an outerspace man's autobiographical tune. it just came together riffs wise the chorus i had made up quite a bit earlier, but it never fit anywhere. ripped off the classic grunge quiet/loud dynamic.

now you'll be, Three Tymes Crazy. 2012 update so now its officially been 10 years sense i started writing and playing music. i take a wide range of influences,
now you are three tymes crazy Well the band will one day be revived, i've taken to keeping the name Three Tymes Crazy [and my stage name as vilbe]. Lets see some information? well i started playing guitar i think about 12 years ago now. infact my first guitar is sitting next to me, as over the years i modded the hell out of it [was a rockaxe i think? not sure, the headstock long ago became illegible]. i always had wanted a guitar, and took to it like an obsession for the majority of my younger teenage years. infact i believe my first ever recording [that i can find] comes from 2001. back then i barely knew any chords, or songs, but i had this desire to just make music. All the recordings, with the pure exception of experiment are my solo recordings. experiment is the only surviving recording of the original three tymes crazy. the name, and a band was breifly started up again in 2006 featuring "monday" [unless her name wants to be used], and "shifty". we wrote a few songs together, but never recorded anything. infact, we might of jammed like a dozen times. monday ended up never learning drums too good, and well shifty went his seperate way. i refer to this band as "the liquid pills". [although i recently learned that shifty finished the song "fuck you its monday"] i've had a few guitars over the years, and i'm basically starting over. i didn't play much actually between the years 2007-2011, which is a shame because for a while i had a jagstang and a sweet fender amp at my disposal. woulda been great payback to techno guys obnoxious music.... here i am though, older and wiser. looking back i can't believe i walked away from music. infact, a year ago if you'd of asked me if i'd get back into it, i'd probally of told you "nah i outgrew that long ago." well i picked up the guitar again, and it all came back. i owe my rekindling of music to meeting and befriending a musician on a cruise i went on a year ago. Greg Schlotthauer, he played pop songs on the piano. I bought his CD and found out i liked his original stuff even more. I could see the energy, the euphoria, that playing music gave him, and i wanted that back again. i've started writing songs again, and polishing up some of the ones i can still remember from my past. my goal this year is to finally make the album i've always intended to make. recently, i played an open mic nite 3 song set and it was both euphoric and nerve wracking. prior to that, i had only played songs to a couple of friends. i plan on playing live more often this year.

Story behind the song
note: this mixing of this song was done with 8 tracks, only two of which had no effects [still raw: man+acoustic guitar] done to them. each other track was used with an interesting effect, to try and capture the "spacey" feeling. enjoy [2012 update edit:] this song makes me laugh, as it was one of the first songs i ever wrote that had nothing to do with me or my life. i had just gotten into the flaming lips i believe. the guitar used on this recording was an ovation celebrity plugged straight into the box. i still actually play this song today. i like the sound of multi-tracks, but why limit ones self to 8?
Lyrics
floating in outer space venus, mars, it can just be ours and the stars begin to fade i'm an outerspace man baby from outerspace man baby i'm an outerspace man baby from outerspace man baby when your flying and trying and you feel just like dieing and the whole world has got you down coming in a place called home one more time don't you know i'm an outerspace man baby from outerspace man baby i'm an outerspace man baby from outerspace man baby when your flying and your trying and you feel just like dieing and the whole world has got you down and here i am, stareing between the moon and the sun saying that i'm the chosen one one more message and then i can go home i'm an outerspace man baby from outerspace man baby i'm an outerspace man baby from outerspace man baby when your flying and your trying and you feel just like dieing and the whole world has got you down
