I'm now comfortable playing a lot of the old songs, and I've gotten out a lot of the old equipment.

Songs from YOUr Corner
Who were you playing those songs for?
The songs you played, staring at us
Whispering dangerous secrets with
Your friend sitting in the Corner.
Was it for a reason, Or a dream?
So
Who were you playing those songs for?
While you stared at her and me...
January 2008
dedicated to the crazy dream and memories of a happiness between sweet you and little me.

Songs on the radio
Songs on the radio
~
Songs are playing on the radio
And my thoughts are dancing
Dancing for you my dear
Can I ask you one question
What have you done to me
You’re there making me smile
Little thoughts creeping in
I’m cherry picking melodies
Lines from songs to say to you
You’re the most beautiful girl
And I’m lucky to have you
I’d like to shout and tell the world
But keeping a finger on my lips
Little secrets, mums the word
Songs are playing on the radio
I’d dedicate them all to you
I wish we were dancing
So I could hold you close
Lets make a song our own
Lets put together a set list
All I can do is think of you
All I could want is your kiss

From A Distance
From a distance, the world looks blue and green,
And the snow capped mountains so white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
And the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land.
Its the voice of hope, its the voice of peace,
Its the voice of every man.
From a distance, we all have enough,
And no-one is in need.
There are no guns, no bombs and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed.
For a moment we must be instruments,
Martching in a common band,
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace,
Theyre is the songs of every one.
God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us, from a distance.
From a distance, you look like my friend,
Even though we are at war.
From a distance, I cant comprehend,
What all this war is for.
What we need is love and harmony,
Let it echo through the land.
Its the hope of hopes, its the love of loves,
Its the heart of everyone.
Its the hope of hopes, its the love of loves,
Its the song of everyone.
Sing out, songs of hope,
Sing out, songs of freedom,
Sing out, songs of love,
Sing out, songs of peace,
Sing out, songs of justice,
Sing out, songs of harmony,
Sing out, songs of love,
Sing out, everyone,
Sing out, songs of hope,
Sing out, songs of freedom,
Sing out, songs of love,
Sing out, songs of peace,
Sing out, songs of justice,
Sing out, songs in harmony,
Sing out, sing about love,
Sing out, everyone.
Sing out.

Most electronic equipment uses the principle of amplification. You need filters, modulators and mixing equipment which have gain stages. By piling these components up, I was able to work without any sound generators and I made several pieces in that manner.

I enjoy some physical stuff. But if I had a choice between playing a scene where it's raining, it's terribly cold, I'm wet and I'm being drowned and playing a scene with dinosaur eggs in a laboratory, I'd probably take the latter. It's warmer and generally more comfortable!

White Zombie was a bunch of kids with the worst equipment playing in a basement. But that is what is so great about it. There is no reason to think that you can't do it.

Playing along with records is key. And as far as equipment goes it has gotten so much more affordable and the drum sets are of great quality. I play Pearl; their Export Series is great for a beginner.

After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I've learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That's how this album came together.
I'm still more comfortable with standards than with my own songs.

We were gradually playing larger venues and in the early days PA systems were kind of non-existent. So to play loud, we had to use louder equipment. The PA systems back then didn't mic the instruments - only the vocals.

It's interesting because I've spent all my life playing live, and having people comment on my guitar playing, but I've always wanted to put more focus on the songs and the singing.

When we first started playing in the early days, none of us really had any idea about writing our own songs yet. We were struggling how to learn our instruments and play songs to be able to perform for people.

The same music is playing on the radio in San Francisco, New York, Washington DC and Annapolis. Everywhere you go there's the same artists and same songs by them, over and over again. At some stations they play the same songs 50 to 60 times a week.
One Of Those Love Songs
When youre far from me
Theres a melody that always brings me closer to you
Its our own symphony
Just for you and me
And I hope they play it real soon
Everytime I wish that we were dancing slow
Thats when I hear it playing on the radio
And I know
Chorus:
This is one of those love songs
That you hear in the middle of the night
Makes me wanna be with you
Wherever you are tonight
And whoevers listening just hold your lover tight
This is one of those love songs
One of those love songs
As days turn into years
Weve had our share of tears
But they never seem to last long
Cause the sadness disappeared
Everytime I hear our favorite love song
Now the candles burn as I lay here in my bed
As the molody keeps playing over and over in my head
Chorus
That you never want to end no
And you hope that the dj plays it again and again and again
Play it again and again and again
Chorus (2 times)

I wanted to play rock and roll when I started playing. Nobody at that time ever thought about songwriting. You sang songs, that's all. You sang other people's songs. That's all there were.
