© 2001 Laughing Colors Music Nothing But Sky is the newest studio release from LC featuring the singles“Roll Into The Light”, “Why Feel Nothing”, and “IAm The Rain”. Nothing But Sky debuted as a Top 20 album on the Baltimorearea Soundscan charts, and was a best-seller at numerous mid-Atlantic retailstores. On this album, LC successfully experiments with their dynamic, colossalrock sound. According to lead singer Dave Tieff, “We definitely took triedsome new things and took some chances with production. For NBS, we threw awaysome of the old formulas we had and really set out to make the best album possible….”While Nothing But Sky is LC’s exploration into the deeper abysses of therock sound, the evocative album is packed with relatable lyrics and hooky melodies. Highlight tracks include “Roll Into the Light”, “I Am TheRain” and “Why Feel Nothing”. “Roll Into the Light”is featured in an upcoming network TV pilot and is played on college and commercialradio stations around the US. “Why Feel Nothing” is a driving, powerfulsong that is played at sporting arena events. “I Am the Rain” isfeatured in the upcoming indie film “Cyber Sex?” (www.morethananotch.com). What people are saying about Nothing But Sky: "Everyone here at the station digs em' big, they consistently pull requestson the phone lines and pack the clubs in town. Check 'em out now, they're gonnabe large!"
98 Rock, Kirk McKewen “If you like any of the current, radio-friendly rock songs, you are gonnalove Laughing Colors. On Nothing But Sky, you are taken on a twisting, turningmusical journey on the highway of modern rock..”
Music Monthly “LC is the next big thing to come from the Baltimore area”
Mitch Allan, SR-71 frontman and producer “Nothing But Sky might sound just a little like a studio experimentation,but it’s a live band, and this non-stop rock disc suggests that.. Pristinelyand flawlessly produced, any cut from this disc would blend perfectly into anyhalfway progressive rock station.”
Unsung Hero Roll Into the Light (2:45) One day left, three days gone
Feeling like a time bomb walking along, where's the time gone?
Leaving the old machine and I can smell the green grass
Through the gasoline
But I'm like a gods eye looking for a way to get off
You know it's never enough their voices told me to go
Another century up, another dream born
And then we'll sit around dreaming of another scenario
Roll into the light -- And if not today go save your own life
Lat dat da da da
And when you wanna be alive you're gonna wanna see the
Sun still shining where they ripped out part of your life
Naked games skipping sun poured into a shotgun
When another thought runs out of my mind
But nevermind, there isn't time
To gather up the evidence, everything's left behind
Another century up, another dream born
And then we'll sit around dreaming of another scenario
Roll into the light -- And if not today go save your own life
Lat dat da da da
And when you wanna be alive you're gonna wanna see the
Sun still shining where they ripped out part of your life
We'll say what they can't figure out
You're crashing into something real
You're so high it's a long way down
Roll into the light -- And if not today go save your own life
Lat dat da da da
And when you wanna be alive you're gonna wanna see the
Sun still shining where they ripped out part of your life
Yeah where they ripped out part of your life
Yeah where they ripped out part of your life Turn (3:55) Evolution, revolution man
Our lives transform like the seasons
In a northern town
What if waves could carve the sand with vain precision
Would it look a lot like you? Would it look a lot like me?
I never wanted to be alone
How would we tell this story?
After all we've been though time is just another page to
Turn, turn, turn, turn
Seconds ripple like a stones throw in the water
Cut me open count my rings
Hourglass reflections
Don't wanna look alot like you, don't wanna look alot like me
I am not gonna fade
This is my island, let it rain all day I Am the Rain (2:43) I never wanted to be part of your design
It's not a trip if I'm just tripping through your fine line
I never wanted to be hunted for my skin
I have it coming guess I'll take my medicine
I am the rain, I am all around
Watching the world from an open door
Just like the day before hoping that love comes back around
I'm always feeling like I'm dealing with my past
I hope the future holds a monumental contrast
When all these people who've been ripping at my dream
Will gather under me and be my trampoline
I am the rain, I am all around
Watching the world from an open door
Just like the day before hoping that love comes back around
Some might say we're tangible, then they can't see what's inside
Wish I could rain down on you all and pour into your open mind
How will we get here? Guess we'll fly, when we fall from the sky
I have no reason for believing in your hype
My shoes are tattered and my television's black and white
I keep my promises, they're safely tucked away
I'm gonna use em on another rainy day
You'll never make us go away
I am the rain, I am all around Reaching Down (Epiphany) (4:20) I woke up today and the skies were sunny
And I looked out over the human fields
We just need some inspiration, we don't need money
And I have just enough to give back what you gave me
I got mine you got yours
I got mine you got yours
I got mine you got yours
I got mine you got yours
Reaching down, reaching down, reaching down
I woke up today and the skies were crazy
I looked out over the human fields
One day when things cease to amaze me
I will still have enough to give back what you gave me
I got mine you got yours
Reaching down, reaching down, reaching down
I got mine you got yours
Reaching down, reaching down, reaching down
I got mine you got yours
Reaching down, reaching down, reaching down Why Feel Nothing (3:34) I want you to reach out your arms
I want you to stay here with me
I want you to feel like I feel
Somewhere in between the anger
I know you'll agree
Why feel nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing?
I walk through the keyhole and I
I want to believe what I see
I want you to breathe what I breathe
Somewhere in between the anger
I know you'll agree
Why feel nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing?
Love is all around you
Don't take it, don't take it, don't take it, don't take it away
Love is all around you
Don't take it, don't take it, don't take it, don't take it away
I want you to reach out your arms
I want you to stay here with me
Somewhere in between the anger American Boy (4:00) Welcome to this Golden age, kick your smack and turn the page
And why can't little Johnny read?
Someone stole his face again
American Boy -- life is not the same
American Boy -- nothing's ever real
American Boy -- looking through the glass
American Boy -- How does it feel? How does it feel?
Come out from your hiding place and paint yourself a brave new face
Tell us what would make you awe-inspired.
You ask yourself, "What does it mean? The needle, the bottle, the
nicotine."
You need another way to face the mirror.
American Boy -- overcome the pain
American Boy -- nothing's ever real
American Boy -- celebrate the day
American Boy -- How does it feel? How does it feel?
Welcome to this Golden age, tell us how you slept today
...and why can't little Johnny dream?
cuz now we need him wide awake.
How does it feel? American Boy You and I Are (3:14) Were we stone? Are we seeds from a time that is gone?
When the silence won't leave me alone
I'm reminded I don't belong
Your sons and your daughters they're making it up to you
Now that they all have grown
Like my head underwater I cannot get through to you
Born all alone, you and I are ...... woo hoo, woo hoo
Should I nod when I'm facing the medicine man?
He's got something for me
Doesn't God understand that we do what we can?
Did we stray from the love that we'd given away?
Should we run from the garden and change all
The books on the shelves just to humor ourselves?
Your sons and your daughters they're making it up to you
Now that they all have grown
Like my head underwater I cannot get through to you
Born all alone, you and I are ...... woo hoo, woo hoo
Yesterday came pouring out through our fingers and our mouths
Should we be here in the now?
Did we stray from the love that we'd given away?
Should we run from the garden and change all
The books on the shelves just to humor ourselves? Telluride (3:43) In the afterward we listened, sunlight on the new world glistened
There was purple, pink, and yellow
Gentle people pass and say hello to you
It's not enough for me to be reliant on you altogether
It's not enough for me to be reliant on the only one
It's not enough for me to be reliant on you altogether
It's not enough for me to be reliant on the one
What do you want to believe? What do you want to believe, yea?
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and riteousness never came up
In the aftermath of reason sun fell on the newfound season
Caught a glimpse while we wonder
Need I say again the spell was under you?
It's not enough for me to be reliant on you altogether
It's not enough for me to be reliant on the only one
It's not enough for me to be reliant on you altogether
It's not enough for me to be reliant on the one
What do you want to believe? What do you want to believe, yea?
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and riteousness never came up
Hi la li li li
Call the master with the sunshine and his pride
We left today for Telluride
You are blind and unamazed so I will clarify
We left today for Telluride
Call the master with the sunshine and his pride
We left today
What do you want to believe? What do you want to believe, yea?
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and riteousness never came up Hollow (3:04) In the middle of the open day the blue rolls down to meet the ground
See the shadows crumbling away to leave behind an answer
You wait, not long enough to hear -- we trip, we fall on deaf ears
Are we hollow? Are we hollow?
You're alive and inside of this vertigo
Are we hollow? Are we hollow?
You remind me that we don't know
I saw it in the news again today, then I sat down to watch the war
Though it seems a million miles away, the truth is right outside the door
You wait, not long enough to hear -- we're empty, we have no fear
Days run together inside, I'll raise up and gather the time
To strum from my enemy's song, it's hard to be anyone strong
Can I get along today? Over You (4:30) We've gone far enough to know
It'll be alright
I am shrouded in everything that beautiful
It's over, it's over you
It's over, it's over you
If I'm patient long enough
You and I will arrive in frozen time
Nothing in between us now
Your skin is my skin, look what we have found
It's over, it's over you
It's over, it's over you
I would give my life to watch you dance
I don't know why I can't get out from underneath
This trance but I don't mind
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over you Track #11 (1:18) laughter |
