Tao I
03:54

|
The way I speak of is not the eternal way.
Names for things I´m giving, not eternal names.
The sky and earth come from a place without name.
The name is the mother of a million billion things
A secret´s not a secret when it´s not kept secret.
Things I never told you, truest of them all.
Without desire the forest can be seen.
Full of desire, only see the trees.
It´s all different, from the same source.
Hard to handle, looks like chaos.
A secret´s not a secret when it´s not kept secret.
Things I never told you, truest of them all.
Truest of them all dear. Truest of them all.
Things I never told you, truest of them all.
A secret´s not a secret when it´s not kept secret.
Things I never told you, truest of them all.
Darkness within darkness, the gate to mystery.
Darkness within darkness, are we too blind to see?
Are we too blind to see?

Tao II

|
In this world we all know beauty, as beauty, knowing ugliness.
In this world we all need evil. Through evil we know true goodness.
So to have and not to have come together.
Difficult and easy work off each other.
Front and back are father and are mother.
Long and short following one another.
High and low build upon each other.
Sound and silence need each other.
So the wise walk this world doing nothin,
Teaching no talking, going with the flow.
Millions rise, millions fall. They burn so brightly.
Don´t cling too tightly. Love them. Let them go.
Creating yet not holding ever.
Working without trying to look clever.
Work is done, no credit taken whatsoever.
That way it lasts forever.
That way it lasts forever.
In this world we all know beauty, yours truly, knowing ugliness.

Tao III
03:28

|
Lookin´ for losers. Havin´ a contest.
Fight to the finish. Only one is best.
But all this struggle, so like a muggle.
Learn how to lose falling flat.
No pullling rabbits from your hat.
All of your gold eggs just in one basket.
Dude comes along and he tries to snatch it.
Own all you want to, things can own you too.
The bait always brings out the rat.
Hooked on that sweet, salty fat.
Leaders don´t lead us to temptation.
Borrowing from future generations.
And all the pundits pushing what tastes good.
Don´t chase shiny new. Just do what you know you should.
Do what you know you should.
The hero did all he could.
The hero did all she could.
Society´s based on terms of temptation
Taboo on the screen, surreal titilation.
You´re not OK, they´re OK, models in neglige.
They stare at you don´t stare back.
They live to show what you lack.
They live to show what you...
They live to show what you...
They live to show what you lack.
They stare at you don´t stare...
They stare at you don´t stare...
They stare at you don´t stare back.

SHT Musik Valencia, Spain
Like the Lettermen segment from whence comes the name of this project, these are my stupid human tricks. They are simple
home recordings done almost always as a one-man band.
Mostly the songs are about the human condition, my personal trials and tribulations with inner demons and addictions, and anything else that I find interesting or amusing.

This is one of my favorite albums when it comes to cute, catchy little songs that I just never seem to get sick of. I recommend the song "The Symmetry".

Unicorns Get More Bacon

The title track, Unicorns Get More Bacon, is hilarious. If you are a performing musician I think you can really relate to this song.

I love all of the Elvis Depressedly albums. The main member of this group, Mathew Lee Cothran, is also the frontman for Coma Cinema which is worth checking out if you like Elvis Depressedly.
