When we look into the future, to the place we haven't gone, see what we haven't done, we have known it all along.
If we wait until tomorrow, will tomorrow ever come? This is where we're coming from, and we're not the only ones. When we find ourselves in trouble, we can find ourselves a way. You can find a place to stay, and the place is always safe.
If you have a heart that's in pain, don't be afraid, you're not to blame. There's a better world inside of us, where we always thought it was. You don't need to hide. You can open up your eyes, and you'll discover that there is another world.
Sorry for the sidetracking there, but although Andrew WK may write a lot of songs about partying, he is one hell of a musician / lyricist. I find myself listening to his song "Totally Stupid" so much recently. That lyric snippet above is from near the end of the song. I love how well written and powerful it is in the song. So awesome. :D
But anywho, I haven't felt the need to update this recently :/ oh well I suppose. Everyone else has been going through a lot of stress and shit the past few weeks and I've just been kinda here, trying to help any way that I can.
I've been trying my hand at writing some songs, not necessarily FIF songs but just songs that I can write so I can prove to myself that I can do it. I came up with a chord progression the other night, it's a bit darker sounding / doesn't sound like what any of our songs would sound like so I don't think I really would like it to be one of our songs. In addition, the majority of it is the same three chords all song. I just sorta started singing random words over it, and it sounded kinda cool so maybe I'll try and finish that up and record it and put it up somewhere.
For a while now I've wanted to actually just write some songs for myself. I come up with so many chord progressions that are never exactly good enough for FIF stuff in my opinion, and mostly sound best on acoustic if you ask me. Stuff that distorted powerchords just wouldn't be able to reproduce. I really hope this isn't making me sound selfish, I just think it'd be cool to write stuff that's separate from my main musical concentration, Forever is Fleeting. I'd prefer singing Jon/Jim's lyrics in front of a bunch of people than my own anyway.
But speaking of Forever is Fleeting, we've got a few songs in the work (I love how I always say that, and months go by and we finish ONE song haha) one being about a certain video game character who happens to have two backside appendages. I'm really looking forward to finishing any of the songs we've started, especially the one I mentioned. We've got a free acoustic show tomorrow (friday) at St Paul's with about 7 other bands, and I'm REALLY looking forward to it because it's not often that we play acoustic, not to mention with that many awesome bands on the bill.
I don't know what else I should write about. I was going to write about how I miss having feelings for anyone, but like... I dunno I feel like it'd be one of those cliche LJs I used to write. I mean, it's been months since I've had real feelings for someone. I miss having something to shoot for, ya know? I don't really hang around people who are like 18+ so it's kinda hard to find someone to like without worrying about some sort of legal mumbo jumbo on my mind. I'm gonna be 20 in like 3 months, and I haven't done anything more than a normal kiss with a girl, and even that hasn't been for almost a year now. I've tried dating sites, pathetic I know, but all I get are the crazy girls who are desperate for attention. Yes, I enjoy the extra attention, but sometimes it gets out of hand and creepy, kinda like the girl I wrote the one entry about. She still IMs / texts me and expects me to answer... seriously?
Meh.
