its intriguing that simple things like old songs you used to listen to constantly can bring you right back to that same place. i remember relentlessly teaching myself on guitar the entire ataris' record "blue skies, broken hearts, next 12 exits". just found it online...went ahead and downloaded. for that particular time, this record was great. i'm still impressed with the song writing, the mixing, and all the catchy guitar riffs. god i love this record. really really really makes me happy. others for this time of my life include the starting line and the blink-182 record. good times.
chant wanted me to find her the lily allen record. just did, and i have to admit...its pretty incredible. she definitely has her own style, one i normally wouldn't give any attention to. but something about it triggered my curiosity, now i'm listening to it in its entirety.
i tried to write some music today. its frustrating that i can stand at work all day and write the best song to date in my head, but then when i'm off work and actually trying...fail miserably. i know it's in me. i know that in some form, its a part of my life. it always has been. i've never wanted anything like i've wanted music. some people are put here to heal. some to govern. some to protect. some to entertain. some to inspire. i'd love to end up on the other side of the norm, and actually appreciate and adore my job. hopefully one day all my cards will align and it'll happen. i don't even care if i play my own music, produce it, record it, promote it...as long as its there i'll enjoy. until next time...
