I'll Keep My Feet Straight On The Ground...


Jim - hmmm... It's the weekend and I'm hating every moment of it. I really need to do something... crack out of this shell... do something worth something... break out... I just want my chance to break out... Sometimes I wish I didn't love music so... the bloody passion... I'm either thinking about things I'm gonna do with my mass, or new guitar rifts popping into my head... having to run to the piano or guitar every few minutes to play out something that pops into my head... it's madness... every time I see a band (like Adelphi who is on the background music of the journal right now) who I've watched since before they get really popular or get signed to a major label, it boosts my hopes... I have a special feeling towards people... just ordinary people doing what they love to do - play/sing music... and have the opportunity to share their music with the world... to share their passion... the bloody passion... every time a musician comes out with a new album that just overflows with progression... it shows how much they've matured since their last album... Sometimes I smile, sometimes I cry... it's a overwhelming feeling of pride... and continues to beckon me to advance as well... I need to advance while I can... like the saying goes - A artist has a lifetime to make their first album, but only a little while to make the next... it's never too early, I suppose, to be musically mature... but only when the passion I have for music shows throughout my music will I consider myself a accomplished composer...
The bloody passion...
::Daily Lyrics:: - Did you notice I was afraid?/ I thought I'd run out of things to say/ Two more hours until today burns this away/ And it starts all over again/ The sky will never look the same again/ Till you show me how it could be/ The sky will never look the same again/ Till you show me how it could be ~ "The Story So Far" - NFG
