The Rondo Brothers - Aquarium Dreams

Copied!

{Verse 1: Dirty Little Pedro}
Well I was chilling on a sunny afternoon
Knowing I would have to do something soon
Now I (?...) we're slipping into the sea
I got to be me
In our minds, we seem to be divine
But in our hearts, we know it's party time
The compromise is pleasing all the same
I want to know your name

{Chorus: Samantha}
Take a look around at this paradise
Catch the aquarium dreams before your very eyes
Fishes swim in circles, lost like you and I
Nowhere to go, you can't hide

{Verse 2: Dirty Little Pedro}
I been down and I've been sad
Sometimes it's so hard to not feel bad
Life's too short for you not to enjoy
You've got to enjoy
We've been given a paradise
It's not the kind of gift you're given twice
You have to realize how lucky you are
How lucky you are

{Chorus: Samantha}
Take a look around at this paradise
Catch the aquarium dreams before your very eyes
Fishes swim in circles, lost like you and I
Nowhere to go, you can't hide

{Bridge: Dirty Little Pedro}
People like to hate when they’re not feelin' good
I wish they'd understand that it's all understood
Everyone who wants it have got my sympathy
Come and dance with me

{Instrument Break}

{Verse 3: Dirty Little Pedro & Samantha}
Living on an island on the side of a volcano
And I'm only inside when it starts to rain
I live by the ocean and I swim in the sea
I tried to remember we were all born free
Born free

{Chorus: Samantha (Dirty Little Pedro)}
Take a look around at this paradise
Catch the aquarium dreams before your very eyes
Fishes swim in circles, lost like you and I
Nowhere to go, you can't hide
Take a look around at this paradise (How lucky you are)
Catch the aquarium dreams before your very eyes
Fishes swim in circles, lost like you and I (How lucky you are)
Nowhere to go, you can't hide

{Outro: Samantha}
Take a look around at this paradise
Catch the aquarium dreams before your very eyes
Take a look around at this paradise
Catch the aquarium dreams before your very eyes

The Rondo Brothers are The Bastard Prince and Diamond Jim, two bay area based multi-instrumentalists, DJs, and producers.

They became the Rondo Brothers in 2004 after living in New Orleans for several months working with Galactic on the Ruckus album, and getting into a hotel hot tub with all of their clothes on.

Having already contributed to various projects through friend Dan The Automator, such as Deltron 3030, Dr Octagon, and Lovage, the Rondo brothers made their own breakthrough album “No Time Left On Earth” which was a clever take on Hawaiian music mixed with beats and electronics.

This earned them a spot opening for the Handsome Boy Modeling School White People tour in 2005. They followed up with a second record “Seven Minutes To Midnight.”

Subsequently, the Rondos were invited to join Head Automatica, a side project of Glassjaw frontman Daryl Palumbo.

This led them on multiple national tours opening for The Cure, Interpol, Thursday, the Rapture, and more.

While gaining accomplishments as live musicians, the Rondos also wrote and recorded on dozens of commercial scores, films, and television shows, as well as getting opportunities to turn in remixes for artists such as Lily Allen, Common, the Beatles, Shwayze, Peeping Tom, and others.

They’ve scored a series of NFL cartoons and wrote the song “Ocho Cinco” that gave Chad Johnson his now famous legal nickname.

Now heavily in demand producers, the Rondos produced with Bay Area indie favorites Loquat, nerd core hero MC Lars, as well as tracks for artists such as Scissors For Lefty, Kid Beyond, the Lovemakers, the Matches, and many others.

In 2008, they were offered a chance to record tracks with metal-guitarist guru, F. Sean Martin, from Hatebreed who was working with legendary bay area MC Motion Man on a project called King Beast -

The Rondos and Motion Man hit it off, and the three started working on a new project of their own, the Foreign Globester.

In 2009, the Rondos finished two album for MC Lars, and currently are working as full-time producers for a side project with up and coming Australian brother duo, The Kin, who were introduced to the Rondos by producer and collaborator Jack Douglas.

Also accomplished songwriters, 2010 will see the Rondos release a cut of one of their co-writes on the new Galactic album, sung by R&B legend Irma Thomas, as well as a co-write on Alligator Records’ artist Eric Lindell.
