“Spring Raindrops” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Spring Raindrops” Giovanni Perini The Cinematic Sessions: Shanghai (2010)

Itandeiru
Watashi no
Aware na
Kokoro ga
Itandeiru
Watashi no

My poor heart
Oh how it is aching
Can you hear the sound
Of it breaking
Show pity on the one
You’re forsaking
Look at all the love here
Just for the taking

(repeat all)

– by Anji Bee (BMI)

Note: These vocals were originally recorded in 2008 for the CC Asia Band Creative Commons project. My vocal files were also made available to remixers on the CC Mixter site, where Giovanni downloaded them to create this new version. An abbreviated version of these lyrics are featured in the Plastic Chair song, “Dispersion,“ from 2003. My Plastic Chair partner, Chukimai, translated my English lyrics to Japanese.

Love Me Leave Me, love me leave me lyrics, lyrics

“Perfect Boy” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Perfect Boy” Bitstream Dream Connected (2003)  + Love Me Leave Me LP (2013)

Angelic in statureAB-LMLM-Cover
Graceful and thin
Raven black hair
Pale silken skin
Serious brow
Classic strong chin
Twinkling eyes
And a childlike grin

The most perfect boy (x4)

See you in cafes
Out on the street
See you in clubs
In the smoky heat
I get so upset
I look at my feet
I know deep inside
One day we’ll meet

The most perfect boy (x4)

I found out your name
And your number, too
But now that I know
What am I gonna do
Give you a call saying
“Hi guess who
And oh, by the way
I think that I love you”

The most perfect boy (x4)

“There he is now, he’s coming my way.
Oh god, what am I gonna say?“

Angelic in stature
Graceful and thin
Raven black hair
Pale silken skin
Serious brow
Classic strong chin
Twinkling eyes
And a childlike grin

The most perfect boy (x6)


Note: This lyric was originally written in mid-1994, though I don’t recall recording it until the Bitstream Dream song was created in 2000 and released online as a single. A totally different version with a new arrangement of the same vocal files was created by Chukimai in 2001, called the “Plastic Chair Mix.” Bitstream Dream released their version on a short-run CD called “Connected” in 2003. The Chukimai mix was only released in mp3 format. The version that appears on Anji’s ‘Love Me Leave Me’ album is an all-new recording with additional vocal harmonies and new main melodies for some portions.

 

“Perfect Boy (Plastic Chair Mix)” single (2001)

“Who’s that over there? I think I’ve seen him before…”

Angelic in stature
Graceful and thin
Raven black hair
Pale silken skin
Serious brow
Classic strong chin
Twinkling eyes
And a childlike grin

The most perfect boy (x8)

“Who’s that over there? I think I’ve seen him before.
His face looks familiar somehow…
There he is now, he’s coming my way.
Oh god, what am I gonna say?”

I found out your name
And your number, too
But now that I know
What am I gonna do
Give you a call saying
“Hi guess who
And oh, by the way
I think that I love you”

The most perfect boy (x4)

“Who’s that over there? I think I’ve seen him before…”

There he is now, he’s coming my way.

Free Anji Bee Ringtone Set From MacMost

Leave a comment

Just in time for the holidays; the gift of free Anji Bee ringtones! I met up with MacMost vidcast host, producer and blogger, Gary Rosenzweig, at the New Media Expo earlier this year and we got to talking about music. I was tickled when he said he’d like to feature me as the first in a series of podsafe musicians for his popular MacMost Ringtone collection.

Los Angeles artist Anji Bee, known for her smooth vocals and music podcasts, can now be heard whenever someone calls you on your iPhone. She is featured on the latest set of ringtones from MacMost.com, the Mac news, tutorial and iPhone content Web site.

MacMost began providing free iPhone ringtones earlier in 2008 as an alternative to pay-per-song downloads at the iTunes music store or illegal music downloads elsewhere. There are now 15 sets of ringtones in the MacMost collection. They feature everything from holiday sounds to short, original musical creations.

“One of the ideas we had for the free ringtones was to use them to promote artists,” said Rosenzweig. “We knew Anji Bee from her work as a podcaster and thought it would be perfect to begin with her.”

The Anji Bee Ringtone Set features sections of Anji’s work with various other artists, as well as her podcast theme and vocal recorded specifically for the ringtone set.

It was fun creating loops of songs from my musical catalog in various electronica genres. I made a mix of ambient vocal passages, lyrical snippets, and spoken word from my collaborations with Bitstream Dream, Chukimai, Kou Chou Ching, The Grooveblaster, Lovespirals, Moosefrog, Snoblind, and War-N Harrison (of Hungry Lucy). Hope you’ll find something ya’ll dig!
