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

Teth 
 65 Do good to your servant 
       according to your word, O LORD. 
 66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment, 
       for I believe in your commands. 
 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, 
       but now I obey your word. 
 68 You are good, and what you do is good; 
       teach me your decrees. 
 69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, 
       I keep your precepts with all my heart. 
 70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, 
       but I delight in your law. 
 71 It was good for me to be afflicted 
       so that I might learn your decrees. 
 72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me 
       than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
