I want to write I always have I love words They’re all I have I’ve always written Never stopped But sometimes I run from it I try to adopt A version of me That isn’t real Something that others find ideal But still, I write But still, I write But still, I write I’m going to…
Grandpa’s Ghost
Sleep Paralysis. Horrific Dream. Sleep Paralysis. Horrific Dream. Ghost. Ghost. Ghost. Wake Up. Where am I? Dead. It’s been another day where I wake up to an intense dream, more recently they’ve all been about my late grandpa and they’ve been getting more and more… well for the lack of a better word intense. This…
The Art That I Love
A lot of my life feels like it was spent trying to prove people wrong. I’ve been trying to relearn how to read sheet music, so I was looking at the cliché piano piece Für Elise and I had a quick flashback to the year I took piano lessons in elementary school. I remember my…
“It Doesn’t Matter, I Have To Kill Her Because She Looks The Part”
I have a problem with reoccurring nightmares, especially when I’m under a lot of stress. These past few weeks it’s been a similar dream, all with having to be Middle Eastern. The dream Goes Something like this. A good friend of mine and I are walking down the street and we happen upon a lady in…
Foggy Daze
It’s been a stressful and taxing few weeks. Going from having a couple of courses to more courses than I can keep track of and staying away from my own personal work has been a huge lesson in time managment. I think things would be a bit different if my travel time wasn’t so far from each…
#NewMusic – Sunflower Kiss: Improvising on the Piano
Something you may not know about me is that I love to improvise on the piano. It’s actually where a lot of my music comes from. There’s a freedom to writing without thinking a freedom to express anything I’m feeling without having to struggle to put words to it. Being able to play the piano…
#NewMusic – The Archives (Piano Instrumental Piece)
I remember when I was in school I’d always get excited to come back home because I’d be able to play on the piano and write music. I remember staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning with my guitar even if it was a school night. I loved music so much. I used…
It’s right back to school
This year a lot has changed in my life. I’ve strapped myself in and have been getting a lot more serious about my career. Last year, I took a big step by applying for some teaching jobs I didn’t think I’d get, but lo and behold I got a position in the public sector. Today…
Goodbye Hard Drive
The past few days have been stressful for me. We had contractors come in to fix our windows (which I will talk about in another post) and so I had to disassemble my office and along the way, my hard drive crashed. Its pretty insane that my hard drive crashed since the hard drive wasn’t…
#NewMusic: Wake Up – First Demo
So yesterday I said I was debating posting demos of the new songs I was working on. Have to admit I’m nervous, but here it goes! Wake Up is the first song I write with lyrics in over two years. It’s also the first song I produce vocals on, so it’s fairly raw. I’m so…
