I’ve decided I’m going to start logging all of the stuff that I write. From little ideas, to full songs. Though I’m terrible with keeping up this blog, I’m just going to go with it for now.

I started writing this one yesterday after reading an interesting article about Lana Del Ray. I won’t get into it for the sake of starting an obscene and unnecessary argument. But it pinpoints certain things I’ve been thinking about a lot lately in how incredibly fickle people can be these days. Even the ones involved in, or listening to what’s said to be the most “pure and honest” music. I think people should just respect everyone for what they listen to, write, create, etc. It’s all a matter of opinion. Anyways…that said:

What is the essence of your art?

Is it something that’s from deep inside your heart?

Or does it all get washed away by what the world wants you to make? so they can throw it all away.

It all seems a little strange what was epic yesterday, is now what everybody hates.

Whats the point in trying to fall in love?

Give yourself away to find your not enough.

So when its over you’re alone, on some strangers couch stoned, or heavy drinking in the comfort of your home.

All that I know, is it doesn’t seem to be worth the overdose.

Just be honest with yourself,  and dont try to be like everyone else.

Here’s a song I wrote today based off of that same idea:

No Moshing at the Arts Barn.

You were once a diamond so cunning in your art.

In my greatest age of impression you showed me a clean start.

But the creases in my face would only contradict my eyes; for a diamond these days, at this age, glistens only for a short time.

 What is it exactly we fear that gets put off to face till the following year?

When it ends, you try to pretend that you won’t make those mistakes again.

cause the new year is here, and you’re still the same my dear.

You were once a writer, blood hungry for big magazines.

But the day you moved to college, you got involved in the wrong scene.

So you wrote what you hate, and they thought it was great, though it lacked your integrity.

But it was just enough, you’re what everyone loves. But its not what you wanted to be.

And the creases in your face, seem to contradict your eyes; for the diamond that you sought to find, glistened for a short time.

What is it exactly we fear that gets put off to face till the following year?

Cause when it ends you try to pretend that you wont make those mistakes again.

But the new year is here, time is ticking away.

Take a look in the mirror, and don’t be the same my dear.

I’m gonna try record this in the next few days and post it up here, or maybe make a video or something. Also, I’m recording an EP at the moment, that will be out in the spring. So if you’re at all interested please “like” my new acoustic project on facebook, just click the link below.

HEY CLICK HERE! YEAH HERE

I’ll be posting some updates and stuff in the next month or so regarding show’s and possibly even a demo or two!

Otherwise, if you hate everything I just wrote, then I’m sorry it took you this long to realise it.
