(no subject)
OK so ...every once and a while I find myself wallowing in the past a bit. Tonight is no exception, BUT by sharing this with everyone, hopefully I will not be the only one. Maybe these old Tyraid/Foster Lyrics will make some people remember a time when all was right with the world and nothing really mattered except a close nit friendship. This was not just a friendship between the band members, but also the people that were there to support and experience what we believed so wholeheartedly in….our music and now I present to you all. Some blasts from the past. This whole thing is in hopes to get everyone to recall some memories of these tunes so please feel free to post anything you can remember about the stuff, I would love to hear from you all.
Oh and sorry in advance for the extreeeeemly large post
The first three are sort of a trilogy
Don’t look back, written in Canada was the jump start of three of my favorite songs I have ever wrote. Who knew a vacation to the north would have had such an effect on me…lots of memories all tangled into one song
Don’t look back
This is only a dream
I can walk away at any time
and only I can see what is real
Closing your eyes, making it real
Today I had an idea
What if I could hold onto a cloud
and fly away from this place
don’t look back
to see what is not there
and you will forget everything
Don’t look now there’s gold in the sky
Is it real can I touch it with my eyes?
Down a hole we all will fall
Closing your eyes, making it real
I cannot begin to understand
The rhythm the life I hold
Free your soul, fly away
Don’t look back
To see what is not there
And you will forget everything
Tell me what you see
will the sky fall again
are you really breathing
can you hear the beating
of the drums in the sky
call your name call your name
can you hear it now, can you hear it now
can you hear it now, can you hear it…
Don’t look back
To see what is not there
And you will forget everything
One last chance to say goodbye
Hold the moment you wonder why
You will never look back
You will never look back
The next song that would come forward from these three was Dead River Co.
Another interesting song with a unique look on life
Dead River Co.
You are a hundred and fifty miles behind me
You are a hundred and fifty miles away from me
The moon is lighting my pen tonight
Misty lakes are by my side
Dark blue illuminating skies are ahead
Who are you and
what do you do to us
White to red, white to red
They pass us by
Disposable lives they pass me by
Where do they all go I do not know
Lost in time astray from mind
You are hundreds of miles in front of me
You are hundreds of miles away from me
The suns glare hinders my vision
But roads can be seen for miles and miles
Blood red mixing with blue skies are ahead
Who are you and
What do you do to us
Red to white, red to white
They pass us by
Disposable lives they pass me by
Where do they all go I do not know
Lost in time astray from mind
Panacea was kind of like an aftershock song…or better yet…an echo of dead river co.
Panacea
Looking at what you think is nothing
Sitting on the beach oblivious to it all
Staring until your eyes are dry
Some come and some go
But few will know the truth
Let go of what you think is reality
Cut away your endless tragedy
Free your eyes and free your soul
This is your panacea
This is your panacea
Oh look its me again standing in the water
I can hear time echo through the waves
If I could just pull myself together
And release my inner energy
See the world through a different point of view
Now you see yourself
You wonder where you’ve been all this time
Among the stars now you see your body supine
Now you freed your eyes and you freed your soul
This was your panacea
This was your panacea
Here is one for Zack, one of our most fun to play songs
16 Candles
A feeling you have had for so long
is calling out calling out to be found
Will tonight be the night or will you be alone again
Its alright my darling
my sweet little angel
If we do this tonight
we’ll be forever
You want it so bad that you can taste it
The heat of the moment pulls you in
and before you know it
its already over anyway
Its alright my darling
my sweet little angel
He'll tell you what you want to hear
that’s how he gets what he wants
He'll take you out in his brand new car
you know where you'll go from here
What you do in the still of the night
will be with you for the rest of your life
there are tons of other songs but I’m still in the process of digging up all the lyrics and what not but there is alone, female 23, Shannon, seasons, sheep yada yada yada.
Oh and the song that we like to consider the song that ultimately split the band in two. Lol but not really
Dissolve
From a far away dream, one glimpse of a world torn at the seams
Have you ever looked out your window and seen the world below you crumble
Star searching everywhere you look but tainted windows will hold you back
Expand your understanding of, dissolve your reasoning why
Let go of what you know and, hold on to what you don’t
Dissolve into the earth; look for the essence of your life
Two cries are just enough to realize, no ties can bound these lies
One look into an empty eye is better than no reasoning why
Expand your chakras, dissolve your logicalities
Let go of what you know and hold on to what you don’t
Dissolve into the earth; look for the essence of your life
Dissolve into the earth; look for the essence of your life
From a far away dream, one glimpse of a world torn at the seams
And that’s it for now…but
Keep your ears to the ground because these songs may be dormant, but by no means dead. Nor is Foster….
