SATISFIED Copyright 2000 by Walter Salas-Humara Published 2000 Lagartija Music (BMI) I don't want to disown you I wanna see us fly Ain't gonna be no love around here If we don't start trying to Look inside of our mind Don't be afraid of what we find We can be side by side We can be satisfied It's not working for me You staying on your side of town We got to cross this river We got to burn this jailhouse down and Look inside of our mind Don't be afraid of what we find We can be side by side We can be satisfied We can be side by side We can be satisfied Ain't gonna be no time for Excuses tonight We can get it wrong or We can get it right

DRUNKEN MOON Copyright 2000 by Walter Salas-Humara and Paul Opperman Published 2000 Lagartija Music (BMI) The trip to New Orleans Lasted two days And on that second evening It was written on your face Under a drunken moon You left me behind I'll see you someday soon I'll see you when the sun refuses to shine I met you on the fender Of our old Ford Fairlane I made you a promise And you made me the same promise Under a drunken moon You left me behind I'll see you someday soon I'll see you when the sun refuses to shine This ain't no celestial body This ain't no runaway train I stopped believing in karma I stopped believing in saints And I'm never gonna show you Not even a drop of my pain Under a drunken moon You left me behind I'll see you someday soon I'll see you when the sun refuses to shine

SANGRE Y LAGRIMAS Copyright 2000 by Walter Salas-Humara Published 2000 Lagartija Music (BMI) No hay otro mundo No hay alga mas Otro pais Otra comunidad No hay algo mas puro? Algo con mas bellesa?

Que sangre y lagrimas Todo el amor Y todo la verdad Se quedo por el camino A la seguridad No hay algo mas puro? Algo con mas bellesa? Que sangre y lagrimas El capitalismo Es nuestra religion Donde fueron los dichos De la revolucion Hay un futuro Y hay un corazon Hay inteligensia Y hay passion Hay algo mas puro Algo con mas bellesa Que sangre y lagrimas

WHERE YA BEEN Copyright 2000 by Walter Salas-Humara Published 2000 Lagartija Music (BMI) I don't know if your talking to me I don't like what I'm starting to see If you can't, if you won't start changing please Leave me now, not by degrees I'm going out on a limb I know you been with him I won't be here standing, thinking, wondering Where you been You been angry for some time I've been following close behind If we don't and if we won't change our minds Let's get it over now, not by and by I'm going out on a limb I know you been with him I won't be here standing, thinking, wondering Where you been Where you been? where you been? It seems sometimes we just can't win Where you been? Oh darling let me in I don't know what you're saying to me My heart just don't want to believe it Though there ain't no doubt in the sound of your voice And my poor heart don't have no choice I'm not out on a limb You're going home with him I don't have to stand and think and wonder Where you been

THE TITLE OF THIS SONG Copyright 2000 by Paul Opperman and Walter Salas-Humara Published 2000 Lagartija Music (BMI) You drove down the turnpike You were tried and true You made me lazy I made you blue You said wait for me Wait for me Over time I will see What you mean to me Over time I will know That I was wrong to have sung The title of this song The car lights fade The screen door slams The darknes shows me Just who I am You said wait for me Wait for me Over time I will see What you mean to me Over time I will know That I was wrong to have sung The title of this song Leaving you Leaving me I want out and I want in Start to begin, begin to end Back on the highway The exits roll on I am the one driving And I'm gone, gone, gone I am gone Over time I will see What you mean to me Over time I will know There is no wrong No right or wrong in The title of this song Leaving you

FOUR ON THE FLOOR Copyright 1997 Dave Bassett and Walter Salas-Humara Published 1997 Royal Swirly Music (ASCAP) and Lagartija Music (BMI) If you could choose your life If you could clap your hands If the music was absolutely clear There'd be no room for the band Bewildering lights A spectacular crash Everybody got hurt, but that's alright They'll be coming back Four, four on the floor Three, three on the tree Two, do it for you and One more for free One more for free All over the city All over the world The day it hit me Four, four on the floor Three, three on the tree Two, do it for you and One more for free One more for free

about

During two years of extensive touring The Silos created the songs from Laser Beam Next Door. Roadtesting them with audiences, editing and rewriting, the band reduced them to their essence and eschewed all but the core emotional sequences. The band distilled itself to a trio with each member expanding his own repertoire of musical talents while restricting himself to using these talents in service of the lean, mean musical machine The Silos have become. Laser Beam is a "HUGELY ROCKING" album that still maintains The Silos penchant for deep grooves and melodies you find yourself humming throughout the day. Original Release: March 2001 Checkered Past Records. Re-release: April 2004 Sonic Pyramid.

The Silos New York, New York

The Silos, the still-kicking band Walter Salas-Humara co-founded in New York’s post-punk ‘80s scene played Alt-Rock, Alt- Country, and Americana before any critics coined those terms. Salas-Humara’s narratives take on the weight of attentive, convincing poetry and wry wordplay. Each tune is marked by such humanity, which offers much refuge in a convulsive time. ... more
