“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” -Joseph Campbell I realized today that somehow I had become numb. In the last 18 months my world has completely changed. For the better I might add. But I confused growing up with growing old. I realized that I haven’t told my wife I miss her in a while. I don’t even think when I say, I love you. I use to get tingly and moved by that emotion. From time to time I just need to remember that it’s an …

iTunes Myspace This 2008 album, The Grand Archives, is a fantastic indie gem by Grand Archives. The chicken or the egg theory applies to every music fan/musician. I love music. I love discovering it and letting it sink in. As long as bands put out work as pure and as honest as this we have nothing to fear for the future of music. As a musician it’s good to remember how to be a music fan again. This album makes me want to drive into the night and think. Which by the way is definitely one of my …

Records were escapism for me. I identified strongly with this record. The lush melodies, spaced out themes and broken lyrics always spoke to me. In my opinion one of the last great records made. It’s 4am and Miles is in and out of sleep. I can’t help but think about the music he hasn’t heard yet. I remember what it was like when I heard certain records. I wonder what he will think of this classic?

the muted lightening is distant but applauding, the conversation is polite yet half hearted, she was kind but to her I was all but forgotten, I could tell she was lost in hallways.. houses, that she kept to herself, she was more than distant, I wasn’t sure but I knew then that she needed me, she had a way of making you laugh while she cried, she held onto her pain like the night when it rains, goodbyes suited her, but she never wanted to be alone, bills accumulate on a desk neglected, she borrowed more …

a forgotten cemetery rezoned for commercial use, every heart will be forgotten or abused, I’ve got a sister who moved to California, She was looking for another view, The same reason I question myself, Are the same reasons she moved away from you,

often religious in a desperate way, you wouldn’t turn the car around, but it’s those that can stand that our found, dangerous in such a failing art, you always knew the words to make me cry, but I left you back despite my eyes, the river left me with no conclusion, sid bream is still sliding in under bonds throw, some moments have [...]

Jeff Tweedy (Bill Fay cover) I’ve tried not to be fearful the older I get. I guess it ’s emotional gravity. Fear that is.. I once locked myself in a bathroom in 4th at a school play because I was so afraid. I still remember my line, “He said he would be president.” I didn’t come out until the play was well underway, and I knew I wasn’t going to have to recite my line. Yes, my line. Not lines! I also said no and ran away from Carlos Santana when he tried to get me …

a green lamp anchors the corner of the desk, the dogs dream at my feet, As for me.. I think about the way things used to be, The records play on helplessly, I used to write poetry when I was younger, The layers & edges blurred the consequence.. Of writing down the words that fell, A couple falling in love sit behind me, She laughs but in a quiet way, She is hoping that he is what he seems, He is pretending but sincere, Love is a two way lie with one truth, I hope they find the beauty in the end, Not …
