Stand back and try to be apart from everything
(for how long?)
You will deny this love inside
Black and white one, consumed with pride
You will seek and
you'll find it's easier
once you dance and shout
You will surprise
You will shine
it'll take a little while
one night at a time
Reach out and try to make a mark on every life
(one by one)
You'll be surprised how bright you'll shine
My companion in black and white
You will seek and
you'll find it's easier
once you get rid of your doubt
Your life in mine
We will shine
We've got the discipline
to dance all night
Take what you want, because when you want you've got it
Take what you need (or are you still deciding?)
Because once you feel, once you start to feel it
You'll know love.
-23 July 2003, Michael Anderson

In the dark, we fear that love is for the others
We all need to get together once in a while
We all want to know all the what's and what for
In the dark we fear that love is for the others
You act as if you don't care
Make time for friends who won't share
Well, take your time
Take off
Fuck off
(and then come back to me)
Take a chance and make time for someone you don't love
We all need to hold the basket once in a while
We all need to know what it's like on all fours
In the dark you'll realize that love is all yours
You act as if you won't share
(because you think you own it)
Spend time for friends who don't care
(well, when you gonna show it?)
Well, I've got news for you... hold on, hold on.
I'll be right back... I've got something to show you.
You get what you deserve because
you cry alone in the dark
Hold on, hold on... it's going to be alright.
(Everything's going to be alright)
In the dark, we fear that love is for the others

Turn Pale Bloomington, Indiana
From 2000-2007, TURN PALE (from Bloomington, IN) explored the corners of the dancefloor, with a decidedly punk aesthetic;
opting to caress the dark, Rough Trade/Factory/Mute sound from the early 80's post-punk/goth movement. Darkness does not necessitate evil.
Known for a highly energetic live show, TURN PALE toured the US several times w/ friends such as Black Eyes, Love Life, and Radio Berlin.
