"It all began with wires and flares, the virus spread
The images flew out of the sets
In every home, in every spot with worms and rats
the lepper stuck inside their brains
Not all the boys, not all the girls were drove insane
There's plenty that just didn't care
They live their lives, they love their wives, they lead them blind
A hope to neutralize the threat
The Smiths and the cure
The Smiths and the cure
The Smiths and the cure
Rings bell on smantic calls
The Smiths and the cure
And nobody wants to die
on a double-decked coffin in the dark of overcrowded London yards.
Nobody wants, they might
bow to find that penny
you drop from the eye
you won't stand to say goodbye
The line is dead do undestand that something changed
Still rumors are alive and cross the land
William, Keats and Joan of Arc are back together
They're waiting for Cleopatra to get Wilde
They pulled their socks, they made it work, it was defeated
The anemics got free from evil funks
The new romantic cult stares at Manchester strange ways
They're back from graves to dance, that's what they get...
The Smiths and the cure..."
about
Helmed by one Mark Zonda, Tiny Tide is a pop band from the beautiful Italian city of Cesena. Their illustrious beats flow through the orchestral strings like rivers running through towns.
Under their belt, Tiny Tide have released two EPs, The Ronta EP (2008) and the recently released The Wildheart EP. This EP is an electronic experience through the eyes of Wildheart, their arranger. The Wildheart EP, clocking in at just about 30 minutes, goes through a variety of styles that embody the potential and energy of Tiny Tide.
The first single is especially evident of that, "The Smiths and the Cure". It sounds eerily similar to a Smiths song and a Cure song, but it is still in fact Tiny Tides! Segueing into the song "I Would Say" is almost an electronic psychedelic pop song, full of vibrant sounds and soaring effects. "Yuriko Has Come To Town" is actually more of a 'club anthem' than anything on the album. I can see epic remixes from peeps. Slowing it down with "Tiny Trains" in an elegant electro ballad. Though short in length, "Needful Things" is one of the stronger songs on the EP. Zonda's vocals style is most exemplified during this brief 3 minute tune.
But, I think the most infectious song is "February", where vocal duties are shared between Zonda and Simona Rovida. Rovida's sweet and soft voice helps this song out a lot. "Road to Fairies" is where everything seems to be winding down. The finger-picking in this song and the beautiful chords in the back are ideal.
The echoing words from Zonda make a short appearance, and the rest are the awesome strings! Following suite, "Do Mean It's A Mess", utilizes Rovida more for harmonizing alongside Zonda, laid back against some more finger-picking and other little instruments. Altogether, this EP has a very 'full band' feel, even though the simple songs. Support this artist. Buy their EP!
