AHHHH!!!
yesterday was the first day in the recording studio!!
12 hrs. and we got about 1/2 a song done.. haha but it is starting to sound AMAZING!!!!! ah i cannot wait for you guys to hear it!!!! its such a fun album, and i have like this huge arsenal of instruments at my disposal!!! anything i can pretty much imagine i am able to play.. everything on this album is going to be real, real instruments that is. and completely Acoustic nothing electronically. and that has shown to be a daunting challenge.
i am very excited about this album and the direction i am going in with it. . its fun, easy listening, and epic! and that makes me happy!! the ending for the song we started yesterday is the most amazing ending to a song you will ever hear in your life! ahhh! i love church bells. haha. pure awesome. well i much go eat brunch now. so i Hope you all have a fabulous day! and here are some lyrics for you. incomplete. but in the process. hope you like. just the first verse.
untitled. (so far.)
Strolling through this barren winter land
No Inspiration comes to hand
Everyone says its so majestic
I cant seem to digest it.
The snow angels glistened
But now they've flown away
Like everything else
I'm left here cold, waiting for May.

Clamatic Silence
Alrighty! i get to start recording my album this Saturday!! so here is another song to read! ha, well its called Clamatic Silence, no i dint spell that wrong, CLAMATIC, its probably not a word but I'm using it anyways. Its the use of the word Calamity like a loud silence, kinda an oxymoron. well it works for me so I'm using it. there is no other word that works well enough so i had to make one. i have felt (am feeling this) its also for a friend who is going through some stuff that sucks monkey balls, so i wrote a song about it, mostly about feeling like there is something inside you and you need to get it out you know its there and its just growing and growing, until it snaps. something occurs at that moment something beautiful, this thing you have been feeling this calamity inside portrayed as silence, is let free, now do something with it.
Clamatic Silence-
We go by with questions
Without answers in our hearts
(We don't see the emptiness inside)
And we try to live content
But we can't haul this all
(No, its too much to hide)
And there's this Clamatic Silence
Screaming out, Inside of me
I wanna shout, scream out loud
Waves breaking
I cant breathe now
(Won't you be my snorkel)
I gasp for breath
I need your help
(Come resuscitate me)
And there's this Clamatic Silence
Screaming out, Inside of me
I wanna shout, scream out loud
BREAK!!
There's this Clamatic Silence
Screaming out, from inside of me
I'm shouting out, Screaming Now.

Moments.
OK, so.
i get to start recording my Solo record Dec 6th!!
very strange, all songs that no one has heard, and everything (well kinda) is Completely acoustic for every song, until the end of the album, you see all the songs fit together like a lifetime, everything is about thoughts, sounds, emotions, and one love song, cause what is life without love?
Then at the end of the album all the choruses and bridges of all the songs will come together, and explode, massive harmonies, and all these electronic instruments it will be the hugest most epic end to a record you will ever hear. everything will be combined, cause they say when you die your life flashes before your eyes.
The name of the album is "Over and Out" its an oxymoron, but it fits the idea of the record completely, keep in mind though this is not a Conceptualized record, not a concept record, more of a record of life. a biographical story. so, some more lyrics for you for one of the songs.. so without further a-do: "Moments"
There's a park bench at noon
I sit on everyday. everyday.
Watch the people passing by
Buried in their busy lives. buried deep.
Their racing, sprinting
Through a mapped out life, today
Won't you break away? (break away)
Could you spare a moment?
Could you spare your mind?
Are you even listening,
To whats going on?
The trees sway, the footsteps echo
The wind in your hair, my words sung in despair.
I sit here everyday,
at noon at yesterday. yesterday.
The same people passing by,
Underneath the same old sky. buried deep.
Their racing, sprinting
Through their mapped out lives again. Break away
Could you spare a moment?
Could you spare your mind?
Are you even listening,
To whats going on?
The trees sway, the footsteps echo
The wind in your hair, my words sung in despair.
These moments fading now
Time is running out
These moments fading fast
Weren't these made to last

Tearing Through The Night.
The Situation:
so I'm writing this art history paper right now, i hate school so much you wouldn't understand, i know some people don't like school sure, but, nothing as dramatic as me, seriously i would rather be in prison than here, i want to just leave, go play music all over the united states; even if i had to walk everywhere i would like it better. School was not made for me, or I just not for it.
The Rut:
I don't want to disappoint my mother, I'm going to school to try and make her proud, "be a good kid", but it doesn't feel that way, it just feels like i am getting into tremendous Debt, and not having fun doing it, not enjoying it at all, and waisting her money, that's just what it feels like, i don't know anymore, i am a sophomore. Still i want to make her proud, i know that might not be a good thing, but, she has spent her whole life just being the best mother she has ever been, doing everything she could for all four of us, most of the time understanding what we are going through, and i want to show her that, that means something to me and this seems like the best way to do it, but i can't stand it here, at this very moment a tear just fell on my desk, seriously i don't know how much longer i can take it, (no not life, I'm not talking about suicide) just this life in general, that i have been put into, where i am at, i mean sure there are little things that are good and awesome. but the big picture is i hate this. completely,
i usually write music and songs about how i feel, here is how i feel right now, the "she" in the song can be interpreted as you may like, i wrote it about 45 min ago, and my intent for it is a girl in California i am crazy about, but i guess subconsciously i could have been writing about my mother too.. her we go..
The Song Lyrics. :
Tearing Through The Night
Could insanity explain this all?
To talk to the world.
Dear moon,
Would you please not shine tonight?
I don't wanna have to write
Another limerick or rhyme
A sonnet of love I cannot express
Of actions I cannot accept as Voluntary
Not truly
The Firefly's begin to twinkle in the twilight
Like the town used to, Tearing through the night
My thoughts are tearing through the night
Darkness Screaming Now
Angels Crying Loud
Twilight Breaking, I can't breath now
I cant take this,
Could Insanity explain this all?
To talk to the world.
Dear sun,
Could you please not shine so bright?
Your hurting my tear filled eyes,
Could you fade into the distance?
That would be a glorious Surprise
I don't wanna have to write words
I cannot Verbalize
Words she wouldn't understand.
The Firefly's begin to twinkle in the twilight
Like the town used to, Tearing through the night
My thoughts are tearing through the night
Darkness Screaming Now
Angels Crying Loud
Twilight Breaking, I can't breath now
I cant take this,
My heart breaks,
Angels cry,
I just lie,
This world is full of fakes,
I just sye,
I need to try,
Even when my heart breaks.
Darkness Screaming Now
Angels Crying Loud
Twilight Breaking, I try to breath now
I fight this all.

Depressing Much?
ok so, today is an alright day, a thoughtful day. this is the beginning of a song i started working on, just the first verse, so far, kinda depressing im not gunna lie, just some stuff going on in life and with others.. i wanted to try and get it all finished today but it is better if you let this kinda stuff stool a bit, it makes you more angry and then the words come easier... but im playing a battle of the bands in about 45min. so i need to get ready, here it goes.
I feel the hate
This worthless trait,
Embraced
Around this world today.
I can't give in
I mussent fall,
Our minds play tricks on us all.
I feel so empty, so empty
Misplaced,
I dont belong here,
I can not call this home..
I feel the hate
This worthless trait,
Embraced
Around this world today.
I can't give in
I mussent fall,
Our minds play tricks on us all.
I feel so empty, so empty
Misplaced,
I dont belong here,
I can not call this home..

Listen.
ok, so some of you may have heard of an organization called invisible children. And, if you haven't, go hear about it!
Anyways, I am a songwriter,and after I watched their documentary "Rough Cut" I wrote a song about how it made me feel. well really it started out as a poem and blossomed into a song.
Hopefully my band will get it recorded soon and ill be able to post a clip of it up so you will actually be able to hear it, so, anyways, sorry about rambling, i do it when it is 2:52 am, and i have to be at the Plasma donating place to get jabbed in my arm with a giant needle at 9am yay!!! ha.
OK so anyways here are the lyrics read them and be moved my them, listen to them and let them change you, think about life and the things around it. go. -->
Thousands of voices all as one
echo through my mind
fear and heartache, death and war
prayers of an end
(this isnt the end..)
Can you hear them screaming?
Can you feel the chill in the darkness?
Can you feel their hearts racing?
Are you even listening?
(listen..)
tales of a mother, tears for her son
a pain i can't explain
all the children missing
where have they gone?
(come back to us..)
Can you hear them screaming?
Can you feel the chill in the darkness?
Can you feel their hearts racing?
Are you even listening?
(listen..)
Are you listening to the voice
In the back of your mind
The one telling you
Everything isn't fine?
