Here you’ll find some of Das Binky’s favorite electronic tunes. Some of these are written by the Das Binky Recording Collective, others are just performed.
I’m calling this stuff electronica because most or all of the sounds involved come from electronic instruments. At their core, they’re all pop tunes. The line between genres is sometimes razor thin; you’ll find things here you might put in Pop, or the Everything else category.
All sound files are demos, except for album tracks, which generally provide samples.
| Awakening Bethlehem. Lyrics by Das Binky, Music and Performance by Das Binky and Kristian Børresen. Available on the album Divide the Storm |
LyricsI see the hole in your dream I see the great beyond ripping at its seamPRE CHORUS There is no silence There is no fear Only what you bring to the table And that which you revereCHORUS I will rain down fire upon you Cleanse before I choose to condemn Open all eyes to love and despair Witness the prelude to Awakening BethlehemI’ll debate whether sin is a virtue I’ll understand the beauty you pretend to hide inside PRE CHORUS CHORUS |

| A Set of Eyes on the World. Music by Das Binky, Lyrics and Performance by Das Binky and Summer Bl4ck. Play A Set of Eyes on the World |
LyricsA look, A smile, A laugh for me Is it real or make believe Deep blue eyes, a kiss, embrace Is it love or just good faceScenes flip inside my mind like pages in a magazine A piece of glass between you and me…I hold in my hand a set of eyes on the world All the better to see you with, my dear Still frames of memory frozen See the trust in these eyes, you’ve nothing to fearClose is good, Closer is best Golden Light that shines my guest Selling yourself, I am buying Your mystery I’m untying Pages flip inside my mind I hold in my hand a set of eyes on the world Observe, direct from across the room I hold in my hand a set of eyes on the world I hold in my hand a set of eyes on the world |
| Oktober on the Beach. Music and Lyrics by Das Binky. Play Oktober on the Beach |
LyricsWesterly winds I didn’t need a coat the last time I was here Whitecaps It feels too early for the leaves to fall Why didn’t I come here more over the summer when I was a kid When I’m alone When I’m notThis is what I miss no custard on the boardwalk today The sand is empty I could walk out into the waves just walk and walk to Europe To China To Anywhere But it wouldn’t be better only different but sometimes different what you needit’s autumn that bring this on it takes dying to show us what we need dying on the beach |

| The Forgiver. Music and Lyrics by Das Binky. Play The Forgiver |
LyricsShould I feel guilt for the life you never had? The time I stole from you I wear your failures like scars upon my back Reflecting the life you never knewMy life came at a cost and that cost was youYou weren’t good enough, but I could never tell you why Some truths aren’t meant to be delivered I know the answer, but it’s locked where I can’t find it I’m not looking for you to be the forgiverI said I loved you but I think I might have lied But who was I lying to? I can’t answer how you did me wrong Since I never did you right My life came at at a cost and that cost was you You weren’t good enough, but I could never tell you why I see the house we never bought My life came at at a cost and that cost was you You weren’t good enough, but I could never tell you why |
