This is a remix version of "The Sleeping Things You See" that was released on my debut EP "I Was Here"...I really love the "Cutting Edge" collaboration and wanted to make this track available for remixing and use in the collaboration and for anything you wonderful people want to do with it!

Thank you to all the lovely people who worked on it:

Music by MeganCarnes

Vocals by Pamagotchi

*Headphones*

Really inspired by hubrist's music! Have also been listening to a lot of Daughter, which undoubtedly helped shape this <3

LYRICS:

Angles, sore

Problems peak

The dress you wore

A white flag, a sign to speak

I’m an open book

Floating bones,

So scoop me up

And look

I’m yours to own

Two feet tense

We’re here to run

We’re here scream

We’re here to find a reason

Give me any reason

To make it easy to leave

To scream

To shout

Give me a reason

To find an easy way out

Hands in dirt

Sand in throat

Looks are furtive

Insults float

Two feet tense

We’re here to run

We’re here scream

We’re here to find a reason

Give me any reason

To make it easy to leave

To scream

To shout

Give me a reason

To find an easy way out

Low Res Version: the High Res version won't upload! :(

My first baby steps back into video editing...

I had an idea inspired by joerud's "What I Saw" and vatever's Universe drawing http://www.hitrecord.org/records/1166063 . bitfilm's "Stay Away" was the perfect footage for the idea I had in my head.

*HEADPHONES!*

I've been listening to a lot of Bat For Lashes...

Could do with a little bit of a tidy up, se let's call this draft 1!

LYRICS:

We are nomads

We are human hearts

Scavengers

Worlds apart

Who’s to say that our better halves

Will ever come back this way?

They have gone for the hunt

It’s our time to run, cos we are not brave men

When the fires burn

I will find you waiting

Run! I will run!

To save you from this wicked game

There’s a price on our heads

So look to the hills run!

Like the animals that we’ve become

The hunt is on, the hunt is on

 Shattered hearts

And shredded feet

Our souls have become obsolete

Hunger comes from every side

Survival is the only prize

*Mixed for headphones*

I was really moved by valilly's beautiful piece..it really got to me.

I am battling a fabulous cough and sore throat combo right now, but I was so inspired by her words that I wanted to get my ideas up. Thanks to lyrictician for the wonderful music to sing along to.

Definitely didn't shed a tear while recording this...definitely didn't.

LYRICS:

I am reading between the lines

Reading between the spaces

Between your hand and mine

Is there an easier way

To know if this is OK?

I see the shapes of you and me

But it’s blurry, I’m blurry.

CHORUS

Salt spilled when the whisky took hold

I know it’s stupid I’m getting too old

For hope

But you have thrown me

It’s blurry, I’m, blurry

There’s a glance, and a thought

A fleeting sigh

Don’t look up it’s a tri-

Angle, mismatched, odd one out

Is there an easier way

To know if we are OK?

I see the shapes of you and me

But it’s blurry, I’m blurry.

CHORUS

Salt spilled and my heartstrings glow

Shapes of you and me and the blur grows

*MIXED FOR HEADPHONES*

I've wanted to write something for Spaceship's gorgeous instrumental for so long, and when I saw wirrow's drawing I was immediately inspired and this all fell into place :)

I imagine this huge chorus of people gathering throughout the song and all crescendoing over the last section of "we've conquered the stars//the night is ours". I'll upload the stems for remixing!

LYRICS:

We’ve conquered the stars

The planets are ours

Sweet victory

Cosmic conquistadors

Astronomic troubadours

Come one and all!

The universe is ours now!

Come! Run!

Rings round the sun!

Play in the Milky Way!

Wondrous nebulas

Opened to all of us

We’ve conquered the stars

The planets are ours

Sweet victory

The night is our steed

To do as we please

Gallop across the skies

Elysium, here we come!

Onwards, upwards we fly

We've conquered the stars!

The night is ours!

I was inspired by Seldelaterre's "The Cutting Edge"...the melody's really simple and lullaby-ish, (Joab Nevo's track was so perfect for what I had in mind!) but it gets more and more sinister as you realise everyone can see what you are dreaming!

I would love there to be more voices on this..as it grows and grows into a sinister chorus!

LYRICS:

My body’s gone

I cannot see my feet

My body’s gone

My mind is free

Take me far away

My mind is free

Lean back, breathe

It’s just you, just me

Show me

The sleeping things you see

Slowly

The things you make believe

Are leaving your dreams

Streaming through

Your waking eyes

Becoming truth

Eyelids close

Television screens

One last dose

Cinemas

Behind your eyes

Everyone knows

Lean back breathe

Everyone can see

On movie screens

The sleeping things you see

Oooft, just cos it’s Valentine’s Day J

A little nonsense song!

LYRICS:

Give me a line for my valentine tune

Give me cause to pour out the words to you

And I’ll say, say, say

And I’ll sing, sing, sing

Je t’aime, ti voglio bene, I love you

You’re the right to my left

You’re the air in my chest it’s true

You’re the needle and thread that sewed my heart up anew

And I’ll shout, shout, shout

And I’ll dance, dance, dance

To say I love you while I’ve got the chance

Escargot, your shells my home

Our spiral’s written in the stars

Like a galaxy, we’re history

You can’t tell me otherwise

And I’ll say, say, say

And I’ll sing, sing, sing

To tell you my love you’re my everything

You’re my golden ratio

Oh oh oh

You’re my perfect ten

En francais, je t’appelle parfait

Si, l’unico per me

And I’ll say, say, say

And I’ll sing, sing, sing

Je t’aime, ti voglio bene, I love you

And I’ll shout, shout, shout

And I’ll dance, dance, dance

To say I love you while I’ve got the chance

A couple of weeks ago, a collaboration was born between Peppina, Metaphorest and myself! We decided to create a traditional Christmas ballad just in time for the 2012 holidays. Peppina came up with the concept and melody, and Metaphorest penned the beautiful lyrics, before we all put our voices together to produce the final mix!

We had so much fun making this and I want to thank the amazing Peppina and Metaphorest for the opportunity to work with them!

Merry Christmas everyone!

PS: We would love to hear remixes of this! More instruments, more voices...I'll get the stems up ASAP!

LYRICS:

It’s Christmas Eve

And a lonely old house

Sits silently up on the hill

Wishing for someone

To fill it again

With life, love and Christmas goodwill

They say that it’s haunted

Since this day each year

The empty old house comes alive

With smoke in the chimney

And twinkling lights

The place tries to tempt you inside

See one winter in wartime

On Christmas Eve night

Many long years ago

The old house was buzzing

With festive cheer

And the family sang ‘Let it Snow’

When they'd sung all their carols

They sat down to eat

Then sounded a siren so shrill

On that sad Christmas Eve

Those poor souls had to leave

Their happy old house on the hill

CHORUS

When carols ring out in December

Wrapped in a blanket of snow

One lonely house remembers

Christmasses long ago.

Now it’s Christmas Eve

And the lonely old house

Longs for a friend to stop by

But there’s no one in sight

On this wintery night

Who would dare set foot inside

But one lonely soul

A man new to the town

Has been looking for lodgings in vain

He asks and he begs

But all anyone says

Is ‘we’re full, sir, now please go away’

Then a flicker of hope

From the hilltop glows

What a wonderful, welcoming sight

So he hikes up the hill

To the lonely old house

Where he hopes he can stay for the night

There he dines like a king

And he dances and sings

To the tunes the old piano plays

And together the man

and the old house rejoice

As the bells ring out for Christmas Day
