I Don’t Feel Alone

I have found that I have a heavy opinion about some things.  I wonder if many people feel the same as I do when I think about artists and musicians that sing about their depression or loneliness.  Its pretty ironic that my current place in life often finds me feeling cynical about cynicism and blatant declarations of depression in art or music.  I think something like, “They are just faking a sad life so they seem more like Kurt Cobain or Elliot Smith”.  I kind of wanted to throw up when that band named Disturbed came out.  ”You aren’t actually disturbed or depressed you just think that depression and rock music have to be a symbiotic relationship”, I have said this too myself for years now.  What is crazy to me is that in thinking this way for years now I’m pretty sure that I have brought about in myself a deep jaded and cynical spirit.  Its not good to be cynical or overly sarcastic just to veil the truth of things.  And… If I honestly reflect on the world and especially those who write music or make art many of these people are depressed and I shouldn’t snub my nose at them for that.  I want good things to happen to people.  I want God to change peoples lives.  

It sucks when people are sad.     

Vision Glass

This sounds like a prophetic moment but I don’t really think that it is.

Old Lasagna

So… There was this time I was regularly sleeping on my brothers couch and I had no money so I mostly survived on leftovers from his fridge.  I ate some old lasagna and I kind of felt like crap later.  It was song worthy.

Layers

There are quite a few songs that I have in the archives that I am apprehensive to put up on the page here.  I definitely feel that way about this song Layers.  I do enjoy parts of the song and i hope to use something from it in the future.  It really is all over the place as far as arrangement and words are concerned.  I think I have thought something similar to that about every song that I have posted so far.  This song really takes the lead as far as unorganized ridiculousness is concerned.

Enjoy!

Fighting Song

The words here don’t really amount to meaning much of anything.  I have actually never been in a fight.  Unfortunately, I have never met anyone named Matilda.  I think I remember going through a phase of thinking it was fun to place random names of people into songs.  The Beatles have a ton of songs with names of strange people in them.

So, yeah I don’t endorse violence or anything.

Hang Around

Its about a girl blah blah blah yeah I was 18.  I do still enjoy the melody in the chorus.
