What makes me cry? you little Orange head Bright as the sun, Juice like my tears
What makes me laugh? by your impatience Jumping around, anywhere anytime
Holding you tightly, nearly can't breath anymore Holding you tightly, nearly can't breath anymore
Seven hours ahead what a cruel distance, end of day will be the time to have lunch Ask the moon if she can bring me back the sun waiting for the night to make a difference
Spark of your teeth, will never eat my nose like what i've done, scare you to die
Shape of your hair, a brand new orange Rolling around, shall i cry or laugh
Kissing me softly, nearly can't speak anymore Kissing me softly, nearly can't speak anymore
A# Am D F Frame a picture plain splash the color full of sugar cane while let the chocolate remains
Keep yourself for real keep it true when all the people telling you we don't accept your art again
G A# Am-Dm G (F) Why don't you compromise X4
Sup the milky cream blow the foam of cherry Bailey on the rocks, before the lemon freezing top
Love your neighborhood, leave a message, nothing understood, let the candle burns like wood
Why don't you change your style X4 Who gotta compromise X4
D7 G7 A#7 F If you wanna come around altogether play our greatest sound let me drive you through the night outtasight experience the end of lost and found

Whenever heading home, Can't stop thinking, about to embrace you Heavenly spirit stoned Materialistic Stay Shallow
People got emotional pain, we can't even speak or sing killing all their fantasy, before all i got to seed.
The moisture deep within your mouth, Come right now, patience never again Lips Painting, bottom of my tongue Smile out abstractly understood
Sensational freaking out, we're so tired, after all Your boss is calling now, while you're out with me
i said "let's go for a picture tonight" wouldn't it be great and nice, you said, you don't watch hollywood even the review was good
Let's run back inside the car, Counting all the endless Star so funny just turn off the lights Romantic eyes deep and bright
The moisture deep within your mouth, Feel right now, patience never again Lips Painting, bottom of my tongue Whenever Hardest Core, Sweetest Core
why don't we heading home again it's time to bring you back home again
it's the taste of caramel, it's the sound of nostalgic film it's the sight of color blind it's the smell of coconuts
(Got this romantic melody from mind suddenly, in the band studio with sing & lee, listen back to it over & over again, a fragile feeling u can never put it together too precisely, and the mood is exotic, jazzy and midnight)
a special evening for all of us... a korean buffet dinner arranged by Ar Sing, so Lawrence, Kee & me joined for this first ever non-music meeting, it was a good time tallk about our dreams, religion, plans, life, money, future...
Bassist Ar Sing said his bank account increase a digit every month... and he reject to paid our bills!
We don't hate no dollars, but we work so hard everyday We don't love no woman, making love til the end of the day Taste of sugar won't be sweet, until you know how to make it one day
We don't hate no houses, all we need is a place to stay We don't love no silence, making noise til the end of today Taste of honey won't be sweet, until you know how to make it one day
|G7 G7 G7 G7 | |D7 D7 G7 G7 | |E7 D7 G7 E7 || We don't steal no money, we don't steal no heart, we don't need no worry, with your funny lucky charm i know ya, i know what i'm gonna do, Make our story worthwhile, let the happy ending comes around
Thx my bandmates, i think we had progress a little bit from the past, here's our rundown 7-9pm last night, to work on 5 songs: > Setup/Tuning (10 mins)
>>>>> CIGAR CRACKER (Take1-5) <<<<< • I think we gotta try the chorus a bit more. the timing. • Paul's guitar-sound doesn't fit the style, too echoly reverb. • we'll try that stop together(mute) part next time. • i realise i miss the end part, please listen to the demo.
>>>>> PEPPER (Take1-3) <<<<< • ArSing suggests we may need an extra bar, should discuss. • see if he can fill some poetic cantonese lyrics as well. • I love Lee's idea of changing drums rhythm in-between.
>>>>> U GOT YOUR CHAOS MANNER?! (Take1-3) <<<<< • I love the intro part layer & drums style change at A-C. • but it's a mess in the middle...
>>>>> JACK (Take1-2) <<<<< • Paul's feedback great, but not sure about solo part, too VaiCobain, i want to be Raw. • I think Sing/Lee can play more up & down together, to drive the whole atmosphere.
>>>>> PEOPLE2PEOPLE (Take1-4) <<<<< • It's a clear "quiet to loud" song, i wanna end with let the notes fade out. • Slower finger picking in the quiet part, more romantic.
> End & Dinner: we may decide to keep this everyweek 2 hrs for a while. • I'll send the recording to ShareDamon before Friday. • coming one: 6-8pm Sat or Sun? call u guys then.
[A letter to everyone of us in the group: please make sure you a ready to read a long writing]
Lawrence Lee / Drums Paul Chiu / Lead Guitar ArSing / Bass ArKok Damon: / Vocal+Rhy Guitar
i'll send a list of mp3 to the sharedamon gmail soon, then we will choose 4-6 songs to play on this Sunday30-Oct2005, 7-9pm. Ya, ArSing's right that we really need to have a commited direction, here's some of my suggestions, please read & let me know what you think when we discuss later.
1/ Objective, what we wanna do: (why we gotta do this?) • To create the sound of our band, making music as a group with attitude. (we must believe we can be a much cooler+better band around, to be one of the most important band in HK, Asia & later in the world) • To publish our music in a way that people can listen & share (mp3, cd, radio, podcast) • Seriously having Fun and Enjoy ourself, it would be lots of practice & hardwork (communication & patience between us are so goddam important) • Live shows (to improvise the songs + interact experience, touching people with music rather than just doing our things)
2/ Time Planning 2006: • if we're going to share that BandRoom (Diamond Hill) from 2006 January, $2800 (2600+200 electricity) for 8 people = $350 each person for a month. • Let say, we will be in the band room twice a week, 2-4 hrs, one in the weekday/another in the weekend, there be 8 times (16-32 hrs) to see each other per month, so, avoid playing covers (unless 1 or 2 when we feeling good) or hanging around doing nothing.
Jan: set-up/equipment & room decoration Feb-Apr: Rehearsal; Making a 6-9 songs demo May-Jun: Summer Live Shows; collecting advise/comments from expert Jul: Cool down period, to listen, think & find out Mr.Right recording producer Aug-Nov: Recording session Dec: Mixing tapes, Advertising & Production Period
3/ Music Style & Direction: Its not the limitations of our sound, its just the issue we got to decide and concentrate, I would like to divide our sound into 2 main direction, I will try to write all lyrics in Cantonese, [A] Depressive Post Rock Moody, Slow/Dark/Sadcore, more arrangment, more than 5 minutes. similar artists: Sigur Ros, Movie Soundtrack, Tortoise, Mogwai, Portishead, Pink Floyd, SonicYouth, YoLaTengo. (more emotional driven by paul solo, progress from Lee Drum) kok song: Jack, Loud Hater, You've been Kissing Me, Pepper [B] Easy Listening England Psychedelic Blues Groovy, nearly 3 minutes, Melodic. Similar artists: Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Manic Street Prechers, Ben Harper, Soundgarden, TenYearsAfter, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. (LeeDrum/SingBass will become the main structure of songs, less freedom for Paul on this) kok songs: Dollar Blues, Cigar Cracker, Flowers Mind, People to People, You got your Chaos Manner, Really Dig your own thing, the Beauty of your nothingness
Extra thoughts From your grandaddy Kok - • Keep up with our inspiration, sharing music and thoughts • Re-think and discuss at least twice a month. Talk about the weak or strong or new idea or improvements and seek solutions and solve the problems. • Preview and get comments/suggestions from a wide range of people, friends, musicians, experts or anyone we think who are capable of doing so • Listen to each other while playing, more together, avoid playing out of the tunes/rhythm/songs • Push each other harder if possible, everyone contribution will make a glorious effort. • we need to identify & understand each others point of views! For example: the term - success of this band, to me is definitely not about - being famous or making money -, its about being ourself, make an existing material (recording/performance art) for the people who love or interested in our stuff, which include myself. • Name of our band: I used Deafhorse(DaFuHoSze) before, and later Chawoko(TeaRun), any other better one or what!? • I know heres endless long-air kok talk now, hope u dont feel like a school project, But I still insist to keep writing this, coz nothings gonna happen if we just talk and play without OBJECTIVE. I feel Im so lucky to met guys like you. I wanna let you know what I think, & no doubt I wanna know what you think as well.
