Here's A Thought

There was line in a movie that explained it all
I didn't write it down though


The sounds around me faded
and the noise of a distant question
became clear. It had the rhythm
of the past, but it wasn't in my past.
The lack of concentration brought back
the common noise/sound of life.
It was at that moment I knew the
question would never return.


I stopped before I needed to
Because I was scared
I would hit the point when
I was forced to stop


Ready the cat


Raincoats for everyone


Do you pay attention?
Attention to Greatness
Attention to Habits
Attention to People
Attention to Beauty


Do you have my heart? Awesome


Words of Confusion
Thoughts of Creation
Acts of Distruction


Stand for something worth standing for


Silence... And my mind quickened and my heart began to race


I wish i was a reflection... Something that is recognized
but doesn't reveal all


I was willing to change anything... As long as it didn't make me different


So much potential... But it's all confidential


"Is this the new Stereolab?"
How does a line mixed with an image mixed with a feeling all mix together so nicely?


One time i had a dream...
I was putting on a show for the most important Potatohead people....
I've never been so happy


What are you thinking?

Lost Lyrics

Someone helped me realize today that there are amazing lyrics being ignored daily. This is something that needs to stop. OK maybe not, but it is a new idea to me. How many bands do we listen to and dismiss because their instrumental choices suck or maybe someone's voice is too whiny. We never even get to the lyrics... the part of the song that may mean the most and touch the soul more than any other part of the song. So here's my solution...

1) Think of 5 bands you can't stand or just don't see what the big deal about them is. Maybe it's a band your friends rave about and you just don't see it.
2) Get online and look up the band's lyrics
3)Enjoy

Now this won't always work... some bands suck to their center, but I think there are alot of lyrics floating around that can inspire despite the fact that the guitarist doesn't know that there are other chords other than power chords.

Silence

There is a silence i love.. it has nothing to do with sound.. it's a feeling.. something inside that just causes silence... silence to worries.. silence to confusion... silence to everything except the joy in my heart...

Tripping Over Future Stars

I know SOMEDAY you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody elses sky but
Why, why, why can't it be... can't it be mine?

Words That have crossed my mind many times... at age 18 they were just cool words mumbled by Mr. Vedder inspiring me to write down thoughts and emotions... at age 22 I had my first taste of what they could possibly mean, but still didn't stop me in my tracks... at age 26 the words "why, why, why can't it be mine" haunted me... and now after 2 years of them laying dormant these words have made themselves known once again in my life. I see them from such a different place... A place where I see the word "SOMEDAY" so clearly. Why have I given myself to people who aren't "there" yet? People that I know will have a beautiful life "SOMEDAY", that will be a star "SOMEDAY"... but not today... and possibly not for a while...

Oh... your here

Music

Music.. Music... how was I so lucky? So lucky to have a love for music...something that can lift spirits so fast or bring you back down to earth. I lost happiness for a while and i've come to realize that I also lost "my" music during that time also. I don't expect those around me to like the music I like.. i just care if they cause me to lose my music.. that's no good.

The only problem with listening to a song is that I know its going to end.. enjoying a song so much and then coming to the realization its going to end in less than two minutes... to hear that silence.. no music.. nothing to keep me happy.... nothing to change my mood.. nothing to lean on.

She reads it all

I know this girl who reads. In fact, she seems to read a lot. The only problem with this is it doesn't stop at books. She reads me. Every action, thought or word she can read. I can't get a thing past her.
