hello all... it has been a while since i have put fingers to keyboard and tried to stream some small bit of interesting reading onto this blog. what have i been doing? well.... the usual really; writing, gigging and recording. just keeping it all moving along. i am very near completion of the recording of my first EP! that is very exciting although i must say i am not exactly sure what it will sound like yet! you know when you set out to record something wonderful? you have written a song that you are really proud of. people like the song, you like the song, you decide to record it. you feel motivated excited, revolutionary even... you get the good take, you rush it home to listen through your own trusty old stereo... and then you hear it. and no matter how good the song or the recording, it is still just you. your voice, your intonations and just plain old you. it is like being deflated with one single preliminary note rising out of your speakers, when you realise it can only ever be you that sings back to you. and will you ever be revolutionary or magical to yourself? probably not. i guess you just have to hope that you're song and you're voice is something, anything to the ears of another.

does anyone else feel this way or is it just me? dont get me wrong. i love it all. i love the whole process and am proud of creating something from start to finish. it was just a thought i wanted to share, out out there.
