“Disillusionment of Language” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Disillusionment of Language” AKA “True Beauty,”  “Words (Lack of Them)”

Various ccMixter producers (2009)


Words continually elude me
And I struggle to express
These feelings bottled up inside
They seem to hold no meaning
Feeling like mere empty shells

How can I vent this passion
Building up in heavy silences
Thoughts still seek release
Words only drain them away

Language is forever failing me
There aren’t enough variables
Vocabulary startlingly small
I need more verbs and adjectives
To describe these frantic impulses

How can we speak, communicate
When there is but one word
And that a shallow cliche
Full of bias and pretext and lies

There must be another word
To do justice to the concept
Forming in my mind and soul

How can I tell it to you
Unless we do not speak at all
But show our thoughts instead
Expressed in silences complete

With minds quieted and the hearts open
Eyes projecting everything
Telling all we seek to share

We must allow ourselves the time
And believe in our ability
To know without a concrete proof
And thus destroy such true beauty

— by Anji Bee

Note: This is an old poem from the early to mid 90’s that I recorded recently and made available on the ccMixter site. Various producers have created songs under different titles using these lyrics.

Lovespirals finally take a moment for the first band podcast of the year! Anji starts it off with a quick overview of the past month, including seeing the band’s good pal, CC Chapman, get interviewed by CNN during the Presidential Inauguration — go CC! Then the band get into the nitty gritty of recent events like the latest neighbor noise torments and the big So Cal rainstorm, plus hating on Grammys, announcing the official release date and chart news of the Damien.S VS Lovespirals remix EP of “This Truth” on Loverush Digital, rediscovering Atmospheric Drum & Bass (see: Blu Mar Ten and Below Zero), writing and recording songs for the new album, more cable & TV placements, pimping the new Lovespirals Twitter account, discussing how using a cute picture of a girl will get you more friends on Twitter (see: Azita of Matter Yoga), getting excited over the new Dalai Lama Twitter account (turns out it’s not the REAL thing…), seeing BB King in concert, buying tickets for Robert Cray and The Dead, pimping the Lovespirals Facebook Page, and being confused if people communicate with us via site comment, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace or email (Bente DID comment at the blog, btw!). The show closes out with a clip of “This Truth (Adam Fielding Chilled Out Mix)” which you can hear in full on The Chillcast #150 over at www.anjibee.com.

“This Truth” Ft. Anji Bee Tops UK Charts

Leave a comment

This Truth on Loverush Hot new UK dance music label, Loverush Digital, is about to drop a “Damien.S VS Lovespirals” branded set of remixes of our single, “This Truth,” TOMMORROW February 9th. UK radio and club DJs, however, have already been spinning advanced copies the past few weeks. To my delight, the EP has been blazing up the DMC charts!

DMC is currently listing “This Truth” at #2 on the World Trance Chart, #4 on the World House Chart and the UK Club Chart, #6 on the Club 2009 Test Chart, #10 on the World Chart and #18 on the World Monthly Chart.

Support for the track has been great and we’re excited to be played on shows and stations including Housesssions with Denny Dowd on Juice FM, PH Factor on Energy FM, Club Control with DJ Confusion, and Twilight on Pulse. Reactions have been fantastic, as well. DJs are reporting lots of dancefloor love and even requests!

John McCormick (Deep 6, Fury Murrys, The Hive, Yates) 10/10
This has created one of the biggest buzzes on the floors I’ve seen in ages. Its an enormous winner and packs the floors everytime without fail. Superb mix package. Top stuff all round!

DJ Crispian Aldis (Elemental, Havanah, Paradise) 10/10
This is good and is causing quite a stir in my sets. Loads of fab mixes to choose from. Top track, top label. I can see big things for Loverush in 2009.

Beaker (Berties, Bunters, Divas, Red Square) 9/10
I love the feel to this track, she has such a haunting voice. You can’t help but hear it. It’s such a smooth chill out dance track that works really well.

John J (Club DNA, Liquid Lounge, Wigan Pier) 9/10
LOVIN THIS! Quality vocal trancer with a wicked package of mixers. Fave is Juno Synclair vs Craig Bailey Remix.
