Inspired & the Sleep

10youus:

Every song by Inspired & the Sleep sounds like a meta making of vignette of that same track. At points you feel like you’re listening to the germinal sonics songwriter Max Greenhalgh initially had in his head for the song. Then it’s like you’re hearing the rawest moments of recording and the next thing you know you get the sense you’re looking over his shoulder as he experiments with effects on his laptop. Suddenly you’re listening to a hearty live performance of the tune that somehow leaves you encompassing the streamlined conceptual space of the song somewhere between a music video and a dream. The behind-the-scenes music of San Diego’s Inspired & the Sleep is both big and small, building and deconstructing, ramshackle and refined. These paradoxical traits seem to be inherent in an act that bills itself as both a band and solo-endeavor. It’s appropriate considering the journey his lovely lo-fi pop takes you on that Max Greenhalgh would send us a top ten list of the best songs to listen to while on tour.

Fly Low, Fine Swan Inspired & the Sleep

Demo: Fly Low, Fine Swan

Graph the fine blueprints. Every Inch by inch. Its designed to never let. The possibility exist. Gather leaves and twine. Pluck the trees that blind the sun. And I’ll craft the cage. It all comes in time.

Chorus

The peacock’s wish to fly. Don’t you even try. All odds against ya now. Not a glance towards the sky. It’s the pigeons choice to never show his voice. Self worth can hold. Every note’s rejoice.

Chorus

Every feather, every sign you can make it what you will.
Every note every line.

Chorus

Romance Movie Inspired & the Sleep

Demo- Romance Movie

Oh man she’s just the sweetest thing. Gold coated cavity so deeply engraved. Holding on to all those memory banks. Files and records to prove it exist. Your character’s played by the prettiest actress. My hair is a mess and your dressed to impress. It plays like a film set on a reel to reel. Those flickering scenes they revolve on a wheel

Stored in the dark corners of a writers brain.
Plays in a wide array of colors.

Lay me back down onto that sand covered. A prop of a sun carefully lowered down. Walks in the park set to a gleeful score. We talked on our dreams what the future has stored. Set on a stage filled out by paper mache. Hand painted trees bright colors of the day. But none of its real they’re all just images you see. An afternoon passtime for a ten dollar fee.

Stored in the dark corners of a writers brain.
Plays in a wide array of colors.

You remember our romance movie?

Oh how you shot right through me.

Lewis & Clarke Inspired & the Sleep

New Demo: Lewis & Clarke

Yeah she loved me in note. It helps her think to write it down. Nice to see you in my coat. Provide a space that’s safe and sound. Drilling oil off the coast. I’m mining gold and buying stocks. Laugh out loud at my own jokes. Not a soul around to mock.

I smile so much brighter. Than any on God’s green earth. That body’s geography. I’ll search.

Pillow cheeks, a crescent moon. Will keep me howling at the sky. I’m a knife and you’re my spoon. That strong instinct to cut and pry. Peace of mind for every bite. Just grind those teeth and let it fade. Holding hands to start a fight. I’m stabbing hugs behind a blade.

I smile so much brighter. Than any on God’s green earth. That Body’s geography.

Through hills and trees. Cliffs and seas. Wants and needs. Claims to be.

Demo: “Stitchez” Much older song that I demoed not too long ago. Super slops, but you get the idea. It’s weird how some songs resonate with you while others don’t.

Tower Ramblings 6/11/12

Another in a series of poems written while working in my lifeguard tower. No specific purpose, but it may be a song one day:

“Desert Haze”

A shy girl stuck in her head. A cold lie and the void begins to pry. With a dark past left unexplained. You’re a small girl with an overactive brain.

She left her blanket by the passenger door. I called out, but it was intentionally left for more. Of what? I’m not sure.

A weekend of drugs and canned energy. Spotted by glimpses of fear and insecurity. You’ll be the grandma stitching in her chair. I’ll be the zookeeper trying to show that I care. This event is solely based on substances. And I’ll try to kiss you under the circumstances. Cause I’d rather know before I’m a friend. Or at least that’s the message the fungi sends.
