    1UPYO - Bye Time - Limited Release CD is enclosed in a clear jeweled case. Inside there is a two-sided insert, a back back panel, and the Bye Time compact disc. All featuring limited edition artwork from Doc B. Wildman. There were only 50 of these in existence and as of today (12/1/14) there are less than 10 left.

    Bye Time blends elements of a wide variety of contemporary and classic genres; including rock, soul, disco, hip-hop, progressive rock, jazz, and electronic dance music.
    In doing so, 1upyo utilizes the unique talents of distinctive guest artists including:
    All songs feature drummer Brian ‘Piper’ Barbre and keyboardist Ben Hite of McLaws Drive

    Musician Keller Williams, Vocalist Schiavone McGee of Fighting Gravity,
    MC Pandemic from Gritty City Records, American Idol contestant Aerika Gabbin
    Vocalist Moe Marsh of the Transmitters, Guitar virtuosoThomas Coleman of Schwill, ,
    Virtuoso vocalist Fran Ahern Coleman of Solid Gold Fish Bowl,
    MC Shore 20 from Know Good Records, and more...

    Bye Time is a concept album examining the paradoxes surrounding time. Today we are enslaved by the construct of time, its limits, and its use. We go to great lengths to hoard time, and then we turn around and waste it. We work double-time so we may relax and sleep as a reward. We live in fear of wasting time, yet we have so little quality time, all the while watching the clock.

    By symbolizing these incongruities, the album attempts to lead the listener to realize that time is not our master, rather we control our perception of time. Furthermore, Bye Time aims to illuminate the fact that time is both subjective, unfixed, and ultimately an illusion.

about

1UPYO featuring Schiavone McGee, the former lead singer of Fighting Gravity, on vocals.

lyrics

Starting over
Here and now love shares us all
The past is behind us
And the futures really nothing at all
Ideas arise and crowd me; but they won’t hold me down
My body is a cage around me; but that won’t hold me down
Great enigma, give it all up and you can have it all
Great enigma, gave it all up and now we have it all

Ideas arise, they collide and pairs interlock,
making stable combinations
Until the mysteries are all dispelled,
but our sense of wonderment is not
Our great journey starts this moment in time
One makes up the combinations;
the other makes the choice it takes two to invent anything
Abrupt cross-cuts and transitions;
from one idea to another,
Good ideas result from many ideas
