Lyrics:
Always online,
searching for a thrill
that will allow me
to pass the time,
make it intriguing

This one looks fine,
I’ll lure you in
and use my charm so won’t stand a chance.
I like the moment when everything begins

Though it’s a point not implied,
ask, and it won’t be denied,
having no plans for you and I,
we’ll be together for a close and affectionate couple of days, then I’m done.
Off to look for another one
for me

After a while,
lust takes a short break I seem to make long,
starting to feel anxious to move on.

Guilt set aside, I had my doubts:
Is she the one I have been hunting for?
Yet I cannot deny her the truthful words

It’s when I say goodbye,
that I recall
the many times I broke it up and found the next one

  1. Listen/watch all the vids, and then try to convince me that someone didn't grow up listening to Gentle Giant and Queen. Not gonna happen. However, I'm glad he/they did because this is even better………much better. I loved them and I love this!!!

  2. Gentle giant and Queen? Bit of an odd couple. But, sure, GG forever!
    The first part mostly works as a reminder how terribly the prog bands sounded in the 80's.
    The sound gets real when the "real" synths and instruments are brought in, before that it's a tinny mess.

    Since the song is carried by the singer it's also an overstatement that the first 2 mins are "all" ipads.

  3. …I thought this was incredible. Musical and inspiring. Commercial and gear-slutty… but that's not necessarily bad. 😉

    …I'd definitely put these tracks on my iPod…

  4. Nice. Second half is kind of Crimson-like. Love the showcase of iPad apps creating a professional sound and then the song morphing into all the regular instruments. Nicely done.
