Crawl across toward your window
I'm calling softly from the street
Always a lonely widow
Half awake and sleeping on my feet
I'm of age but have no children
No quarter phone booth calls to home
Just late night television
Inside my bedroom all alone
-
There is no use in waiting
Offer up your steps so I can climb
Show me all your figure paintings
Etched in the middle of the night
Let me stretch upon your carpet
Let me hear the rain tap on your street
Knowing I am safe on the inside
Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep

Brasil, meu Brasil Brasileiro,
meu mulato insoneiro, vou cantarte nos meus versos
O Brasil, samba que da,
bamboleio que faz ginga.
O Brasil, do meu amor,
terra de nosso Senhor.
Brasil, Brasil! Prá mim.......
O... abrea cortina do passado,
tira mãe prêtado serrado,
bota rei gongo no congado.
Brasil, Brasil!
Deixa, cantar de novo trovador,
à merencorea luz da lua
toda canção do meu amor.
Quero ver "essa dona" caminhando,
pelos salões arrastando, e seu vestido rendado
Brasil, Brasil! Prá mim.......

A Shiba Texas
A Shiba is a small solo project by some lame guy in Texas. Initially acoustic and folky, soon came elements of field
recordings, sampling, freak folk, and noise rock.
Later came math rock, slowcore and emo influences. We'll see what the future holds.

We Have Such Sights to Show You
by Hellraiserten
This album, while having a variety of well produced instrumentation is still quite simple and memorable. It retains the previous songwriting skills but makes each track more unique in it's own way.

songs for someone EP
by April Rain
A beautiful, heartbreaking record. You can tell just how much weight is behind every one of these simple songs, and that much pain and hardships were experienced and were somehow translated into song.
