonely
Like I am lonely?
Will you reach out, reach out
To hold me?
Sending out a message to you
Hoping and I’m praying
It’ll get through
Oh oh oh
Sending out a message to you
— Anji Bee (BMI)
It’s alright, it’s alright, its alright with me
I got a way of being busy
There’s always something more to do
When I come up for air
It’s the little things that help me to get through
Like watching an old movie on TV (it’s alright)
Drinking a bottle of cheap Sonoma wine (it’s alright)
Cracking up on jokes you told a hundred times
Well, that’s alright, you know it’s OK with me
I said it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright with me
You’ve got a way of being distant
Something is always on your mind
When you come up for air
It’s the little things that help ya through the night
Like watching an old movie on TV (it’s alright)
Drinking a bottle of cheap Sonoma wine (it’s alright)
Cracking up on jokes you told a hundred times
But that’s alright, you know it’s OK with me
I said it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright, its alright with me
It’s alright

Lovespirals’ brand new 5th album, ‘Life Goes On,’ is available to stream on Spotify. We’ve been putting a little time into developing our artist profile over there, and plan to create more playlists featuring some of our musical influences and inspirations, so please “follow” us over there to stay up to date! Meanwhile, we hope you’ll find some tracks that you love enough to share on your own playlists, and that you’ll give our album a “thumbs up” on this popular streaming service. And if you’d like to pick up a limited edition eco-friendly CD, autographed by Ryan and Anji, you can still grab one of those from shop.happyhealthyvegan.org — the first 100 orders come with a ‘Life Goes On’ pin!
The first single from Lovespirals’ 2007 album, ‘Long Way From Home,’ was a heart-rending ethereal blues cover of the anonymous American spiritual, “Motherless Child.” It also appears on the ‘Motherless Child EP‘ released September 16, 2007. Anji filmed the scenes for this music video on a road trip to Sonoma County, California.
The ‘Motherless Child EP’ is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Bandcamp and other online music stores.
Part Dream Pop, part Americana, the new single from Lovespirals is considerably more upbeat than “Brother Against Brother,” the first single. Ryan juxtaposes driving blues riffs and dreamy shoegazer guitar, finding a delicious balance between his earlier Love Spirals Downwards work and more recent Lovespirals work. Anji’s vocals exude the confidence born from years of familiarity with the material, with a lovely harmony of her natural earthy tone and haunting upper register.
“Heartstrings” is a lovely high point in the tracklisting for Lovespirals’ upcoming 5th album. The song is a celebration of the duo’s creative connection and the love that goes into Ryan and Anji’s music. The music video, created by the band themselves, is a beautiful representation of the song, shot during the height of California wildflower season. With 3 years of experience shooting, editing and producing videos for their YouTube channel, Happy Healthy Vegan, this creative couple have created what is surely their best and most professional looking music video to date.
Buy the new single & music video on Lovespirals’ Bandcamp to help fund the band’s upcoming 5th album
Enjoy this new video for “Sandcastles,” the epic closing track to Lovespirals’ album, ‘Free and Easy.’ Enjoy two gorgeous sunsets over the Pacific Ocean, shot at the pristine So Cal beach, Crystal Cove. The first sunset was shot from down on the beach, while the second one was filmed from up on the bluff. The second sunset is the most amazing technicolor sky Anji and Ryan have ever experienced, and it really brings the gospel like chorus and electric guitar solo of the end 3rd of this song to life!
