Pictures of a Life – The Bottoms
“Η ένταση της μελωδίας μας ξεσηκώνει από την πρώτη στιγμή. Ευκίνητη και πληθωρική είναι πραγματική απόλαυση να την ακούς. Τα απόλυτα ταιριασμένα φωνητικά με την γοητευτική και καθαρή χροιά τους μας ξεσηκώνουν. Ο έντονος ρυθμός με τις εναλλαγές του κερδίζει τις εντυπώσεις και μας παρασύρει σε ένα ανέμελο και διασκεδαστικό χορό.”

Lyrics of Schmoon – Bowlegged Rider
They call him the bowlegged rider
The six legged freak
The bowlegged rider c’mon
Don’t think he ever blinks
And when he sleeps I weep
At the top of the week
Be shooting everyone he meets
Got a thing for cold meat
Mind’s a dripping sink
His shit always stinks
A horsefly’s more polite
And man when he dies I’m gonna sigh
Man when he dies
They call him the bowlegged rider
The six legged freak
The bowlegged rider a’huh
Don’t think he ever blinks
And when he speaks I weep
Even in utero he barely fit
The mom said stop!
I’m goin for a drink
So the chip became a chunk
On his shoulder that very eve
Must be how wounds become marquees
Must be
Wears a tattoo that reads
Fuck tattoos
And fuck canned tuna
Says he’ll rest when he’s dead
Over his dead body
So sing along now
There’s no good left in those eyes
A stye can barely stand
So take a stand
Why don’t I take a stand here
Why don’t I take a stand

Lyrics of Ivan Lavouras – Spanish
Que tu te has ido y yo ya no sé ni qué es lo que quiero
Partida de Ajedrez que se quedó en el infierno
Te has convertido en uno más de los que tienen miedo
Si un día te atreves tu vente que yo estoy aquí y te espero
Y esto acaba de empezar y es que yo ya no te miento
Y acabamos de terminar y es que yo ya no te siento
But I got u trying I got u crying
I got you whispering in spanish!:
“Ay que rico, que me mata, que me atrapa, que me arranca”
In spanish!
Cuz’ u know I was good enough
Perhaps too much for you
But you know
Not everybody is meant…
For driving a V12!
(Galego) Que eu teño a vacina pra túa tontería e xa non podo coa túa aleivosía!
Que no, que no, que no, que no
(Català) Que ni tu saps quin va ser el teu error
Que aquí segueixo molt tranquil, perque no soc jo qui ha perdut…
Y esto acaba de empezar y es que yo ya no te miento
Y acabamos de de terminar y es que yo ya no te siento…
But I got u trying I got u crying
I GOT U WHISPERING!
(Bellydance to a spanish guitar)- Dancebreak
Ay qué rico! Que me mata! Que me atrapa! Que me arranca! SPANISH!
(Sp-panish!)
Ay qué rico! Que me mata! Que me atrapa! Y que me arranca!
Spanish!
I got u whispering in spanish!

This Side – Andrew Pierson Band
“Ωραία και πληθωρικά φωνητικά που με τη θετική τους αύρα φτιάχνουν τη διάθεση μας. Η απολαυστική μελωδία μας μεταφέρει τα δυναμικά της αγγίγματα και μας ξεσηκώνει ευχάριστα, ενώ η ρομαντική πλευρά της αναστατώνει τα συναισθήματα μας. Ο ρυθμός με ένταση και κέφι μας συνοδεύει σε ένα ταξίδι μοναδικό ταξίδι διασκέδασης.”
