about
Screaming guitar, melancholic vocals, and some electricity fly over grooving bass lines and unexpected rhythms in an experimental mixture of styles. These elements blend to create a deviant genre of music unique to themselves
lyrics
"I tell myself
that I no longer care for you,
as i recount your harsh words,
I am reminded of Neruda truths.
But then I see
that you are in pain too,
and I want nothing more
than to hold you to help you.
I hate our wandering eyes,
I want us to be magpies,
Is true love a pack of lies?
We fall prey to the oldest sins,
our illusions thick, our nobility thin,
what we wish for we can never win.
My resent surrenders and my
guilt at ever having so sligh-
tly loosened my grip,
at ever having let you go in my mind.
We fall prey to the oldest sins,
our illusions thick, our nobility thin,
what we wish for we can never win.
(Lots of na na nas)
Whatever you want baby,
I'll do it,
Whatever you need me to be baby,
I'll be it,
Wherever you need me to go,
you know I'll follow,
Whatever you want baby,
I don't
Care,
Oh I don't
care,
his fingers in my hair,
Oh na na na na, na na na.
Oh yeh, oh yeh oh yeh"
that I no longer care for you,
as i recount your harsh words,
I am reminded of Neruda truths.
But then I see
that you are in pain too,
and I want nothing more
than to hold you to help you.
I hate our wandering eyes,
I want us to be magpies,
Is true love a pack of lies?
We fall prey to the oldest sins,
our illusions thick, our nobility thin,
what we wish for we can never win.
My resent surrenders and my
guilt at ever having so sligh-
tly loosened my grip,
at ever having let you go in my mind.
We fall prey to the oldest sins,
our illusions thick, our nobility thin,
what we wish for we can never win.
(Lots of na na nas)
Whatever you want baby,
I'll do it,
Whatever you need me to be baby,
I'll be it,
Wherever you need me to go,
you know I'll follow,
Whatever you want baby,
I don't
Care,
Oh I don't
care,
his fingers in my hair,
Oh na na na na, na na na.
Oh yeh, oh yeh oh yeh"

about
Midnight Magpie Berlin, Germany
More than your usual set up. Unprotected sax, smooth clarinet, and jazz piano float over grooving bass lines and unexpected rhythms. They fuse this with electronic sounds, melancholic vocals, and guitar that ranges from acoustic finger-picking to screaming electric solos, in an experimental mixture of styles. These elements blend to create a new deviant genre of music ... more
