GIVE A LITTLE BIT More and More I'm losing my grip I've started to slip - into my feelings You and I - we're feeling too much I'm falling in love - Its like I'm dreaming I want too much - I've got to Give A Little Bit Give A Little Bit of My Love I ask too much - I'm gonna Give A Little Bit Give A Little Bit of My Love Now I know - I'm too far gone I can't hold on - The tables turning Time is time and time doesn't last It's moving too fast and you're not learning I ask too much - I'm gonna Give A Little Bit Give A Little Bit of My Love You mean so much - I've got to Give A Little Bit Give A Little Bit of My Love {You got my love - The Best of My Love} Even though I know I can't stay I'm going to say - The way I'm feeling I know how you feel deep inside Love can't be denied - It's like I'm dreaming {I love you girl - I'm not gonna fight it - Alright} I want too much - I've got to Give A Little Bit Give A Little Bit of My Love You mean so much - I'm gonna Give A Little Bit Give A Little Bit of my love - My Love

STILL ALONE You got a lot on your mind - You tell me lov'in takes time As much as that's true - I still need you You gotta break down this wall - Love don't mean noth'in at all With me wait'in outside - My prayers denied I love you a lot - Love's all I got If loves not enough - You're on your own I can't give no more - So open the door You want it, it's yours - Still Alone So give me one good reason - I need to know why your leaving You got all my love - Why can't that be enough? I love you a lot - Love's all I got If loves not enough - You're on your own I can't give no more - So open the door You want it, it's yours - I'm Still Alone You just push me away - away when it suits you You'll never know what its like Every day to pray for moment When everything feels alright I'm alone in devotion I've been the one all along Can't feel a thing beyond this emotion Maybe I was wrong You got a lot on your mind - You tell me lov'in takes time As much as that's true - I still need you I love you a lot - Love's all I got If loves not enough - You're on your own I can't give no more - So open the door You want it, it's yours - I'm Still Alone Stil Alone - I'm Still Alone - Still Alone I'm Still Alone
3.	Down On You 03:03	lyrics	buy track
DOWN ON YOU Every night I find myself here - molding my world out of despair I wonder why I feel forgotten - broken with nothing to repair But if I feel I've been betrayed - I've only myself to blame The truth is hard to see And if I seem ungrateful - depressed or less than graceful It's not because I'm bitter but just because I'm screwed Going Down On You - I'm going Down On You I'm getting Down On You - I'm Going Down Some days I get so frustrated - Fucked up and somewhat deflated Nobody wants to hear my problems - that's fine 'cause no-one could solve them And if I feel that I've been used - confessions reveal the confused There's no-one here but me I wish I knew the answer - some cure to kill this cancer I'm overwhelmed with anger and your just waiting there Going Down On You - I'm going Down On You I'm getting Down On You - I'm Going Down Going Down On You - I'm getting Down On You I'm going Down on You - Going Down
4.	Pretty Weird 02:01	lyrics	buy track
PRETTY WEIRD It seems forever I've been so in love with you I guess that something I was always meant to do That's why I'm crying - Feels like I'm dying When you said your sad goodbyes - My heart replied I really miss you - miss your way I'm gonna miss you - every day Don't wanna miss you Love Is Pretty Weird - I wish You were here In such a strange and pretty place I found your love Somehow you faced the world when tears were not enough My strength deserts me - I'm yours completely But you knew I had to leave - Love tempted me I really miss you - miss your way I'm gonna miss you - every day Don't wanna miss you Love Is Pretty Weird - I wish You were here
5.	My Only Fear 03:15	lyrics	buy track
MY ONLY FEAR Whenever I lose you - I wonder what you lose Somewhere your laughing while I lay here dying Whenever I find you - I seem to find myself too Love lives in shadows while faith wins some battles Time, doesn't take what it gives Its a chance to truly live But time took its toll on us And we, lived up to nothing much You say forever (you say forever) was never so near That's - That's My Only Fear Forgive me for facing (forgive me) - The tears I'm embracing (Where did all the time go) Years feel like moments when nobody owns it So where does it take you (where does it take you) When life doesn't break you in two? (Where does it take you?) If only you knew But time (never stops ticking) - Only gives what it takes Doesn't care who's heart it breaks But time took its toll on us And we lived up to something I can't touch I know forever was never so near That's My Only Fear (That's My Only Fear) Where do we go from here Don't want to lose it I need you to help me get through it Your My Only Fear 'cause nobody's left but you

7.	Love Seems To Hate You 03:22	lyrics	buy track
LOVE SEEMS TO HATE YOU These are the longest days - These are the coldest night These are the hardest tears - I've ever had to fight It seems so unnatural - The pain I've put us through Love Seems To Hate You Why does it hurt to laugh - What is there left to cry Why do my dreams exist - When nothing is left inside It feels so out of fashion - That I love you like I do Love Seems To Hate You - But what can we do Look in your heart and you'll see there's a part of my life living in you Everything's changed but it still feels the same only now, we're broken in two Yours are the softest tears - You are my warmest dreams You have the brightest eyes - I've ever seen Guess I'm in love now - And there's nothing you can do Love Seems To Hate You - Love Seems To Hate You

CRINGE Every time I think I’m in love Something goes and messes it up Every time I ask myself why I find my will is willing to die Time will help me forget the world I know I’ve had my fill of regret – I need to go Frustrated – Deflated I don’t know how or what to begin The world just makes me Cringe Confessions – Depressions I’m all fucked up and married to sin The world just makes me Cringe Life is bringing me down If this is lost I need to be found Everything I ever believed Has been replaced by lies and deceit Fear has twisted itself around my soul If I could leave I know I’d get out and take control Frustrated – Deflated I don’t know how or what to begin The world just makes me Cringe Confessions – Depressions I’m all fucked up and married to sin The world just makes me Cringe Down you found me but don’t go down there You won’t leave there so don’t go down there Frustrated – Deflated I don’t know how or what to begin The world just makes me Cringe Confessions – Depressions I’m all fucked up and married to sin The world just makes me Cringe Frustrated – Deflated I don’t know how or what to begin The world just makes me Cringe
11.	Mentally In Vain 03:14	lyrics	buy track
MENTALLY IN VAIN For every penny that you thought about I’d give a penny for your thoughts if I thought that you could live without Every price has got its own reward But what a price to pay when God is kick’in down your door Your liv’in healthy in your inner space You got a modem up your ass and a television in your face There’s a flood and its fill’in up the Gates There’s a spider in the web and its watch’in like a pentagon Discipline could slip a pin into that bubble But as the world unwinds it might circumcise your will If I could sleep I’d probably wake up in your heaven And we could build the walls of wisdom like a prison on God’s hill Pray for tomorrow – Maybe I’ll borrow your pain Life never seemed so strange All that I want is everything I’m Mentally In Vain You’re pretty noble for a hypocrite There’s logic to the lies – you’re a manufactured invalid Sun Tzu wasn’t play’in with your mind What you fail to plan will kick you right between the eyes Rock hard with your silicone soul You could finger fuck my conscience but your never gonna take a hold My life doesn’t scare me like it should When they push real hard there’s no way that I could live without Innocence could lift the world up on my shoulders But as your faith unwinds it might jeopardize my soul Genocide will put a price on your ambition In the age of information our salvations bought and sold Pray for tomorrow – Maybe I’ll borrow your pain Life never seemed so strange All that I want is everything I’m Mentally in Vain What are you waiting for Just sell your soul – It opens every door What would I do with everything? I’m Mentally In Vain What would you do with everything? We’re Mentally In Vain

SINCE YOU ARE GONE I light up a cigarette - try forget that you are gone Since You Are Gone - You are gone Smoke fills my aching head - memories and dreams are dead Since You Are Gone - You are gone I don't know - if all I've said Makes any sense but after all its just a song I don't care how long I wait Or how much time that it takes 'til you come home - come on home (don't go don't go) Its only a matter of time - 'til you come back to me How could I ever be wrong - you best just wait and see Its only a matter of time - 'til you come home to me How could I ever be wrong I light up a cigarette - try forget that you are gone Since You Are Gone - You are gone

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Artist info:

In anticipation of hitting the studio to record the third 'Vinyl Sun' album, a couple members of the band boarded a plane for Thailand and spent a couple of months on Ko Samet island developing new material and putting ideas down in an acoustic demo format.

This marked an especially prolific writing & recording period as a large volume of songs were recorded on a portable 4 track tape machine intended as reference tracks for band members.

Recording only in an acoustic format with very limited tools enhanced a creative focus on vocal arrangements and harmonies.

A couple of solos were created running a vocal through the SE-50 FX unit with distortion to create a kazoo like sound. This was done on 'Getting Kinda Nowhere' and 'Addicted'.

Some of the tracks demoed were songs originally written many years ago while still in our teenage years and which we felt were worthy of dusting off and reworking while in Thailand.

We left Thailand with a really good tan, some brilliant memories and a pocket full of tunes.

Raw but sugary sweet ... and good for you!

Thank you for checking it out. Great to know these merry melodies are being heard.

* Asterisk denotes early compositions written in teenage years.

Lo-fi

Originally known only as a technique for making recordings, Lo-Fi -- shortspeak for low-fidelity -- is now a vibrant subgenre of Indie Rock. As the media embraced this budding sub-genre and gave it its two minutes, it became a musical/political statement of sorts.

An intentional nose-thumbing to the glitzy, cookie-cutter albums major labels often churn out -- as well as being a minimalist form of art -- these records were notoriously produced on $200 four-tracks using cheap microphones.
