Tiny Tide & Annemarie Split EP

*** GET IT HERE ***

“Fall to Fall” is the name of a very peculiar EP made by an Italian indie pop project called “Tiny Tide” and a sweet twee band from Indonesia called “Annemarie”. Basically 7 songs about the everlasting passage of the seasons from one Autumn to another, but also a tribute to Mark E Smith‘s band The Fall and pure indiepop delight. How this crazy madness could have happened? Blame it on Indietracks, leading to meet some other indie pop friends that soon got me in touch with Annemarie singer Rimauli Dindani. I interviewed Rima (that’s her nickname) for my now once-alive magazine SleepWalKing, and we started collaborating for a song called “When Gary Met Putih” for last Tiny album “There’s A Girl That Never Goes Out”. Well. Annemarie had a couple of songs ready, and we had so much fun on doing that song that we decided to try for some more. After 5 months, here’s the result! Just in time for Fall

I can’t tell for Annemarie, ’cause I don’t really know what’s the story about Springtime and Summer’s songs “Spring Bus” (from which the whole project started from) and the amazing “Lovely Afternoon”, but as for Tiny I can tell you that “Fall” and “…To Fall” was born from the Idea or having a three part song (something that I never tried before) with a reprise in the end, and it was a pleausure sing it with Rima, especially by having her saying that “she always has been a fan of Mark” (but – of course – we could also be talking about The Fall ). I also thought about the rise and fall of an indie star, being discovered by a radio DJ in the first part of “To Fall”, to get the audience blasted on its show of a lifetime in the middle of the song. I’m really happy with the C86 and Alanais Morrisette references, the part when I invide to “Rock Keruac” it’s a cool one and generally I really thing this EP holds the best lyrics I ever came to.

The “Tea Time Interlude” it’s a little operetta intermezzo with Porlock playing the harpsichord under a bubble of various psychedelic sounds. It’s an anchor to “To Fall” lyrics where I dream of spending some time with my would be love having some tea. It was also meant to be a dialogue with Rima, but we haven’t managed to finish it in time, so you’re left with my broken Italian.

Last song to be recorded was “Vacaciones de Invierno”, inspired by a collection of poems by Carolina Quiñonez Salpietro, where I tried to give a musical background to her winter underwater world. Not to be forgotten, the naif sketches on the cover and the small booklet are from All I have to do now is leaving you to the lyrics and invite you to enjoy this Autumn rumble with us. Have fun.

TO FALL
(Tiny Tide)

..to fall is always different and always the same
have look at John Peel jumping off the Express
it’s a godlike suprise to win what you can’t get
The pretty little star is posing again
she saw so many changes, she can’t find her own place
You’re leaving little fingertips all over her mistakes
You might want to wish to  start again, a guide it’s what it takesYou want to know her brand new nameit might just be the same
Her biography sais she’s all you’re gonna check
it’s a lyric parade to stay up untill late
with two hundred five editions to drive your mind insane
It’s a wounderfull time to keep up with the news
having  far so many gossip to be wisely choosen
Have a look at my book you’re on my new list too
You might want to know her brand new name
It might just be the same
Drop yourself to a lower position
come and go drop down some notes
A big thank to so many of you
escaped from summer this afternoon
Tonight, we’ll share good tunes
it’s a challenging trading for your own good
Stay true, the cheapest way a perfect trick to sell UK
we ask a better taste but it’s chemical chemical everywhere
Roads are turning in red catwalk floors
I’d like to stay, and have a walk but I got to run I got to go now
have some tea and spend some time with me
it’s just a dream a silly thing I should ask you right before we
Fall… to fall, that’s where we’re heading for
I’m not supposed, I’m not supposed
to hang around with you and not to
fall… to fall in love with your French nose
overexposed, overexposed I think my cold it’s going to explode
Come, stay close, a bosom-friend is gold
under the mist of autumn syes
conspiring with your sleepy eyes by
diii-nking wine to fill half empty gourd
and have a laugh and have a laugh
counting three before we start to fall

VACACIONES DE INVIERNO
(Mark Zonda/ Carolina Quiñonez Salpietro)

o dive inside mesmeric eyes where mold and holes lives by
The swimmer shook the heated waves a fish leaving his place

Deep, deep in the bottom of the pool a forest grows
algae and branches are our tombs
Sit, sit on the edge, don’t let a detail go
take this umbrella for your coat
Swim and push the water, forget about freestyle
we’re floating together this night
A fishball tricks our path

Not a siren, not a Pirate, not a Mistress from the sea
not a mermaid, not a sailor, not a dirty Buccaneer
to do this underwater it takes just you and me
to tie two lives together attraction’s all you need
So come now, come swim with me
hold on through this winter freeze

SPRINGBUS
(Annermarie)

Spring bus. Spring bus
I want you to come fast and make it nice
Spring bus in a spring time
Would you take me away till the morning comes

Oh dear the lonesome breeze
Did you feel the autumn leaves?
When the wind will blow my eyes
And the star will crush our eyes, again…

LOVELY AFTERNOON
(Annermarie)

It was a lovely afternoon
When sunshine get it charm
It was the Sunday on june
And im on my way back home

Oh I still mean it
Get laid beyond the sun
Oh I still mean it
Let the time to pass me

cause everything I see has gone away
A little bird has flew away,
and im alone Look sit through my window
Cause everything I see has gone to sea
A little bird where you will be
I think this time will never meant to me….
It was a lovely afternoon
When people get their bloom
It was the best day on the june
Its time to get a tune…

SUMMER PLAN
(Tiny Tide)

Sun is out and I’ve got nothing to do
nothing to choose but having fun
Aeroplanes got high in the sky
watch’em pass by
from the green In the park
I will start to rock Keruac
Hope it won’t take me far
Today
I’ve got nothing left to go
I’ve got nothing left to fear
I will wonder nowhere
Untill you take your hand in mine, darling
To lose ourselves into the night
We’ll wake up to another place, laughing
And that’s my summer plan, honey
That’s my summer plan
join my summer plane, sign here
That’s my summer plan
Old rough roads and all one light
it’s not so hard to describe
have a drink under the sun
such a delight see the cat passing by
It’s a shiny paradise
Bittersweet aerial sight
I’ll be lazy in the grass
Playing all my favourite bands
I won’t move a finger
Untill you take your hand in mine, darling
To lose ourselves into the night
We’ll wake up to another place, laughing
And that’s my summer plan, honey
That’s my summer plan
join my summer lane, sign here
That’s my summer plan
Make the most of sumer break
Don’t esitate, not at all
So dust off your good surf gear
And catch the tide
I’ll be gone for a while

FALL
(Tiny Tide / Annemarie)

Berkley’s calling
Autumn 81
I’ve never met their singer Mark
Though I’m a fan since many years now
Friends have told me
it’s a hit and run
shambolic days and brilliant nights
depending on your states of mind
And Top Jockeys
stunn the fields to win
another race, another cup
Enjoying lucky pick-up rides
Heads get wounded
collarbones got broken
while  the horses escape harms
I confirm that I will run to
Fall to fall
cue Alanis’s song
and sing along and sing along
As the plane crashed down he thought to
Fall to fall
flyers just went off
they were atop they were atop
standing for a weekend meant to fall
