Love and be obssessed with what is uncommon yet beautiful.  What is uncommon and beautiful?  The human spirit and soul... you... your heart & core... what makes you unique.  If you’ve been knocked down in life, don’t hate life, stand back up and take on the world... (don’t hate life, hate the world...haha I say that somewhat jokingly).  If you feel like you were wronged then there’s going to be a time of suffering within where you try to figure out what in hell happened and why.  It’s a time of pain that must happen before the healing can occur.  I believe the good-hearted person can and should lay low for a while, but they will always have to rise again to overcome the world’s obsticles.  They will always live again.  If the opinions of others have told you different, ignore them and follow the message from your mind (wisdom), in correlation with the message from your heart (purpose).  If you’ve been knocked down, it’s all right to hurt (though some act as if you should be all sunshine and smiles... your human!)  Give it time, then listen to your soul telling you to stand against the oppression and move forward.  Clarity will come to you along with peace, happiness, blah, blah, blah and all of that great stuff.  Then and only then will you find that LOVE IS ALIVE.

A song/poem I wrote in 2007

"Laying low tonight
Been knocked down by people I trust
One too many times
New wars collide
Evertime I attempt to lift my head
To survive 

Someday we will find love’s alive
Only in few can we confide
Walking that thin line between heart and mind
Without both I can’t have life

Laying low tonight
Clothed in darkness from head to toe
Unable to view light
Greatest fears are preyed upon
Not the fear of dying
The fear of living alone

Someday we will find love’s alive
Only in few can we confide
Walking that thin line between heart and mind
Without both I can’t survive
Without both I can’t have life

It takes big hearts time to realize
You’ve suffered wrong and it’s time to stand
To look oppression in the eye
Sayin, Hey love, I was wrong about you
You stabbed me so deep in the back w/ a jagged knife
I have no choice now but to push it through
Because I can’t  undwind
When pain kills time
And I hope it doesn’t burden me the rest of my life
Bottled on the inside

Someday we will find
Love’s alive
Only in few can we confide
Walking that thin line
Between heart and mind
Without both I can’t have life"

When i wrote that one year ago I couldn’t feel any hope and I was suffering within constantly.  I’ve found love is alive today when I finally learned to LOVE MYSELF and not others soley... when I learned to love myself and not take negativity from others.  I hope you find that love is alive as I have, and I hope that you can always move on and continue living.

Some of us wake up every morning and hear music in our heads.  Some of us will stop at nothing to portray our feelings and artistic purpose through music.  Some of us will never sell out and will always continue writing what comes from our soul even when major execs tell us to change (then the next wk they want you to change again).  Some of us will continue on through all opposition to make music and write songs because it's what gives us peace since we feel like it is our purpose in life.   For those of us classified under this odd yet beautiful category, Gillian Welch has written the perfect song in my opinion.  You are greatly appreciated Gillian!  You pierce the soul and paint pictures with your words. 

Now, here are some lyrics for you die-hard singer/songwriters and musicians out there.

EVERYTHING IS FREE
Album: Time (The Revelator)
Artist: Gillian Welch

Everything is free now
That's what they say
Everything I ever loved
I'm going to give it away
Someone hit the big score
They figured it out
That we're gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay

I can get a tip jar
Gas up the car
And try to make a little change
Down at the bar
Or I can get a straight job
I've done it before
I never minded working hard
It's who I'm working for

Every day I wake up
And I'm in a song
But I don't need to run around
I just stay home
And sing a little love song
My love, to myself
If there's something that you want to hear
You can sing it yourself

'Cause everything is free now
That what I say
No one's got to listen to
The words in my head
Someone hit the big score
And I figured it out
That we're gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay

Yo friends, i finally have some new tunes posted.  Two of the tunes are currently being used by Sony Electronics on their website and at their promotional shows.  The two tunes featured by Sony Electronics are "We Carry On" (the new version of course) and "Peace of Mind".  You can check those tunes out along with "Serenity" and "Find Your Song" on this myspace page.  Concerning these songs, the plan is to release them on a full band album in 2008.  Recording for the full band album will continue over the next several months and will feature Bob Daspit's production and Curt Bisquera's world renowned studio work! 
Besides that, check back on myspace for some new acoustic music that will be released in Spring 2008 on the upcoming album "Halfway to Homeless".  It is about 80% recorded as is.  I'm extremly proud and excited about "Halfway to Homeless" because it has more of an indie/artistic feel than "Basics of Insanity" and I think real music fans will appreciate it and see it as something that can stand the test of time.  I feel it will be a cd that will be completely misunderstood and possibly hated by many, while being loved by the true music fans (those music fans who are always searching for new music over the net because they're tired from the one 20 song rotation featured on their local air waves daily.)  I'll find out soon enough I suppose.  Take it easy

As always, I've passed the deadlines set to finish up these recordings for my next two albums. However, it's sounding nice! The mix on my new four song demo (which will go toward the next full band album) is complete. The demo is getting mastered next week. After the mastering I'll post some tunes up on myspace. I'm also doing some last minute add-ons to the acoustic album. I'm unsure of how long this will take, but I also expect to have a few acoustic tunes on myspace to sample within a month. It's all coming together in perfect time. I just don't want to rush something and put out a cd with anything on it that I don't believe in.
