I haven't reviewed in awhile... Here we go! Berkeley Social Scene - This is our proud song #100 as BSS! Almost 5 years to the day on song fight under that band name, to celebrate we collected as many of the folks that have collaborated on entries over the years and produced a 7 minute epic ballad of...

Right There At The Edge lyrics: E. Niveous Rayside music: Berkeley Social Scene Every day here felt like a century It's been so long since I was free These old clothes I barely recognize Brings back memories of another life The last three years trapped behind bars Collected my share of battle scars...

Sorry to distract from the ever so important topic of reviewing the current week's title, but I couldn't help but noticed that 5 years ago was GLUTTON!!! The Zipline song back then got only one vote, yet it turned out to be such an epic composition by that band. Can anyone else chime in on whether t...

That's Enough by Berkeley Social Scene [Verse 1] I have got a lot of questions and I'm always reading books I am searching and I’m seeking getting some really strange looks [Pre] Mathematics of the highest mode Hoarding facts into a secret code [Chorus] Let’s put this to bed All your arguments are ...

Threatening To Some by: Berkeley Social Scene [Verse] I suppose it was silly to even try it A plant based diet Disregards the common tenants of most peoples’ beliefs If only people knew of the health benefits ever so profound to bring on a fountain of youth [Pre chorus] That sinister sneer And ghas...

Bag of Bones by Berkeley Social Scene [V1] Stopped and revived once dead now alive you keep coming back a light from the black [Chorus] Bag of Bones Destination unknown So far from your home Won't you leave me alone [V2] Pulled your foot from the grave Once free now a slave Planned to take flight B...

I like this archival dig and cover thing.

Sober - Folk swagger pines over drink, prison, and nostalgic stories of old. Feels familiar and a touch cliche at times, but certainly moments that are well done. Ross Durand - Nice folk gruff messages of wisdom. I like this a lot. Really polished and great melodic vocal performance. This is BEAU-T...

Cost of Living by Berkeley Social Scene The time has come to settle up Finish your drink and put down the cup You're not the only one with bills to pay Get out your umbrella it's your rainy day Just name your price How far are you willing to go To front the cost of living The life you're waiting fo...

Sometimes it's Hard to Keep Yourself Moving by Berkeley Social Scene [Verse1] Alarm pulls you out of a nightmare as the start of each day comes too fast you're sipping your coffee and making your oatmeal hoping the day goes by fast [Chorus] Put one foot in front of the other just take it one day at...

Before the Fire - Cool soundscape. Not really a song. But notable for the unique mix of drones and natural percussion. It's like the prisoners start tapping on the prison walls and ignore the megaphone drones of the guards to stop. Berkeley Social Scene - Both vocal tracks, and all three guitars we...

Paco, I don't know you but I love you. Three years of dedicated participation in making, you deserve this like none other!!!! I've had many a conversation with Glennny over those years as to why this hasn't happened sooner. Once again, congrats.

I Will Be Acquitted by Berkeley Social Scene [Verse 1] A7 E I can not be held responsible for all the things you've heard every day's an uphill climb I have to watch my words [Chorus] F#m A E I know you won't be waiting While the world scrutinizes But I will be acquitted Though never in your eyes N...

Balance Lost I love this. The intro sounds like a postal service song but two octaves lower. The electro clash stylings are perfect. The classic Pete vocal tones are lovely. The at-the-drive-in screams about saliva excite. I love this. Berkeley Social Scene I wrote the progression based on Ken's su...

I don't get it; don't they speak Dutch in Amsterdam?

Amsterdam by Berkeley Social Scene [ Intro ] Am Em D -- double length [Verse] Am Em D Your red lights cast a shadow on the wall Before I thought I had seen it all Your coffee shops so smoky sweet Your bicycles along the street [ Chorus ] C F G C (Em Am) Noord; Zeeburg; Centrum ( district names arou...

Fortune Cookie by Zinkline Rice and chicken Or should he take the shrimp? Kung Pao, not spicy Strokes his beard in contemplation, cracks open his fortune Great things come in small packages You will go a journey There's strength in numbers You are a kind and generous soul That is not a fortune That...

No time to actually meet and record this this week... But here was an idea: Met this girl With bad credit With credit cards She thought were debit It'd all pile up She'd think it was fine But when the bill would come She'd go wild Like a rattle rattle rattle rattlesnake Oh she'd constrict you And li...

City in Fog by Berkeley Social Scene Hey walking through the park in twice the time Just take it in slow in the humid sky No one knows that the water is all gone So hard to tell in the city in fog The reservoirs will run dry Hey this magical mist revives me See the skyline shroud from visibility No...

Martyr -- the rhythm guitar is just a stock Logic VST plugin. Logic Studio has seriously changed my recording life, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's still farting around with some ghetto PC-based crap like I was for the past decade. Ok - glad I wasn't totally off on that. Yeah, I don't mea...

Weakest Suit - Don't be afraid to just solo with the acoustic and vocal about stars and life. Reminds me of those starting days of going to a park at midnight in high school to sing and play. Charming. Quimby - Nice starting beat. Good R-guitar. Long intro. Oh nice the Annie D'Franco style female v...
