This is the first in the gauntlet of four tracks we nicknamed "finality5" (previous Starspire and mothbeanie albums featured "finality1-4"). Most of moth's tracks on this album have this great expansive feeling to them, and that's really exemplified in the drop right after the intro here. It feels (in a good way) like going outside and being blinded by the sun while a huge festival is going on
moth's notes:
when I made the intro to this track I knew it was going to be amazing. hopefully the rest of the track lives up to that for you! it did for me. the transition to the next song is also super smooth and I'm very proud of it.
Cheryl's notes:
nothing will ever go as hard as the drop at the start of this track what the fuck did you DO shiny

I'm very hungry.
Give me the
VIDEO GAMES
I've got fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul, and baby, you're a boat
Baby, you're my only reason
If I didn't have you there would be nothing left (You cast a spell on me, spell on me)
The shell of a man who could never be his best (You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me)
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun (And I decided you look well on me, well on me)
You taught me how to be someone, yeah (So let's go somewhere no one else can see)
You and me, turn the lights out now (Check this out!)
All my life (Now, I'll take you by the hand)
You stood by me (Hand you another drink)
When no one else (Drink it if you can)
Was ever behind me (Can you spend a little time?)
All these lights (Time is slipping away) [Back to back, n' spinnin' on the back]
They can't blind me (Away from us, so stay) [Back to back, on the turntables' back]
With your love (Stay with me, I can make) [Back to back, n' spinnin' on the back]
(We're back to back, we're back, suckers!)
Nobody can drag me down (Make you glad you came) [Back to back, on the turntables' back]
(We're kicking off from the old-school)
All my life (The sun goes down) [Back to back, n' spinnin' on the back]
You stood by me (The stars come out) [Back to back, on the turntables' back]
When no one else (And all that counts) [Back to back, n' spinnin' on the back]
Was ever behind me (Is here and now) [Back to back, on the turntables' back]
All these lights (My universe) [Back to back, n' spinnin' on the back]
They can't blind me (Will never be the same) [Back to back, on the turntables' back]
With your love (I'm glad you came) [Back to back, n' spinnin' on the back]
Nobody can drag me down (I'm glad you came) [Back to back, on the turntables' back]
(Check this out, from the old-school!)
Back to back, n' spinnin' on the back!
Back to back, on the turntables' back! (Nobody, nobody)
Back to back, n' spinnin' on the back!
On the turntables' back, on the turntables' back! (Nobody can drag me down)
Back to back, n' spinnin' on the back!
Back to back, on the turntables' back! (Nobody, nobody)
Spinnin' on the turntables, spinnin' on the turntables'
Back to back (Nobody can drag me down)
(Check this out!)
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
I've got fire for a heart (You cast a spell on me, spell on me)
I'm not scared of the dark (You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me)
You've never seen it look so easy (And I decided you look well on me, well on me)
I got a river for a soul
And baby, you're a boat (So let's go somewhere no one else can see)
Baby, you're my only reason (You and me, turn the lights out now)
(Back to back, we're back, piece for piece, for the old-school, live with the beats)
If I didn't have you there would be nothing left (Now, I'll take you by the hand) [It's back to back, hey!]
Nothing left (Hand you another drink) [Back to back, hey!]
The shell of a man who could never be his best (Drink it if you can) [Back to back, hey!]
Be his best (Can you spend a little time?) [Back to back, hey!]
If I didn't have you I'd never see the sun (Time is slipping away) [It's back to back, hey!]
See the sun (Away from us, so stay) [Back to back, hey!]
You taught me how to be someone (Stay with me, I can make) [Spinnin' on the turntables, spinnin' on the turntables']
Yeah (Make you glad you came) [Back to back]
(Check this out!)
All my life (The sun goes down) [Bang bang into the room]
You stood by me (The stars come out) [I know you want it]
When no one else (And all that counts) [Bang bang all over you]
Was ever behind me (Is here and now) [I'll let you have it]
All these lights (My universe) [Wait a minute]
They can't blind me (Will never be the same) [Let me take you there, oh]
With your love (I'm glad you came) [Wait a minute]
Nobody can drag me down (I'm glad you came) ['til you, oh, hey!]
Bang bang there goes your heart
I know you want it (Nobody, nobody)
Back, back seat of my car (Nobody can drag me down) [I'm glad you came]

Wait a minute (You know what, girls?)
Let me take you there, oh (Nobody, nobody)
Wait a minute (Let me show you how to do it)

It's, it's, it's, it's
Jessie, and Ari, if they test me, they sorry (All my life, you stood by me)
Ride his uh like a Harley then pull off in his Ferrari (When no one else was ever behind me)

rly dense, interesting mashup album. goes far beyond "acapella and instrumental" and into some rly accomplished and exciting plunderphonics Allison Fleischer
gorgeous lofi ambient pop album. has a lot of surprises and refuses to really show its hand at first. deeply personal and affected me in ways i cant rly describe Allison Fleischer
Another stunning ensemble from Fievel Is Glauque’s Zach Phillips, these two dozen songs showcase his inimitable songwriting style. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 9, 2023
Giddy music that could easily score a playful Nintendo game, these are bright, chirpy melodies designed to bring a smile. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 3, 2023
