taking a brand new chance
we open our hearts to new romance
in the dead of night

using our thoughts to dream
we’re finding ourselves in different scenes
full of love and light

dreaming builds the future
only we can lead us there

it’s time to use our imaginations

everyone take a hand
use our hearts to heal this land
from nightmares of war

taking a brand new chance
we open our hearts to new romance
that’s what hearts are for

the sun is all full of light
a brilliant dawn is coming on
like an open door

lately messing around with interesting results through sample stacking / effects / filters. fidelity generally brittle thanks to sampling hardware carelessness / abuse, future efforts hopefully less so. (click song title for original version youtube) :

untuned jazz

anyone might be forgiven for thinking this is some kind of ironic joke, but rest assured it isn’t. in fact, i genuinely consider this shoegazey cut-up one of my most interesting efforts to date. originally a delphonics song, but hard to go wrong with the NKOTB version as a starting point.

sameworld

(lyrics to an orchards track by the same name)

woke up early today
oh what a lovely day with the sun outside
not a cloud in the sky
slowly make our way
out to the sea
to watch the tide

nothing but time on our hands
and the weather is good
the sea crashes over the land
we did all we could

woke up early today
oh what a useless day with the sun outside
we want to hide
cause everybody knows
the weekday world of work
it comes and goes

in 2006 softstar distributed spring and winter compilation cds of contemporary shoegaze-oriented music, sourced primarily from unsigned acts discovered on myspace. these are the cd sleeves produced for those occasions.

produced under the ‘orchards’ moniker, a 10 song collection of sun-faded textural chillwave tunes with genuine feeling and warmth, also sometimes less than ideal production values. recommended for fans of lo-fi quirky pop. free download here
