Listen Up, Mates 05:22
lyrics
buy track
Nobody never stays round here You really need to make a change Even when you don’t have a choice Time flies for everybody, for real And we just sit down at the living room… While our stomachs are growing up While our old problems are getting old Soon we will have bills to pay Soon our dreams, they will fly away Now we don’t care about the time But what are we going to do with our kids? Even we’re just a bunch of teenagers Once deads, our lives will get bored And we just turned on the computer… But this spring is not good for some ones Sometimes we just want to throw it all away Life never made much sense at all For people made of feelings and songs

This Weight (Part 2) 05:36
lyrics
buy track
Someone said “be strange, then you’ll live like a man in modern age” I think I’m just lost in the time Certain things you shouldn’t heal It’s hard to block what you feel When you’re almost losing your mind When can I leave this town? Can I count the days? ‘Cause outside home, there won’t be hope At least it’s better than waiting in vain Waiting for a cure to the blues Of the one with the pencil in his hand So that’s the question, right? ‘Cause my mind has chased answers And it can’t find out why I blame the night ‘Cause in my thoughts there’s a litany Desire and misery Things might not be what you want A dreamer, a cunt

A Kind of Life 04:54
lyrics
buy track
How many tears we’ve got to wipe? How many wounds will we care? Let’s make a new kind of life Hearts are sliding down the hall Faces are leaving as speedballs All we need is a kinder life And someday you will treat me Like a man caught in a boy There’s nothing else to feel in our lives But someday I will be Living in a landslide Praying for those past lives Looking for a kind of life Let’s keep on walking, ask me why In rainy days, something ever dies Excuse me if my intentions are good There’s no more hope growing up It’s dying faster than a cannonball All we need is a kind of life But someday you will treat me Like a man caught in a boy There’s nothing else to fill in our lives But someday I will be Living in a landslide Praying for those past lives Looking for a kind of life How many times did we drink wine? How many times were we happy? Let’s start again with a kind of life

about

NBRD003

Este EP - e todos os outros trabalhos que virão por aí - é um memorial, um registro sobre crescer e se moldar numa cidade distorcida que não costuma oferecer um caminho não-mecanizado para si mesmo e para quem forma seu ambiente. Hoje tiro um pouco disso de mim e coloco em vocês, em quem tiver 16 minutos a perder em três músicas.

This EP - and all future works - is a memorial, a document about growing up and molding yourself in a distorted city that usually doesn't offer a "non-mechanized" to yourself and to whoever form your ambient. Today I take little bit of it off me and I put it on you, in who might have 16 minutes to lose with three songs.
