music is what you make of it. i’ve spent too much time over the years judging artists by the way I perceive to be the ‘right way’ to make music. there’s no right or wrong way; and there’s only a formula if you use a recipe. i need to realize that it doesn’t matter whether music is made for the radio or for only you to hear. i need to stop saying that certain artists shouldn’t create music because i don’t enjoy it; they’re doing it because they do. and by the way, anyone who can’t at least have respect for justin bieber’s unadulterated talent, not necessarily his music, is a fucking idiot.
I get such bad reception on the radio | I miss those songs that make me feel like I’m at home | It’s time to navigate and use these stars like GPS | This town is no place for a homesick heart to rest | That air is insulin | You’re my first breath | And home is where my heart belongs | It calls me when I’m gone so I can find my way home | To where my heart belongs | It calls me when I’m gone so I can find my way tonight | I can’t sleep | These walls around me keep me wide awake | I learned it’s not life that’s hard but loosing what feels safe | You’re father says “come, daughter, hearts like yours will never age” | I wish I felt the same | I look up to the sky and know the land I walk | The dirt beneath my feet | And only I can find that place | I pray the simple things carry my soul home | To where it’s meant to be | And that’s where I’ll stay.
I can’t believe how long it has been since I’ve posted on here. My use of tumblr has been very unbalanced; always checking up on how other people are doing but never reporting on my life. Hopefully 2011 will give me some tumblr worthy news. I hope that 2010 was as great of a year for everybody as it was for me. The year presented me with a lot of great things, including the opportunity to join a couple of great bands. I chose to stay in school and continue on my pursuit towards writing and producing for other musicians. I’ve already begun working with some incredibly talented people and can’t wait to show everybody what I’ve been doing. I’ll be sure to post on here much more often this year. In the meantime, be sure to ‘like’ these artists, I have a feeling 2011 will be a promising and rewarding year for them…
it’s been real hectic the past few days… and hot. but i finally got chance to get on here and update you on what i’ve been up to. the last two days we played in San Antonio, TX and Arlington, TX at Six Flags. both of the shows have been mindblowing and so exhilerating. i never imagined that i would ever play in front of a crowds of this size. tonight, we got a chance to ride on a couple of sweet roller coasters in Arlington, and also experience Matt’s brilliant job of TM’ing the situation (multiple times). tomorrow, were off to play a party on an off day before heading to Tempe, AZ. time to get some sleep, it’s been hard for me too because late at night has been the only time ive really had to chill out. i’ll post again soon, promise.
It’s been a while since I’ve updated this but we’ve all been really busy on the road. The BLG tour is well on its way and going splendidly. All of the shows have been so much fun and we’ve played in front of great crowds. Last night we played St. Petersburg, FL which was rediculously hot but still a great show. We had the chance to finally chill with the NSN boys too without having to yell over a sound check. Right now, were on our way to Ft. Lauderdale, listening to the new Hit The Lights ep and digesting some Moes. I’m gonna go back to sleep now but I’ll try my best to update this more often.
