Hooray!

So today (or maybe it was yesterday)...well I'm saying today because that's when I found out about it....anyway, the first person officially covered a song I wrote (co-wrote) on youtube and it's the most bizarre feeling in the world! I cannot even described how it feels to have a girl, I've never met, who lives somewhere I've never been, playing my song for an audience! I remember sitting in my house writing this song while recording it on my computer...I'm so emotionally attached to all my songs that it's bizarre to see them detached from the circumstances and thoughts that bore them....I feel flattered...but it's a confusing sort of flattery...but hopefully it's something I'll have to get used to :) ------------hopefully many more covers to come...oh and it helps that she didn't completely butcher the song as well...it was decently done (I'll always prefer my own version though)...It's weird ( I guess I'm going to chat about being a songwriter in general now...lol) but once I write and record a song and listen back to it, it's hard to believe it's me singing and/or playing it at all. I just get used to the way it sounds and then it's as if my performing side is a separate entity to the 'self' I consider to be me, for all intents and purposes... So when I say I prefer my own version, it's not because I have an unhealthy obsession with myself (lol), really I just have split personalities...ha ha ha....just kidding. But really, the way I perform it is based on the original emotion that belongs to me, that brings me back to the moment I wrote it, and it simply can't be duplicated being so close to my heart....

I'm done being strange now :)

I learned the acoustic version of Paramore's "Decode" today. Hopefully if I get to record it as video, I will attract more viewers to my youtube page. There are soooooooooo many people obsessed with the twilight film that it's sure to catch a few, if not more. Recruit some new fans maybe? I also am hoping to record a couple new originals, but this all depends on how cooperative my sad recording equipment decides to be. Perhaps this will all end up to be only talk, and I'll actually be able to post nothing.... Regardless, I feel good today. For once. And I could get used to the feeling of happiness.....

I may be sitting in my shower with my guitar as I'm writing this, but I am happy indeed :)

Thank you to all those who follow my musical endeavors...I don't actually know if anyone reads this blog. *so I now officially request that everyone who reads this leave a comment even if it's just a smiley face or 'ok' or 'cool' or 'loser'....lol. just so I know I'm not alone in this world. I'll continue writing regardless...I need to vent sometimes.

Maybe I'll get a counter for my blog and I can know for real how many people read this....It's like I'm from the stone age sometimes- I should have thought of that much earlier than now.

BYE!
