Karaoke

Went karaoke a couple nights ago for my little brother's birthday. It was so much fun!

I think my voice may have gotten a little stronger with all the singing I do at home. yay!!

Good times and good music = awesomeness all around


(Oh, and the ReverbNation widget has been moved to the side bar to your left)

open mic suggestions?

I've been surfing the net looking at possible open mics, and just the idea of being in front of people performing something I've written is freaking me out.

Anyone in the Portland, OR area with suggestions for beginner-friendly open mics?

I'll probably chicken out.

Performing instrumentally is nothing new to me, but singing? Eek!

ReverbNation

Found a widget via ReverbNation! :D

The site seems pretty cool. There's a lot of stuff to go through.

I'll be moving the widget to the sidebar later in the week.

Became to Me

As promised, a new song has been posted. It's up on my MySpace. Link is on the left if you're interested. It's titled "Became to Me," and was essentially written in the car on a rainy, dreary night.

So... you can imagine what sort of song it is. It's just my piano and me being all melodramatic and depressing.

Does anyone know of any sort of widget-type thing that will allow me to have songs on my actual blog page?? That way there's less redirecting and clicking for you guys.

While I was writing this song I kept thinking of the fanfiction stories written by Rebekka. I'm not exactly sure why because her stories aren't really that sad. They're full of hope. I guess this is one of the emotions she somehow captures with her writing. It's spectacular, and you should definitely check her out.

Anyways, what do you guys think about the song?

Lyrics:

Sitting still in the darkened night, things don't seem all right.

Feeling lost like a butterfly captured in mid-flight.

I'll become what you became to me.

A lie. A painful memory

I'll become what you became to me.

You're just another misery.

Arms are wrapped tight around my knees. Can't fall to pieces.

Once again, caught in your deceit. Tired of your sorries.

I'll become what you became to me.

Withdrawn; indifferent empathy.

I'll become what you became to me.

You're just another misery.

Deep down in my heart, a secretive thought.

A yearning that can't be stopped.

In time, your memory will fade.

Till then I will wait, wait for that day.

I'll become what you became to me.

You're just another misery

dragging feet

I'm dragging my feet and I don't even know why.

I guess I'm feeling insecure about music. But I shouldn't be. It's just another way of giving myself the excuse to do nothing.

My doubt is making me angry. I need to get over myself.

So.... I shall be posting a song by the end of the week. If I don't, I give you permission to smack me.

Sweet love song

The high that comes with being inspired is... amazing. spectacular. full of love.

I wish I could bottle up this feeling for those cloudy days.

New song is in the works! I have essentially all the musical parts down. All I need to do is figure out the order in which they go, and the lyrics.

It tastes like a sweet love song.
