Politics 02:50
Politics Look at me. I'm a cop. I'm a liberator. Take away what you got. Prestidigitator. Don't object. Put you in the refrigerator. Make your choice. Vote for me. Make you free. I'm a little better. Than the schmuck with the plan... he's a bloodletter. Make the way clear for you. I'm a go-getter. Please trust me. Chorus: It's alright. It's alright. What you want. What you need. Tip the scales to one extreme. There's no difference, baby. No golden mean. In the soup. Get you out. The eliminator. Of the money and funds. I'm an alligator. Swimming in sewer lines. I'm the separator. Prop you up. Check it out. It's for you if your patriotic. Never mind if it's content is idiotic. It's all worked out in lines that are semiotic. Eat it up. Chorus Walk the road that I make. I'm a trailblazer. Set me up with a gift. I'm a hellraiser. Fight for me. What I say's from a pro-phraser. It's so clear. What I say is the law. I'm a dictator. Bring you out of this mess. I'm a simulator. Take the bait. Here it is. I'm the legislator. Hold me up. Chorus

Apparition 04:25
Apparition I feel the rippling sands around me And they burn through my feet I grope through curtains of moonbeams In a dark city street It's all a matter of taste, dear (Passengers on a boat) I see you through a smudged window On the waves do we float It's true that you are my wasting Waves are crashing on rocks It's still ringing in my ear, love Seagulls wheeling in flocks I walk into a dark chamber From the wind blowing wild I fall into a deep slumber - Seen through the eyes of a child My ship is washed upon the strand, love I hear faint sounds from the crew I walk along the shore of dreams now And I'm waiting for you Till the sunrise clears away the misty field of dreams Obscure phantoms shift and float in twilit fogs and steams Scintillation grows from points well hidden in the gloom You dissolve the veils of darkness, all begins to bloom Apparition hov'ring closer, brightly deeply sighs Enter into love so real, it dazzles half-shut eyes Shaking, trembling through the fibers of your open limbs Love is opening up your heart with sounds of lofty hymns

Scrapbook 05:51
Scrapbook Star-coffered ceilings in cinnamon hotels Carousel stallions are turning in tune Drifting on breezes in sunny day mansions Stroll by the shore on the grassy sand dune Megaphone mustache through wallpaper scenery Calling the strollers of pink promenade Ladies in brilliantine carry umbrellas Stop at the stand for a cool lemonade Chorus: Shells on the seashore make tissued impressions Walk by the sands of your fairyland mind Gathering souvenirs for your grand scrapbook Look in the clouds and see what you can find Carousel playing calliope symphony You greet the smiles of the committee chair Polite amenities, no rude obscenities Pass through waves of the vibrating air Children are playing in sandcastle vestibules Watching you as the waves sink in their moat Descending spiraling sandcastle staircase To swab the deck of their Candyland boat Chorus You grace the halls of the memory institute Lovely mementos unfold from the past Change all the fleeting impermanent semblances To frozen happenings structured to last Melt all the icicles shaped from your fantasy Crystal conceptions created in time Radiant rainbows reflecting on haloes Melting and flowing in clear pantomime Chorus

about

The Purple Sound Barrier Cincinnati, Ohio

So, what's with the band's name? We considered but rejected several alternatives for various reasons - for example, Gesamtkunstwerk. Right. We chose The Purple Sound Barrier mainly because that was the name of our band in 7th grade. The Purple Sound Barrier is and was:

David T. Anderson: Vocals, guitar, and keyboards
PH: Vocals, drums, guitar, and keyboards
Chronos Chesterton: Keyboards, guitar
