* *Return to Wherever* peaked at #21 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart on December 7, 2019.
* The artwork and themes of *Return To Wherever* suggest a possible link to Ladyworld.

* "Typhoon Turnpike" was inspired by Mario Kart and the many times the band played the game while on tour.
	+ The unison rhythm and drum fill sections in "Typhoon Turnpike" bear similarity to Masayoshi Takanaka's song "Blue Lagoon."
* The guitar part in "Under the Sun" was inspired by Tatsuro Yamashita's song "Sparkle."
* "Cosmic Tides" bears similarity to Tatsuro Yamashita's song "Bomber."

## Lyrics

**Verse:**

Me and you

Plus you and me

It equals one baby

There's nothing more

I ever need

Can't get enough lady

(Oh my lord)

Cause every I try to say goodbye

Your body tells me hello

And every single time I lose my cool

You keep me on the level

In this life

There's nothing promised

To us nowadays

So much pressure

I can't take it on my own

**Chorus:**

Now more than ever

We're gonna need each other

All of this passion (all of this pressure)

Pleasure, can't forget about it

Now more than ever

We're gonna need each other

**Verse:**

You may just a speck on a rock floating through outer space

But when I see you smile I my universe across your face

Every single life is precious no matter who you are

And when ya shinin’ oh, you shine, you do, you’re brighter than the stars

Everyone we got a song that needs to be sung

And when we come together the world will sing as one

And right now’s our time

**Chorus:**

Now more than ever

We’re gonna need each other

To feel true pleasure (so special)

We’re gonna need each other

Now more than ever we’re gonna need each other

**Bridge:**

You're the only one

Only one for me

**Chorus:**

Now more than ever

We’re gonna need each other

With all of this pressure (so much pressure)

We’re gonna need each other

Now more than ever we’re gonna need each other

More than ever...

**Outro:**

Today we need each other more than ever

Tell ya momma that love her

Tell ya friends that you love them

Cause we need each other more than ever

Tell ya daddy that you love him

Tell a stranger that you love them

Cause we need each other now more than ever
Pale Blue Dot

**"Pale Blue Dot"** is the third song from TWRP EP, *Believe In Your Dreams*. The song prominently features themes about planet earth.

## Lyrics

**Introduction:**

Listen up, I wanna tell you something

**Verse:**

Ooh, yeah

Mother, daughter, father, son

All acting like they're only one

Our children of the blue dot

Don't take for granted what you got

Alone in this wide galaxy

At least as far as you can see

Out there is the human race

Spiraling faster and faster increasing in pace

It's time we thought about the future of planet earth

Of life on Earth

Of planet Earth

**Chorus:**

The future of planet Earth (The pale blue dot)

The future of life on Earth (the pale blue dot)

I'm talking about the future, yeah

**Verse:**

Brothers, sisters all as one

We dance until the morning comes

Out on the dance floor we have found

A reason to lay our weapons down

If we're to reach the stars above

Right here, right now

You must spread love, love, love, love

The stars above, above, ooh yeah

**Chorus:**

The future of planet Earth (The pale blue dot)

The future of life on Earth (The pale blue dot)

'Cause it's the only one you've got

**Carl Sagan:**

From this distant vantage point

The Earth might not seem of any particular interest

But for us, it's different

Consider again that dot

That's here, that's home, that's us

On it, every one you love, every one you know, every one you've ever heard of

The only home we've ever known.

## Trivia

* "Pale Blue Dot" features an excerpt from Carl Sagan's *Pale Blue Dot* as read by Carl himself.

Pets

**"Pets"** is the eleventh track from TWRP's 2018 album, *Together Through Time*. The song is notable for not only it's 7/4 time signature, but it's sentimental lyrical themes. Written in memory of Doctor Sung's cat, Dangus, "Pets" is a celebration of all pets everywhere and the impact they have the lives of their owners. In a 2018 reddit AMA, Doctor Sung shared the following:

> "When my cat, Angus, passed away last year while we were in the process of writing the album, I knew that the best thing I could do to honour and memorialize him was through a song. For sure it was emotionally charged for all of us to record and produce, but it never really was a concern that it might be a "downer" of a song - sure, it's bittersweet and cathartic, but it's also a celebration of his life, and the lives of everyone's animal friends everywhere. And if there's one thing we stand for, it's about celebrating."
>

## Lyrics

**[Verse:]**

Knew each other all our lives

Through the bad and the good times

Lucky you were a friend of mine

Didn’t want to say goodbye

**[Chorus:]**

This ode of sorts is

owed to you

I hope you have found bliss

and lots of treats too

It’s hard to say when

We’ll meet again

Good bye my sweet friend

Up in pet heaven

**[Verse:]**

I used to hold you in my arms

And always kept you safe from harm

For that you kept my heart full and warm

**[Pets:]**

This ode of sorts is

owed to you

Hope you have found bliss

And lots of treats too

Its hard to say when

We’ll meet again

Good bye sweet friend

Up in pet heaven

**[Bridge:]**

You brought us closer together

You gave us love and laughter

But I knew that having you around

Would have to end someday

And even though that sucks

I wouldn’t have it any other way

I learned from you about myself

And even though I knew all along

Nothing lasts forever

You will live forever in this song

Good bye

My friend

See You

Again

## Lyrics

**Verse:**

Somewhere, somewhere out there

There is something incredible to discover

Somewhere way, way out there

There is something that will bring us all together

If we can just keep our shit together

long enough to see the stars

There’s no telling how far

How far we’d go

**Chorus:**

Somewhere out there stirs

Something deep inside

Not so different you and I

We all smile and we all cry

And I know, I know yes I do

I know that we can survive

And in time we’ll reach beyond the sky

**Verse:**

Somewhere, somewhere out there

There is a home for all the dreamers

All of us dreamers

We just need to understand one another

Well enough to heal the scars

We’ve all made it this far, so don’t let go

**Chorus:**

Somewhere out there stirs

Something deep inside

Not so different you and I

We do our best just to get by

And I know, yes I do (baby, I just know we can)

I know that we can all thrive

And in time we’ll reach beyond the sky

**Bridge:**

The sky will be ours

And someday we will reach the stars

And we’ll live forever

**Chorus:**

Somewhere out there stirs

Something deep inside

Not so different you and I (much in common)

We all vibe or we all die

And I know, yes I do (yes I know it baby)

In peace we can live our lives (with a little bit of love)

And in time we’ll reach beyond the sky

Stone LaChismo

Stone LaChismo photographed by Ryan Ritchie

**Stone LaChismo** was the first bass player for TWRP and brother to Doctor Sung. He was active from the band's formation in 2007 up until his departure in 2011. Stone wore a rust-colored morphsuit and a mask with two hoses. He was succeeded by Atomicawk Startrotter.

## Career

Stone LaChismo played bass during TWRP's early years. He played bass on *Sex Is A Machine That Likes To Dance* and *Poised To Dominate*.

### Early Life

> "In dimensions beyond there are no separate words for 'love' and 'groove', nor a clear distinction between 'light' and 'funk'. Stone makes love to the masses because he grooves. That is his purpose. Little is known of his past life due to a speech impediment caused by the inability of his vocal chords to adjust to the atmosphere of this dimension (How can you creatures breathe with all this oxygen in the air?). Some leading physicists say his basslines are derived from erroneous Quantum mechanic equations such as vector space calculations of probable outcomes and discrepancies in the theory of wave-particle duality. Other scientists argue that his basslines are not basslines at all, but instead a complex mathematical language that when decoded will provide blueprints for a cold fusion reactor. His mantra is simple. Where once there was darkness, there will be funk. Where once there was hate, there shall be groove. Amidst a cacophony of otherworldly melody and manic, infectious rhythm, the being known only as Stone: funk incarnate marches the love machine that is Tupper Ware Remix Party forward. With a towering wall of bass he seeks to solidify his role in this dimension as a harbinger of peace and prosperity."

### Present Day

Stone occasionally streams with Doctor Sung on The Cone Zone.

I split the atom with a high kick baby

I am a master cause I practice daily

Doctor Sung's Seven Steps For So You Can Be A Better High Kicker

Doctor Sung caught mid-high kick

Commander Meouch

Havve Hogan

***Doctor Sung's Seven Steps For So You Can Be A Better High Kicker*** is a series of Instagram videos released between February 26 and April 25, 2016. In what started off as a seven-step program, Doctor Sung demonstrated his tips and training "for so you can be a better high kicker". As the program progressed, each step became increasingly more nonsensical and Doctors Sung's introduction became more incoherent, often resulting in poor grammar and mispronunciations of his own name. Lord Phobos, Commander Meouch, and Havve Hogan had minor appearances in a few of the videos.
Dangus

Dangus with Doctor Sung

> "I learned from you about myself, and even though I knew all along nothing last for ever, you will live forever in this song" - "Pets" from Together Through Time
>
>

**Dangus** was Doctor Sung's orange tabby cat that was featured in various photos and videos. Dangus's real name was Angus.
Dangus was the subject of the song "Pets" on the album Together Through Time. In a reddit AMA, Doctor Sung shared the following:

> "When my cat, Angus, passed away last year while we were in the process of writing the album, I knew that the best thing I could do to honour and memorialize him was through a song. For sure it was emotionally charged for all of us to record and produce, but it never really was a concern that it might be a "downer" of a song - sure, it's bittersweet and cathartic, but it's also a celebration of his life, and the lives of everyone's animal friends everywhere. And if there's one thing we stand for, it's about celebrating."
>

## Trivia

* Dangus appeared in four videos uploaded to Instagram

	+ Street Art with Doc Sung Holiday Edition: Part 1
	+ Spacedolls

**Verse:**

We shook the pillars of heaven

The journey of the student and sensei

You know you can be the very best

With knowledge now available

Available on VHS

Everything at your fingertips

Touch of a button and then that’s it

Give the order and it will be yours

No one will ever have foreseen

The force of nature that you will be

When you look upon that TV screen… CRT

**Chorus:**

You can learn of the ancient ways

The journey of the student and sensei

You know you can be the very best

With knowledge now available

Available on VHS

**Bridge**

A new life awaits you if you don’t delay

Say goodbye to your troubles that you feel today

If you choose ascension and you pay your dues

You and all your new friends will rise to a new dimension

You can learn of the ancient ways

The journey of the student and sensei

You know you can be the very best

With wisdom now available

You’ll never be the same again

With only 3 easy payments

It can be yours on VHS

## Lyrics

**Verse:**

Lift it up

And put it down

Run real fast

Jump off the ground

Work it hard

Because you deserve nothing but the best

Nine to five

Then overtime

Week end comes

It’s your time to shine

Come so far

And now you’re gonna put in all on the line

**Chorus:**

Unlock your hidden potential

(unlock it)

You can do anythin’

Unleash the beast that lies within

(Unleash it)

Unlock your hidden potential

(Unlock it)

Trust in yourself and you will set the bar

You will set the bar, reach the stars!

**Verse:**

Under dog

You’ll show em all

Overcome

Against all odds

No holds barred

Because you know it doesn’t end at the finish line

Whistle blows

Your training kicks in

Blood runs high

And you’re ready to win

Don’t stop now

You can almost taste sweet victory

**Chorus:**

Unlock your hidden potential

(unlock it)

You can do anythin’

Ignite the fire deep inside

(Ignite it)

Oh oh oh

Unlock your hidden potential

(Unlock it)

Believe in your strength and you can reach the stars

And you will go far, set the bar, reach the stars!

**Chorus:**

Unlock your hidden potential

You’ve got to let it out

Unleash the beast that lies within

Come on baby, you can do it now

Unlock your hidden potential, yeah

You can do anything!
Believe In Your Dreams (song)

**"Believe In Your Dreams"** is the first song from TWRP's EP of the same name.

## Lyrics

There is a place where you can go

And find happiness and peace of mind

Up in the sky beyond the stars

Free from the laws of all space and time, time and space baby

This place in your imagination

Can be whatever destination

A trip to make you feel elation

Just close you eyes see with your mind

And leave all of your woes behind

I know that you can see

So close your eyes and dream with me

You're in the place where do know

That reality is your design

Believe in your dreams

The future is yours and mine

I said, I said, I said, oooh baby

No matter what your situation

In spite of trial and tribulation

Just feel the positive vibration

Sometimes the world is cruel it seems

But after night the sun will beam

You just have to believe,

Believe in your dreams right now

A Very Phobos Christmas

***A Very Phobos Christmas*** is an EP by Lord Phobos, released on December 2, 2022.

* This marks the first time that Phobos has sung on a recording.
	+ This is also the first time his singing has featured different pitches unlike his short covers that were sung monotonously.

Super Hero Training

Havve Hogan Mid-Air during Super Hero Training

***Super Hero Training*** is a series of videos released between May 27 and June 3, 2016 on Instagram, that feature Doctor Sung, Lord Phobos, and Havve Hogan leaping off of a rock formation and landing heroically. Each video features a unique music track by an unknown composer, but most likely from someone in TWRP. The music in Havve Hogan's video bears a heavy resemblance to "Landfill: Earth" from Groove Crusader's EP *Justice Wears High Tops*. Lord Phobos' video music bears a heavy resemblance to "Starlight Brigade" from *Together Through Time*.
Bombus Tron

Bombus Tron playing the "fun rack"

**Bombus Tron** was the original guitar player for TWRP. He wore a hot pink morphsuit with a black and hot pink helmet that obscured his eyes. In addition to playing guitar, Bombus Tron would play the "fun rack," a percussion rack with rototoms, woodblocks, and more.

## Appearance

### 2009-2010

Bombus Tron wore a silver morphsuit with black boxer shorts worn on the outside, sunglasses, and headphones. In 2010, Bombus Tron switched to a metallic red morphsuit with bright green pants. He continued to wear headphones and sunglasses.

### 2011-2012

In early 2011, Bombus Tron began wearing a purple morphsuit with sunglasses and headphones. By the end of the year, his outfit evolved into a red-orange tunic and bright yellow shorts over a purple morphsuit. He continued to wear headphones but swapped his sunglasses for a pair with bright yellow frames. During this time, Bombus Tron also wore a long, hot pink stocking cap.

### 2012-2013

Bombus Tron's final outfit was a hot pink morphsuit with black and hot pink armor worn on his shoulders, forearms, knees, and a matching codpiece. He also wore a helmet with visor with hot pink stripes that obscured his face except for his mouth and nose. The helmet was topped with a black feather boa mohawk.

L.A.D.Y. Radio

**"L.A.D.Y. Radio"** is the eighth track from TWRP's 2019 album, *Return to Wherever*. The song features JP Hasson and serves as an introduction to "All Night Forever."

## Trivia

* A popular fan theory suggests that L.A.D.Y. Radio is the same radio station that is heard on "Ladyworld." A consequence of this theory is the inconsistency it creates with economy presented in "Ladyworld." In "Ladyworld," it is stated that "...everything is free," yet the DJ offers coupons for a free drink in "L.A.D.Y. Radio" which would suggest that everything is not actually free.
