Do light or say door
You that close
Before those say my faith halfway
Door always twice
Look to a ground
Sure you something, Baby
You out to you
Back before thinking
You cries serious memory

Life dice
Before Baby
Feel part before getting this
You eyes halfway baby
Think about close roll
What life?
You look distant life
That depends sweetest
I roll twice
Those about you leave
Don't serious storm
Roll serious when my about
My thinking back
Before what fire?
Dice can't dice thinking
Look there's twice door
Easy on you
You don't whatever
What it takes down
Be of a for you be life
You're us tonight
Say of soul me
Higher wrong Baby

May I?
Your need
My summer soul
How far?
Living world deep
Deep sun
Softly
Oh deep, me deep

Eyes, hand, think
We belong down deep
Really deep
You're in
Learn, feel
When fools touch
Breaking you, you, you

Deep morning
Darkest moment
Should you learn love?
The arms deepest you down
Inside living life
We need fools
You're rain really
Me and a door
Breaking
Breaking all love
Inside is you, in world light
How?

So I let my loving Mama
Why you?
You was
Ashamed love
I did little
Misunderstood
You're guaranteed me... Mama

The lifetime you open
You, last night
This does
I touch distance
Open, when nothing

Feel heart

Once believe
In here on far
Come forever
Show you're heart
Near gone here
Go always
Safe life
Wherever you see
Love door
Never heart

Do tell going loving
The tough can hold slow
Rough mountain touch
The coming climb
I'm the Never
Ready nothing
Fashion price going can deliver
I'll hold tough, do any swim
The willing track
And touch the want track
The rough touch dream
Reach ticket motion
Get the river feel
Slow want
I'm back darling
Going the coming
Touch it myself

Believe the rhythm.
Happy we die.
That whiskey turned pink.
Mortal father. Boys smile.
Kicked the teenage singing.
Church slow and truck carnation.
Lovers up drinking now die singing.
Lonely music and streets.
This'll dry your faith.
If I can make whiskey... can God?
Poets remember the old boys souls.
Singing had died, long I cried.
I dreamed the most while people drove the whiskey train.
I screamed before men and children.
All died. Make the holy real.
The Miss American Ghost.
Drinking, rock singing.
Old you, started singing that dry die good rye music.
Sacred bible and broken singing.
I started my dancing years.

And as I'm her, blood girl never can downtown
She'll bet white pearls

Someday maybe I can't
Understand my win
Because looking with blood I'm living
She's high. That's anyone

Can't beautiful
Don't wonderful
We go, we say down
Sun bring the way
You're me today
Don't bring me words to matter
Down in the pain
Breathe
Trying mistakes
Always consumed matter
Bring that everywhere down
So words
Don't so, no sun
No might of the ashamed beautiful
Doom inside
The down me
I'm Words
So all awake
Today in the now
Oh they, today
You're insecure
Oh everywhere emptiness
Single, beautiful, delirious, words
Tomorrow you can't say "Us"
All undone
Single tune words
Can't look down
Will we puzzle you?

Erotic feels delirious
You hang and get go
Up exotic scream and in front
Time to shout "Life"
Don't scream

Shake like delirious

Morning king
Bring the track
We walk my clothes
The on man. Rain tonight down South
Let’s bet. Cards never fly
Hello light. A celebration
We hit mum
Fester. My tomorrow nobody
Extraordinary heart. Let it pour star cars
Come gazing to stars
I’m a hit. Used necklace for toast kicks
We branch bigger
Glass laying baby
Let the Concord
Cards rain, raving
Won’t it audio Prince?
Wild drive. We say this
We ain’t home until we walk
Visual collection
Fresher rain, more celebration

Drama shocks my uncle
Disturbing. Apologise
Check bulbs
Crazy women go out alone
I’ve a DJ groupie

Mind sometimes
Someone yesterday
The married I like best
Nothing of summer compares
Uninvited hide
Find hate
Nothing from you now
We couldn't sometimes
Haze face

Born said instead
Guess in two

Instead hurts
The hate fight worries
You remember girl
Memories remember blue
I surprise
Blue love dreams the uninvited
Regrets forget mistakes
Settled time
I'll stay
Glory hoped it bittersweet

Goodbye easy life

Quicker children
Wrote twenty
Seven seeking
Go was bigger
Big drinking years
Old boys stories
Daddy woman
Stories, years, herb years
Rich failure
Smoking liquor
Never pushing
Smallest sing
Soon twenty, still me
Old limits
Leave thought
Sixty learning seven
Cold old years
Soon my story glory
Always sixty, my sorry
Roaming years
Steady me
I'm learning better
Once lonely for a world
I really remember voices
Warm big life
Eleven years
Before writing songs
Lonely sun morning
I was me, sixty burning, warm

Falling sour, I'm okay

Bed sheets do something

New taxi smell
Crazy magnet shots
Discovering thrifty love baby
Falling on my room
Conversation in your new body
Shape drinking love
Play with the love
Brand lover
I follow day
Eat me
Something was love
Let's love your best
First find slow like lead
Driver chance that day
I'll say "dance"
Come pull, I'm night
Push on my day
Radio love
I'm love with a body magnet story
Body plate discovering boy
Kiss club
I'm discovering love on a body
Push my heart mind
Fill love shape body

As my 50th year of existence ends I bring you COLOSSUS PART TWO.
COLOSSUS is an inconceivably massive project that consists of 50 tracks all of which are 50 minutes long.
COLOSSUS PART TWO completes this project.
COLOSSUS PART ONE consists of the first 25 tracks and is also available on this site.
Parts One and Two combined are just short of 42 hours of 'music'.
The 'songs' are extreme, simple, complex, mellow, angular and often surreal adaptations of every single hit from the last 50 years that was at Number One in the UK charts on my birthday.
The music is either in the same key or with the same notes played but in a different order, backwards or inverted. Further music and notation has been added by myself. They are absolutely nothing like the originals.
Additionally, the words to the songs are formed from the lyrics to every Number One hit from the last 50 years. But with a twist.
I have adapted the lyrics by using the William Burroughs cut up method and further changed them to make some kind of structure, but they remain predominantly abstract and nonsensical.
Many thanks to all the narrators who are individually credited on the track titles.
Further thanks to all the listeners, detractors, strangers, friends, foes and all those that were cruel or kind that have faded in and out of my existence. You, in no small way have helped me create this monolith.
Another Happy Birthday to me - here's to 101.
This recording is numerologically accurate and anagrammatically active.
MARCH 2019 : DESCEND AND DISINTEGRATE
REVIEWS
DANGEROUS MINDS
Andrei Tarkovsky called his art “sculpting in time,” but Stalker has the brisk pace of a Tom and Jerry cartoon compared to Andrew Liles’ new mega-album Colossus, a 50 LP box set released in digital form. Liles specializes in improving things, and Colossus is bigger and better music. Not only is it superior to other new records, it is superior to the 50 years of pop history it digests.
Last March, we premiered the first half of Liles’ audio monument to his half-century between heaven and earth: 50 tracks, 50 minutes each, one for every year since 1969. With the arrival of Part Two this month, the 42-hour opus is complete. It’s about three times the length of Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, 25 times as long as The Concert for Bangladesh, or 360 times the album version of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” (irrefragably scrambled in Part One).
The tracks, named after the songs that topped the chart on each of Liles’ birthdays, are original compositions distantly related to the number ones that inspired them—per Liles:
The music is either in the same key or with the same notes played but in a different order, backwards or inverted. Further music and notation has been added by myself. They are absolutely nothing like the originals.
Additionally, the words to the songs are formed from the lyrics to every Number One hit from the last 50 years. But with a twist.
I have adapted the lyrics by using the William Burroughs cut up method and further changed them to make some kind of structure, but they remain predominantly abstract and nonsensical.
Part Two brings us from 1994, represented by Mariah Carey’s “Without You,” to the present, and it is here that Liles really shines, because the hits are so much worse. If you listen to the originals, Celine Dion’s abominable “My Heart Will Go On”—bad enough in 1997-‘98—sounds like a Bach concerto next to what came after: Madonna’s “American Pie,” Westlife’s “Uptown Girl,” Chico’s “It’s Chico Time.” But when pop goes low, Liles goes high. Colossus draws strength from the passage of time that saps and enfeebles the top ten, right through the irresistible one-two combination that closes the album. By the time Edward Ka-Spel of the Legendary Pink Dots performs “Shape of You,” named after Ed Sheeran’s 2017 hit, and David Tibet narrates “God’s Plan,” after Drake’s supermarket sweep of last year, you may imagine that pop music is Tom Skerritt’s character in Alien, cocooned and begging for death, and Colossus is the muscular, merciful Sigourney Weaver who sets him on fire.
There is a lesson here for despairing pop fans: dross can be transformed into solid gold! All you have to do to make an Ed Sheeran song listenable is remove all of Ed Sheeran’s contributions to it, find a better Edward to sing it, and radically rewrite the music and lyrics. Then set it on fire. You can keep the original title, no problem.
