From This Might Be A Wiki

Just posted at www.DialASong.com…

 
you and I will be together when we shed our memory
I won’t wear an orange sweater when I get it off of me
when it’s as it someday is it always will have been the case
when your ever searching finger finds the button marked erase
 
finger find the button marked erase
like a deep sea diver falling into a mermaid’s embrace
put one box on the sidewalk then you return with the next and the first one’s gone
everyone gets on the bus out of town and the lights start going out one by one
 
button marked erase
when darlings must be murdered 
when your heartbreak overwhelms your heart
 
think of this as solving problems that should never have occurred 
please don’t call it strangulation, that is such an ugly word
 
press erase, ignore the shrill alarms
see the way the deep sea diver falls into the mermaid’s arms
put one box on the sidewalk then you return with the next and the first one’s gone
everyone gets on the bus out of town and the lights start going out one by one
 
button marked erase
when darlings must be murdered 
when your heartbreak overrides the very
thing you can not face
the skeletons that won’t stay down
the mercy kill that can’t be drowned
 
put. box. sidewalk. then. return. next. first one gone.
everyone. on. bus. out. lights. off. one by one.
 
finger find the button marked erase
like a deep sea diver falling into a mermaid’s embrace
put one box on the sidewalk then you return with the next and the first one’s gone
everyone gets on the bus out of town and the lights start going off one by one
 
 
Erase is available now on iTunes and on Amazon
 
 
Why is the world in love again? 
DIAL-A-SONG IS BACK.
 
Yes, starting now, They Might Be Giants will be presenting a new song each week, returning to our roots as the progenitors of the FREE MUSIC FOR EVERYBODY movement. 
 
Monday evenings the new Dial-A-Song recordings will premiere on Slate’s "The Gist" with Mike Pesca. 
 
On Tuesdays the song will be posted for your streaming pleasure via www.dialasong.com and via TMBG's YouTube channel ParticleMen. (We encourage people to subscribe to our YouTube channel to get notice of the postings straight away.)
 
The new songs will also be available through iTunes and other fine online music purveyors. 
 
And finally they will be posted on our FREE smartphone apps.
 
INTRODUCING DIAL-A-SONG DIRECT SUBSCRIPTIONS
 
Well, Dial-A-Song Direct subscribers get the songs FIRST and in whatever format they prefer (including the super hi-fi FLAC format). So you’ll have the new track direct from us in your inbox. No muss, no fuss all 52 tracks for just $30. That’s… a lot less than iTunes! And your subscription supports this effort directly! You know what to do!
 
Whenever you join Dial-A-Song Direct you get the new posted songs and the remainder of the 52 songs arrive in your (or your friend’s) inbox every week for the rest of the year. We are partnering with the good folks at Drip.fm to fulfill all the songs with download links. (We like to think Drip stands for "Dial-A-Song Recordings Is Perfect.") We have explored their service completely and can assure you it is highly reliable with a clean interface. 
 
This is how you get it: www.drip.fm/dial-a-song-direct
 
If you want to give a subscription to Dial-A-Song Direct to a friend, just put their email address in the form and fill out the rest yourself. They’ll get a new song immediately and a brief explanation of the service (but you’ll have to tell them it’s from you! They will be psyched!)
 
AND DAS DIRECT SUBSCRIBERS: INTRODUCING DIAL-A-SONG BONUS FRIDAYS
 
Prepare for more! Bonus Fridays is a place for dustified tracks from the dustified stacks, along with demos old and new 
to get a chance to march around in the sunshine for just a brief moment. These songs are RARE and have been rescued from obscurity but not from compromised fidelity, so people concerned with sonic beauty—please don’t get your hopes up. But the ideas—the IDEAS! Dial-A-Song subscribers can expect a bonus track every other week. We want to keep the quality zesty and unusual!
 
THE DIAL-A-SONG RADIO NETWORK IS 100+ STATIONS STRONG!
 
…and going international. If you are a DJ on a college, community or commercial terrestrial radio station join us and broadcast the 2015 Dial-A-Song experience. We are organizing interviews with the band, and making IDs as we type! All the information is here:

In 2013, They Might Be Giants performed their first album live to a sold-out house at Royce Hall in Los Angeles, and much of that legendary performance was captured in the First Album Live recording which the band has posted as a free download on their website. With over 40,000 downloads to date, the recording has sparked much new interest in this most startling of debuts.

Sunday March 29 - Songs from Flood

This show will focus on the band's exceptional 2007 release The Else.

Blige, My Brightest Diamond).
