  • Song #39 & #40 – Best That I Can & Cruel Empire

    I love you guys.  Just so you know.  It continually hits me that I have continuous support from a tight knit group of people who actually respect my work as an artist.  I wish there were more of you sometimes, but I’m certainly thankful for the few true blues!!  Here are two songs!  More to come in the near future.  I’m leaving for tour next week so things are a bit of a scramble for me right now.  I hope you’ll all enjoy these tidbits!  Wish I could write more… these two songs sort of explain themselves though 😉

  • Song #37 – Desk Away

    Desk Away is a special song.  It is not part of the #100songs project, but I’m giving it to you all for being such patient subscribers!  I’m headed to two different studios in the coming weeks and should be done with the songs for the project by mid-February.  There will be more than the 50 I promised because I’m giving you all some unreleased material from a few years back as well.  I wrote this when my friend Payton Marovich first moved in with me a few years back, just after the conclusion of my 13 year project, Dufus.  Payton and I have become close friends and have inspired eachother musically and recorded on each other’s projects.  Pretty cool how music can make us friends.  He and I met through my music when he was living in Flagstaff, Arizona.  He moved here and has since been creating awesome music under the name Paxtor. I suggest checking it out!  This one was recorded by 23 Psaegz in an early incarnation.  This is an old pic going along with it, though I’m not sure if it has many of the same members or not… I forgot to write it down!

    Desk Away – © ⓟ 2014 Seth Faergolzia, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

    Where the body goes, known
    Where the mind goes, nobody knows
    Weaving a string in and out of your toes
    Wrap all around you up to your nose

    Traveled around the world on a cloud
    Now that I’ve seen the whole way around
    Found myself on the ground
    Sound through the mountains, shouting aloud,

    “I’m away from my desk, far away from my desk”

    When you were born your mind was pure art
    They tossed you around, gave you a name
    Told you no one’s the same
    You’re special, you’re different
    I see that clearly, pure magic
    I see you with stars and sparkles all in your eyes

    “I’m away from my desk, far away from my desk”

    Opening my ears, a hidden message
    Muddied with noise and conversation
    What to do? Who to be? Who to love? What are we?

    Where will take this crazy old world
    Where will you take us you crazy old girl
    Will this spinning ever end
    And where will it land, where will it land?
    Where will it land?

    “I’m away from my desk, far away from my desk”

    Stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away

  • Song #36 – Song for Grandma “Bea”

    This was a bit of a difficult year for my family. Last year, while in the middle of the songwriting project, my grandmother passed away.  She was a wonderful woman, and I wrote her a little song to be played at her funeral.  My grandfather passed about a year later, just like they say happens.  Both very crafty and hard working, generous people.  They lived long, healthy lives.  I was glad to know them.

  • Extra – Call To Action (horns)

    Third horn part finished.  This is one of my favorite new ones.  I hope you’ll all get to hear the final version.  This is just a weird synthesized version of the horn parts I wrote.  We will be recording the full songs with our 10 person band at the end of the month.  So excited!

  • Extra – On A Roll (horns)

    Another one from the horn parts I’m working on presently… Enjoy!  We will be recording the full song at the end of this month!

  • Extra – Little Bitta Reggae Horn sheets and audio

    Hi Gang!

    This is a special one just for the $7 subscribers and up.  Right now, I’m madly working to finish the final 15 songs of this project, with two recording sessions coming up in less than a month with two different bands… but also having a show opening for my old friend Kevin Kinsella of John Brown’s Body I thought I should add horns to our old fan favorite, Little Bitta Reggae.  Here’s a pic of some of the parts and a synthesized audio version of it as well.  Enjoy!

  • Song #34 – Young and Beautiful

    This is one of those songs that I feel shy about showing people and really self conscious about because it is kind of like other songs that exist already.  It’s also a love song, and I guess I feel sometimes weird about sharing my love for one person with the world… I grew up in a home that was moderately affectionate and has grown more affectionate over the years, but I think I was made to feel a bit guarded about outward love declaration.  Anyway, here it is, and I’ve even put a picture of the woman it was written for.  Laura has been an incredible benefit in my life, a person who I feel deeply for and work well with, a difficult combination to find!  Anyway, I think the song says it much better than I can in this typed out form.  I hope you all will enjoy it.  This is another one from the Blackdog Sessions.  Thanks to Dominic and Stan (my bandmates) for continuing to push me into playing this one and making me feel a bit more comfortable with a public declaration of my feelings… and, of course, thanks Laura for inspiring me all the time!

    Young and Beautiful – – © ⓟ 2014 Seth Faergolzia, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

    I’m going home
    Even if I have to go alone
    If no one I know is there
    I’m gonna look in the places where
    I would hide when just a child

    Where we…
    Where we grew up together
    Friends bound in the pleasure
    In the playground where we first kissed
    At night alone in the moonlight
    Turn around and that feeling enters my heart and ignites

    Oooo
    You young and beautiful
    Our bodies the same
    Move through you, you move too
    I wander through these places
    Remember all the faces

    I’m going home
    After all of the places I’ve roamed
    Been all around the world
    Thousands of dreams have unfurled
    But I want to turn around
    And go to

    Where we grew up together
    Friends bound in the pleasure
    In the playground where we first kissed
    At night alone in the moonlight
    Turn around and that feeling enters my heart and ignites

    Oooo
    You young and beautiful
    Our bodies the same
    Move through you, you move too
    I wander through these places
    Remember all the faces

    And if you’re looking closer
    You might fall in the habit
    Of running barrel over
    When you try and grab it
    The past is gone, you can never get back
    But you can still go home, man
    You’re running away from the home that you’ve got
    Instead of adding a page to the plot

    I’m going home
    Cuz I don’t wanna be alone
    Coming home to you
    I know that’s what I’m supposed to do
    Instead of hiding like a child
    We will grow up together
    Friends, bound in the pleasure
    To the playground where we still kiss
    At night, alone in the moonlight
    Open up, and that feeling enters my heart

    Oooo
    You young and beautiful
    Our bodies the same
    Move through you, you move too
    I wander through these places
    Remember all the faces

    You, young and beautiful
    You, young and beautiful
    You, young and beautiful
    Our bodies the same.

  • Song #30 – Quing

    Quing is definitely one of our band favorites to play with 23 Psaegz… also with Faergolzia.  This recording comes from the Black Dog sessions, of which you’ll be hearing more and more of in the coming month and half till the completion of this step of the project.  Pretty exciting to give you all these songs!  I hope ya like it as much as we do!

    Each day live to the limit
    No way the man’s gonna bring me down
    Ooo tell me can you hear the sound of your rushing heartbeat

    And when your body combines with the sun
    And time is endless for everyone
    See the pointlessness of the complaints of the world
    We are the bigness, the isness, not the bizness

    I ride these fields with you Johnny
    I bought these cookies for your tummy, alright
    This fields got me feeling alright
    And we’ve miles to go yet

    I try to feel for my money
    No legs to feel, but I’m feeling alright
    This feel’s got me fielding all night
    And the drumbeat goes like…

    Guh, guh guh

    And when your body combines with the sun
    And time is endless for everyone
    See the pointlessness of the complaints of the world
    We are the bigness, the isness, not the bizness

    The world has somehow gone horribly wrong
    and when you’re singing a horrible song
    Remember we’re not here for so very long
    Sing your horrible song
    Sing your horrible song
    Sing your horrible song, oooo

    Hey now blue rider
    Quing of the night
    Riding all across the sky

    It beats many times every minute
    It’s like a clock when you’re in it
    Loud, oh tell me can you hear the sound
    Of your rushing heartbeat

    And when your body combines with the sun
    And time is endless for everyone
    See the pointlessness of the complaints of the world
    We are the bigness, the isness, not the bizness

    The world has somehow gone horribly wrong
    and when you’re singing a horrible song
    Remember we’re not here for so very long
    Sing your horrible song
    Sing your horrible song
    Sing your horrible song, oooo

  • Song #27 – Makiarch

    Hi there subscribers!

    So I’ve gotten a bit behind in my postings.  It has been hard getting back into recording and finishing up this 50 song recording project post-tour, but I’m back in the swing of it and have a large number of songs to post here.  I’ll be (hopefully) posting them daily for the next two weeks.  I’ve finished 37 of the recordings.  My band 23 Psaegz is recording 6 new songs in January and my other band VsvVs is going to be recording another 5-7 songs around then too.  We’re all working hard!  Hopefully I can post some videos so you all can see our progress soon.  I’m also working a few songs here in my studio.  Get ready for a massive influx of new music!

  • Song #26 – Dumb Waiter

    My good friend Gil Mortio from Brussels, Belgium put this song together from an a capella version I wrote.  I really made it come to life in ways I never would have imagined.  He seems to do that with all his work.  He’s got a stellar band called Joy As A Toy, which I highly suggest checking out.  The image which goes along with this track is by a friend from Portugal who lives in Morges, Switzerland named Ivo Emanuel Coelho Gonçalves.  He’s done great poster designs for me two tours in a row now!

    DUMB WAITER – © ⓟ 2014 Seth Faergolzia, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
    A lion says you love me
    Even in your secret whisper
    Terror beckons forth love
    Marriage is a worth pain
    Buried in a turban
    Carry me to the mocha flats
    Where the mochachino healthy hats
    Spring along fare oh well
    Dingaling Fare thee well
    Teleport my fridgerator
    To the crater in the waves
    Make sure they don’t take out my dumb waiter
    Teleport my dumbwaiter instead
    Dumb waiter, can I take your order

    See you later, toodle-ooo toodle-ooo
    See you later
    Bank a ton on me
    I bank your four eyes
    Like to bank your four eyes
    For these guys to my left
    No big surprise, these guys
    To my left
    They’re in disguise
    Like my dumbwaiter
    Can I take your order
    Dumbwaiter
    Don’t make me see you later!

    Can I make your order
    Can I take your water
    Can I drink the water from your table

    I’ve made this my mask
    Tell me if I’m a dumbwaiter or not
    Just ask
    If you haven’t got a clue
    Just ask, ask
    Would you like a word or two
    Dumbwaiter, I’m braver
    Made of flavors
    See you later
    I’m working
    I have to go back to work now
    goodbye, goodbye
    See you later
    I have to go back to my work now
    Goodbye
