The Feeling Doesn't Last Forever

 

Candy Apple Blue - The Feeling Doesn't Last Forever

The Feeling Doesn't Last Forever was a song that Hoyt & I composed with so much love and enthusiasm. We wrote the song for a Barbra Streisand type vocalist but decided to demo it ourselves. The track had more of a sophisticated edge to it which admittedly wasn't right for our band project, Candy Apple Blue. For a short time only it was available for download.

The demo that we put out was a little rough, we didn't really nail it vocally and thought it best to just pull it until we find the right singer for this particular song. We want to thank all of our friends for their wonderful input, support and love for the song! Hopefully you haven't heard the last of it.

Lyrics

“I Don’t Know How To Say Goodbye”
© 2012 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
Words & Music by Carly Emerick & Hoyt Emerick

Verse 1:
I don’t know how I’m gonna live without you
You know how much I care about you
You fell apart like a broken toy
But the thought that you’re gone forever leaves me destroyed

Lead In 1:
My hands shake, my heart breaks but still I try (still I try)
to let you go into the light
I feel weak and helpless, choked up inside (choked up inside)
I don’t know how to say goodbye

Chorus:
I don’t know how to say goodbye (don’t know goodbye)
I don’t know how to say goodbye
Don’t know how to say goodbye

Verse 2:
I don’t know why I feel so damn numb
when I could cry a river and then some
Our time together was a precious gift
But I never could imagine it would end like this

Lead In 2:
My hands shake, my heart breaks but still I try (still I try)
To let you go in the fading light
I feel weak and helpless, choked up inside (choked up inside)
I don’t know how to say goodbye

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
I will miss you always in my dark despair
Yet I know you’re no longer there
The hands of time are spinning to you everyday
And every moment gets taken away, gets taken away

(Repeat Chorus)

“Touch My Heart”
©2012 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
Words & Music By Carly Emerick & Hoyt Emerick

Verse One:
Oh every time I think of you and I
I sparkle like a diamond that shimmers in the light
You're so good to me how can this be real?
No I don't need to over think the feelings that I feel

Lead In:
(Feel) all the time when the thought of you's inhabiting my mind
(Fall) against my skin and when you're finished I want it again

Chorus:
You touch my heart (Oh how you touch it baby)
You touch my heart (Touch my heart)
You touch my heart (I wanna be you're only lady)
My heart, my heart (Ooo-ooo)
t-t-touch me touch my heart
t-t-touch me touch my heart

Verse Two:
The body is the garden of the soul
I'm pulled into a passion I'm under your control
A circumstance that no one can deny
We're written in the book of love, no we don't have to try

Lead In:
(Try) all the time, it seems like you can almost read my mind
(Kiss) me again, cause your love is a race I have to win

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
I'm hot, touch it, touch my heart (x4)
Touch my heart like a fire starts you burn inside of me
The flames of love are burning for us eternally
Touch my heart ignite the sparks come on turn me on
It's the rhythm of pure passion that we feast upon

(Repeat Chorus)

Falling From Infatuation (Artwork)

Candy Apple Blue - Falling From Infatuation (taken from "Night Tracks")

"Falling From Infatuation" is a R&B flavored synthpop song. Hoyt and I always loved the 1985 Diana Ross album, Eaten Alive (Mostly written & produced The Bee Gees). We wanted to write something with a similar vibe as Eaten Alive, Chain Reaction, and Crime Of Passion. Something sassy, confident and catchy. So we composed the song, "Falling From Infatuation" in the spirit of that album. ~ Carly Emerick

lyrics
“Rock & Roll Heart Attack”
©2012 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
Words & Music By Carly Emerick & Hoyt Emerick

Verse 1:
I overdosed on a Saturday night
In the rear view mirror there’s flashing lights
I ditched the cop and I ran from the car
Got to the concert and I hit bar!

Lead In:
Hold on hold on, cuz the beat has got it
That slide guitar just drives me wild
Hold on hold on, cuz I feel one coming
Turn it up cuz I like it loud

Chorus:
Rock & Roll Heart Attack
Don’t try to save me cuz I ain’t coming back
You know want it, it’s a matter of fact
Rock & Roll Heart Attack
Rock & Roll Heart Attack

Verse 2:
The ink is drying on my “Crue” tattoo
Those leather pants are looking good on you
We’re making out in the bathroom stall
Security cameras caught it all

Lead In 2:
Hold on hold on, cuz the beat has got it
Exploding pyrotechnics too
Hold on hold on, cuz I feel one coming!
My heart is pounding like a drum for you

Chorus 2:
Rock & Roll Heart Attack
Don’t try to save me cuz I ain’t coming back
You know want it, it’s a matter of fact
Rock & Roll Heart Attack

Rock & Roll Heart Attack
Too much Coke and too much Jack
You know you love it, it’s a matter of fact
Rock & Roll Heart Attack
Rock & Roll Heart Attack

Bridge Rap:
I’ve got a fresh pack of cigarettes I’m dancing on the floor
Living in this moment like I never lived before
And everyone surrounds me as I do the bump and grind
Hot boys and hot girls going out of their minds

Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock & Roll Heart Attack! ( x4)

Chorus 3:
Rock & Roll Heart Attack
Nothing can save you cuz you ain’t coming back
You know want it, it’s a matter of fact
Rock & Roll Heart Attack

Rock & Roll Heart Attack
Too much Coke and too much Jack
You know you love it, it’s a matter of fact
Rock & Roll Heart Attack
Rock & Roll Heart Attack

One Year Anniversary of Graveyard

Candy Apple Blue - Graveyard (Matt Pop Mix)

To celebrate the one year anniversary of Graveyard and the special Matt Pop mix we decided to remaster the music video and put the song back up on iTunes for continued digital distribution.

We are so thrilled with how well the song has been received.  "Graveyard" is a quirky uptempo fun electropop / synthpop song about a girl who's lover left her.



Reviews:
"Love the synth back beat. Very retro feel. Also digging the musical refrain. Synched nicely with the uptempo synth." ~ Miami Suds

"Graveyard is definitely resurrecting the ghosts of Debbie Harry and Kim Wilde's 1980's past!" ~ Chris Rosvall

Lyrics:

"Graveyard"
© 2011, 2010 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
Words and Music by Carly Emerick & Hoyt Emerick

You left your black candles burning
And your tarot cards on the floor!
You left the window wide open
You forgot to lock the door!

The way you ran out of here
I'd say it's perfectly clear that I've seen the last of you!
Did you evaporize? Now your immortalized...
Another mystery... without a clue

So let me tell you what I'm gonna do
Erect a temple in the absence of you!
Believe me baby oh where you left my heart was...

CHORUS:
In the Graveyard... full of plastic flowers
In the Graveyard... no after hours
In the Graveyard... I'm buried next to you!
I'm in the graveyard. (look out, look out)
I'm in the graveyard.

You left the portrait you painted up above the fireplace.
The answering machine message is gonna need erased!

You could have left me a note, or some Morrissey quote like...
"You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby!"
Then at least I would know you didn't love me so...
I could get over you... But I'm not through

So let me tell you what I'm gonna do
Erect a temple in the absence of you!
Believe me baby oh where you left my heart was...

(Repeat Chorus)

Spoken Break Down:
And now I lay you down to sleep...
I pray your soul will rot in hell

(Repeat Chorus)

Graveyard is from our debut album, "Prone To Panic!"

Bop 2 Pop "Mistaken" Review

"Finally, we have SIRPAUL, one half of Simulover, whose sexy track Tourniquet made our list of top singles of the 2011. He enlists the assistance of the always amazing Candy Apple Blue for a new track, Mistaken. We are particularly taken by the Candy Apple Blue 86 Mix." ~ Bop2Pop

SIRPAUL "Mistaken" (feat. Candy Apple Blue)

A year after we finished the remix for SIRPAUL's Mistaken it was finally released. HURRAY! The day it debuted on Soundcloud it was greatly received with so much excitement. 

We are really proud that people embraced the song they way that they did. It made a very notable impression and was featured on Bop2Pop,  Dave Greening's Mid Week Ten and The House Of Sobel to name a few. 

Our supporters really cherished the remix and for a hot minute there it really looked like it was about to take off. It was track three off of the Remix EP. However with little promotion and no music video the Mistaken "White Label EP"  found it hard to lift itself off the ground.  

We are very proud to have united on an official single with SIRPAUL! Now how cool is that! Be sure to check out our very special remix below.

Hello, How Are You?

Happy New Year and know that we are all connected.
Welcoming in 2012 with open arms! ~ Candy Apple Blue

"Writing this song with Junefall was as about natural as a tulip blooming in the spring. It's a song about second chances and starting over. I hope its positive vibes are a good omen for everyone in 2012. We wanted to compose something about mother earth without being judgmental or preachy. Is this song about tree hugging? You bet!" ~ Carly Emerick

"Hello, How Are You?"
© 2012 LEONARDO LOMBARDI & MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by Leonardo Lombardi, Carly Emerick & Hoyt Emerick

Verse 1:
How many lives have you touched for the better ask yourself?
Did you make that person hurt or make them happy?
Do you stand up for what's right or just go with the crowd?
Will you make a difference in life or die unnoticed?

Lead In:
I take a breath before I pray at night (pray at night)
I lay in the dark and wait for an answer
I see your footprints by the ocean side (ocean side)
And the waves pull into the happy ever after

Chorus:
Hello, how are you? Do you think like I do?
Hello, how are you? Can we be friends?
Hello, how are you? Can we start a new?
Can we live in harmony before this whole world ends?

Verse 2:
If I promise to be kind and help you when I can
Will you treat each living thing like your equal man?
I will be there when you're old and cannot help yourself
But you must believe in me, I believe in you

Lead In 2:
I'm not asking you to change the world (change the world)
But you've got to start trying
There's a chance this wound can still be healed (still be healed)
There is only time between the living and the dying

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
I watch the people come and go
I wonder if I'll come to know?

(Repeat Chorus)

Ad-lib:
Hello, How Are You?
Hello, How Are You?
Hello, How Are You?
