about

Its easy.. everyone does it. You just do things. Things that get you excited.. And hey, maybe its bad.. maybe you make bad art. Im guilty of making and liking pretty bad art. "Jesus Christ Superstar" still gives me some goosebumps, yeah haha, an im not really religious, just came up that way. I just ran into something weirdly moving along the way. It is what it is. I don't mind. There's an oversaturation of info coming at ya everyday, and as all of it gets so advanced and complex, we pause at videos of Foam being shaved with a knife, or paper being shaved with a cheese grater, ha. All the popular shit just gets flipped on its head after awhile.. And the lens once again focuses on the fringe singularities of creativity.
Yep, What you're looking for might very well be in your hands already.
So.. this is the unwarranted-selfhelp-emo-rockopera that really.... i just felt like making... and im moved by it. ( oooh theres a definite chance i just rewrote an existing song... idk).. Challenge yourself and your art by floating it in the public domain, It can inform you, aswell as help you grow. -But don't let the world around you clip your creative wings.
"Its not the water around the bout that sinks it, but the water that creeps inside."
Ive been lucky to have beared witness to many inspiring creative acts, many non musical, in my 36 years. And my own sense of wonder has proven "their" value to me in my life.
As my good buddy "Cole Bridges" has sung, " And i wanted (to see), you there, in that unflattering light..."(Listen back to some "The Fights" maybe??) -the "unflattering light" is a valuable light to be seen in. Don't let your mind, or perceived optics, talk you out of what your heart has worked so hard for.
Stay there. I'll stay there with you.
Stay True.

lyrics

Go. As you came.
And Not, as they made you to think.
The streams, i see on your cheek,
let them fall, and burn, the sweet release..

Stay, Stay here with me,
Dont let your mind,
Undo what your heart, fought so hard to be.
Stay, Know they cant take, all that your heart,
fought so hard to make.

Your arms, they dangle outstreched.
Such crooked limbs, they rake at the sky,
like such a wretch..
But i, i see the glow.
Such a Spark.
Spun to WILDFIRE!,
When you dare to try.

Stay, stay here with me,
Dont let your mind,
Undo what your heart, fought so hard to be.
Stay, Know they cant take,
Just let em try, to touch what your heart,
fought so hard to make.

Stay, Stay here with me,
Dont let your mind,
undo what your heart, fought so hard to be.
Stay, Know they can't take,
just let em try, to touch what your heart,
Fought so hard to make,
so hard to make...
