THE LUNAR WAYNE SHAFT PREVENTS SIDE FUMBLING!!!

InfluencesNON-MUSICAL - trying to impress my parents. the limitations of a small home studio and toy keyboards. the limitations of not singing very well. wanting to make music that sounds "nice", ,wanting to make music with Chris and Amy and Jason and Javid and Cody...

MUSICAL - Sparklehorse, Flaming Lips, Grandaddy, Baby Walrus, Holy Fuck,

   About DARREN KEEN

My name is Darren Keen. I am working on new songs. I don't mind that my voice isn't very good at singing on pitch. I want to play nice music. I am working on new songs. Yes I know I said that already.

I am done recording/mixing/mastering the album. It's 13 tracks and about 24 minutes. That's about 1.75 minutes a song.

I put 5 of the songs up here on myspace. I hope you enjoy them. Album out January 10th on it are good records / slumberparty records

LYRICS

BERLIN, NEBRASKA (DEMO)

I was happy in berlin / doing drugs with my new friends / i was thinking about my life / and what a strange one it's been / oh, i don't know / i was happier in berlin then i've ever been in lincoln / except for when i moved in with jim / but how can i feel like that again? / oh, i don't know / i maxed out a credit line / what am i doing with my life? / oh, i don't know

BIGGEST BITE

there are parts of body that are too tough to chew / his mouth is bloody and he'll spit it at you / soaked and soiled what can you do? / there are parts of life that are too tough to chew / his mouth is molten filled with meaningless tools / your ears are stripped now what can you do? / don't you want a bite?

LOOK BUT DON'T TOUCH

you can look but don't touch / sometimes looking is not enough / as my thoughts wander away / i wonder what you'd say / if i told you i liked you i think that maybe you like me too / but what am i to do / there's another you're promised to / you can look but don't touch /sometimes looking makes it too tough / i took your hand in mine / and swore i'd never leave your side / i told you i liked you / you said that you liked me too / but what are we to do / there's another you're promised to /

HOT AIR BALLOON

i wanna trip / with all my best friends / so i go and get / a big group of them / and we get inside / my hot air balloon / guide me toward the moon / hot air balloon / you'll never get to heaven if you're scared of getting high

THERE ARE NO RULES

why do people care what a song says / why do people care whats in my head / till the end of time i'll ask this / you're too cool to have fun / you try and tell me about rules but i know there are none

RAINBOW

sing it loud / sing it proud / you're a rainbow now / upside down / bye bye my love / i'll miss the way you say goodbye / sing it loud

See, I think he's got it all wrong. But it could be my inner burried juggalo mixed with my outward crazy feelings for you convincing me that it's always awesome.
