What's That About?

I cross the line, kick digits to your name.
Cross your burdensome arms over the heart on your sleeve.

And oh, I could bother you with endless refrains
cross out the metaphors and scribble your name
uncross those arms, quit lookin at me like I'm insane.
Brighten up, lighten up, what's that about?

Did you trip again and send them away?
poured it onto page after page
send my regards,
I've overstayed,
I realize,
I raise the stakes.

Just kids with blurry eyes that are wide for the change.
Barely content, fully wired for the pace.

At least she was honest when she told me to change,
wouldn't miss a beat, I think you know about my aim,
quit with the smiles, honey, you're wasting time.
Lighten up, lighten up, what's that about?

Do yourself a favor
and get yourself some change.

Autumn Rose

So I finally put Autumn Rose up for any of y'all who ain't put yer hands on the shit yet. Um, currently working on some stuff with Paul and Tunan, will record soon, will let y'all know. No idea about a band name or anything, but we'll see how it goes. Anyway Autumn Rose is now here: http://rapidshare.com/files/238795125/Autumn_Rose.zip.html

some 2007 shit

I wish this had not vanished into oblivion, with the Rain Dogs.

'You got winter in yer eyes,
it's so white that it hurts,
I was drinkin strong coffee,
you were still in that shirt,
I was waiting for you patiently,
like I was wishing for rain,
I was dressed in all green,
everyday is the same.

But still,
you ain't nothin but sun,
still,
you could shoot the shit with anyone,
still,
you were walkin with a small parade,
still sayin nothin,
we had nothin to say.'

or this,

'I got suspense,
if you suspend your belief,
I'll save you grief.
I save all your little shit.
I am too much with this.'

Yeh, I don't know, it just seems more profound than anything I've written lately. I guess Tuesdays were some pretty okay times for lyrics for me. I wish I could figure out what it is I've lost since then. Vigor?

'washing the midnight blue out of work clothes'
washing the scent of blue & grey out of your work clothes
watching the morning dew rise out of the dandelions
watching the silent hue turn from light to bright
and watching the grass and trees turn to concrete and neon
semi-formulated pseudo-existentialist, slightly ontological
alienation,
and being found in things you'll never really find.
and you have no family, no deep-rooted songs
passed down and repeated so they stick to you
moreso than anything you'll ever write,
but you will write, you need it,
'so deep all the sex and dope in this world can't erase the need'

there are certain things,
that are heavy

and the past shoves you forward
in a corny kind of way that
makes
you shiver.

and still though,
it's easy to not believe you,
when I can't see you
and I don't hear from you
for so long that it's sortoflike
echoes
in that

i only caught the tail end of that sentence
and i still dont believe you

its short i hope thats okay

ps: new wilco album has leaked, and is fucking awesome.

100th POST YALLZ

Yeh, so this is my 100th post, that's cool, I guess. Um, country album done, currently working on figuring out some kind of band scenario with Paul and Tynan here in Hali, so I don't really know how much new stuff I'll be putting out in the next little while. FCS becoming more of a big deal every day, and I think you know how awesome that is. FCS fa lyfe.

Alright, it's time to get real. I am so fucking terrified that something has to be going wrong in my life for me to write something profound, and I have no idea what to do about it. Hopefully this isn't the case, but dude, Hank Williams had it, and I am really fucking worried. But, just to keep spirits up: http://www.4shared.com/file/104288932/452f5b05/Camron_-_Where_I_Know_You_From__Produced_By_Skitzo_.html Brilliant shit.

Just Call Me Lonesome release today

So, I am currently in the process of uploading the country album onto myspace for anyone that is interested in hearing the final product. It is much shorter than I had originally planned, but I think that's for the best. Also you've probably heard everything on it, but here it is, and I will also upload a downloadable zip file in the next little while and post a link to it on the myspace.

Official track list:
1 Now I Got Those Cigarettes (Elvis EP)
2 Don't Be Cruel (Elvis EP)
3 Tears on my Pillow Medley (Slim Whitman rendition, Sylvester Bradford & Al Lewis)
4 Aged to Imperfection (unreleased)
5 Whiskey River (relatively new)
6 That's Gold (Babette Hayward cover)
7 i have found what you are like (relatively new)
8 Tomorrow's Gonna Be a Brighter Day (Jim Croce cover)
9 Real Love (Out of the Shadows) w/ Babette Hayward

Will see about a cd release.

So, the new Eminem album (Relapse) is officially garbage, and the new Cam'Ron is officially ingenious and perfect. Also, new Regina Spektor album this month, and the first single (Laughing With) is great, as to be expected. New Wilco album pretty much goes without saying I think. Anyway Crime Pays has leaked, and can be found here so I suggest you d/l it. Thanks Bun for the link.

Love, Baby, Honey Please.

http://www.ibiblio.org/ipa/poems/komunyakaa/my_father%27s_love_letters.php

I'm going to make a conscience effort to really start reading a lot again. Started with No Exit yesterday, and continuing with Yusef Komunyakaa today. Also suggest listening to his readings. Anyway if I do end up putting together any kind of cohesive collection of songs in the next little while, I suspect I'll be titling it 'Love, Baby, Honey Please.' In any case the following may be a somewhat feeble attempt at rekindling my love affair with poetry.

A line of cars in the silver,
that punctured lung feeling of decay
passed on a narrow street
and you feel your feet bog down downtown.
But even if it's unreasonable,
it's really real.
And it's all you can do to hold her awkwardly
on the piles of rocks and chainlink orange
shadows on the dirt glowing
and you can't remember being so young,
but you definitely were,
arms crossed and hat backwards
really feeling every step like new feet,
and maybe now it's all you can do to buy new shoes.
There needn't be an exit, only shelter
and that's why you felt like a shadow
standing in line with the people you never gave change to,
and it changed you.

Greetings From Halifax

So hello everyone. This is my first post from Halifax, and everything I've done here the past couple days has been firsts, and they've all been awesome. Everything seems new and awesome, especially me. Not in the cocky sense, but in the sense that I feel young for the first time since I was like 15. 16 at best. And so what I'm saying is that this city is awesome, and I fucking love it. Just walking around makes me feel new and excited again. Wide-eyed and pumped as fuck. Money is good, Al Pal and I are just rocking buck luv, and today we hung out with Paul and all I can say is that this just seems to keep getting better. In fact, today was thoroughly satisfying and uplifting and fun. And it's just being mature and appreciative that is making it so extremely satisfying. This is one of the most difficult life-changes I've ever made, but it's also the best idea I've ever had, and this seems early, but it isn't. Right now everything is great, and this week Me and Paul (Willie Nelson reference) are gonna start writing. And I'm gonna start hitting the shows and open mics and shit, and it's gonna be awesome. I love and miss all my dawgs, and several other people that are important to me, but this is fucking just brilliant. Brilliant. Also new Cool Kids, couple new Cam leaks from Crime Pays, new Eminem still sucks balls, and we bought Ashes of American Flags the other day and it is mind-blowing. Definite recommendation.
