The Editors of Life

An amalgam of anything that passes thru one ear and out the other -- see our Interview page for details.

In our music, you'll hopefully find everything -- rock, orchestral, trip-hop, spacey/ambient, whatever -- most times all in one tune!! Mwah-ha-ha.... We follow no labels, guidelines, trends -- we write what we feel at any given moment; industrial one moment, folk the next. You might hear smatterings of Floyd/Waters/Gilmour, a touch of Mike Nesmith, some Metheny, maybe even some Vangelis or 80's pop, classic rock, sheer noise, Air, Terje Rypdal, and if you really stretch in order to make us seem more relevant to the times, maybe some of The Shins, Sigur Ros, etc. Basically anything that makes a noise can inspire us.

Lyrics

You seem to be beside yourself.
What have I done to warrant this glare?
It seems to me you delude yourself.
What you see is simply the effect of the local night air.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I must be going.
Somehow I get this feeling that you'll somehow cramp my style.

I claim to be, in and of myself,
the defining zenith of Everyman.
I seem to be beside myself,
Trying to keep real contact minimized.

I'm sorry...
