Once a member of Verga, Once a member of Jahana, Once a member of Violent Minds, Now i'm just trying to do my own thing
Little Yang is my alter ego. Here are songs I've been working on recently or from bands I've been in in the past. I started playing guitar and always wanted to be a shoegazer god. I became a shoepolishing god instead. This is the next to the next best thing.

Story behind the song
An ode to Mark Sandman of Morphine. I was tooling around with some Morphine songs and came up with two riffs that sounded like something Mark Sandman would write. So, I expanded them into a song and decided to make it about him, since I consider his loss to be one of the greatest losses to music in the last 20 years. A woman named Buzz sings on this one.
Lyrics
(1st verse) Hey brother child where did you go? Hey brother child I’m so alone? (Chorus riff) And I said “Hey, why does the quicksand sink so fast.” And I said, “Hey, why does the quicksand sink so fast.” (second verse) There’s truth in the water in the sea Truth in the voice surrounding me Truth on the wire now Truth in the spire now Truth getting higher for all to see (chorus) (Quiet interlude vocals) Poet child so soft and mild?Languid walking over tiles Languid walking over tiles Languid walking over tiles (3rd Verse) There’s a hole in the wire the keeps me warm Connection to the truth has now been torn Chorus Chorus
