"Full Alive"

this is probably the world's worst audio quality for which i beg of your forgiveness. lol... Using only my video camera at the moment. I tried to edit the audio by extracting it from the movie file and sending it to garage band but even after lots of tampering, little good was accomplished. - too much treble in the vocals, terrible guitar - vocals ratio, would have loved some harmonies, but alas, my mixing board needs to be replaced so the use of my current microphones is out of the question. I hope this tides people over a bit. :? hope your eardrums forgive me...in my defense, i think this is a great song :)

Lyrics:
I've woken up to find I've been afraid of living all this while,
but i'm not afraid to smile.

I wasted it away while wasting me away under the shade
Of the "do nothing, been nowhere"
As though I had no time for it.

I'll never say I have it made,
But I can't stop - can't stop - I have become addicted.
Seems like just thinking its enough
And the world just plays along
As if I'm changing all that's wrong til it goes my way...

I've been thinking, "what a fool I've been"
Can't believe I wasted time on them

Now my smile is full alive - neglected phrases find their rhymes
This capsize is hypnotizing
Never thought I'd love drowning

I'll never say I have it made,
But I can't stop - can't stop - I have become addicted.
Seems like just thinking its enough
And the world just plays along
As if I'm changing all that's wrong til it goes my way...

Now my smile is full alive, neglected phrases find their rhymes
This capsize is hypnotizing
Never thought I'd love drowning

I'll never say I have it made
But I can't stop - can't stop. I have become addicted
Seems like just thinking its enough....

I can't change all the things I've done
Like I can't stop the rising sun

Now I am skydiving
I don't need a hand behind me
I've got this motivation
Can't stop the earth's rotation
Now that I have all my pieces
I think that I could need this
But am I strong enough to believe you?...

I Speak Because I Can - Laura Marling

Musical Genius. the voice, the playing, the writing speaks for itself. Laura Marling is epic.

Gravity - Sara Bareilles

This song was requested by the one and only Keith Cowley: http://www.youtube.com/user/keithcowl...

I'm so glad to have heard this song and been able to spend the time learning it. :)

In other news I got my first ever iPod today!!! stay tuned after the song for me. talking. and watching me open up the package etc in real time. lol. how very entertaining...

"Reason for Rain" by Kori Eryn

Another rough recording to get out my new songs :)
4th fret capo - standard tuning
I recorded most of this during the day on march 3rd and mixed and edited it that evening when i got out of work for a couple hours. finished by 2am. HAD TO SLEEP. slept. woke up exhausted and posted the video for all to see. :) Better audio recordings to come in the future of many originals that when done will absolutely be posted for download on my facebook fan page. I want to get a good set of them done (demo album????!) before I release them. maybe i'll make a proper album production out of it. All recorded from home, all album art etc, by me. That sounds like a good project. Very fulfilling, though at times very frustrating. . . but that's the nature of the beast. Then I can release some music on iTunes as many of you have requested. enough rambling. enjoy this new song.

Lyrics:
Take your time to tell the tale
Don't leave out those words you said
Don't forget the part you played
in lies of love and beds un-made

'Cause nothing's right if nothing's changing here
Something's wrong if we don't recognize-
Our actions speak the lies our lips refuse

Treat me right - I'll be your lover
Play your cards right and I'll stay
Swear to me that you'll be faithful -
No lies of love and beds un-made

But how can I be certain when ever there's a velvet curtain shutting out
The light behind your eyes that tells it better than you
And our actions speak the lies our lips refuse.

I don't mind - I understand indecision
What I despise is lies of love and beds un-made
and that I'm entwined in lies of love and beds un-made

I'm no stranger to loving with my eyes closed
I'm no stranger to sleeping all alone
The danger's in the season when I can't find the reason for rain...

Winter in New England

I thought I'd post up some pictures I took of the snow here in Rhode Island...or at least in the immediate area surrounding my house. So here they are:

Blurry sunset? awesome.

Experimenting with the mirror.

I've posted some of my better photographs on redbubble.com :)

Here's a photo (courtesy of Keith Cowley) of my little show at Applebees on January 22, 2010. It was swell. I was really nervous at first but I relaxed after a while and had a blast! Thanks to any that came out to see me :)

I had to learn a lot of covers for that show, so I'll be putting them to good use via my youtube channel. So be on the lookout!!
