Crying My Eyes Out (Matt Pop Extended Dance Mix)


The Matt Pop disco-drenched dance floor club anthem version of Candy Apple Blue's Crying My Eyes Out debuts on January 15th, 2021! This very special extended dance mix was produced by Matt Pop and features a guest lead vocal performance by Nick Bramlett. "Crying My Eyes Out (Matt Pop Extended Dance Mix)" is taken from the forthcoming album, Second Sight. © & ℗ 2021 Mrix Muzik Records 

Music Review from MyFizzyPop:
"Well, this is all sorts of delicious. Candy Apple Blue (the only apple I want to take a bite out of) return with their trusty vocalist Nick Bramlett on the new single Crying My Eyes Out. This, teardrops on the disco floor, dance away the heartache, epic has been given a sassy remix by the adorable Matt Pop - and the combined talents of these folks come together to ensure the listener gets a gloriously swirling glitterball of a song."

"So many people have asked us to make this extended version happen. We would like to thank Matt Pop for taking the time out to do it. We were going to save it for the album only but thought it would be a great way to start off 2021! It has such a beautiful hopeful spirit. We hope that the song inspires you to get up and dance!" ~ Carly Emerick

Words & Music by Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick

Verse 1:
They say nothing ever stays the same
Cathartic tears are pourin' down like rain 
How could you walk away from a love so true?

Lead-In 1:
I've been thinking it over for some time
Gotta get you out of my mind
You've turned my red heart velvet blue
Ooh ooh

Chorus:
Crying my eyes out over you
But my faith in love will see me through
Crying my eyes out over you

Verse 2:
Moving on can be intimidating
You go through winter to get to spring
I've got to face the truth 
Gotta' let you go

Lead-In 2: 
I've been counting the hours since you left
It's time I acquiesce
I'll turn the page and start anew
Ooh ooh

Chorus:
Crying my eyes out over you
But my faith in love will see me through
Crying my eyes out over you 

Bridge:
Crying my eyes out over you
You've turned my red heart velvet blue
Crying my eyes out over you 
I'll turn the page and start anew
Crying my eyes out over you

Crying my eyes out over you

Chorus:
Crying my eyes out over you
But my faith in love will see me through
Crying my eyes out over you 

Ooh ooh

"Midnight Hour is a pop-rock new wave song about the end of the world. Its dark lyrical subject matter mirrors the uncertain times that we all live in.  It's about global warming, it's about mother nature, it's about karma, and it's about the wicked things that men do for profit. Hoyt and I wanted to write an anthem for 2020." ~ Carly Emerick (songwriter, half of Candy Apple Blue)

Lyrics

“Midnight Hour”
©2020 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by
Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick

Verse 1:
The full moon in the sky beckons me
as the nightbird takes to flight
The cleansing of the old was meant to be
We're all running out of time

Lead-In:
The powers that be that divide the sea
are coming for you and me

Chorus:
We're in the mid, midnight hour
Let's dance until we die, no one's getting out alive
We're in the mid, midnight hour
We'll never see the dawn, the world will soon be gone

Verse 2:
Apocalyptic tears fall from the sky
They've come to purify the earth
The gift of prophecy and second sight
forewarned us all of a rebirth

Lead-In 2:
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
We blew it. Now they're coming for us

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
The gods above us, where can you be?
Can you help us save humanity?
Mother nature although you've tried, mankind committed suicide

(Repeat Chorus)

Final Chorus:
We're in the mid, midnight hour
You can scream and close your eyes but it cannot be denied
We're in the mid, midnight hour
Judgment day is here, you have everything to fear
We're in the mid, midnight hour
Let's dance until we die, no one's getting out alive
We're in the mid, midnight hour
Yeah! Close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes and scream!

Lyrics

Words & Music by Carly Emerick

Verse 1:
I lay here in the darkness
A sad sad lonely room
I count my blessings one by one
(One by one, one by one)

Lead-in:
Then there's a light that hits my window
(My window's so cold)
It shines so brightly on my soul

Chorus:
Moon, light up my darkness
I have nowhere to go
I'm hoping you could show me the way
Moon, light up my darkness
Your blue vanilla sky is shimmering in my eyes

Verse 2:
Purple shades of velvet illuminate my gloom
I feel the healing has begun 
(has begun, it has begun)

Lead-in 2:
But there's a monster in my closet
(My monster is old)
I keep him chained won't let him go

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge: 
Blue vanilla sky, blue vanilla sky

(Repeat Chorus)

Ad-lib:
Moon, light up my darkness
I'm really lucky to see you shine tonight
I'm really lucky to see you shine tonight
Moon, light up my darkness
I'll brave the morning light if you stay with me through the night
Moon, light up my darkness

Limited Signature Edition of Powers Activate by Cassette Comeback




Hoyt of Candy Apple Blue discusses the band's release of the Limited Signature Edition of Powers Activate on cassette tape by Cassette Comeback.

This collectible item will be exclusively available on our Bandcamp merch table starting Friday, July 3rd, 2020: https://candyappleblue.bandcamp.com/merch

We worked closely with Tony from Cassette Comeback to bring you a very exclusive and very limited run of Powers Activate on cassette tape.

This special edition 20-Track release includes bonus content that is not available on the Compact Disc version. Including the brand new Juno Dreams 2020 Re-Remix of Let's Dance All Night that is currently only available on this release.

The U-Cards are signed by both of us! We have individually signed each cassette which is also individually numbered. (Numbers: 01/30 all the way through 30/30) So this is a Limited Signature Edition.

Each cassette will include the official "hologram gold foiled" stickers on both the U-Card and the tape itself indicating that this is a genuine SSQ (Single Speed Quality) cassette tape from Cassette Comeback.

These cassettes sound better than any other commercial release. Here's why:

1. They are recorded on brand new, but vintage, cassettes from 1990. We used the Sony UX Type II (CrO2) Position High Bias Extra Uniaxial cassette tape. The tape in these is much better than the Chinese tape that commercial duplicators use.

2. The cassettes are duplicated at Single Speed Quality, not at up to 24x speed like with a duplicator. The high-speed dubbing method done on commercial releases might save time but it does have negative consequences on sound quality. These SSQ tapes, hands down, sound better than commercial releases.

3. The vintage white clamshells are so much cooler than the modern ones and you will have nostalgia for them. They are mini versions of the VHS clamshells that housed your favorite Walt Disney movies growing up. Please note, that these cases are new old stock and can be fragile, so please, handle them with care.

4. The decks they are recorded on are 3-head decks. The Marantz PMD520 3-head decks are some of the finest cassette decks ever made.

5. The decks are calibrated specifically to the tape formulation of the Sony UX Type II cassette.

So in conclusion, classic cassettes, recorded at single speed, on some of the best decks ever made, and that are calibrated to the tape itself are high-quality premium products.

Having our studio album, Powers Activate, take a dive into the analog world is a real treat for us. For the perfect tape saturation sound our music was recorded at the sweet spot of +3db to take the digital "edge" off of the recordings. The songs sound gorgeous transferred over to analog. They say there's nothing like the real thing and they are right. Don't miss out on your chance to own one of these highly collectible cassettes!

There is a purchasing limit of 1 per customer due to their limited availability. This is a true Candy Apple Blue collectible item!

Cassette Comeback (UK & Canada) is the world's No. 1 blank cassette retail website.
https://www.cassettecomeback.com/pages/ssq

Cassette Comeback runs the biggest cassette tape focussed channel on YouTube. To find out more about the SSQ quality watch this video:

Intro Chorus:
Let's turn on the night, We can rendezvous
Let's turn on the night (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Verse Rap 1:
The streets are dark and empty, my throat is tight
There's no one else out here walking but me tonight
And I can feel in the air impending doom
High-resolution movie coming soon

Lead-In 1:
Black and white I dream in film noir
William Holden is my co-star

Chorus:
Let's turn on the night, We can rendezvous (Let's turn on the night)
Let's turn on the night (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Verse Rap 2:
The clock reads half past midnight, I place my bet
In my mind are moving pictures I can't forget
Witness for the Prosecution, From Out of the Past,
Sunset Boulevard, The Face Behind the Mask

Lead-In 2:
Fight or flight I hide the smoking gun
Close the blinds block out the morning sun

(Repeat Chorus)

Lead-In 3:
Black and white I dream in film noir
Marlene Dietrich is my co-star

(Repeat Chorus)

Ad-lib:
The clock reads half past midnight, I place my bet
In my mind are moving pictures I can't forget
The streets are dark and empty, my throat is tight
There's no one else out here walking but me tonight

Come on and turn me on, before the night is gone
I wanna feel your body tremble for me
Come on and turn me on, before the night is gone
I wanna feel your body tremble for me

I wanna see you turn it on!

Carly of Candy Apple Blue - Turn on the Night

We are working hard on editing the music video now for our forthcoming single "Turn on the Night". Because of the social distancing act, we did it all via green screen. Hoyt and I hope you are in the mood for a feel-good upbeat song? ~ Carly

Game Over (Official Lyric Video)




Game Over is a breakup song about a relationship that has gone terribly wrong. It's heartbreaking when you find out you've been cheated on, manipulated, lied to, and used. If you're in a bad relationship with a narcissist, have enough dignity to walk away. 

Game Over is out now: https://song.link/i/1486379869

The Story Behind the Making of the Music Video for Taking It to Heart



The story behind the making of the music video for Taking It to Heart.

The music video was shot and edited during the onset of the Coronavirus outbreak. At first, we were at odds with putting out a new song during this difficult international crisis. We sought out the opinion of the people in our inner circle and they all told us that it was a tasteful decision to release it. Together we ultimately decided to put out our new song because we felt it had a nice calming and relaxing vibe to it.

We knew that the song would fair better with a proper music video. However, social distancing was now being advised by our nation. So that put us in a tough spot. We came up with the idea that Apollo Rogers could film the segments in Canton, Ohio on his end and we could edit them together here on our end here in Pittsburgh, PA. It would keep us all artistically busy if only for a little while.

The end result (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps0DXBHhFIs) became an abstract sort of statement about emotional healing, alternative medicine, physical fitness, and mental well being. Here are some of the raw video clips that we used to make the magic happen. These clips are set to the beautiful a cappella version of Taking It to Heart sung by Apollo with so much heart.

Stay safe, Candy Apple Blue

Words & Music by Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick

Verse 1:
Can you tell me where to go when the road comes to an end?
Cause you told me that it's over, as the highway twists and bends
If only I knew how to lie, then at least I'd have a choice
But the truth is masquerading in the silence of my voice

Lead-In 1:
And I feel just a little bit lost as we suddenly drift apart
Cause you can't take back the words you said so I'm taking it to heart
I'm taking it to heart, you better believe that I'm taking it to heart

Chorus (Middle 8 Section):
Cause all the promises have been broken
I've been brutally awakened by your heartless and your cold goodbye
I was planning for eternal bliss, been deceived by your wicked kiss
You can tell me that you never meant to hurt me as I'm breaking apart
But ooh ooh, I'm taking it to heart, I said ooh, I'm taking it to heart

Lead-In 2:
You said that the two of us are over and you're gonna make a brand new start
No, you can't, take back the words you said so I'm taking it to heart
I'm taking it to heart, you better believe that I'm taking it to heart

(Repeat Chorus)

Ad-lib:
Taking it, taking it to heart now,
I've learned my lesson and I'm moving on right now
Taking it to heart, taking it to heart, taking it to heart
No, you can't take it back

Ending:
ooh ooh, I'm taking it to heart, I said ooh, I'm taking it to heart

Lyrics:

“Game Over”
©2019 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
All Rights Reserved. 
Words & Music by Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick

Verse 1:
All signs point to there's no turning back 
You've done enough damage maniacal maniac

Lead In:
I have enough dignity to walk away
I won't put up with this for one more day

Chorus:
Game over, I don't want you back
Game over, no counter-attack
You wasted my time, I feel so betrayed
Now you have to sleep in the bed you made
Game over, (over)
Game over, (over)
 
Verse 2:
Out of control, egotistical you
Knowing all along your lies were not true

Lead In 2:
There's no more pieces or moves left to make
Now you have put yourself into checkmate

Chorus:
Game over, I don't want you back
Game over, no counter-attack
You wasted my time, I feel so betrayed
Now you have to sleep in the bed you made
Game over, (over)
Game over, (over)
 
Lead In 3:
I gave up hoping that you'd ever change
The whole situation was sick and deranged

Chorus:
Game over, I don't want you back
Game over, no counter-attack
You wasted my time, I feel so betrayed
Now you have to sleep in the bed you made
Game over, (over)
Game over, (over)

Ad-libs:
Back, back don't want you back
No counter-attack
So Betrayed
The bed, the bed that you made
