I'm sure I've talked about how important I think feedback is before, but here I go again, bear with me. I've had a pretty difficult time finding people I trust to read everything I've written and offer me some constructive criticism. On one hand, I totally understand that people have lives of their own that… Continue reading Throw it in Reverse
Write Tunes – Thread
This week's New Tunes Tuesday was almost too good. Made it really hard to just pick one song. But I went with "Thread" for its lyrics. They really just resonated with me. There's not a lot of imagery, but there's a lot of emotion just in the words that really moved me. Anyway, I hope… Continue reading Write Tunes – Thread
In Time, Again
Slave to the silhouettes of better men. Though they see me as I am, I falter in the doublethink that heralds in another day of opaque obstinance. I lie awake in regret of how I ended up, where we've been, yet all the more curious of that radiance behind the outline. Hatred borne of fear… Continue reading In Time, Again
Mirror
I see a room full of bodies with mirror faces. It's easy to say that I see myself in you and you, but if my face were a mirror too, what would we see? Two personalities rebounding? Or just one from the beginning? From the start, we were the same. Yet in that infinite reflection,… Continue reading Mirror
Write Tunes – Grammatology
Yeah, I know I forgot to post Monday. I suck. In my defense, I was really busy and didn't even have time to think about what to write. I'm still really busy today but I didn't forget this time! So here's a quick one. This song has some fantastic lyrics. Like gives-me-goosebumps lyrics. But it… Continue reading Write Tunes – Grammatology
Inaction
Doublethink. Not a hypocrite, just unaware of the contradiction. And in that moment when the two ideas collide, you make a significant choice. Neutrality will always be mistaken for complacency.
Write Tunes – Rosé & Veuve
Happy 4th! Seems kind of bittersweet to celebrate our independence in the midst of the hundreds of questionable decisions made by our current administration. But it's nice to be able to say we still have several freedoms. It feels good to say that. So here's a song that makes me feel really good. Hope you… Continue reading Write Tunes – Rosé & Veuve
Lightbulb
I think I'm going to refrain from progress updates until I get closer to the end. There's just something about setting unrealistic goals publicly on a frequent basis that just bums me out. It bums me out when I don't meet them. It gives me this intense feeling of apprehension. On one hand, I think… Continue reading Lightbulb
Cultivate
What's it take to be the farmer not the man on the farm? If Karma's a bitch then what are we? The way out is damaging. The distillation of what we call progress. Subtle changes in form yet still the same. Who am I to say what it means to be free?
Toeing the Line
I constantly struggle with how obvious a symbol should or shouldn't be. And most recently, I've been paralyzed with indecision. There's a very blurred line between a totally missing the message and so obvious that it can come off as offensive. Admittedly my reservations of tackling a turbulent topic are probably a contributing force in… Continue reading Toeing the Line
