Oxygen - Moguai feat. Fiora - the lyrics
The sour taste in my mouth - I should have known when we crashed down; the look that flashed upon your face. Now I find myself backed against the wall.
And I find myself where the atmosphere will drive me underground. And the air out there’s not enough to go around. And I’m heady now and the air is getting thin. And the oxygen’s not enough to live in. I need to breathe oxygen,...

Anti Lamentation
Regret nothing. Not the cruel novels you read to the end just to find out who killed the cook. Not the insipid movies that made you cry in the dark, in spite of your intelligence, your sophistication. Not the lover you left quivering in a hotel parking lot, the one you beat to the punchline, the door, or the one who left you in your red dress and shoes, the ones that crimped your toes, don’t...

First Dream
Pyramidal, funereal and Earthen
Born like shadow and aimed in vain Like the raised point of an obelisk Set towards the sky. Climbing and striving in vain for the stars Which, though beautiful , Sparkle and are exempt, Far from the vapour of war, From it’s fugitive shade They mock at a distance. The frowning bronze of their rays Failing to touch the convex surface of this globe. Property of the...

James Joyce is cool
From the Epiphanies…
That is no dancing. Go down before the people, young boy, and dance for them… He runs out darkly-clad, lithe and serious to dance before the multitude. There is no music for him. He begins to dance far below in the amphitheatre with a slow and supple movement of the limbs, passing from movement to movement in all the grace of youth and distance, until he seems to...

The Genesis of Dreams... thoughts on music..
For the past 4? months, Robot Koch and I have been working on a song called “Dreams of You.” It uses the track “Away from” from his previous record Death Star Droid. I loved “Away from” and innocently asked him one day over noodle bowl if I could sing something I had written on it. He was like “yeah sure” … no doubt we were both thinking...

Flavors.me
Flavors.me is the coolest website - it lets you stream all your feeds to one pretty site you set up yourself - Hallelujah! This essentially means you don’t need another homepage that you have to pay $$$ for. So as an artist with a tumblr, twitter, soundcloud, flickr and now bandcamp account you can stream all those feeds to one page you set up on flavors - for free! Really easy to use and...
Christmas Carols?
OK this may seem mundane - but Christmas Carols… do we love them? or do we hate them? I must say as someone who studied classical singing & forced into caroling for a seasonal december job I am somewhat scarred… but I wouldn’t say I’m a complete Humbug. “Little drummer boy” I always liked… “Silent night” and “Oh Holy Night”...

Broken Pieces - Apocalyptica feat. Lacey - The...
Too late this is not the answer - I need to pack it in Can’t pull your heart together with just my voice alone A thousand shards of glass I came to meet you in You cut the peace out of me And as you ripped it all apart that’s when I turned to watch you, And as the light in you went dark I saw you turn to shadow, If you would salvage some part of you that once new love But I’m...

Breathe in Deep - The lyrics
Lie, Breathe in Deep,
Sleep ‘til the sunlight rushes in,
And the smell of skin throws light up into my face,
I can’t breathe when you’re near to me,
It’s like a dream when I see the sunlight on your face,
And the touch of you throws light on the darkest place…
* Fiora
