Look for more original Nice Peter & DanteCim compostions in the new year. :)
Thank you for another great year. Your kind words and support continue to inspire so much creativity, not only for me, but for everyone watching. Your positivity and thoughtfulness is a gift that is forever giving. My gratitude knows no bounds.
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'.

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.
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.

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

Here's a simple one-take performance of a song I wrote many years ago when I lived in upstate New York. I figured now would be a good time to share it with the release of Nice Peter's Sunflower Song and Mary Doodles' inspired painting ( link coming soon ). You can see another painting Mary Doodles did using this Sunflower as her backing track here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM-nFKA3Aq8
I've Got a Girl and she loves that tune
we've got a past of sneaking into
each other's rooms.
We hardly kiss. We hide it good.
but my sheets and my pillows
they know the truth.
They see how I'm kissing you.
Do you want some truth?
I've already started missing you.
There are so many more things to find
but I found so much in such little time
in a place like this
way up here in the altitude
in a town next to nothin' I found you.
I found you.
She's got a touch so sweet and smooth
an innocent look that does not allow
me to move
She's so colorful
She lights up a room
She's been giving me gifts without even knowing it.
Can I please give you this?
Cause now I am knowing it.
I've got a good thing to miss.
There are so many more things to find
but I found so much in such little time
in a place like this
way up here in the altitude
a sunflower grows and has been in full bloom
I'll be missing you.
Oh please, let me keep my sunflower
Oh please leave me asleep with my sunflower
There is no need to weep, my sunflower.
I've Got a Girl and she loves that tune
we've got a past and maybe a future too
I'll be missing you.

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

Hey! We're back. These comments were taken from Facebook & Twitter, but still feel free to leave comments on the video itself. Keep them brief so we can piece them together. I think it will make for a more dynamic song.
I know it's been a while, but this is why Give Me Moments were made in the first place. Felt stagnant and I needed to shake things up and LET IT ALL OUT. Thanks for helping. :)
More to come.

Awww look at you
you think you're gonna see this weekend through
I swam in a lake and almost drowned
it was quite profound it was
quite profound
In other news, I'm singing like a fool
there are no rules
Awww look at you
you think you're gonna see this weekend through
All I'm gonna do today is sleep
just more lazy days in the summer's heat
My brain keeps running like a treadmill
my shoes are wet, man
my coffee's stale
Where do we write it on here?
I'll tell you who I'm tweeting...
THE MOST THOUGHTFUL MOTHERFUCKERS
yea, it's true.
Awww look at you
you think you're gonna see this weekend through
It's waffle time.

Every night I go to bed and wonder
what's the sweetest thing
roll around my sheets and turn the covers
right where you should be
I may call it freedom now
but my heart starts stuttering
lift you up and lay you down
thoughts pulse through me
words elude me
the art of balancing
Every now and then I start to wonder
if some day you'll be
a friend that can defend me
through the thunderstorms that follow me
I may call it freedom now
but my heart starts stuttering
lift you up and lay you down
thoughts pulse through me
words elude me

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

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.

I have ways of making you talk
Some are you humane
others will shock.
Places and names are of no concern.
List all the ways that you yearn.
love, if I may,
let me erase
any sad look on your face
and you can kiss me 'til I'm blue.
Of the many jobs
that I take
none will ever compensate me like the way I feel for you.
I understand now what you mean
the places we'll be
must all stay unseen.
Hand me a map
I'll get lost in a dream
Floating down slumbering streams.
love, if I may,
let me erase
any sad look on your face
and you can kiss me 'til I'm blue.
Of the many jobs
that I take
none will ever compensate me like the way I feel for you.
