would like to profess my newfound love and respect for  MASSIVE ATTACK

perfect pitch.

hi.

working with a band is fun. its interesting because you take time not just to compose and synchronize, but also to get to know the other members - their strange habits, sense of humor, colloqialisms... their limits. you become attuned to their frequencies and for just a little while, you experience a song from their point of view. maybe you have an opportunity to learn more. or maybe you ultimately learn that perhaps, just as two notes might clash, two people might clash as well, that is to say two streams of thought might clash, two opinions or two perspectives might clash. or perhaps you may work in harmony, and together create something unlike anyone has ever heard. it really depends on your judgement. do you have the ear for the right notes?

50 year old's wish.

Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've learnt this in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I kept closest

my cute dogs.

Does everyone else add background music to the odd happenings in their everyday life? As I was watching my extremely fat dog look deep into the distance and think about his life yesterday afternoon, I complimented the glaze in his eyes and the pain in his heart with a melancholic piece - that I obviously sang out loud, after which my brother joined in and completely ruined the simplicity of it all.

Also, I've been thinking what it'd be like if zoey thought in the voice of Queen Elizabeth.


Brain, shut up please.

Sometimes.... I need a real strong coffee to convince myself that that the thoughts i pen down aren't just bitter ramblings of a neurotic teenager. The coffee doesn't help, though i'm getting better at drinking it.

I think it's a pain.
Whats a pain?
This constant pretense. This unnecessary importance given to such insipid people. 

Who knew song writing could be fun?

Holding on to whats left
Your faith will carress you
Looking for something that just isn't there
Face up! Its time to fly away

We heard your prayer
We're waiting there

Into the bright light
With wings unfurled
Dreams unwind in
This brand new world

Taste the rapture
Time is blurred
Touch and capture
A brand new world

So is your purpose shaking?
Dont break down when your hope is lost
And looking for words to say
Discover the strength to find your way

I can see you wanting to believe
In something that is greater than you or me
And so you finally start to see
That you have the power in you to break free


Into the bright light
With wings unfurled
Dreams unwind in
This brand new world

Taste the rapture
Time is blurred
Touch and capture
A brand new world
