Archipelago Me – original recording

itunes link: http://bit.ly/EmptyRoomsEP

I released this EP a while back in 2009 when I was living on my sister's couch after I first moved to LA. No accompanying video yet, but I wanted to put the song out there to see what you think. Looking forward to releasing something new, but getting the old out of the way feels good. Keep truckin'.

Co-produced and mixed by Rafael Serrano:

If there is something to go back to
don't sign that lease
I've been feeling things that I thought
were rightly deceased
See, life's just a sleepy dream
and I think you should say what you mean
If there is something to go back to then
go....go.... go ahead and go.

If there is hatred to hold on to
lay your head down and weep
A little bird in my tree
gives me peace I can keep
If life's such a sleep dream
why don't I just say what I mean?
If there is something to hold on to then
hold... hold.... until you're sad and old.

I've been hiding all of my sickly songs
because I am an island in the sea
of what I think I should be -
Archipelago Me.

Go... go.... go ahead and go.

Autumn in America – demo

Filed Under: video by — Leave a comment
October 17, 2011

Video:


Here is a little peak inside the writing/recording process. I really really really wanted to share this song with you, but I also want to make it a lot more dynamic. Consider this a demo and know that a full version will be coming soon. I'm gonna need a little help from my friends.

Catch up with the progress here:
http://www.facebook.com/givememotion | http://www.twitter.com/givememotion | http://www.givememotion.com

My fondest dream has been a simple life cherishing the small things.
What else could I need?
Then I start to think... in a world that now believes it's all or nothing
How can I compete?

Changing - all the leaves are changing - colors quite amazing
It's autumn in America.
Piles - I can see for miles - don't be in denial
It's autumn in America.

If one busy bee hides most the honey from the rest of his own colony
there will be a swarm of bees.
Look to the trees. See how the earth likes to grow everything most naturally
Then you will surely see

Changing - all the leaves are changing - colors quite amazing
It's autumn in America.
Piles - I can see for miles - don't be in denial
It's autumn in America.

Learn the language of the winter's wind
Don't let it cut and shut you in
There are stories to be told
Find your warmth in community
Share in the prosperity
Springtime will unfold

Thanks to Mary Doodles for her art and inspiration.

This video took much too long to do. It's kind of "me" in a frantically animated nutshell. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for staying close.

There's a spot on my wall
Look long enough it becomes a rolling ball
headed down an endless hall

When I arrive into the streets
I swim around the air we all try to breathe
Find me when I'm oceans deep

I'm a space cadet for life
free and floating - daydream roaming
I'm your space cadet tonight
float away with me

Often times, I must retreat
I find myself sitting at a window seat
watching the wind lift leaves

Other times, well I... I can't relate
So I piss and moan and bitch
and blame the world for why I'm always LATE
Why am I always late?

I'm a space cadet for life
free and floating - daydream roaming
I'm your space cadet tonight
float away with me

There were times when I was not myself
Aw no...
I saw your eyes light up for someone else
Oh....

You're the girl I've been trying to meet.
Runnin' round my head so baby letmaeoraofme seat
Sweepin' you off of your feet.

I'm a space cadet for life
free and floating - daydream roaming
I'm your space cadet tonight
all the liezons with new horizons
I'm a space cadet for life
free and floating - daydream roaming
I'm your space cadet tonight
float away with me

For the past two Easters I've had the honor of participating in PEEP GAMES!
Peeps. You know. Like the barely edible globs of marshmallow.

Bluer Skies

Original ukulele song performed live.

For all those familiar, I tried to cut my hair myself and what you see here is the recovery. I cataloged the initial cut here on my twitter if you want to see the mayhem: http://www.twitter.com/givememotion

ps. Putting up a vlog about hair fail 2011 and some Easter festivities later this week too. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIfvy3lnYzw

--

I know your heart sings
Could I be so bold and
ask if it's singing to me?

Love now that's happening
Could fill us for days
but we know
we're gonna need weeks.

I've been thinking.
Too much time on my own.
Yea, we both know what that means.
Too much time. Too much time on my own.

Settle down.
Quit searching for bluer skies.
Silence and worry is one more cloud passing by.

If I lose my head
and don't see what's coming next
care for me
like I cared for you

You go take the long road
I'll stay safe inside
Find me when you head back home.

Cheap Chinese

An old fashioned love song by candlelight.

--

There's a place up the street
Chinese all-you-can-eat
It's not good
but it's cheap

And that's all I would need
if you're sitting right there with me
If this ain't love,
the world's asleep

I caught you laughing out loud
I thought I saw you smiling at me
we leave things so easily
we're too damn proud

Maybe I'll get us a cloud
float down the river valley
and we'll both soak our feet
until we reach the sea

There's a place in my dreams
where you're staring right back at me
and we think the most similar things

And then years down the street
grandparents hanging the sheets
I will laugh
and you'll be whistling

I caught you laughing out loud
I thought I saw you smiling at me
we leave things so easily
we're too damn proud

Maybe I'll get us a cloud
float down the river valley
and we'll both soak our feet
until we reach the sea

Thanks for sharing this with me,

“Kate” – Ben Folds Five (guitar cover)

Filed Under: video by — 1 Comment
March 30, 2011

Video:


This video is "en hommage" to Ben Folds' live streaming acoustic performance for the sxsw4japan.org fundraiser. link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfxey_nidmc

And here, I've made the tweeting easy for ya: http://clicktotweet.com/x3MP0

As for the lyrical element, this is me learning automation and motion tracking with Final Cut. Fun, but tedious stuff.
No mp3 for you this time. The audio was recorded by the camera. I'm hoping to make a more filled out audio recording soon.

For all my fellow Ben Folds Five brethren, I hope I did the song some justice. For all the Kate's in the world... you're all wonderful.

And if you have the chance, bug Ben Folds about this video via twitter.
