The summer is over and i can open my windows at night when i sleep. Its pretty awesome to be able to sleep with a nice breeze coming into the house. Justin went home few days ago and Ami and I are going to clean the apartment from top to bottom sometime this week. I already started today by cleaning out my journal (its a journal i use to jot down notes for my affiliate marketing information). When I was cleaning it, i found flight numbers, hotel reservation codes and it got me to thinking of how good its going to feel when i get the tattoo removed from my back either this week or next. I cant wait, a clean start is always vindicating when you have gotten slandered and smashed to pieces.
So as i wrote in the last post about the recording session, it rocked. I have to thank my friend Shawn Collins for getting me some AWESOME exposure to the acoustic’s i did for fun. My bandwidth went through the roof because he used his powers of marketing, his blog and his newsletter to get me hooked up. The song Firefly was in my dream last night. I can hear it and I am both scared and excited for when it will be done, who knows. When i first thought about it I thought it would be such a waste of money to spend on a song that was inspired by somebody with whom i have such contempt, but its always my closure. Already I feel the closure and the song is not done so i guess it will be worth every penny i spend on it it means i will be cleansed from the stigma of the badLY ensuing waste of my valuable time, love, life and energy.
Here is the post from yesterday for those who want to listen to the music. I am going to make a music page at the top but i want to keep the link active for now until i finish the page. To check out the new recordings, click HERE . I will also post the video for one of the other songs when I have it edited tomorrow.
To close my post, i am going to post the ‘tentative’ lyrics to firefly. They may be changed up a little bit due to the fact that the song is being entirely composed in piano and we are also using a sample that will make the funk of the song a little different, but for now.. Here are the lyrics and a nice photo from last weekend. Happy end of the summer everyone!
Firefly
firefly you changed my life
changed my mind and took my time
opened me up to be hurt by you
challenged me made me bleed tattooed yourself onto me
firefly i caught your lie
said goodbye and told my side
opened me up to pity you
laughed at you which made me see, you’ll never be who i will be
Chorus
you turned out the light
i hope you sleep well at night
when you shiver in the cold
remember what you had to hold
goodbye my firefly
firefly you stole from me
faked on me and made me see
closed me up to love again
lose my friends, lose my mind but now i know I’m one of a kind
firefly i caught your bluff
i never truly was enough
let me inside of you to sex you up
roughed me up, toughened me up, now I see that you’re so weak
Chorus
you turned out the light
i hope you sleep well at night
when you shiver in the cold
remember what you had to hold
goodbye my firefly
