Here we are
Face to face
Heart to heart
Hand in hand
We will succeed
When the call of love we heed
Rising to new heights
On wings of love we’re taking flight
Hand in hand
Hand in hand
Here we are
Face to face
Heart to heart
Hand in hand
We have the strength of two
Now there’s nothing that we couldn’t do
We put our minds together
To create something that will last forever
Hand in hand
Hand in hand
— By Anji Bee (BMI)
Our words are made of nothing
Just currents of emptiness
Heart, mind and soul
Habitual
After laughter, our malaise
The constant of sleepwalking days
And nightmarish nights
Habitual
We talk to keep from talking (x2)
We’re free to express our opinions
But have we any to share
We talk to keep from talking (x2)
We may have conversations
But I’ve the feeling you don’t care
You’re not really there
Tragedy or comedy
Pseudo-drama you and me
And what of the end?
Habitual
Day into night we often seem
Somnambulstic, lost in dream
For we have become
Habitual
We talk to keep from talking (x2)
Keeping up pretenses
That things are as before
We talk to keep from talking (x2)
I see your lips are moving
But I don’t hear you anymore
Anymore… anymore
Why must things go on and on this way?
Shouldn’t we have something more to say?
We’ve grown habitual no, no, no
It’s just a ritual, habitual (repeat variants to end)
— By Anji Bee (BMI)
When everything seems hopeless
It’s you that gives me strength
To look inside and find
My inner fire
Getting to know myself
And how I feel in my heart
Learning to trust myself
Ain’t a bad place to start
And when I fear I’m drowning
You keep me afloat
You’re like my anchor baby
A rock to moor my boat
Getting to know myself
And how I feel in my heart
Learning to trust myself
Ain’t a bad place to start
Getting to know myself
And just what I wanna do
Learning to love myself
And I owe it all to you
We’re free, we’re free and easy
Taking it slow
We’re free and easy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…
— By Anji Bee (BMI)
Even when you’re gone
I feel you with me
Even when you’re gone
I feel you here
Though we are apart
I feel you with me
Though you may be far
I feel you near
I’m never alone
Cause I’ve got you
Deep in my soul
I’ll never be lonely
Cause with your love
I feel whole
When we first met I was a mess
Feeling so lonely
But you turned my whole world around
You set my spirit free
Once I was lost
Now I’m found
I’ve come into my own
Your loving presence healed my heart
Made my house a home
-chorus-
Even when you’re gone
I feel you with me
Even when you’re gone
I feel you here
Though we are apart
I feel you with me
Though you may be far
I feel you near
-chorus-
And I’ll never be blue
Never, never be blue
Never, never, never
Never be blue
(x2)

Anji questioned whether this shouldn’t really be episode 9, since it follows the band’s ‘Free & Easy‘ special feature, but here we are! The duo discuss the official release of their album, including various distributors like Metropolis and Projekt: Darkwave, how their music is doing on the Podsafe Music Network, expanding the Chillcuts empire, and more.
Yaaaawwwwn I am so tired. I don’t know about this whole time change thing, it’s too confusing. Anyway, the new podcast is up. It’s 10:10, oddly enough. We started a little contest, so go take a listen on the podcast page, if you haven’t already subscribed!
Man, finally someone with some sense responded to my email at Amazon! After several weeks of frustration, we’ve gotten through to their customer service the fact that we do, in fact, have an account with them, and we do, in fact, have an active title listed on their site, and they have not, in fact, placed an order for copies. The release date is next week, so it would be nice if they actually had some stock on hand to fulfill orders. Other sites are already linking to the Amazon.com page for Free and Easy, like Live365 and AMG, so it would be great if folks could actually place the order, rather than just read about the CD. Ugh. I guess this is the really fun part of starting a label, huh?
Adam Curry played our “Walk Away (Bitstream Dream Remix)” on his Daily Source Code #261, which was just yesterday (Monday). The track was culled from our selection of tracks on Podshow’s new Podsafe Music Network site. I was kinda hoping Adam might dig our stuff when we joined the network…

Just wanted to say thank you to all the folks who have already ordered our new CD over the past week. It’s so cool to actually see who is buying it, and to recognize so many of the names from past experiences with people, whether it be from our shows, buddy lists, customer reviews, or wherever! It feels nice to show personal attention to everyone by autographing the CDs and packaging them up ourselves, too. Of course, it’s always nice to sell CDs in stores and through Amazon or iTunes, but this one on one sale is kinda special. So thanks to all your early birds!
Ryan and Anji discuss the creation of Lovespirals’ new CD, Free & Easy, detailing specific tracks, and comparing this 2005 release to their 2002 release, Windblown Kiss. Audio clips from every track on the album accompany this 15 minute interview feature.

The band will personally autograph all copies sold through their own webstore, and are offering a free promo copy of previous album, Windblown Kiss, with the purchase of 2 or more copies of Free & Easy.

Got an email from DJ Rafe Gomez today saying he’s diggin’ the album and will be adding “Free & Easy” and “Hand in Hand” into the mix on his show soon. Cool! Actually, his words were “Thx for hipping me to your ultra kewl sounds.” Positive feedback rocks. Makes all the sweat and tears worth it.
