A COMPLETELY REMASTERED COLLECTION OF CHOICE BLUE2NOISE TRACKS TO DATE
Over the years, we have fallen in love with the process of making music and recording together. It's hard to believe when looking back that Blue2Noise has recorded 35 songs and written nearly three times that amount in the span of nearly 20 years. Part New York indie rock, part shoegazer and part power-pop, we were always proud to put elements of the music we grew up on into our recordings.
As we embark on a brand new recording starting in 2010, we thought this collection would be a great way to either introduce or reacquaint you with Blue2Noise. All tracks in this collection have been completely remastered and embody a great summary of what Blue2Noise has been to date. Enjoy this glimpse into our past as we prepare for what lies ahead in the near future.
We also invite you to check out all of our past releases in their entirety to the right. All completely remastered and completely free. Feel free to write us at the link on the right and let us know what you think.
Rob, Kenny, Al & Fred

Don't really want to bother you
There I so much i can say to you
But not in this way
Allesandra can you hear
We're isolated when you whisper in my ear
Allesandra
I think that i should go away
Nothing interesting to say
To me it feels like we're alone
All these people may as well go home
To me it's silent
Allesandra can you hear
We're Isolated while I'm screaming in your ear
Allesandra
I think that i should go away
Nothing interesting to say
Track Name: Pontiac Crash
and it makes me sad
feeling numb inside
would you make up my mind
for me please…
does it make a difference
if it's wrong or right
i can't remember my smile
can you tell me why
i can't have you
can you tell me why
i can't believe in me
can you tell me why
i can't have you
should i even care?
just as metal
crushed like paper cups
i couldn't leave
so i stayed
i would walk barefoot for you
if you asked me to
i can't remember your smile
can you tell me why
i can't have you
can you tell me why
i can't believe in me
can you tell me why
i can't have you
should i even care?
that's when i saw
you made it back
you were so rude
all you could do
should i even care?
eventually i do
Track Name: Crabcake
I wanna fall down
But I can't believe myself
When I hit the ground
Broken Piece of glass
I've gone too far this time
And it wont be the last
I don't know and I don't care
Look at me but just don't stare
I'm ashamed, I feel your stare
But who am I to say that it's fair
Shattered. Left for dead
But i can't feel the pain
Through the pounding in my head
Show me what it's for
I keep going through the motions
It just gets me sore
I don't know and I don't care
Look at me but just don't stare
I'm ashamed, I feel your stare
But who am I to say that it's fair
Track Name: Winter
winter is coming too fast
i felt the cold (it crept up on me)
wind chills needle my face
it makes me numb
(and light in the head)
there was no easy way
this is the best thing
(or so you say)
you yanked my sun away
how can i just stand alone and freeze?
here within the cold
to die here in the cold
deep under icy waters
it's bad enough that i can't swim
i wish that i was stronger
i'd try to change things
as if i could
reminders are scattered around
each thing i see
(it brings it all back)
i had it under control
until it blew up in my face
here within the cold
to die here in the cold
deep under icy waters
it's bad enough that i can't swim
i wish that i was stronger
i'd try to change things
as if i could
too many years are wasted
to start over again
i hope it's worth it for you
to start over again
left here within the cold
to die here in the cold
deep under icy waters
it's bad enough that i can't swim
i wish that i was stronger
i'd try to change things
as if i could
Track Name: Out of Time
why do i always feel
like i'm out of time?
why do i always feel like i walk the same line every time?
i guess i'll never get the point
maybe there isn't one, you're so mixed up i can't help that
wish it didn't go this way
sometimes i just wish that things were simple happiness
why do i always feel
like i'm out of time?
why do i always feel like i walk the same line every time?
why do i always feel
like i'm out of time?
why do i always feel like i walk the same line every time?
why do i always feel
why do i always feel
why do i always feel
why do i always feel so low
Track Name: Shipbuilders and Tornados
I'm not immune
To all this sadness and this gloom
But every time you go i get closer to God
I shook his hand
Falling down
On my knees
Kick me out
Too blind to notice
Too busy to really care
Let's thread the needle
And mend our hearts again
Falling down
On my knees
Kick me out
Fake a smile and paint the walls
I'd do anything for you
Without you I'm so far gone
Without you I'm falling dead
Falling dead like a Christmas tree once again
Falling down
On my knees
Kick me out
Don't blame me if I do wrong
Don't crucify me
Track Name: Simpleton
Let me show you the things I know
And all the empty places that i go
I can't help notice how your eyes glow
An explosive package with a big bow
I try to hide it but it shows
It's not my fault if my mind is slow
Track Name: Floater
you fade some more
every day
your smile would fill the room
but it's fading away
and you won't recognize yourself
i can only hope you'll wait
will you have a place for me
the day i float away?
Track Name: Maria Has a Virus
So many people
Are waiting for me to fall
My senses are so bent
Suffocate me as a joke
And then I'm falling down
And then I walk away
Crawled beneath my skin
The vein is hungry again
Feeling just like a mole
Digging my six foot hole
Always tied to the door
Always feeling 1 foot tall
And then I'm falling down
And then I walk away
Crawled beneath my skin
The vein is hungry again
I swimmed across the sea
I swimmed so far away
Deep inside of me
Nothing really changes
And all my darkest moments
They fall into place
And all my colored drawings
Kick me in the head
Track Name: Out of Tune
In the water
I see a fine reflection of what I could be
From the silence
To the screams, you never said what you want from me
Hear me move
I'm out of tune
At the water, I stare awhile
Reflect upon a different song
I'll write it another time
When I don't get the words so wrong
Hear me move
I'm out of tune
Patience is what I ask from you
Track Name: December Eighth
Today a million angels fell
And I remember it so well
On a cold December morning
I need a warm summer day
On a cold December morning
I need a warm summer day
And did you ever wonder why?
Why the rain comes down this way?
On a cold December morning
I need a warm summer day
On a cold December morning
I need a warm summer day
Track Name: My Masterpiece
on the wall
all the colors intertwine
the shapes and lines
and all the images are mine
they're all mine
so many ways
with brushes words or vocal lines
to speak my mind
to say exactly how i feel
piece of me for you
to hang within your room
snapshot of my mind
snapshot of my life
with every try
i captivate you more and more
i cave in
and everyone can look inside
the worse i get
the better i express myself
they say these things
if i'm so brilliant tell my why
piece of me for you
hang within your room
snapshot of my mind
snapshot of my life
piece of you for me
plain for all to see
snapshot of my days
snapshot of my nights
on the wall
all the colors in my mind
the shapes and lines
and all the images are mine
but all this time
my only masterpiece was you
all this time
my only masterpiece was you
Track Name: Today Again
i wish it could rain again today
and i never want someone to feel
like the day that rolls around
i never want someone
i never need someone
i wish i could cry again today
it's the only time i feel
how you felt when you moved on
did you cry for me?
did you think of me?
today again my life came back to me
today again i didn't think of you
today again
the only time i feel you
the only time i'm near you
the only time i feel you
today again
i wish i could feel again today
and every time i cry
i feel it right down inside
did you want someone?
did you need someone?
today again my life came back to me
today again i didn't think of you
today again
the only time i feel you
the only time i'm near you
the only time i feel you
today again
