Just got a copy of the new Melou album and it is great. To celebrate, I’ve got a fantastic mix of “lovely ladies” tunes — all from 2008 — plus a Melou CD giveaway!

lyrics

“Favor Tweet” Lyrics

“Favor Tweet (with Takeru Ishikawa)” CC Asia Band CABACA (2008)

Watashi no (my)
Aware na (poor)
Kokoro ga (heart)
Itandeiru (is aching)

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

Watashi no (my)
Aware na (poor)
Kokoro ga (heart)
Itandeiru (is aching)

— by Anji Bee (BMI)

Note: An abbreviated version of these lyrics are featured in the Plastic Chair song, “Dispersion“ from 2003. “Favor Tweet” is an instrumental song by Takeru Ishikawa which I added vocals to specifically for the CC Asia Band Creative Commons project. My vocal files were also made available to remixers on the CC Mixter site, so different versions of this lyric have been created by various producers under new titles.

Fan Discovers Lovespirals via MoShang via Second Life

Second Arts Blog

Its always interesting to find out how fans discover my music and podcast, and sometimes the connections are surprising. A recent post on Second Arts blog details Morris Vig’s musical journey, courtesy of Second Life. Apparently a chance MoShang performance in SL lead to the discovery of Lovespirals (via MoShang’s remix of “Motherless Child,” no doubt), as well as The Chillcast with Anji Bee, which of course has always been a strong supporter of MoShang. Even more fun is that MoShang was Vig’s gateway into the chillout music scene. May I be the first to say, “Welcome!”

“Summer Days” Lyrics

“Summer Days” The Grooveblaster Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights (2008)

citesstreetsbebop

Summertime
Flowers blooming
Fruit is ripe
And all is full of life

Aqua skies
Fuchsia foliage
Just look around
The colors are so bright

Just enjoying summer days with
Pleasant sultry summer days with
Just enjoying summer days with you
Ah, with you

Out of doors
Feel the cool breeze
Sit back, relax
Everything alright

Smell of grass
Damp with dewdrops
Ladybugs and butterflies
In flight

La la la la…

Just enjoying summer days with
Pleasant sultry summer days with
Just enjoying summer days with you
Ah, with you

Summertime
Flowers blooming
Fruit is ripe
And all is full of life

Aqua skies
Fuchsia foliage
Just look around
The colors are so bright

La la la la…

Just enjoying summer days
Pleasant lazy summer days
Just enjoying summer days
With you
Ah…
