It seemed to me at the time
that I had had a thought
That things were gonna get easier
before they got better
I turned around just in time
to see it round the bend
Turn left, walk off stage
I had reached the end
It ends with a chance
The night replaces the day
Darkness fills the air
Then fades away
I walked around
I found a note lying on the ground
I picked it up
read it twice
And I discarded it
I had to go back
an hour or two later
Because it seemed (to me)
That it contained a detailed list
of everything I was to do
For the next several weeks (in order)
It ends with a chance
The night replaces the day
Darkness fills the air
Then fades away
It seemed to me at the time
that I had had a thought
That things were gonna get so much easier (this time)
I was deluded
It ends with a chance
-February 1999/January 2002, Michael Anderson

I saw a movie
a home movie
With me as a child
I think I saw it once
I know I've seen it
But, I want to see it again and again and again...
There was this boy
and there was this girl
And they built a tower
meant to reach
all
the way
up
to the sky
They just wanted to say hi
(or so they said)
But when they came down
they couldn't understand
anyone at all
they couldn't understand
anything at all
KILL THE LIGHTS!
-January 1999/July 2001, Michael Anderson

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.
