Rooftop Sessions with thatwasthen

thatwasthen-rooftop-sessions

We love our music so much that we decided to climb up onto Nicky’s roof and let the world know. Here’s an acoustic version of a new song we’ve been working on for our follow up to Q.E.D.. The song is entitled “My Mistake” and is a work in progress.

This video was recorded right before we left for our UCLA Spring Sing 2010 sound check.

UCLA Mighty Mic 2010 Girl You Don’t Have It

thatwasthen rocked UCLA at their annual Mighty Mic benefit for The Congo and Heal Africa. There was an awesome turn out and we were able to rock to a great crowd. Here is a video of us performing “Girl you don’t have it”.

Live at the Viper Room Rocks and Sand

We rocked the crowd with one of our old favorites, “Rocks and Sand” from the album Q.E.D.

This is the third multi-camera edit we’ve pieced together. Thanks to Justa and Adam Young for the awesome footage!

“Sunlight” by thatwasthen

I wrote this poem many years ago, and it has always remained true and pertinent to me. maybe that’s why it survived long enough to be fully fleshed out.

I will keep the dream alive

and crawl through your web.

Stuck on the thought that I might not

have something Starry Night to say.

I find that with such speed

I think we’ll need a few more stars to guide us

to unblind us from this ever-brightening bulb we power.

it’s now or never, forever.

I come like sunlight,

and if done right, I might

find the kind of signs I’m looking for.

I guess my best bet is, in my sexist metrics of ethics,

“I am gonna drag that bitch to the floor”

pump a few more quarters in and watch them stack at the ledge

and pledge that this investment, it brings fortune.

more than just another tired, uninspired tire yard of burning stink.

don’t think this shit can fit in any mind.

expand beyond what is said.

I come like sunlight,

and if done right, I might

find the kind of signs I’m looking for.

I guess my best bet is, in my sexist metrics of ethics,

“I am gonna drag that bitch to the floor”

Tarry down to landmine fields.

Swim in the blue liquid for your windshield

and drink it down.

Drink it down.

Whatever you find that is under your sink

that’s pink, ignore the stink and drink it down.

Drink it down.
