(verse 1) We spent the summer in the heat of the sun Drinking tequila til our problems were gone Dreaming of money and a life on the run Never get old cause I'd rather die young There's no income but we always get drunk Breathing the clouds til out bodies go numb The world is changing at the pace of a gun Taking and killing all the people we love (chorus) Who made the colors that painted the empty spaces You call me your brother But my mind's been changing (verse 2) We lost our minds staring into a mirror Fell in love but the picture was smeared Give me the knowledge to save me from here My friends were close but they've all disappeared Drinking the potion to free us from fear Til we are devoured by the people we're near The world is turning and it moves around Turns us back into dust and lays us down in the ground (chorus) (solo) (chorus) Find a lover and drink some wine In the summer you loose your mind x3

verse 1 You don't know what I'm going through cause it was always about you I don't care what you're going to do cause after this one I'm through with you I've never been one for tears and drama Only the fear that you'll feel tomorrow Take a drink for your pain and sorrow You love the feelin when it lasts for hours cool down x3 chorus I miss the days when you were my lover Why do we do these things to each other You let me down and I'm getting tired verse 2 I was the lover that you loved as a friend All this time all you did was pretend You feeling nervous cause you know it's the end You played with fire til you burned your hands I don't know what you put me through I don't know what you trying to prove cool down x3 chorus bridge I'm getting pretty tired My body's feeling numb I put my hand up on your fire and placed it on my tongue I feel I'm getting higher So don't try to bring me down You don't know x4

verse 1 apollo abort your mission you failed to reach her heart. your skin is wearing thin, solar rays will tear you apart. you're reaching but there's no touch, just a sound of a distant hum. no mortal man among us could ever conquer a goddess. chorus (tu y yo) you and me, inside a sun machine. (buscame) look for me, in a city that never sleeps. Turn back there's nothing left to breathe, there's nothing left. Turn back there's nothing left to breathe. verse 2 Apollo you're only human, just blood and oxygen. She's in between the spaces, behind the stars she hides her faces. Your eyes could never see beyond your simple dreams, now that there's nothing left, your only friend is death. repeat chorus we'll send you a satellite we're searching for a sign.

about

The Soul pilots are a fusion of rock and roll, soul and blues. They emerged in Austin, “The Live Music Capitol of The World,” but their influences cross borders and cultures. Although their approach plays tribute to bands such as The Doors and Café Tacuba, they promise not to rip anyone’s sound, as they “only believe in recycling when it involves paper or plastic.”

Inspired by their American upbringing and their Mexican roots, the results is a blend that they simply describe as "satellite rock," mixed with lyrics about everything from space travel to Alexander the Great. The fluttery snap of their drums, funky Texas blues strums, steamy and cutting percussion, and catchy melodies will remind you of all your favorite songs, but sound like none.

The band consists of Nate Rendon (vocals, guitar, bass), Jesse Aguilar (bass and guitar), Jese Hernandez (drums and backing vocals), Tito Ruiz (keyboards, synth, vocals and backing vocals) and Ernie Luna (percussion and backing vocals). They have been playing together since 2008 and bring their unique experiences that they have shared with other projects throughout the years.

Nate and Jese were involved in the experimental rock band "The Napoleon Alexander," but they did not feel that this band was able to capture their creative point of view and together with Steven Thyberg they formed The Soul Pilots. Four months later Jese reconnected with Jesse, at the local mall and invited him to a Soul Pilots jam session. At the time Jesse was performing and experimenting with blues, jazz and screw, but after just one session with The Soul Pilots he was invited to become a permanent fourth member. Over the next couple of years bandmates Tito and Ernie were extended invitations into the mix after showing the kind of musical inventiveness The Soul Pilots thrive on.

Currently, The Soul Pilots are put all their creative energy into their live shows in Austin/San Marcos while writing new material for a debut album to be announced at a later date.
