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

Nun 
 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet 
       and a light for my path. 
 106 I have taken an oath and confirmed it, 
       that I will follow your righteous laws. 
 107 I have suffered much; 
       preserve my life, O LORD, according to your word. 
 108 Accept, O LORD, the willing praise of my mouth, 
       and teach me your laws. 
 109 Though I constantly take my life in my hands, 
       I will not forget your law. 
 110 The wicked have set a snare for me, 
       but I have not strayed from your precepts. 
 111 Your statutes are my heritage forever; 
       they are the joy of my heart. 
 112 My heart is set on keeping your decrees 
       to the very end.
