I don’t know if I will ever write the stage and say
hey I forgot to shine
could you let me try here?
mostly I don’t want to think about I anymore
sail with me
whoa hey, ok.
you drop down upon me
and let it go
in terms of spatial awareness
that is all
I fantastically arranged you here
right there
on the tip of my tongue
more than words
more than hearing
and we were lost in the desert
yes
with west in the chest
and a blessed
crunch underneath each step
four six at a time
lost in it
this rhythm
a cycle upon a cycle an end a beginning a climax a relentless turn
each song
a life
each life
a death
this morning
never woke
last night
oh to push through the ceiling and reclaim the where we are
sometimes these are a way of me correcting trends
like, i always want to make art
but i don’t
and feel like i can’t
and also who cares what i call art in my own head
you know, i just want to be able to make things that make me feel like that i’m not just laying on the floor staring at the ceiling
and go and go and go and be
with me too
you are welcome
here
oh and always
and tonight
too
beautiful light
five alive
that i love you
so much
we are getting there
was
we going to make it
we going to make it all the way
suddenly it seems
you and me are
in need
and you are
never gone
and back to the
past
fogged over
whisping around
and
there is love there
in the wash
First off, I’m thrilled to let you know that I’m opening for AFI on January 28th in Santa Cruz… why thrilled you asked? as opposed to excited? Well, I’ve passed through the excited threshold and into the realm of thrilled because AFI is a band I’ve admired for a long long time, and who, in their music and their unrelenting devotion to creating their own sound, their own way, have become one of my favorite bands ever. So basically I’m opening for some musical idols. Pretty cool.
Next off, life has been changing in big and little ways, mostly big… I now live in Los Angeles… still settling in but indeed, it is done. We’re perched on a little hill and I’m really excited to see how the music fares down here.
Last off, for now, I have a lot to say for and about Nevada City. Though I feel very happy to move forward etc., I feel I owe a great debt to all the amazing musicians and friends I made there, and have a good long rant to write about all that. Will miss the good things there… very much!
Onward!
Oh I apologize for the disconnect… I’m out and about, making a move to a different spot on earth and, not surprisingly, being in transition makes everything else go “pause”.
It’s exciting… so much going on. I’m looking forward to playing great shows, meeting amazing people, and generally making music more often.
I also have a lot to say about the greatness of Nevada City. So I’ll be posting soon. Wish me luck!
