    This is an extremely limited edition 2 LP set of Tears of Men in 180 gram audiophile Vinyl, replete with custom artwork. There are 250 in Black and 250 in Blue Colorlight (please specify which you'd prefer in your order). The black sounds slightly better, however, I may at some point repress in Black if there is demand, whereas the 250 in blue are the only ones that will ever exist. Of course, you'll also get a free digital copy of the album along with your purchase, but frankly, the Vinyl sounds infinitely better than the digital could ever dream to.

about

A cover of Yoko Kanno's "Heaven's Not Enough," from the soundtrack to Shinichiiro Watanabe's "Wolf's Rain." I am a notorious otaku and Watanabe has long been my favorite anime director, and Yoko Kanno has long been one of my favorite composers (anime related or otherwise). I'm a huge Yoko Kanno fanboy - I think she is one of the most capable, eclectic, prolific and inspiring composers of the modern era, and I try to make a point of owning her complete discography. I especially love the work she's done for Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain and Ghost In the Shell SAC, and I've decided to make it a point to cover one of her pieces for each of my studio releases. This being arguably my favorite is the first. I highly recommend you seek out and purchase the O.S.T., as it's a phenomenal work through and through. My version features a new arrangement, as well as some slight modifications to the lyrics, which you'll find below.

lyrics

Heaven's not enough
If when you get there
Just another blue...
And heaven's not enough
You think you've found it
And it loses you

You've thought of all there is
But not enough
And it loses you in a cloud

There most everything is nothing
That it seems
Where you see the things you only want to see

I'd fly away
To a higher plane
To say words I resist
To float away
Decide
To re-forget

And heaven's not enough
If when I'm there I don't remember you
And heaven does enough
You think you know it
And it uses you

I saw so many things
But like a dream
Always losing me in a cloud

Cause I couldn't cry
Cause I turned away
Couldn't see the score
Didn't know the pain
Of leaving yesterday really far behind
In another life
In another dream
By a different name
Gave it all away
For a memory
And a quiet life
And I felt the face
Of a cold tonight
Still don't know the score
But I know the pain
Of leaving everything really far behind
And if I could cry
And if I could live what truth I did then take me there
Heaven goodbye

Dev Avidon Brooklyn, New York

I am a composer, a writer, a singer and an engineer.
I create jazz and rock and a child of both.
I create music with my brother as Wire Spoke Wheels.
I create Dave's Cables
I create complex and intricate things.
I try to create beautiful things.
I create because Art sanctifies humanity.
I create for an American meritocracy.
I create for a time when art may live again. ... more
