Firefly Begins
Firefly has begun. It will be completed on the 30th of this month. Its simple. Piano and Cello. Here is a video of Joe playing part of it on piano and the words are below. This week has been amazing. Productive, accomplished and amazing. I have not felt this good in months. Today we took it real easy and went shopping at Savers and some christian book store for jewelry. Had lunch in Warwick. Now time for some friends and cocktails.
firefly you changed my life
changed my mind and took my time
burning from the flame of you
once your name, now a scarring tattoo
firefly i caught your lie
said goodbye and told my side
you once had my sympathy
you’ll never live the of me
no spark, no light
wherever you sleep tonight
remember what you had to hold
as you shiver in the cold
ill let you die, burning out summer skies
goodbye.. goodbye.. my firefly
firefly my midnight thief
stole my sight with sweet relief
I’m learning to love this pain
you’ll love was only Novocaine
firefly i called your bluff
ill never truly be enough
fly with your bright light blind
you never see how much i shine
no spark, no light
wherever you sleep tonight
remember what you had to hold
as you shiver in the cold
ill let you die, burning out summer skies
goodbye.. goodbye.. my firefly
ill let you die
May Your Avarice Be Your Gallows
This was a really nice weekend. There are so many photos and videos from the last few weeks and i need to put online but I have not had the time. I have pix from London, Steve & Jeff’s, Scott’s and Roger Williams Park that i need to get online. About 1 months worth. The best is titled ‘Jason After A 70 Hour Work Week’. He was wrecked. They will come soon.
I am really excited about this week. I start my new recording and it feels good. Always helps me get through my feelings when i stick myself behind a roadblock.
Aside from cleaning and preparing the house for the cold weather I got to spend time with some of the people that i love the most. I also got to reconnect with an old friend who I do not get to talk to much, but when we have our phone calls it is a riot and brings back the good old childhood memories.
I want to thank somebody without mentioning a name. Its been over 10 years since we have met and you have always been supportive and your words are so kind and inspiring. Our communication has been through email only for many years now but every time you find me you bring a smile to my face. My music is my dream and your words and support are part of the reason why I write and you are one of the people who turned me on to listening to new music back when i was about 17 i believe. Thank you very much, It will not be forgotten.
I am going to end this blog posting with something so funny. My friends know that i have a twisted sense of humor and that I love idiotic things like this. The woman had to be psychopathic or something but I guess after years of telemarketers calling her, she probably lost a few screws from her head. Very funny! Enjoy and HAPPY MONDAY!
Woah!!!!! Amazing!
Yesterday afternoon after i completed an amazing business transaction with my lawyer, I was in my kitchen singing and dancing around to the radio (which I only listen to when i am cooking). I was preparing my amazing vegan potato salad and along came something I had never heard before. I sat and listened and when i got 1 minute in, i found myself crying my eyes out. It made me so happy. It inspired me, it made me wish that i had written it. It describes EVERYTHING in my life right now and makes me realize that there is light at the end of the tunnel even when your not able to see it right now. It has not been released yet but i found a video ‘in the making’. Many people diss her, but her voice is unreal, even if she does not do all of the writing herself. Make sure you LISTEN to what is being said. Amazingness!
Don’t know much about your life.
Don’t know much about your world, but
Don’t want to be alone tonight,
On this planet they call earth.
You don’t know about my past, and
I don’t have a future figured out.
And maybe this is going too fast.
And maybe it’s not meant to last,
But what do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there’s solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?
I just want to start again,
And maybe you could show me how to try,
And maybe you could take me in,
Somewhere underneath your skin?
What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there’s solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?
And I had my heart beaten down,
But I always come back for more, yeah.
There’s nothing like love to pull you up,
When you’re laying down on the floor there.
So talk to me, talk to me,
Like lovers do.
Yeah walk with me, walk with me,
Like lovers do,
Like lovers do.
What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there’s solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?
Don’t know much about your life
And I don’t know much about your world.
A New Day Today
It has been a crazy past few weeks. Today i get to go take care of some business that has been ongoing since the beginning of the year. Finally it is going to come to an end and i am so relieved. It feels like a million pounds is about to be lifted off of me today at 2:30. FINALLY
So much is going on in the lives of a few people that I love some most. Some good, some bad. When you love somebody you are there for them and i intend to be there when I am needed. As for the few awesome people that i have met recently, thank you so much for your company and your amazingness. And thank you to my beautiful friends from Australia who i have been waiting almost 10 years to meet and it finally happened. I will never forget it!
Yesterday I got to get together at the most beautiful place and it was needed. I feel better and accomplished that I got to say the words that i needed to say and hear the words that i needed to hear. Love does not disappear, it just changes as it is meant to change and I love that about the world.
The cold weather is finally coming in and it is relaxing and motivating. It makes me want to work and get things done, more work, more money, more working out and more time to think.. yes that dangerous word, think. haha. The next time i visit the most beautiful place i will be sure to wear a sweater. I’m actually cold right now AND running late for my business meeting so until next time, enjoy the fall everybody!
