I Choose Love Lyrics by Ramune Nagisetty It wasn’t a thought in my head It was a feeling in my heart instead Always searching for that feeling That makes life better than just living And these moments come and go and We seek them out at risk of falling in The falling in the falling in It’s the feeling of oneness, and the feeling of completeness we seek But what’s it worth all we can hope Is to meet again in a different life A different place and time It would kill me to lose you Of course that’s not really true But, a part of me would die Cuz you wormed in under my skin And found a place in my heart Somewhere between my ribs there’s a special part That feels happy and burns bright And keeps me warm through the night And these are the loves, that teach us how to love each other I choose love, I choose love, I choose love It wasn’t a thought in my head, it was a feeling in my heart instead These are the loves, that teach us how to love each other, I choose love, I choose love, I choose love It wasn’t a thought in my head, it was a feeling in my heart instead, and I choose love

Echoes 02:56
Echoes Lyrics by Ramune Nagisetty Echoes of laughter Feeling the nightmare Burning up into smoke Let me go Let me run Don’t hold on to me Hide somewhere quiet Alone like I’ve always been Alone like I’ll always be Echoes of laughter Feeling the nightmare Burning up from the inside out Not fitting the mold of squares below Let me go let me run Don’t hold on to me Hide somewhere quiet Alone like I’ve always been Alone like I’ve always be Echoes of laughter Feeling the nightmare An apology A consolation prize For being left behind Hide somewhere quiet Alone like I’ve always been Alone like I’ll always be Hide somewhere quiet Alone like I’ve always been Alone like I’ll always be Reaching down below to grab and grasp To save me from the undertow

What If Lyrics written by Ramune Nagisetty What if I said I just need you What if I said I need you here What if I said I just need to What if I said I need to leave The mistress you've found the One who kills The praying mantis The little pill What if I said I just need you What if I said I need you here What if I said I just need to What if I said I need to leave Oceans swell and the Ships at sea it’s the Closest you’ll be to Feeling free What if I said I just need you What if I said I need you here What if I said I just need to What if I said I need to leave You think you can run you and you Think you can hide and you Think it’s better on the other side What if I said I just need you What if I said I need you here What if I said I just need to What if I said I need to leave It’s a moment of bliss it’s the last kiss don’t walk the other way cuz it's too late What if I said I just need you What if I said I need you here What if I said I just need to What if I said I need to leave It’s a moment of bliss it’s the last kiss don’t walk the other way cuz it's too late What if I said I just need you What if I said I need you here What if I said I just need to What if I said I need to leave

Favorite Thing Lyrics by Ramune Nagisetty The sun rises, light shines in my eyes Thinking back how our love has grown Thinking back how our love has shown Seasons fade so much has changed Secrets concealed are now revealed /prechorus/ I wake from a dream and reflect from within A time when we were close and fallin in /chorus/ Cuz you are my favorite everything You are the one who makes me sing You are my favorite everything Verse 2 The sun rises and the light returns A new season and we endure Going to sleep under giant wings of love Cuz of you I felt loved enough /prechorus/ I wake from a dream and reflect from within A time when we were close and fallin in /chorus/ Cuz you are my favorite everything You are the one who makes me sing You are my favorite everything Verse 3 The sun rises and and your hand’s in mine Warm and safe in a special place I found you when I needed to Saying yes to feeling blessed You call me in my dreams and my heart jumps Cuz of you I felt loved enough /prechorus/ I wake from a dream and reflect from within A time when we were close and fallin in /chorus/ Cuz you are my favorite everything You are the one who makes me sing You are my favorite everything

Giving Up Lyrics by Ramune Nagisetty You will leave and I will move on I’ll go alone since you’ll be gone The things that you said, they weren’t lies That’s how you felt for that moment in time I’m giving up on you and me And now I see and now I know better I was naïve I really believed We’d be together forever The things that you said the things you’d do The things that didn’t come true And I should known a while ago, When you’re smile turned to stone I’m giving up on you and me And now I see and now I know better I was naïve I really believed We’d be together forever I said I’d change I would take it to heart Make it work not fall apart Now I know just what it means What we had was too good to last I’m giving up on you and me Now I see now I know better I was naïve I really believed We’d be together forever You will leave and I will move on I’ll go alone since you’ll be gone I’m giving up on you and me Now I see now I know better I was naïve I really believed We’d be friends forever I’m giving up on you and me Now I see and now I know better I was naïve I really believed These were the best times of our lives.

about

Rocket 3’s sophomore album, “What’s the Frequency?”, grows out of the band’s pop punk roots, but with disarming vocals and clean, warm guitar tones. The title is a nod to both the R.E.M. song and to bass player Kenneth Foust, who joined the band in 2015 and shares songwriting duties with guitarist and lead singer, Ramune Nagisetty. Andrew Anymouse adds drums while Portland musical talent, Gavin Duffy, contributes saxophone and keyboards to add new flavors to an already tasty recipe. Matt Jefferson, producer of “Burn”, reprises his role as recording engineer and producer.

The opening track, “I Choose Love,” is a beautiful, unusually structured song revealing that true love is learned. “Echoes” is an autobiographical account of witnessing a cruel moment in an auditorium full of people laughing at the expense of an audience member. “What If” is an energetic, 3-chord banger with multiple time signatures and a call and response describing the choice between a drug addiction and a relationship: “what if I just need you? - what if I need to leave.” “Giving Up” is an upbeat track about the joy and freedom that comes from just letting go. And “I Don’t Need Ya” sings about eschewing the superficial confidence that money implies.

"What’s the Frequency is an overall perfect album- from the jingle-jangely opening track “I Choose Love”, right down to the closing track that is all about goodbyes known as “Evershine.”
-Ron Trembath, Trainwreck'd Society
