Mum, thanks for being mine.

What can be lost

can also be found

What can be damaged

can also be restored

What can be rewound

can also be fast forwarded

What we were then

we can be now.

Lonely Lullaby- my favorite song right now

Stumbled upon this just now.

It made me happy and inspired. :)

His new album comes out May 17th. I already have a favorite from the tracks that have been released on YouTube.

Listen. It's my favorite song right now.

It's ridiculously beautiful. It really moves me.

Hooray for Owl City & hooray for artists around the world!

^^

this is where you come in

I've been writing a lot lately. Apparently I have a lot to say.

Tonight- just now- I wrote these lyrics to what could possibly be my first dance song. Weird I know. But, I suppose any song can be turned into a dance song. What, with the right remix; with the right beat. Hah, that's what everyone says about top 40 songs they like. "I don't know, I just like the beat to it."

^.^

VERSE 1

I try to find an easier way

I try to pick it up where I left

These days there's nothing but heartache

There's nothing left to protect

And I'm trying to find out where you've been

I've been walking the same old path

I'm nothing if not struggling

This is how the other half lives

CHORUS

I'm helpless

This is where you come in (repeated a bunch of times)

I have more, but not finished/good enough to publish.

More to come. I'll probably post more lyrics tomorrow. It's the weekend. I have no homework. I have lots of time. Hurrah. xD

Signing off, K

Temporary

Stay awake. Don't hesitate to open up your eyes. See the world. Know what it's like to finally realize.

You only get what you put into it and you only see what you see through. Times like this I wish I knew it and times like this I wish I knew you.

I've got time and I've got doubts. I've got room to figure it out. What is to see? What is to be? Find my own philosophy.

You only get what you put into it and you only see what you see through. Times like this I wish I knew it and times like this I wish I knew you.

We don't need to know how far it's supposed to go. We don't need to see. We can make it what we want it to be.

Life's forever changing. It's temporary, so why are we waiting?

You only get what you put into it and you only see what you see through. Times like this I wish I knew it and times like this I wish I knew you.

...

Back to basics.





Breathe in. Breathe out.

One day, one day. We'll forget this all one day. Just for now we learn to sing. We are not our sorrows. We are not our scars. We are only human. This is what we are.

Music is one thing I actually have figured out in life.

Thought I'd share some pictures of recent gigs with you from last month now- because today is May 1st.

^^ I'm definitely going for a walk or something. It's beautiful.

"And if you were just one day,

you'd be the very first of May

and I'd be sunlight in your skies."

April 9th I played for everyone involved in the TOMS One Day Without Shoes: Barefoot walk in the park. It was nice. They were nice. :)

April 21st was my performance at Off the Grid (music, art and sustainability expo). My whole school walked over to where it was being held and I was very appreciative of how supportive everyone was. Playing in front of your peers can be very nerve racking.

April 17th and 28th I performed for the Liberal Party. I don't have any pictures of the 17th, which I should have because it was much bigger, but the 28th (as seen above) was held in a super fancy hotel downtown. We were on the eighth floor and the view was incredible. From the Parliament building to the ocean- I love where I live. ^^

So, there's a bit of catching up. I have not been idle, even though it may have appeared that way.

Music is something I will always be doing. It's one thing I actually have figured out in life. For me, it is constant. It's reliable. Everyone needs something like that.

Well, it's past noon on my last day of the weekend. I have things to do, so I'll write later.

Much love & appreciation,

K
