Hey, so these are songs I made over the past 5 years.

.

Very diffrent then my album!



These are some songs I made a long long time ago. I don't know what I'm going to do with them, I guess its the type of thing where I made them but am not sure what that means and if I should make more. I know some people like them and that's amazing, But It can be so complicated, cause sometimes the things you wanna write songs about upset or can ruin friendships and relationships, so I found that I tend to start a song and I don't sit down and think okay I'm gonna write a song about Blah, I just start mumbling some words and then all of a sudden it makes sense and it's a verse and it oddly is how I am feeling at the time and then more words come and they all sort of make sense and then it's a song. So sometimes my songs go against how I'm feeling on the surface, and don't get me wrong how I'm feeling on the surface is great and I like how I'm feeling on the surface and most of the time I operate from there, so you can see that when I write a song that has nothing to do with how I'm feeling on the surface and maybe goes against that feeling, well that can cause problems with the people in my life who have based there lives on how I am feeling on the surface. I don't mean there lives revolve around me, but maybe I'm there best friend and I see them everyday and things are cool and then I write a song about not liking my best friend, well, on some level there might be things I don't like but hay you don't just bust peoples balls all day and call them out on there shit non-stop, no one is perfect and you chose as we all do to live with there short comings and except them as imperfect as they and we all are " Imperfect". But then you write a song that is coming from some magical place I guess where only the truth comes out and you can't write down things unless they are really true and then you have problems and maybe hurt this best friend of yours a lot and In real life where we don't sing to each other all day long, well that's just not okay. Like Liar liar. Soooo I have a hard time with the whole song thing, and having dated people who write songs from a true and honest place and been hurt by those songs I understand even if you know in your head "It's just a song" some how your heart just can't wrap it's feelings around that concept and thus, it is hard to write songs while having a Boyfriend or even just friends.

I have a few songs I'm still flushing out. Okay thanks, sorry for going on and on. Good luck today and I hope whatever happens you can greet everyone with as little judgement and cynicism as possible. Actually try not to be cynical about one thing all day, Nothing.



Thank's for checking this out. Bij
