SXSW

We played tonight at SXSW and just got back home. It was incredible to have played somewhere new and to still have been received so well. What a great city for music. I love playing for fresh ears and doing what I can to make my music an experience for them. It is the most honest I can ever be.

I did enjoy some nice conversation with my car buddy, Anna. She is a great friend to have. I am lucky to have gotten to share 4+ hours with her learning about her and sharing about me.

It was just an excellent day.

I'm off to Florida tomorrow. Wish us luck and pray for our journey.

God Bless.

we are all in love

New song. I am happy to say it is exactly how I want it to be.

I was looking for something, someone to call my beautiful. Someone who needed me like I needed them and who could pick me up when I’m down. Maybe I am a nothing. I could never be your beautiful, but you needed me like a cheap cigarette. Now you’ve used me up and I’m gone.

I guess that’s fine. I’m marked yours ‘til the end of time. You dragged me to your lips, now the ashes fill my mouth.

What I’m saying is, you know we’re all in love. Hear me say it now, because we’re all in love.

Then I looked up for someone, someone to call my beautiful. When I looked around, well, the answer I found was more hopeless than it seemed. Maybe I possess nothing that could ever change how this unfolds. I’ll forgive my lies when I say that you’ve tried every possibility.

I guess that’s fine. I have no regrets left to find. I chased what I had loved ‘til my love had escaped me.

We're all in love.

Something beautiful is all we seek. Something or someone to make our loving feel complete. I searched the earth and all I found were selfish girls and stupid boys all making selfish plans and shouting stupid words. Let's work for something beautiful beneath the sky. Let's work for someone greater, something higher, someone brighter, or someone worth the fight.

We're all in love.

The EP we are working on has a concept. It is my story. It is the story of my relationship from start to end. It is about how I loved, how I tried, and how I lost it at the end. It is entitled "The Resolution." How fitting... This is the last song of my story. I do not know what love the future holds for me. What I do know is this...

Then, I loved when I could, as hard as I could. Now, I love when I can, as hard as I can. The rest is up to God. I realized that last night. I can finally say my story has some kind of end for me that I am okay with.

Pray for me. I'll be at SXSW tomorrow playing my heart out. You can count on that.

Peace & Love

5 months

I still miss her. It has been saddening the past few days. I have done my best to put some time and clarity into the way I feel and the way I have felt. I stand here today knowing without a shadow of a doubt that I loved her. The depressing part is that I think I still do. I do not know what the consequences of that are, but I know I hope she is happy. I wish I had her around still, but I know I can't. Bummer day.

Thanks Jeff, by the way, for my reliving of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. You are some friend!

God Bless.
