No more Blogger.

Except for the one that tells you what my Tumblr page is.
It seems Blogger is outdated and out of style, there for irrelevant.
So, for the 5 of you that read this: I'm done here!
See you there.

Stay safe.

New & Inspired.



Chiodos with Brandon Bolmer....
Amazing.
So excited for the new album.
Another band to add to the list that has done everything that I love.
That has made their band MORE than music.
So psyched for this album.
Pre-ordered it actually.
An actual, physical copy.
Weird, I know.
Ordering that actually got me all inspired to start my own CD collection back up.
To actually own a copy of everything I have.
Kinda gonna suck to backtrack and purchase my thousands of dollars worth of music...
And track down all the discs I already own.
Oh well.
Worth it!


&
If this can't get you excited for music, I don't know what can.
Gonna be EPIC.

Oxygen.

Wrote and recorded this today.
Still needs a little work and some cleaning up, but here are the words for your enjoyment.
n_n

It doesn't take much anymore to start a fire, of this I'm sure.
Like water, watch me float away.
And I'm sorry, you don't feel the same.
I know you're not the one to blame.
But, I'm sorry things turned this way.
And Oxygen.
I need your taste.
But so you know, I'm alright, I'm alright.

I made a list and wrote your name.
I stared at stars and read the page, watched the words turn to space.
What's the worst that I could face?
Cross my heart and hope to fly, in this car we are speeding by.
I'm just here for the atmosphere.
I wanted so much.
To let you go, a goodbye.
I'll get by.
Goodbye.


As a whole, definitely doesn't have a standard structure, or really one at all, but I'm finding that's what I'm best with.
Hope you'll dig it when it's all done!

Stay safe.

There's Something About...

A kiss.

At the end of the night.
That takes all those doubts you had throughout the evening and erases them.
Because somewhere, and perhaps often, you did something right.

It's... Refreshing and reassuring.
There are so many things in a kiss and the moments surrounding... I can't even get into it, it twists my mind RIGHT up.

And I love it when... A song, my song fits another moment.
Finds another meaning.
Because, in that moment, I have done what I set out to do.
Mean something to someone and make a difference.
TO be that outlet.
Even if that person is me.
No, especially if that person is me, because I'm the hardest the person to please, my worst critic, and the fact that I, for the first time in my life, was completely proud of the music I created, filled a little hole for me and let me know that what I do, will be able to do the same for another.

Last thought of the night... It's so strange, the passing of time, the passing of moments.
The mere thought of time and what it actually is sends my mind into a frenzy, so I'm gonna stay away from that and onto my point.
It is strange, to me, how two, almost complete strangers, can go from awkward silences and hesitant laughs to the complete opposite in a single night.
The mental transition from stranger to friend astounds me.
I don't know how to put it.
I'm just so curious.
And wish to know so much.
Leads to loads of late nights and wandering minds.
There is so much we, and I will never understand.
Even so, I will never stop searching and seeking out everything that I want.

Stay safe.
