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

Ayin 
 121 I have done what is righteous and just; 
       do not leave me to my oppressors. 
 122 Ensure your servant's well-being; 
       let not the arrogant oppress me. 
 123 My eyes fail, looking for your salvation, 
       looking for your righteous promise. 
 124 Deal with your servant according to your love 
       and teach me your decrees. 
 125 I am your servant; give me discernment 
       that I may understand your statutes. 
 126 It is time for you to act, O LORD; 
       your law is being broken. 
 127 Because I love your commands 
       more than gold, more than pure gold, 
 128 and because I consider all your precepts right, 
       I hate every wrong path.
