PS119

Acoustic folk rock

Tigerside Up is acoustic guitar based electronica in folk song structure.

The first album is PS 119. It was recorded on an 8-track in my parents basement when I was playing bass for Awasunexpected. It's an instrumental peice composed of 22 short songs. Each song corresponds to a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Chapter 119 in the book of Psalms has 22 sections, and it's poetic structure inspired me. I wrote PS 119 with a sequential chord structure that links all the songs together. The chords in bold will show what that pattern is.

1. Aleph like a tortise. The songs in this group reflect adaptability, hopefulness, bravery, stability, protection and simplicity. Tunes for Turtles.

The Tigerside Up music is available to my personal friends and family only. Email me at tigersideup@gmail.com if you would like a copy of any of the cd's and I will provide you with a ;link so you can download them or play them in a web browser.

I'm building a webpage for the Tigerside Up and Pesterons projects that will be easier to navigate than the Soundclick and Myspace sites.

Story behind the song

The longest chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119, has 22 chapters.  Each chapter is named after a letter of the Hebrew alphabet.  In the Hebrew writing of Psalm 119, the first letter of each stanza begins with the letter of the chapter it is written in.
I was inspired to write songs that would follow a pattern linking them all together.
The result of that inspiration is PS 119.

Lyrics

Heth 
 57 You are my portion, O LORD; 
       I have promised to obey your words. 
 58 I have sought your face with all my heart; 
       be gracious to me according to your promise. 
 59 I have considered my ways 
       and have turned my steps to your statutes. 
 60 I will hasten and not delay 
       to obey your commands. 
 61 Though the wicked bind me with ropes, 
       I will not forget your law. 
 62 At midnight I rise to give you thanks 
       for your righteous laws. 
 63 I am a friend to all who fear you, 
       to all who follow your precepts. 
 64 The earth is filled with your love, O LORD; 
       teach me your decrees.
