Confined & Refined

Being Alone... Being alone at times could very well signify an individual's natural desire to revamp or improve his/her self foundation in order to preserve the quality of a better relationship with others.  My theory is that in order to work with other people, one must first learn how to work with one's self.  And, in order to hold onto the best relationship with another individual, one must learn how to carry an endearing relationship with one's self--even if it means revisiting past events.  Never sever the most important matters in life, and never hide away the most prominent thing in you.

Logic drives a mere emotional individual to play games with great expertise.

Emotion drives a mere logical individual to create games with great success.

One who is predominantly emotional is determined.  One who is predominantly logical is rest assured.

Soul Shaker

In my experience, every first quarter represents the most coarse and unforgiving time of year.  I’ve struggled with dire emotions that often plunged my soul into abyss amid winter and spring.  My nemesis is Valentines Day the halo of nightmare and an assailant I must defeat. 

I’ve poured my emotions onto others.  In return, I’ve received impressionable withdraw and fear from spiteful manipulation.  Of all seasons, this season punishes my hopeful spirit with such great vengeance and disdain.  In essence, the most loving time of year shuns me with the most disrespect and agony.  I don’t pry love and I don’t plan to love, and yet I somehow enter its tornado.  I hate this feeling!  I’m exhausted with torment. 

Finally, I cry.  I’ve managed to create my own river of emotion from the plaguing history of defeat on every first of a new year.  Late summer I anticipate and early fall I yearn—these two seasons represent settlement and tranquility for me.  This year, I’d like to break the finish line standing instead of rolling into soothing territory torn; it ain’t gonna happen.  My keen insights guide me well, but also they make me foolish this time of year.  The first sight of hope now gone bothers me significantly.  I was close to maintaining a loving, precious relationship with a powerful soul mate from friendship.  Now, I’ve dropped something that will more than likely drive her away.  She probed me during delicate hours.  I fear losing her and that she will never desire to understand why.  I have never been quite myself with good intentions in similar instances.  Once, I was sore.  Then, my heart numbed.  Now, it’s very dead.  Despair has never seemed so passionate and beautiful.  I’m overwhelmed entirely and just ready to roll again.

Comrades

How does a conventionally honest man feel comfortable telling his future “girlfriend” that she is the most special woman in his current life when he has a girlfriend who is already the most special person in his life?  This is the inception of a superficial relationship.

I find it critically difficult to fathom sharing significant feelings with one woman when I have established those same feelings with another woman.  Sometimes the true feelings one shares with a certain person will not exactly connect.  How does one transfer these feelings to another where connection occurs and be genuine?  It seems as though it is merely a façade.

To Search for Consistency

To search for attention or affirmation tenaciously through others is similar to pouring water inside a pierced bucket.  It only holds for so long before running out.  Think about yourself next to others.  Pour esteem inside you, as you will always hold yourself.  Now, realize.

iAm Not!

I am not a material product.  To say that I am or that I am similar to the material that I own is to imply that things dictate me.  As I was yesterday, I am today as I will be tomorrow.

Fact, matter has changed over centuries along with newer scientific, technological findings and art enlightenment; religion was significant too.  Character and materialism are not directly related and as a result, personality will never change.  Rather, everything will remain consistent in its distinctive context.

In a perfect life, one-hundred years ago, I would have been the same person with or without the same assets and their preponderant value.  One-hundred more, I would have still been the same person with exactly the same ambitions and desires that I possess.  Time does not take precedence over society and neither do objects.  In any society,  people's political prowess among other people stands the test of time and invention.  It confines us, not material.

Lately, my musical renditions have envisioned craze toward quest. The goal has been to leap rather than to step toward something interesting, in electronic music. "Yet Again" certainly reveals a much different Godfrey, a darker yet still existent classy Godfrey. The direction of this release represents the truth that keeps my passion afloat.

Intelligent drum & bass percussions, minimal trance waves, and techno grooves encapsulate the essence of "Yet Again" making it an honest prototype of the darbuka trance sound that I have been constructing. With reference to "Model 25," one of my best and proven attempts at coalescing tribal, deep techno, and intelligent drum & bass percussion, "Yet Again" is house and trance laden. However, it is more club and dance friendly than are my previous releases. The atmosphere is bouncier and punchier, techy and drum driven with a hint of darkness and changing sequences.

Moving forward, my productions are transitioning drastically from just artful expressions to thumping floor statements. It would behoove me to release material that others might not expect of my nature in production. Otherwise, my musical aptitude would stall. With more similar and similarly different projects ahead, such as "Yet Again," the more clearly and more successfully I will able myself to communicate personal growth in music. Moreover, others will have further knowledge about my direction and capabilities, in this art form. I would like my fans and those who have recently drawn interest in my work to understand that I am boundless, yet structured and that I will continue to deliver and recreate what I have initially loved alongside newer comings.
