ReGen Magazine features Lovespirals interview
ReGen Magazine is currently featuring Lovespirals front page with a great new interview by Matthew Johnson. Ryan and Anji discuss their musical influences, recording techniques, and how their music has evolved from Windblown Kiss to Long Way From Home. The band also talks about Love Spirals Downwards, the podsafe music movement, Second Life, the digital music revolution, Radiohead’s new album, and more.
Chillin' with Lovespirals: Live in Second Life
In this special episode, we present our Second Life acoustic performance from Oct. 27th. This was recorded directly from the mixer so there’s no ambient sounds like the water — or the laughing fish that resides near the stage we played. If you have no idea what I’m taking about, check out the video capture of “Walk Away” on YouTube. This is the first live set in support of Long Way From Home, and the first Lovespirals Second Life performance. By the way, the folks from PodShow Island said we had 760 listeners on their audio streams in addition to the full house watching in-game, pretty crazy! We hope you enjoy this stripped down set.
UPDATE: In addition to the live listeners, this episode has now had over 15,000 downloads/streams!
SETLIST :
- “Our Nights” from Windblown Kiss (2002)
- “Walk Away” from Free & Easy (2005)

This Truth
We’ve been together a decade
Though its gone by in the blink of an eye
When I think back on our years together
The only thing I wonder is why
We didn’t begin our lives much sooner
From the first time we met
Well every moment we’ve shared is precious
And there’s nothin’ ’bout us that I regret, no
And she will never take away from that
No, there’s nothing she can say or do
To take away this truth
That you belong to me and I belong to you
This year it will be a decade
We’ve stood together hand in hand
Telling each other everything
Trusting the other will understand
We have never been lead astray
I don’t think we ever will
There doesn’t seem to be a need
That our deep love can’t fulfill
And she will never take away from that
No, there’s nothing she can say or do
To take away this truth
That you belong to me and I belong to you
Yeah, you belong to me and I, and I belong to you
You belong to me and I belong to you
— Anji Bee (BMI)
Sundrenched
Sundrenched afternoon
Waiting for a word from you
Dust motes cloud my eyes
Diamond tears I cry
Sparkling light refracting off my tears
Caught up I’m worn out and burned out by fears
Why must I always assume the worst
Heart beating so fast I fear it may burst
Sunwarmed cobblestone
Walking all alone
Dark thoughts should melt away
In the light of day
Sparkling light refracting off my tears
Caught up I’m worn out and burned out by fears
Why must I always assume the worst
Heart beating so fast I fear it may burst
La la la la la…
— Anji Bee (BMI)
Lovelight
Why waste your precious days?
Chasing in vain
Elusive happiness
Can only bring you pain
Our time on Earth is so short
But our suffering is long
We all sense secretly
There’s somewhere else we belong
Just Look deep inside yourself
To see who you really are
When your illusions melt away
Your soul will shine just like a star
Beaming rays of lovelight
Beaming rays of lovelight, lovelight, lovelight
Just Look deep inside yourself
To see who you really are
When your illusions melt away
Your soul will shine just like a star
Beaming rays of lovelight
Beaming rays of lovelight
(repeat to end)
