Anji Bee of Lovespirals In-Studio Video #1

Lovespirals are hard at work back in the studio finishing up recording and mixing of their upcoming 4th album. Anji shares a bit of her vocal editing session for the song, “Let It Shine,” in this short video. This is the first of a series of videos the band hope to release as they get ready to master and release their new album this fall. You can look forward to a sneak peek of Ryan recording guitar and bass, and possibly keyboards, from another track on the album in a future video. The duo also perform a track or two acoustically for another video and who knows what else? Anyway, enjoy this first installment recorded with the Mino HD camcorder.

By the way, these videos are being hosted by the Lovespirals Facebook Page.

Cyntia Sponsored by Lovespirals

We finally got word back from the Pacific Marine Mammal Center that our “Meals For Seals” sponsored pinniped is Cyntia, a California Sea Lion pup. Apparently she is a special case, as she came in not only malnourished and dehydrated, but with an eye injury, as well. Poor thing! Cyntia has been at the center for about 3 months now, and after medical care, vitamins, and food, she is finally able to join the other pinipeds in the swim tanks and eat whole fishes. Apparently she is eating 5 and a half pounds of fish per day! We think Cyntia might have been one of the 3 pups we saw in the nursery the day of our visit. Check out this short video we took of them, they are absolutely adorable!

She sure looks a lot happier now, don’t you think?

Help La Jolla Seals Remain at Casa Beach

Can you believe that Attorney Paul Kennerson has been working hard for years to remove the beloved La Jolla seals from “Children’s Pool” at Casa Beach? Everybody else seems to loves them as they are a huge draw for tourists and locals alike. Now that seals are in trouble all up and down the coast, it seems a particularly poor idea to kick them out of this little cove. On top of that, the plan for removal of the seals is to play a recording of dogs barking 24/7, to the tune of $700,000 a year. What???

Join the Facebook Group “Save La Jolla Seals: SealWatch San Diego” to help spread the word!

Anji visits the La Jolla seals at Children’s Pool & is quite tickled

Home

Traveled to the mountains
Down into the valleys
Drove from coast to coast
And when I had returned
This is what I learned
The thing I love the most

Is to be home, home, home, home

Set out in search of romance
All across this country
Ran from man to man
And when the seeds were sown
Found the truth I owned
Only thing I understand

Is my home, home, home, home
Home, home, home, home

Clean sheets they wait for me
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than home, home

Feel So Good

Ooh lover, you make me feel so good
All over, just like I knew you would
Now you’ve won me, you didn’t think you could
But I’ve gotta have ya, I think that’s understood

Ooh, and we should, and we should, and we should
Get together
Ooh, yeah we should, yeah we should, yeah we should
Get together (together)

Ya make me feel so good (feel so good) (x4)

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh uh-huh

Ya make me feel (feel so good) so good
Ya make me feel (feel so good) so good
Feel (feel so good) feel so good, so good uh-huh

Ya make me feel so good (so good)
Ya make me feel so good (oh so good)
Ya make me feel so good (so good)
Ya make me feel so good

Rain

When was the last time that we saw rain?
Come wash away the grey; make it all clean again
Your pitter-patter I find so comforting
So rain, my dear old friend, return once more to me

Day after day, infernal sun, he rises through the gloom
His jovial light offends my eye as he invades my room
Where are the clouds I knew as if they were my own?
Please come back, envelope me, make me feel right at home

Rattle my shutters
Whistle through my eaves
It’s been too quiet here
Stir up my senses, please
Please

Shine

Look out across the night
Into the falling sky
From blue into gray
Match the mood of my eyes
The city now succumbs to darkness
With a quiet sigh

But oh, we’ll not forget
The light’s not far behind
Ooh, its promise is contained
Within each star that shines
Let it shine

Listen and you’ll find
A silence that belies
The drama of our lives
All our lows and our highs
The people now succumb
To darkness with a silent cry

But oh, we’ll not forget
The light’s not far behind
Ooh, its promise is contained
Within each star that shines

Let it shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Let it shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine

One Of Those Days

Feels like it’s one of those days
One of those days
Do ya know what I mean?

I wish I’d stayed home in bed
Covered my head
And told everyone to go away

Because it’s one of those days
One of those days
Do ya know what I mean?

Wish I could stop
Turn back the clock
And start it all over again

Because it’s one of those days
Just one of those days
Do ya know what I mean?

One of those days, just one of those days
Do you know what I mean?
I said it’s one of those days, just one of those days, those days, those days…

Love

Love is so hard to find
Love that’s returned in kind
Love brings you peace of mind

I want love
We all want love
We all need love
Love

So if you see your chance, take it
Don’t ever forsake it
Ooh you just can’t fake it
Come with me and make love

Love, love, love
I want love
Love

I want love
We all want love
We all need love
Love

Water Under The Bridge

What’s the point in thinking over
How it could’ve been
When there’s no chance of doing over
All those things again

Would have
Should have
Could have
Might have

Water
Water under the bridge
(x4)

Yes indeed time’s come and gone
History is written
Naught to do but continue
Our future now begins

Would have
Should have
Could have
Might have

Water
Water under the bridge
(x4)

Ooh ooh ooh…

Insignficant

The multitudinous laughter of the sea
Trapped in a violent silence I can’t break
I’m insignificant

I no longer read, I don’t think, & I can’t speak
Trapped in a violent silence I can’t break
I’m insignificant

I’m dazed and I’m drained
Just a shell of myself
Oh oh oh
I’m insignificant
(x2)

When the world is so big
Time stretching out immeasurable
Who am I to say anything
(x2)

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Insignificant
(x5)
