Above Water: What to do about loneliness →
mollysmuse:
What to do about loneliness: Hide it Cover it up Rub it in until it fades And becomes apart of you Wrap it up and hand it off And see if they send a thank you Open it up and draw it close Carry it in your pocket Place it on your head like a crown On your door like a wreath And see who draws near…

“When I was in college, a lot of students would give up on things before they...”

Above Water: When The City Doesn't Sleep →
It’s incredible how this so perfectly sums up my nightly thoughts… and a little unsettling… it’s odd seeing it in writing.
mollysmuse:
An oldie but goodie, one of those story-of-my-life types. As you can see, I was definitely in a rap-scat mood after watching you-know-what. Enjoy, friends.

THE KING IS DEAD by The Decemberists
GENRE: Rock
DATE OF RELEASE: January 2011
To be honest, I don’t have TOO much past experience with The Decemberists. I’ve heard a couple songs by them here and there, and I have always liked their sound. But this was my first album with them. After hearing this one (released earlier this year), I may be inclined to buy more. I just thought this disclaimer was necessary, since I...

Got Originality?
As a singer/songwriter, I find myself perpetually frustrated by the songwriting process… to the extent that I wonder if I can truly call myself a singer/songwriter. Maybe I’m more of a singer who has happened to write a couple of songs. That seems more appropriate.
In a world where music has been around for thousands of years, originality is drying up. There’s only so many...

1. On sex before marriage: “I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them.I think you should just wait for the person you’re…in love with.”

METAL & WOOD by Tyrone Wells
GENRE: Pop Rock
DATE OF RELEASE: March 2010
His 2010 album reasserts that Tyrone Wells is still a very talented musician writing easy-to-listen-to music. As with all of his previous albums, this album marks a slightly different type of style in songwriting for Wells. But in a way, it’s almost a step backwards. A lot of the songs on this album are very reminiscent of his earlier album...

THE LIMBIC SYSTEM by Tim Reynolds
GENRE: Folk
DATE OF RELEASE: August 2010
Anyone who knows of Tim Reynolds knows what a phenomenal musician he is. Virtuoso and master of several instruments, he is probably one of the most talented (and most underrated) musicians alive today. Probably known best for his work with Dave Matthews and the Dave Matthews Band, he also is the head of the TR3, and does many side projects of his own....

THE WILD TRAPEZE by Brandon Boyd
GENRE: Alternative Rock
DATE OF RELEASE: July 2010
I just recently listened to the album The Wild Trapeze by Brandon Boyd, lead singer for the alternative rock band Incubus. It’s Boyd’s first solo album, and it debuted last July.
Apparently, it is somewhat of a collection of songs that Boyd’s been compiling over his almost 20 years with Incubus. But to be honest, in my...

The Unplanned, Unexpected, Slightly Dangerous......
I often feel like so much of my life is planned out very far in advance. I’m a busy guy, and as such, free time is a little scarce. This makes doing things I enjoy, or even doing homework, difficult to do sometimes. I’m a planner. It’s kinda just in me.
But lately, I’ve taken to living a little more freely, spontaneously, might i even say… frivolously. It has...

This Be The Verse, by Philip Larkin
There is a poem by Philip Larkin, a favorite of my Advanced Production professor’s. He’s shared it with my class more than once, from memory; it has affected him that much.
Upon first hearing, I found it biting, cynical, yet penetratingly clever. I wasn’t sure at first why it so enticed my professor to lead him to the point of memorizing it in full. But now, I’m...

To Blog, or Not To Blog
Ok, everyone… So, against my better judgment, I’ve decided to start a blog. I say that it’s against my better judgment because I feel like I have enough problems with compulsive procrastination that I wonder if providing yet another distraction in my life is truly wise. But… I’M TRYING IT ANYWAY! I’ve never blogged before (other than back in high school...
