I wrote it and recorded it with a lot of love behind it so I hope it reaches out to you.

When I was a kid, I was a huge kung fu and sci fi movie junkie, I loved anything Shaw Bros so at around 12 years of age when I was thinking about a name to give my music in the form of a band, I called it "Shaolin Temple of BooM" which to me meant kung fu of music, BooM meaning the beat. I stuck with it ever since and liked it because it didn't take itself too seriously yet was serious all at the same time. It is tongue in cheek, a play on words, for "Temple of Doom", but for the most part what it means to me is taking music to another level within myself and always seeking to build upon what you have and what you think you know, much in the same way Shaolin monks seek to go beyond themselves in their abilities and what is thought to be possible. I saw this video today and it reminded me why I named my band and music... Shaolin Monk Balances On 2 Fingers

After the Fall by Shaolin Temple of BooM on itunes here http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/after-fall/id338275471?i=338275533&uo=6 Video remix by Digital Iris
First off I want to say this video below cracked me the hell up but while I was laughing something occurred to me. If you can make someone sound like he is singing when all he is doing is talking like in this video you wonder about the possibilities of the future of "auto-tune" technology. Before 5 years ago you had to have at least some sort of musical ability to create music, granted technology was almost always there to help but at it's core you still needed some sort of musical ability to sing, or play an instrument. Today, all you need is auto-tune and midi and your average run of the mill jock or person who has no musical ability whatsoever can create music and pass himself off as a "musician".
A lot of people don't see the harm in that but I do, because what it does is devalue the very state of music itself. Music is no longer an artform, for the most part, especially in the mainstream.
Music is dead in the mainstream and the future seems a lot worse unless we wake up and realize that music is art. What makes music special is the ability of certain people to create it without the help of computers, sadly the future see technology hiding it so much no one will be able to know whether someone can sing or play or not. Technology will be so advanced that in live situations more than likely, "perfection" will be controlled by technology as well.
If this were to happen. Music would have zero value and at that point in time music will be dead.

Thanks to trueAnthem and Skull Candy you can DOWNLOAD FREE "After the Fall" and "I would destroy"!!! Read below also JOIN us on FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/shaolintempleofboom
Download the NEW SHAOLIN TEMPLE OF BOOM song "After the Fall" FREE! If you have an iPhone or Ipod touch and download the NEW SKULL CANDY iPhone APP FREE!
So to kick off the new bandcamp page I thought I would allow for both "Evil" and "Into Nothing" to be FREE downloads! You pick the price you want to pay...if you want it free all you will have to do is key in your email so I can have you on that list there and inform you when there is new music available or if you are feeling generous you can name your price, whatever you want, whatever you think the song is worth to you and it goes through paypal or any credit card. So say you want to download "Into Nothing" but you really want to show support for Shaolin Temple of BooM and you decide to pay....$5 for the song...that $5 goes a long way to paying for more music. In a way this concept brings music back to being art. What gives art it's value? The value in my opinion is determined by how much you want it. The other benefit of www.shaolintempleofboom.bandcamp.com is that you can CHOOSE what format you want the songs in, you can get it in a higher quality then even itunes as an mp3 or apple lossless or flac...the CHOICE is yours!
Unfortunately, I will never offer any of the new tracks for free (Unless sponsored) as I have to make a living haha! Hey we all gotta make money some how right? BUT I am offering "After the Fall" and "Relentless Fixation" for just 50 cents! The minumum is 50 cents but you can name the price! Say you really love "After the Fall" and think that song is worth $100 dollars to you.... well.....SHAOLIN TEMPLE OF BOOM will love you for a million years if that were the case but say you wanted to give $100 for "After the Fall" because you know that whatever your pay for will help me create more music....then by all means....DO SO! But if all you can afford is 50 cents that is fine too! It's better then getting it free without a sponsor because people who do that are actually hurting Shaolin Temple of BooM's ability to create more music. Remember SToB is independent, no record label, no management....the only people that care about Shaolin Temple of BooM is YOU GUYS.
With heartless discourse we seek our own truth Of you and me That lies somewhere between the lines
Somehow you know we don't belong But I don't care They try and bring us down to our knees
When you try and let it go into the fire All the things that they decieve I don't need When you try and let it go into the fire All the things that they decieve I don't need
A random series of events.
If nothing is what we are meant to be You and me And flesh and bone is all that we are
What good are rules if they bring us down To the ground There's more to this than we are told
When you try and let it go into the fire All the things that they decieve I don't need When you try and let it go into the fire All the things that they decieve I don't need
When you came blazing the night away You came in the dead of night Your eyes like the sun Now you've gone to find us another way Outside of this cold and pain Found by no one
Yea I don't know where to begin or how to explain How the tv talks and the aeroplane The big empty in our heads and in our hearts
After the fall There's nothing at all Their gonna take us for a ride You can make them or break them all night After the fall There's nothing at all Their gonna take us for a ride You can make them or break them all night
A thousand days I walked through this desert plane Blinded without the rain Your eyes like the sun
Watch it fall Taking your breath away Leading you to the day All has come undone
Yea Fuck that Shit Motherfucker
I want to tell you something Knock another brick off the wall
We make the lives we live yea No explanations after the fall
After the fall There's nothing at all After the fall There's nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all
Wake up to what's going on A slave to paper without worth Controlled by this society Numbers made of you and me What gives you the right to tell me what to do with my life? What gives you the right to tell me what to do with my life?
When you wake up by the sun I'll be lying there We can find all the lost time Letting go of yours and mine No more travelling alone Everywhere is our home No reason to live in fear Nothing will harm you when you're near
One day you and I'll be free To do what we are meant to be Society won't hold us down Chains left broken and unbound What gives you the right to tell me what to do with my life? What gives you the right to tell me what to do with my life?
When you wake up by the sun I'll be lying there We can find all the lost time Letting go of yours and mine No more travelling alone Everywhere is our home No reason to live in fear Nothing will harm you when you're near
When you wake up by the sun I'll be lying there We can find all the lost time Letting go of yours and mine No more travelling alone Everywhere is our home No reason to live in fear Nothing will harm you when you're near
I am a self taught musician, I taught myself to read and play music on the piano and along the way I picked up some rudimentary theory (or at least theory as I see it on it all) but I like the fact that I was never taught formally of music so I can break the rules in ways most musicians that know theory wouldn't.
The way I like to write music is for the music to contain symbology that reflects the lyrics and in "I would destroy" the lyrics contain water metaphors or being drowned in water as a metaphor to be more precise. In the process of writing the song I wanted to have that underwater murkiness present so in a G minor chord of the piano I added an electronic melody that contains an E flat and in the melody of the vocals I am singing a D flat note. All 3 elements combined create a cluster of notes by 3 seperate elements which in my mind simulates the auditory effect of being underwater (at least in my mind it does) and all this happens during the lyric where I sing "Drown you in their bed of rain" in the first verse.
That's why when Tim and I were discussing the premise for the video I wanted to have underwater scenes but I am glad that Tim added the reverse underwater scene at the end where I go back up for air, in the context of the song and video I thought that was the perfect touch...at any rate you can leave a comment of your thoughts for the song here on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GGX0yd6m24 please leave your thoughts there and not in this blog and while you are there SToB would love you forever if you rate the video as well....it helps promote the video and song and we need all the help from you we can get.
