ARMS FOR LEGS (AUTUMN ADDITION)


Hello, hello... I’m writing to inform you all that we are on the cusp of unleashing a beastly new edition of the “Arms For Legs” EP. It’s called the “Autumn Addition” (festooned in orange, black and leaf brown for fall) - it’s entitled “addition” as opposed to “edition” because we’re adding 3 new tracks... The first one (and track that I’m clearly most excited about) marks the premier of a brand new Ki:Theory song called “Here To Stay”. It also marks the very first (of hopefully many more) collaboration between Ki:Theory and fans from all around the globe who submitted their voices to be mixed together and included in a virtual screaming mob of a chorus section (you’ll hear what i mean...). Next up is a remix for the band Pictures and Sound which is the project of my good friend Luke Reynolds. Luke is a great singer, songwriter and all around musician as well an exceptional human. The remix was for his song "100 Directions". It has a "Vs." in the title and I think you'll hear why upon first listen... And lastly but not leastly there's the remix of "Mustaches" I did for That 1 Guy. While I don’t know him personally, I did find his music pleasing and easily coaxed into an alternative vision of Ki-ness that simultaneously retains That One Guy-ness. All the “Arms For Legs” favorites from the OG version remain, but this time the files include lyrics in case you were curious of my mush mouth ramblings... On a side note, we’ve been hard at work on some handmade crafty new merchandise that’ll be popping up real soon (including a chance to get a polaroid picture taken of your mug w/ the elusive Bear and BlackFace...), so keep and eye out! And as always...

ARMS FOR LEGS (ACOUSTIC)


Most of my songs start out on an acoustic guitar as the song "Arms For Legs" did. It helps me to get the words out and then down in my notebook. Here's a raw acoustic recording that was made early on in the process. Hope you enjoy...

Arms For Legs:


Dressed up no place to go

We have arms for legs

Turn off your radio

If you can’t stand to beg


Don’t wish the stars that fall on this night

Don’t let the scars be shown unless they’re on your good side

You don’t want the scars to show in this light

I bet the farm before, but this one just don’t feel right


So, come on let’s learn to dance

On a setting sun...

And walk through the spider webs

We’ll do it just for...

We’ll do it for fun


Dressed up but clothes are torn

We have arms for legs

Good intentions are such a bore

Light the powder kegs


Don’t wish upon a star on this night

Don’t let the scars be shown unless they’re on the inside

You don’t want the scars to show in this light

I bet the farm before, but this one just don’t feel right


So, come on let’s learn to dance

On a setting sun...

To “Great Pomp And Circumstance”

We’ll do it just for...

We’ll do it just for fun.
