Lyrics

Verse I

Savannah, church and schoolgirl crush
Barn dance every Friday night
GunnerJames crossed the dance floor
He don't know all her Life Goals to rule the world

Chorus

And I will be heard And will be seen
The world won't waylay me,
And you won't be mean
I will climb Everest, and Surf in the Gold Coast.
The world won't waylay me
And I will rule the world.

Verse II

GunnerJames lived in Circleville
High School always team captain
Brazen trail led to nowhere
Father hated his Life Goal to rule the world

Chorus
And I will be heard And will be seen
The world won't waylay me,
And you won't be mean
I will climb Everest, and Surf in the Gold Coast.
The world won't waylay me
And I will rule the world.

Refrain
And I will ski Jackson
Dive in the Red Sea...

Jail House Album Review

The JailHouse

Before you do anything, look at the album cover. Just take a moment and look at all of the shapes and the feeling of it. Ok, that is how this album sounds. The cosmic sound waves carry you through this album. This isn’t necessarily about getting a
message across, but the Dream Pop band is more about pleasing listeners aesthetically.

Dennis Bestafka’s synthed-out guitar along with the feather touch of Bill Mowery on the drums blends perfectly with Tarabud’s vocals. The album can fill a room without disturbing it. The sound becomes just part of the décor, almost fading into the background.

Listen to The Innocence

After just a few seconds, you can tell that they are recreating the 80’s and 90’s synth pop sound. Taking from major names like Smiths, U2 and My Bloody Valentine, Sentinel has harnessed all of these sounds into a beautiful concoction that easily
passes over the listener. Every track is similar, yet distinct enough to feel a change in the mood. These subtle changes are what gives Sentinel their charm and appeal. Sentinel has been releasing albums for 11 years. Although this is the first album that I have listened to personally, I am looking forward to listening to the other five albums.

Performer Magazine Album Review of "For Days Deep"

Album Review: For Days Deep
By Keane Li

Oakland dream pop quartet Sentinel's For Days Deep marks the band's fifth release since forming in 2001. Evolving with unexpected line-up changes within the past year, the band was forced to deconstruct, reevaluate, and ultimately rebuild their sound from the bottom up. While their previous release, Kites Without Strings is varied and eclectic in comparison, like a series of different ideas connected, For Days Deep offers a matured conciseness and a crisp quality that adds clarity to their already very warm sound. Says vocalist and bassist Tarabud, "We progressed as a band by being open to much more experimentation and raw moods; spending many afternoons tinkering through ideas over and over again, allowing space for those happy mistakes."
The album opens with "Kinda Light Up," quickly exhibiting Sentinel's pulsating guitar and lush
vocal harmonic qualities. The trademark Sentinel echo and reverb are there, creating a wistful soundscape consistent with their dreamlike sound. Within their robust ocean of audio are a few particularly remarkable moments: the strong guitar riff in "Finale," reminiscent of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name," provides a very catchy push forward for the song; and on "As the Crow Flies," a strong chorus melody dramatically dips down into the crux of its lyrics. "I know the breeze of your stormy seas," sings Tarabud before the song re-enters another driving verse. As a whole, the pop sensibilities in For Days Deep - the quick emergence of verses and danceable rhythms - make the record easily digestible and readily enjoyable for a wide variety of listeners.
