Keeping up with the vinyl listening experience for a digital format, 'C Side Volume 5 - Little Blue Secrets - Side 1' acts digitally as a vinyl or tape recording would behave on your favourite old school player.
Side 1 track listing:
1. Fairytale Endings
There are no happy ever-afters. This is the core theme of 'Fairytale Endings', a song that takes the fall of perfect romance from heavenly suburban harmony to all out heart-war on a cosmic level. Even the star we once wished upon shoot it out, before dropping from the sky in a spectacular display of destruction. Written in 2010, the track was briefly performed with Smash Universal until the group disbanded.
2. I Am One
Guitar and drum driven rock track 'I Am One' was a bedroom tune before its first online release. The music was composed to complement and back a short lyric poetry piece. The poem itself is an homage to the concept of universal oneness, spiritual enlightenment, and the sacrifices necessary to indulge in such a life. Penned in 2009 and released online in 2011.
3. Moonshine
A thinly-disguised true story of lovers-to-be, drunk in a park, the title subject resides in the sky above and the bottle being shared around. When the wine runs low, nobody has the courage to finish what they came together to begin. 'Moonshine' was a bedroom song until its first online release in 2011.
4. Righteous Self-Destruction
'Righteous Self-Destruction' tells the tale of a lover trapped in an unhappy circumstance. Sometimes, when beset with existential crises and a hurtful partner, a decision must be made, to continue waiting for a miracle, or to pull down the white picket fence, tear your life apart and start again. This track was a bedroom song written in 2010.
lyrics
1. FAIRYTALE ENDINGS
True love
It's so hard
To find her
In suburbia
When our stars
Our stars
Are shooting it out
They fall to the ground
In silver
Dreamers
We all pretend
To mean it
An all surrender
When our stars
Our stars
Are shooting it out
They fall to the ground
In silver
Our star
Our star
Is shooting it out
Falls to the ground
An explosion
Our star
Our star
Is shooting it out
Falls to the ground
And it's over
2. I AM ONE
I am one
With all the trees and stars and demons
The hallowed sun
His great embrace for all we've given
And you know love
You know what must be done
You know what must be done
Silence on your soul
I have won
Through all your fears and scars and visions
Come undone
A great embrace is all I'm given
To bring you all
You know what must be done
You know what must be done
Silence on your soul
3. MOONSHINE
I can't say it
Rather wine
Your lips won't ring it
One last time
Love you sip it
Are you mine
Would you go
All the way
Would you go
All the way
Tonight
It's hazy on
A lunar pride
It brings together
Wonder whys
Love forever
But are you mine
Would you go
All the way
Would you go
All the way
Tonight
4. RIGHTEOUS SELF DESTRUCTION
Tearing my life
Tearing my life
Apart on purpose
Tearing my life
Tearing my life
Apart on purpose
I know
I know
All of my life
All of my life
A lying circus
Kill myself
With kindness
I'll be
Tolerant
Of what you become
Of what you've done
Fight out
I'm out
Word is I'll be going out
In sparks and flames
More than insane
Tearing my life
Tearing my life
Apart on purpose
Tearing my life
Tearing my life
Apart on purpose
Tearing my life
Tearing my life
Apart on purpose
I know
I know
All of my life
All of my life
It's gone to circus
All of my life
All of my life
A darkened circle
Waiting
For a
Silent miracle
Astronomical
Into disgrace
A mouthful of grace
Welcome home
Come out
Bring down
I'll be
Starry eyed glitter bound
There's no one to blame
It's all just a game
Tearing my life
Tearing my life
Apart on purpose
Tearing my life
Tearing my life
Apart on purpose
I know
I know
All of my life
All of my life
A darkened circus
All of my life
All of my life is done
