brianb65101 One of the sweetest singing voices ever combines with layers of musical textures weaving such an intricate tapestry of heart-felt sound.
I hope that the song Closing Doors isn't based on a personal experience. Favorite track: Closing Doors.

You are what you eat, what you think, what you do There ain’t no way around it, they’re coming for you What have we done have we done to ourselves There ain’t no way around it, it’s kill or be killed So say we all It seeps from the source, from the air that we breathe It shoves itself inside our chattering teeth It seeps from a place, from our humanity There’s only one race and that’s the human race So say we all

She walks with ghosts on hooves made all of gold in purple dunes A soft wind blows, yield control She turns to stone and then she floats That’s all that it takes She drifts just like a cloud to the edge To the edge of space where time awaits, wear away She is turning dark like a shadow, lie awake She turns to stone and then she floats

You know I can be found Sitting home all alone If you can't come around At least please telephone Don't be cruel to a heart that's true Baby, if I made you mad For something I might have said Please, let's forget the past The future looks bright ahead Don't be cruel to a heart that's true I don't want no other love Baby, it's still you I'm thinking of Don't be cruel to a heart that's true Don't be cruel to a heart that's true Let's walk up to the preacher And let us say "I do" Then you'll know you'll have me And I'll know that I'll have you Don't be cruel to a heart that's true Why should we be apart I really love you, baby Cross my heart

In the night he comes to me to tell me it’s okay In the day he runs from me to make sure that I stay Closing doors All I see are closing doors Around me these closing doors Never thought I’d ever need the things I need today Holding onto memories of things we did and said Closing doors All I see are closing doors Around me these closing doors If you want to dream go to sleep

Wam! Bam! Mon chat, splatch Gît sur mon lit A bouffé sa langue En buvant tous mon whisky Quant à moi Peu dormi, vidé, brimé J'ai dû dormir dans la gouttière Où j'ai eu un flash Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! En quatre couleurs Allez hop! Un matin Une louloute est v'nue chez-moi Poupée de Cellophane Cheveux chinois Un sparadrap Une gueule de bois A bu ma bière Dans un grand verre En caoutchouc Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Comme un indien dans son igloo Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi Ça plane pour moi Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Ça plane pour moi Allez hop! La nana Quel panard! Quelle vibration! De s'envoyer Sur le paillasson Limée, ruinée, vidée, comblée "You are the Queen of the divan" Qu'elle me dit en passant Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! I am the Queen of the divan Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi Ça plane pour moi Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Ça plane pour moi Allez hop! T'occupe T'inquiète Touche pas ma planète It's not today Quel le ciel me tombera sur la tête Et que l'alcool me manquera Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Ça plane pour moi Allez hop! ma nana S'est tirée S'est barrée Enfin c'est marre, a tout cassé L'évier, le bar me laissant seul Comme un grand connard Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Le pied dans le plat Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi Ça plane pour moi Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi

Take a stroll in the moonlight Tuck a secret in the black of your eye Make a wish on my wishbone Yeah my body is a wishbone Wishbone machine Step by step in the blue light Stars fall like jewels from the sky Make a wish on my wishbone Yeah my body is a wishbone Wishbone machine

Automatic 04:00
Darkness drags hour by hour As deep as water in a dream Arms outstretched hour by hour It doesn’t matter anymore Into the silent evening Our bodies stained by the moon Inhale your pillow deeply Already miss the smell of you I love you so madly I’ll pull you back across the black It’s only a feeling And then we turn and can’t look back You’re beautiful Do you know you’re beautiful? I love you so madly I’ll pull you back across the black It’s only a feeling And then we turn and can’t look back

A cloud goes by in the LA sky Where did we go wrong Where did we go wrong Alone we sink in an ocean of grief And nothing’s good, nothing’s good without you Without you I already know how this ends And I know that I can’t pretend It’ll be alright It’ll be alright A breeze blows by so soft and light Where did we go wrong Where did we go And you say that we Don’t want the same things But I just want, I just want you I want you I already know how this ends And I know that I can’t pretend It’ll be alright It’ll be alright Waiting for the last cloud to go by Waiting for the last cloud to go by Last cloud to go by I already know how this ends And I know that I can’t pretend It’ll be alright It’ll be alright I already know how this ends And I know that I can’t pretend It’ll be alright Will you be alright

Set On Fire 06:50
You set fire To everything you touch Walk away, walk away As we burn to dust Dear take cover From the breath and blood Walk away, walk away As we burn to dust You are my man of glass You shimmer as you break around me

about

LANDROID Landers, California

In a dusty desert town at the edge of the Mojave Desert lives LANDROID. Their music shifts between lush, Lynchian dreamscapes and stark realities, infused with the passing of clouds, the smell of rain-soaked creosote bushes, and the whispers of nearby mountains. ... more
