intro...

loop > drum beat > ...

baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man
baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man

[verse #1]
i sat upon the edge. when i knew you were gone. i knew you were gone. you were gone so long. -
i was miserable. i was miserable. i saw you were gone. i knew you were gone. -
i knew you were gone and i... i knew you were gone... you were gone. -
gone. i missed you cause you were my apple. you were my sweetie pie. and i didnt have you anymore. -
you were gone. oh baby you were gone. and ive gotta say i was sad to see you go. -

baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man
baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man

[verse #2]
in the summertime when the weather was fine. thats when someone crossed the line and broke my heart. i was standing on the sidelines and falling apart. -
when my girl was taken from me. i was sad as pain as can be. but she knew in her heart that she still loved.
so much pain, so much pain. so much pain. so much pain. oh its hard to explain. words are in vain. -
and i lost my baby. when the weather was fine. i knew that i was alive. but what a painful time. -

baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man
baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man

[guitar solo]

baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man
baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man
baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man
baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man
baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man
baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man
baby girl / you were taken from me. / i was miserable / i was a broken man

this is my second idea

i don't wanna run
no i don't wanna run anymore
i don't wanna run
no i don't wanna run anymore
i don't wanna run
no i don't wanna run anymore
i don't wanna run
no i don't wanna run anymore.

verse #1
its been so long since ive felt like i could just be myself. everyday is a battle and im ready for the fight. -
people like ot pick on me. tel me what to do. but they dont know who i am. and im a chilled out guy. and im ready to stand up for who i am. -
i never let people push me around. and even if they do its never to the ground. and even if it is i still get up again. i dont get a scratch and if i do i still... -
get up and fight. cause thats whats right. thats what i do. -

i don't wanna run
no id on't wanna run anymore.
i don't wanna run
no i don't wanna run anymore.
i don't wanna run
no i don't wanna run anymore
i don't wanna run
no i don't wanna run anymore

verse #2
i was born to be a fighter. i was a survivor. i lived through so much shit. people dont give a shit about it -
but im tough as nails, in my soul, even though my body's flesh and bone. the body is somethin i own. -
im not gonna let people push me around, even if they do im not gonna let them change my ways -
and even if i do i wont let myself die in vain. and even if i do my spirit will never change -

ive seen so many people roll over and give up. im not gonna be one of them. im not gonna let them fuck me up. -
and even if htey do they wont change me in my head. i will always be the same guy lying in bed. thinkin bout the world instead -

i dont wanna run no i dont wanna run anymore
i dont wanna run no i dont wanna run anymore
i dont wanna run no i dont wanna run anymore
i dont wanna run no i dont wanna run anymore

verse#3
people assume so many things about a guy whose quiet in the way he sings, the way he talks and the shit he brings. thats the way it goes. thats the way i tgoes -
im just used to the world and who knows where ill be in 20 years or so. all i know is what i know, and where i go is just where i go. -
i just hope im not the result of peoples bullshit. i wanna be fit. i wanna be tough. fit for it. fit for life. thats right. -
i wanna have a good time, a good life. i wanna do it right. i wanna do it right. i wanna do it right. -

i dont wanna run no i dont wanna run anymore.
i dont wanna run no i dont wanna run anymore
i dont wanna run no i dont wanna run anymore
i dont wanna run no i dont wanna run anymore.

Loops while in Dayton

So I just made a Strokes sounding song with the Julian Casablancas vocals about Anita called Baby Girl about the summer with Rijos and the breakup. Definately a dark difficult time and something I could easily sing a lament to. I'm uploading the recording of me jamming out to it to Soundcloud right now.

stuff i did on the pedals [fuckin round]

u2 - sunday bloody sunday
weezer - say it aint so
me - comin over
me - you're in my head

sami+me+molly/bc/sammy+me+molly

please could you stay awhile to share my grief
its such a lovely day to have to always feel this way
and the time that i will suffer less, is when i never have to wake

wandering stars for whom it is reserved, the blackness of darkness forever
wandering stars for whom it is reserved, the blackness of darkness forever

those who have seen the needles now tread
like a husk from which all that was now has fled
and the masks that the monsters wear, to feed upon their prey

wandering stars for whom it is reserved, the blackness of darkness forever
wandering stars for whom it is reserved, the blackness of darkness forever

-bc-

always doubled up inside, take awhile to shed my grief
always doubled up inside, taunted- cruel-

wandering stars for whom it is reserved, the blackness of darkness forever
wandering stars for whom it is reserved, the blackness of darkness forever

molly

molly/bc/sami+molly/

hook: caught up in the crazy mad, shot up by the crazy sad, rolling like boulders, falling like soldiers.

show #2 concept #4

insanity is a figment of the mind
don't be unkind - don't let a soul get left behind

death is an inevitability / life is fragility /
walk these roads with trepidation and dignity

Quite good, youre kinda focused on the camera though. I'm not feeling a deep passion for the song, like youre repeating it but not singing it. Try closing your eyes and tapping your feet. Youre at a threshold as an artist where you have to abandon any kind of stage fright if you want to hit it big. Lose yourself, make funny faces while you sing if you have to, better a great song that makes your faced screwed up than a straight face and a flat song.

Pretty good tho. Nice shirt too.

Show #2 Concept #3

soemthing about toxic and abusive relationships [talking about mine with gf, father, mother, sister, best-friend's in the past, kids in elementry who'd name-call me but try to convince me they were my friends.]

people bother me still
doesnt matter how much skill ive accrued
i tried to be strong
but they tear me down again and again
i wanna be invincible
but im always so brittle
this is a war song
this is a battle call
this is a call to arms
this is my war song

walk into battle ready to fight
i walk into battle ready to die
the people in this room dont know who the fuck i am
im gonna continue to be me as much as i can

step off motherfucker
gimme some space i can't breath
back the fuck off motherfucker
you need to step off so i can breath

people are stupid sometimes
they love to play games
i try to be strong
but things are never the same
i try to be cool
i try to be fine
it doesnt always work
not every single time

i try to be great
i try to be cool
but they take shots at me
sometimes they make me a fool

step off motherfucker
gimme some room to breath
step off motherfucker
i need some fuckin room to breath
step off motherfucker
i need some room to breath
step off motherfucker
i need some room to breath

im tired of all the bullshit i face on a day to day basis
people always wanna remind me of my place in this state
i get tired of all the bullshit that i face day to day
i just wanna go outside and enjoy my fate

everyones gona die some day
everyones gona die some day
everyones gona die some day
everyones gonna die someday

im tired of all the bullshit in the world
doesnt even matter if youre a boy or a girl
tired of all the bullshit in the world

people try to mess with me all the time
people act like its not a fuckinc rime
im tired of all the bullshit
im tired of people throwin fits
its never cool for people to act like this
im just longing for some internal bliss
i wanna be free of all the bullshit
i wanna be way better than this

im a warrior
im superior
noones inferior

show #2 concept #2

do soemthing w/ the laptop, looping songs together + making a neat thing... sample perhaps? school myself on the use of the shit to make it work better... we'll see how it goes.

show #2 stuff

so currently we've got:
- either a 45 or 60 min set
- two confirmed guests [danny & molly]
- three weeks to get our shit together

Recap of show #1

so, the show went alright. i got the recordings off the pc that basiclaly the soundguy graciously did for us. they kinda sucked. lots of bc and sami, very little me. they came through strong, i didnt. so ivory's given us a second shot on lke... the 23rd of december. we can ami for that and do waht we can to make it work. loop pedals seemed to work alright but sami was askin for louder shit. keyboard was unnecessary, as was bass. guitar was the only thing i needed, so i could've had a clearer stage. bc had a spat about the song list, throwing it in my face. kinda stupid. i made it work, but there was drama afoot. the audience was also heckling a bit. kinda shit. sami was singing her song homeless. anita had alot of criticism. i felt great getting off stage. and everyone involved felt great participating. it'll take awhile to ignore any drama and see the real gems that were there. demotivational people can sometimes mire the good with the thick drip of dramatics. a good leader stears clear of the muck and stays true to the course and hits the mark. we'll see how we can improve next time over this performance.

show #2 concept #1

is there ever an exception to the rule?
just be you, be you, be you.
there's never an exception to the rule.
always be you, be you, be you.
