So after nearly 6 years of playing with my band ive learned alot. Alot about music alot about people alot about life and alot about me. I realized that you cant please everyone...something that i guess ive always known but.....faced with the challenge i have tried to. Right or wrong. Music is really way more than sound...its energy its honesty its confidence its emotion...and when that emotion is pure and unbridled...thats when it connects....we play this "rock" set seamlessly and we have for awhile but is that what people want? Is that what i want? I dont think so...or at least im not sure...what i want is to challenge myself..to be honest in every strum of my guitar and every word i say with every fiber of my..... here comes the cliche my "being"...cliche as it may be thats what i want. There are so many levels in life in anything that you do no matter who you are...your maybe the guy or gal who just picked up the guitar or just wrote a poem or just did your first roundhouse or just caught your first wave or just kissed a girl or just did you're first line of coke or... or ...or ...or whatever. The point is i think...and im not sure and maybe i need to qualify more than most but so be it. Its those moments where you are bigger than yourself...where life stands still...where life ceases to be anything a place where you dont think you just feel.. the place where you somehow became who you wanted to be a place without critics a place without "no"...your own little garden where you live life on your own terms....."the place"...weve all been there and we all want to go back, and i think we can...its elusive as fuck its like tv remote its hard to find sometimes you look under the cushions of your couch..the bathroom....wherever!.... and you try to retrace your steps and you cant find it and then...when your not looking there it is again. Touch it feel it take it all in whenever that moment comes cause you can never be sure when its coming back.
