don't stop me now.

today must have been one of the laziest days i've had in months. aside from going to the store to pick up some dish soap and oranges, i've wasted the day by watching futurama, playing grand theft auto, and hanging out with colin.
the next few weeks are about to get much busier. on the 30th, colin and i are heading to victoria to play a gig. we've encorporated a few standard jazz tunes, and a silly tune "i'm a just a gigalo" (yup, defs colin's pick). elizabeth is coming along as well, and we're going to meet a group of writers, musicians and artists. following the gig will be drinks on the house, and a whole lot of partying!
i am also really excited about the band that gillian and i are putting together. gillian and i have really similar taste in music, so we've started compiling ideas together to get a feel of where things could go. it's been really cool using the looping pedal to layer vocal harmonies, percussion, piano and guitar. we meet every tuesday, and it's always an amazing time.
on feb 6th, liz and i are heading to vancouver to sing backup vocals for Michael Bernard Fitzgerald. michael is a rising musician, and his music sounds kinda like jason mraz. check him out: http://www.michaelbernardfitzgerald.com/ it will be a great opportunity to build connections and kinda see how the music biz works. and following this will be partying! wahoo.
annnd aside from all the fun stuff is keyboard, theory, and computers homework. i've skipped a few classes this past week to listen to new albums and create new stuff... meh. music school is too structured anyway.
maybe this week i should attend all my classes...

i am who i am.

fake light from the sun (fiction plane)

fake light from the sun
it's driving me mad
it's poisoned our good name

somebody said
the sky's turning red
no one can be trusted

i want you to know that the sky's full of wires

fake light from the sun
it's all in my mind
your nature is so kind
this water tastes bitter
when i have been fooled
your absence is so cruel

pfx.

i died and came back to life today after watching the Pink Floyd Experience live.
so beautiful. and when Hey You came on, i forgot where i was!
such a great night.

(recurring theme)

slipped through my fingers.

karma.

don't judge me, you could be me in another life, in another set of circumstances.

new choices.

re-organizing my life.

lost at sea.

i don't think i've ever felt so alone.

a thousand years.

a thousand years, a thousand more,
a thousand times a million doors to eternity
i may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
an endless turning stairway climbs
to a tower of souls
if it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
the towers rise to numberless floors in space
i could shed another million tears, a millions breaths,
a million names but only one truth to face

life and times.

severed ties. broken strings.
and a heart that won't beat.

fragile as the moment.

if you could see the world
through my eyes
you would see everything
just as it's meant to be.
