Light Machine (Aguirre) With a love like that It’s easy it seems along the way Hoping the boogeyman don’t show Feeling the need to plant the seed of hide and seek Illusions of manna along the way Watching the sand of deserts grow Now’s the time to renew the mind again Rhetorically pronouncing one’s dismay Confessions of a lonely one we no longer need With a love like that I’m never alone or feel afraid Even the boogeyman don’t know Sowing the seed among the weeds is like hide and seek And as for the man along the way Lover I died that you would know Mind the time til the Wine comes back again Historically renouncing one’s delay The Right among the night of darker yesterdays Confessions of the One They call me the Light Machine
2.
Turn and Remember (Aguirre) Turn and remember Turn to me and be gracious to me Turn to me I am lonely Turn to me in my distress Turn to me in my anguish Remember Your great mercy and love Remember not the sins of my youth Remember me according to Your love Remember me at the end Turn and remember
3.
Because of You (Aguirre) So many times I think of all the ways and how you fed my mind And though it’s through I try so hard to not remember The more I do The less I miss the times when I believed in you And now I know That all you ever said was never Something I ever needed Appreciated And now I’ve made it No longer tainted Because of You I close my eyes And think of all the ways and how You feed my mind With all that’s True To make it easy to remember And when I do The more I long for times when I’m alone in You And how I’ll die If I don’t keep Your words forever Something I never needed Appreciated And now I’ve made it Been liberated Emancipated Reincarnated Because of You So many times I’ve closed my eyes and wished the world could see You too And if they would Thank God they’ve made it Because of You

The Dreaming 06:46
The Dreaming (Aguirre, Rosentrater) I stand atop suspended The morning dew upon my shoes While perched on high ascended The sky below a crimson hue And as the heights continue A Caspian air enwraps me through Now as I stand suspended My open eyes encounter You What can I do? I stood alone defenseless My mind a voidless solitude Like Ransom long before me The sight restrained my latitude And when I thought I’d falter A thunderous sound awakened youth So there I stood defenseless My open ears encountering You What should I do? I listened hard and restless I listened heard like eating food And as I swallowed substance The sound of Terrans chimed anew What can we do? I woke to muddled senses My faceless glow The mark of You
5.
Morning Star 03:55
Morning Star (Aguirre, Tunnell) In reflections through a tainted glass I take it in stride Many stop to ponder willingly at the One they disguise Adulation Comes in so many sizes And in the end we’ll bow on bended knee to the Giver of Life Keeper of innocence Bright Morning Star You know how I love You Seeker searching for some definition Some meaning and light While on the other hand I long to listen with a spirit contrite Fascination Comes in so many vices And in the end myself and seeker will stand before the Giver of Life Sleeper in darkness Come as you are You know how He longs for you More precious than anything Like the heavens above Find me content in the glow of Your love Sleeper in darkness Come as you are You know how He longs for you Keeper of innocence Bright Morning Star You know how I love You
6.
Everything 06:16
Everything (Aguirre, Kelly) Can you catch him by the eyes Or trap him and pierce his nose Can you pull him in with a hook Or tie down his tongue with a rope Everything Under heaven Can you put a cord through his nose Or pierce his jaw with a fishhook Can you make him a pet like a bird Or put him on a leash for your girls Everything Under heaven Everything Belongs to Me
7.
Ophelia 03:40
Ophelia (Aguirre, Tunnell) Voices as loud as feathers Soft as a raging sea Eyes the color of missing you Sometimes it threatens me And the scenery is begging to give it some life I tug on the curtain while telling me all of your lies And the Dreaming drowns in the whites of your eyes Out comes the silver lining we’ll never survive Oh my Touching is like a window Scratch me and watch me bleed Pour me out bright as the midnight And you’ll see my side And the feelings are stretching to give it some life Can’t keep the story growing the laughter denies So I’m dreaming bound by the night of your eyes Back on the rack making promises Speaking of love Oh my Ophelia
8.
(Looks Like) We Made It (Aguirre) Non stop and it feels right Late nights and twilights Such a long way to the haunting grounds of old Cigarettes and the FM Rearview and headlights Such a long way but we’ll get there just the same Looks like we made it Full speed to the countdown Kilometers and black ground Any day now and we’ll kiss the path goodbye Non stop and it feels right Late nights and twilights Baby stay away till the engine settles down Motorcity just another town to town Backstreet boys leave me spinning round and round Giddy up cowboy don’t cha worry ‘bout how to steer I’m a back seat driver I’m the passenger is all I hear
9.
Song for my Children (Aguirre) Such a delicate little hopeful full of life Starting with a solitary cry So eager to learn To love To Like a flower It seems like the time the children crying Dying Again A compassionate little soul full of delight Taking the steps of independent life So willing to fall to tumble By the hour I know it’s the time for children growing and leaving My friend Again You don’t really know how fast the time flies ‘til you look in their eyes Innocent and vulnerable one day Then what a surprise It’s so hard to believe someone has taken your baby away When you realize that delicate hopeful has grown up today Such a confident little handful facing life And it started with a solitary cry So eager to learn To live To Like a tower I remember the times my children crying Smiling My friend Again You don’t really know how fast the time flies ‘til you look in their eyes Innocent and vulnerable one day Then what a surprise It’s so hard to believe someone has taken your baby away When you realize that delicate hopeful has grown up today
10.
And I Go 07:49
And I Go (Aguirre, Rosentrater) Looking to cross the water Looking to dot my I’s Looking to avoid the slaughter Damned blinding council of flies Wishing for the cup of Water Wishing for a wishing well I’m wishing for the One I love (to find me one day_) Beloved subject to Tell And I go I’m finding consolation I’m finding peace of heart Finding is such a piece of illusion Was lost but now I’m Art Iron Grey has a way of rusting Any day and the brittle will show Yesterday no longer slapping Broadside and I’m ready to go I nearly kept the cadence Subjecting you to poetic drivel and boredom God I can’t stand the boredom Does anybody really know the Way? The way to the straight and narrow The way without wishing and looking The Way that’s easy to Tell And I go And when I go I’m going to fly Up in the sky Sweet by and by I’m going to fly In the sky Sweet by and by

Mercy 03:14
Mercy (Aguirre) You have made me Your hands have shaped me You’ve molded me like clay With skin You’ve clothed me With bones You’ve knit me Fearfully wonderfully made My only plea My only plea is mercy Orion maker The Bear caretaker Treader of the waves of the sea You’re mountain shaker and heaven stretcher When You pass it’s so hard to see My only plea My only plea is mercy
13.
One and Only 02:39
One and Only (Aguirre) Chew the fat though I know it’s thin Rest assured we are all but aging Take my hand while I born-again and crave devotion You make it hard to breathe You’re altogether Lovely And with my life believe You’ll be my One and only One So light the candle brighter and brighter Fan the flame inside of me This and that ‘cause I know it’s in Jimmy says we are all the raging Take my hand should I bleed again or lack emotion You make it hard to breathe You’re altogether Lovely And with my life believe You’ll be my One and only One So light the candle brighter and brighter Fan the flame inside of me
14.
Stymie 03:42
Stymie (Aguirre) He called me over like watching dailies He swallowed fire claiming he wouldn’t burn And as I followed choking the ashes I nearly lost my ride Where does your love go Where does your allegiance lie Who does your heart hold Who’s gonna kiss the sky for me Swimming shark-infested waters Kissing all the creature features Sleeping with Gomorrah’s daughters Eating with the fattened preachers Stymie He brought a briefcase That sinking feeling I tried to watch him with that look in his eyes And as I followed the heebie-jeebies I finally looked to my side Where does your love go Where does your allegiance lie Who does your heart hold Who’s gonna crack the sky for me Swimming shark-infested waters Kissing all the creature features Sleeping with Gomorrah’s daughters Eating with the fattened preachers Stymie Where does your love go Who’s gonna crack the sky
15.
Come Away 03:13
Come Away (Aguirre) Arise my darling My beautiful one Come away with me See how the winter has passed and the rains are over and gone Come away with me Come away with me The flowers are blooming They dance with the dew and the voice of the dove has been heard Come away with me Arise my darling My beautiful one Come away with me Come away my beautiful one
16.
I Will Love You (Aguirre) You watch me when I wake Pick me up if I make a mistake and I believe You You’ll catch me should I fall You’re the light when the night is darkest of all So I will love You I will love You You promise love and grace And the power to run the race and I believe You You’ll catch me should I fall You’re the light when the night is darkest of all So I will love you I will love You I will love You
17.
Vacant Places (Aguirre) I will fill your vacant places

about

Spy Glass Blüe has been an underground favorite for many years but never has sounded as fully realized and intentional as they do on Loud As Feathers.
All of the Ziggy Stardust meets Mott The Hoople, meets Iggy Pop meets Siouxie and the Banshees elements have soaked together long enough to take on their own piquant blush. This is a new, thoroughly engaging, and amazing Spy Glass Blüe that will certainly be influencing new generations of bands the way Scaterd Few did over a decade ago.

about

Spy Glass Blüe Dallas, Texas

It is no secret that by the time Sin Disease found its way into music stores, Aguirre had been playing the LA club scene with his band Cygnet. The average music enthusiasts tends to regard Scaterd Few as a big fish in a small pond. However, Aguirre gravitated towards dark wave, playing alongside bands like Jane’s Addiction. Years later, Cygnet ended up evolving into the moniker Spy Glass Blüe. ... more
