Freaks and Geeks

Just finished the season tonight. Amazing. TV on DVD is the way to do it.

Nothing Is Bright (Anymore)

Just wait
It is just another minute away
But it can't just go on
Anymore

This red light is the only thing to see
Turn now, away from time
Still in the silence
Wrestles the peace
Just wait
It's your turn to go

Forward through the haze
Can't see anything
Or anyone
Anymore

Faster is the heart that beats
Slower is nowhere near
Come once and for all
Come
But don't turn back

Hammer through the left
Just one more breath
Then it fades away
Slowly

Just tell me one thing
Why did you do it?

New Track.

Hello to everyone that views this blog whomever you may be. I just recorded a song today and posted it up on the one and only MySpace. I used LogicPro and my MacBook and hit record a couple of times. The quality isn't the greatest, but it is too much fun to pass up. The link is found to the right of my blog. Enjoy?

Dear Spokane,

Thank you for being a city. A city that lets me grow. Hopefully I will see you soon.

No Thank You

This evening I received a message on the good old myspace asking if I was available to play a show at Cervantes Ballroom the 29th of May. They said that my sound would be a good fit for the evening. My first question was, "What sound?" I don't think I have a sound quite yet and the songs that are up on myspace are very random as it is. The next question was, "Who else will be playing at this venue?" After a little bit of research, I discovered that other people that are playing is a lot of Hip-Hop Eminem style of music with lyrics that are rather terrible. I chuckled on the inside then wrote a short email making sure that my research is correct, which I thought was a nice way to say no to the show. Maybe I should say yes and bust a rhyme? I think I'll save my breath. I'll leave you with this: Music is like candy. Throw out the rappers.

Interesting what events lead up to doors opening for the future. I am headed to Whitworth University in Spokane, WA to hang out with my good friend David Whitehead and also to look into the music department there. So there is one door that opened. I just finished and sent in an application for the band Showbread. They are in need of a synth player, so I thought I'd let them know that I am interested. Door number two. Summer is here which will involve work and lots of music playing/creating/recording. Door number three. Time will tell what happens next.

Two minutes. Please?

Isn't it funny how hard you work for something for hours upon end and when it is time to perform it, they don't even have two minutes to spare? I had my final for voice and piano today, also known as juries. I sang selections from The Marriage of Figaro, South Pacific and also Les Misérables. It went fairly smooth and was really excited to sing 'Bring Him Home' from Les Mis. It was going great. Next up was the piano. I started off playing a Bouree by Handel and a Sonatina by Diabelli, which turned out to be alright, even memorized. Next in line was 'Clair de Lune' by Debussy and I was even a little more excited for his piece than 'Bring Him Home'. I was ready to go, but then they said that I would only have to play the first two pages. It didn't feel too terrible until I was away from the Steinway and outside walking back to my dorm. My favorite section is the third and fourth page when it is D-flat Major with a lot of rolling arpeggios and switches to C-sharp minor with a continuous reverie of melody and harmony. It was the most difficult section in the entire piece. I started this piece back in the first week of January and worked incredibly hard to play the third and fourth page. Incredibly hard meaning well over 80 hours on just those pages alone. As I was walking back to my dorm, I was rather irritated and rather pissed off that I wasn't able to perform what I have worked so hard on. Now I have to study for some other finals and write a paper involving something I don't care about, but it will be rather difficult with Clair de Lune on my mind. Wow, I can't wait for summer. Only a few more days.
