eibeattie The more I listen to Fluorescent Lamp Pop, the more I understand and appreciate the layers and complexity of the album. It’s fun, interesting music! I hope there is MORE dream-pop and Tim J Grant in my future. Favorite track: Fooled Another Man (feat. Ina Bravo).

18in74 Tim has done a fantastic job of quite literally orchestrating a widely disbursed group of music artists into a virtual band. Favorite track: Bullseye (feat. Ina Bravo).

Everybody got a story I have heard so many wise ones yeah there were some nice ones but most of them were boring they talk bout being lied on, blabla but we fight on and "that was the old me" But you don't even talk like you been sitting in the dark that shit is fucking lonely Sorry if I'm coldly But I wish you knew you don't have to change Or use a front to entertain the same old fools Tell me bout your pain that you wish would go away with your fist in the sky Cause you be telling lies But they're gon' aim for your heart like a bulls eye Bulls Eye 3x But they gon' aim for your heart like a bulls eye 2x Ahoo cross my heart and hope to die Wait a minute, spoke a lie I don't really hope to die But they aim for your heart with a dart like a bulls eye Ooh, Ohh Ooh, Ohh Aim for your bulls eye Now your hearts open, but your lips sealed Promise is broken, no one believed Ohh, yeahh Now your hearts open, lips are sealed Promise is broken, no one believed Nooo, ooh Everybody got a story I have heard so many wise ones yeah there were some nice ones but most of them were boring talk bout being lied on, blabla but we fight and "that was the old me" But you don't even talk like you been sitting in the dark that shit is fucking lonely Sorry if I'm coldly Everybody got a story

I'm sitting home alone I'm wondering if you did know Do you even know my name? I hope you do, at least someday I wanna know what it's like To be someone you love Someone you care about I wanna know what it feels like To have you by my side It does feel right Do I get get a chance? Even though I'm not her Can you realize I'm here, I do exist, you know? I came to care for your world The way you saw the things I didn't see before And I lost myself in the night I know this must feel right It does feel right
3.
She runs her own world Now that you're gone And she don't apologize 'Cuz what you had was wrong For her No communication All of her frustration Time wasted on you Goodbye was overdue I want to be like her Free from your danger Clear of the dirt you bring I should have listened When they said He's no good for you But I was a fool I thought we'd be different But he was wrong for me too I broke away from him Sink or swim Now I'm on my own Goodbye was overdue
4.
Stranger things have happened Than love Yes stranger tales have broken In time The roads they come and go How do you ever see them (x2) It all keeps changing Too fast Yet the world goes spinning Without a care So where do I find this road and let it take me? (x2) How do I ever see them? Yes it may take some time But in the end I'll know I'm right Even though I'm scared to try In the end I'll be by your side Be by your side
5.
Took a long time Waited awhile for the right guy though I can't seem to give you the love that you deserve but I'd like to try Cuz you've given a lot you've given so much You worked hard to show me all about love you've given a lot cuz I lived in doubt I was never really sure about all of those guys (I was taken for granted) they told me lies and walked away (but now you're mine) No one can take your place I was so tired Couldn't figure out just why You showed me love You've given a lot You've given so much much You went beyond to show me all about love You're kind to your dog and you call your mom every Sunday Darlin you're the answer You were never afraid Darlin you're the answer You were worth the wait
6.
Feeling restless And I don't know where to go Feeling helpless 'Cause i can't find my way home Hearing voices They won't hush I'm begging them I can't run back Now I am too far in Bouncing off the walls Bouncing off the walls You fooled me once But not again I'm lost right now But I'll find my way Facing the eye of the storm Proving them all wrong You fooled me one But not again 'Cause twice and then I'm to blame Sticks and stones they Feel like nothing now to me I've faced my pain And I am free You fooled me once But not again I'm lost right now But I'll find my way Facing the eye of the storm Proving them all wrong You fooled me one But not again 'Cause twice and then I'm to blame
7.
I gotta push you away sometimes I don’t know how to love Anymore When you’ve been hurt too many times It feels like a scar You can’t hold on Hurt too many times You’re healing the scars on your heart Hold on One too many times I’ve heard I love you One too many nights I’ve cried without you Ohhhh. One too many times One too many times I wondered where you are At night And everything I had I ever knew I gave it up, can’t fight What do you do when There’s love But not the other How do you resume When you’re the only one Recovered (Want to hold you hold you in my arms) All the years I tried to make this something That could somehow last past forever Even though my mind knew my heart was Trying too hard to make sense of us Ohhh (One too many times One too many times) I tried But it’s goodbye
8.
We'd almost given up, but how the coast was waving us down and I ambled down the road luminous to show you I am wide open I am a diamond I am a pearl I'll be a presence I'll be your girl Luminous and lost Taking the light for a signal It's a heavy cost Why don't you come and see oh the moonlight glowing on the sea So when the night arrives with its chances I'll take your eyes as the truest of answers and now I'm ambling down the coast Luminous I'll prove to you I am wide open I am a diamond I am a pearl I'll be the presence lighting your world Luminous and lost taking the light for a signal It's a heavy cost Why don't you come and see oh the moonlight's glowing on the sea
9.
Stand with your heart in my hand Let the night be the judge And all that we've come to see Will be broken freely How does it all fall away? Fall away Stand with your heart in my hand Let the night fall away Let it all fall away
10.
And I'm doing it again Tryna make myself fall in love with you and then run as fast as I can My heart's at it again Fooled another man Fooled another, fooled another Another man My heart knows it's the end We don't have to pretend to let our guards down oh I don't have to know all the things you tell All your secrets, no Cause we're not in love, no Baby no offense, but you're just another man Yeah, yeah Just another, just another Man just another Man 2x And you follow the bliss, And you won't give in And you follow the bliss, You don't know what it is And you follow the bliss, And you don't wanna hear And you follow the bliss, cause you know that you're near (Baby) Ooh.. just another Man 2x Yeah you're just another man, Yeah I fooled another Fooled another man And my heart knows it's the end We don't have to pretend to let our guards down oh I don't have to know all the things you tell All of your secrets, no Cause we're not in love, no Baby no offense, no! but you're just another man..

Oooo Don't move a muscle I know you're late but now Let Time stand still Don't miss the verse Don't rush the words It's slipping all away....all away It's slipping all away you can be late it's okay Just let tomorrow take care of tomorrow That's okay Don't miss the verse Don't rush the words It's slipping all away...all away
12.
Never tried dreaming before I met you But my face lights up everytime that I see you I hold on to the memories now I know you're always on my mind But my heart beats faster when I feel your hand on mine Are you gonna love me better than I ever loved myself Cause maybe I'm too young to know or to understand Once upon a time in a land I thought all was mine You were my hero and I would hold you tight Maybe this isn't the way we thought it would work out Cause maybe I'm too young to know or to understand Are you gonna love me better than I ever loved myself Cause waiting on you to fall right back to me is more like hell Are you gonna love me better than I ever loved myself Cause maybe I'm too young to know or to understand Are you gonna love me better than I ever loved myself
13.
Tell me where does the bottom start? Or will I keep falling more in love With You It's a spell that you've cast on me Now that the spring has come again It's been a year since this affair had its spin And I'm in love even more It's a spell that you cast on me Oh, darling can't you see You're all I'll ever need Every spring Oh, it's a spell that you cast on me Darling you're the key Every spring Don't let this ever change I know that I can sometimes act in different ways But know that my heart for you Could never never never change

Why can’t I just get away, From this impending misery? Its been so long that I can’t see The straight path in front of me O anger O sadness What have you done, (What have you done) To my beautiful soul? What have you done, (What have you done) To my beautiful…. To my beautiful soul? What have you done Sometimes I fall, Down the dark spiral under, False faces made, A disguise from the outside. O anger O sadness What have you done, To my beautiful soul? What have you done, To my beautiful soul? To the beautiful... I no longer have That I no longer have When you feel down (What have you done to my beautiful soul) Do you lose your mind? (What have you done to my beautiful...) ..my beautiful I want my beautiful (To my beautiful soul...) To come back.. That I no longer have I’m not over yet (No No) Save me I’m not dead (No No) I’m not over yet Save me.

about

In 1989 Tim released "Acquire the Earth" with the psychedelic rock group Telescope Bowmen.

"Fluorescent Lamp Pop" is Tim's first solo outing. It features an innovative fusion of indie rock, pop, psychedelic and electronica music highlighted by cloud collaborations with female vocalists/lyricists from around the world: Ahbee (NYC, USA), Amy Kirkpatrick (Los Angeles, USA), BellZ (Lagos, Nigeria), Ina Bravo (Los Angeles, USA), Judith Amelia (Atlanta, USA), Kirsa Moonlight (Badajoz, Spain), Kysta (Eugene, USA) and Tara Lynn (Melbourne, Australia). Tim's acoustic/electric/bass guitar, piano, synth and programmed drums production was occasionally bolstered with the aid of Will Finch (bass guitar), Natasha Jafee (cello) and Luca Cacucciolo (piano).

Tim thanks you for your support and would like to hear from you.
