Oh, music...

I love band. I love to play my instruments, to make music with a group of good friends. I love to listen to it, too... I love to close my eyes and breathe in the music, to make it flow in my bloodstream... I understand the glory of guitar... I'm bound by only four strings to this world (hey, I'd say six, but I'm a bass player, and I like classic things... don't need no fancy 5-string...)

For today, the song "Acrobat" by U2.

Don't believe what you hearDon't believe what you seeIf you just close your eyesYou can feel the enemyWhen I first met you girlYou had fire in your soulWhat happened your face of melting in snow?Now it looks like thisAnd you can swallowOr you can spitYou can throw it upOr choke on itAnd you can dreamSo dream out loudYou know that your time is coming 'roundSo don't let the bastards grind you downNo, nothing makes senseNothing seems to fitI know you'd hit outIf you only knew who to hitAnd I'd join the movementIf there was one I could believe inYeah I'd break bread and wineIf there was a church I could receive in'Cause I need it nowTo take the cupTo fill it upTo drink it slowI can't let you goI must be an acrobatTo talk like thisAnd act like thatAnd you can dreamSo dream out loudAnd don't let the bastards grind you downOh, it hurts babyWhat are we going to do? Now it's all been saidNo new ideas in the house and every book has been readAnd I must be an acrobatTo talk like thisAnd act like thatAnd you can dreamSo dream out loudAnd you can findYour own way outAnd you can buildAnd I can willAnd you can callI can't wait untilYou can stashAnd you can seizeResponsibilitiesAnd I can loveAnd I can loveAnd I know that the tide is turning 'roundSo don't let the bastards grind you down

A New Approach

Allright. I'm on Myspace and will soon be on Elftown, so here I'm just going to write whatever comes in my head.

Guh, slow computer. Death.
Sebby, sebby, sebby, sebby, sebbity, sebbity-HAR.
America doesn't have a princess; Ciara is a whore. And she can't sing. And she has webbed fingers.
Garg, I love music.

why does my heart cry/feelings i can't hide/you're free to leave me but just don't decieve me/and please believe me when i say i love you...
brrrrrrrrrricki!
sting like a scorpion/buzz like a bee
WHY is EVERYONE horny all the time?
EEEEDDDDGGGGAAAARRRR AAAALLLLLLLLEEEENNNN PPPPOOOOEEEE!!!!
nobody gets out alive
I got a little tired of never being calledYeah I got a little sick of always being stalledAnd that is why I said that "we should just be friends.Go on, baby, get on home; this is where it ends".
And to tell you the truth, I got tired of the lies,And never knowing what to do to get us to surviveThanks for finally getting me to open up my eyesI don't think you're worth it and that's really no surprise.
You said I broke your heart, and maybe that was trueHow come, though, you never ever told me, "I love you"? It was shit like that which made me call and tell you we were throughSeems to me that was the practical thing to do
And to tell you the truth, I got tired of the lies,And never knowing what to do to get us to surviveThanks for finally getting me to open up my eyesI don't think you're worth it and that's really no surprise.
Now a year has gone and you've written me to sayThat you miss me? need me? kiss me? thought of me todayYou've met my new boyfriend, now you realise it's trueThat I never ever would have run away with you
And to tell you the truth, it's really no surpriseThere never really was a way to get us to surviveNow today I'm really glad I opened up my eyesI couldn't make you worth it and that's really no surprise.

Going now, hope that was interesting.

"Tears stream down your face..."

Listened to Coldplay this morning (three songs, "Fix You", "Swallowed in the Sea", and "Kingdom Come"), then Barenaked Ladies "Gordon" in the shower, then Aerosmith was my cleaning music.

Nothing has happened recently that hasn't been posted elsewhere... gourds, I'm tired... and confused... and I miss people... and I love people... and if it wasn't for him I'd probably be quite content to just fall peacefully asleep and wake up in a parallel dimension.

Love is the strangest thing...

*insert title here* Now what would make you think that? Because when I look at him, when I emotionally remove myself and I look at him, I can see why people are surprised I'm dating him. But when I think about him, consider his quirks and his charms, his moods and his comments, I really do like him. I like him so much I could just fall over dead and die happy.

Craziness. But I like it.

Nitty-Gritty (new song)

Baby I love how you make me feel
Baby I love how you've helped me heal
When you're around I feel so surreal
Baby I love all your sex appeal

Let's ride on a camel into the city
You're the only one that makes me feel pretty
That's why I wrote you this little ditty
So let's get down to the nitty-gritty

Baby I love how you're into me
Baby I love how you go crazy
When your around I'm not so lazy
Baby I love all the you I see

Let's ride on a camel into the city
You're the only one that makes me feel pretty
That's why it's only you that makes me this giddy
Come on, let's get down to the nitty-gritty

Baby I love, oh, the taste of you
Baby I love all the things you do
When you're around I'm always askew
Baby all I need a little of you

And I'm riding on a camel into the city
With you cos you always make me feel pretty
That's why I wrote you this little ditty
So we could get down to the nitty-gritty

English Gardens

I'm sitting in my basement. I'd rather be sitting in an English garden, like in 'I Am the Walrus' by the Beatles, but here I am, stuck in the basement. Dad turned the lights off and closed the door, so I'm rather trapped down here. Erlack.

"They can't ever save us now. "

Poor innocent Andy, corrupted by my tastes in music. Kill Hannah and Operation Ivy. He had pretty good taste on his own, I must say, Aerosmith and All-American Rejects, etc. And Eminem, though whether that is good taste or simply an odd thing I like has yet to be determined.

"Singing 'Hare Krishna!' man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe"

New bass tabs:
Castaway - Green Day
Question! - System of a Down
Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
Have A Cigar - Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

If you like good music - prog rock - and don't listen to Pink Floyd, you're silly. "Momentary Lapse of Reason" is an AWESOME album. Effing A.
