Fireskies.

I got a sudden burst of inspiration this evening and decided to work on another song. I'm really proud of this, and I really hope you can connect with this as much as I do - However doubtful that may be. Oh and as a sidenote, towards the end my vocals go a bit crap because I tried recording it earlier and my mic is crap so it kept fuzzing out when I was hitting the notes I needed to, so I had to tone it down, hence the off notes. Also my sister was complaining because it was late and I was singing too loud. I hope it'll suffice, but it really is nothing compared to what it's intended to be :(. I need some decent recording equipment...

Anyways! I worked really hard on this and would appreciate your comments!
Have a beautiful day!




Lyrics are as follows;

Some nights are just like this,
Kids get violent, I grow tired.
We place our faith in our throats, and we sing for our mothers,
Those who loved us, and we feel
Hate at those unreturned letters, from unreturned lovers,
and now I'm late for the chorus - She always looked so lovely when she sang.

And now there's fires in the streets,
and in the people we meet,
So hold your souls up high,
There's refuse in the sky.

Fireskies in your eyes.

SETH HAS A BANJO! AND A NEW SONG! YEAH!!

I'm quite happy with my banjo, I would have shown you guys it earlier but I had a horrible fever and chest infection so I couldn't really move around or talk, let alone sing. Anyways, I wrote this little tune last night, it's not much and the lyrics are balls (which is why I'm not posting them on here) but the point is: BANJO!
I really hope you enjoy the song. I've decided I'm going to stop posting covers because they drain my productivity and distract me from my main goal. So from now on this blog is dedicated to my own personal music which I have created and have dedicated to you lovely people that are kind enough to listen.
Have a magnificent day!

I'm really ill today, I was yesterday as well, so it's draining my productivity. I'm in America and I've hardly even left the house. I've written a couple tunes on my banjo already, but my throat hurts too much to sing, which is a shame because I'm getting a lot better. Hopefully I'll be able to record something tomorrow.
America is interesting, a little boring though. I still need to purchase a camera, and a keyboard. Once I get them then I think things will get interesting. Baby steps I guess.
My room isn't ready yet so I've been sleeping out on the couch the last few days. It won't be ready for about a week I think. I need someplace to retire though, I'm feeling a little crowded.
Today isn't that great, I hope tomorrow will be better.

I hope everyone is happy back home.

S'pose I should give you guys an update.

Well the house is insanely huge, so much so that we have an entrance to our entrance. I feel really rich, it's pretty cool, but it's also a little disgusting. The flight was alright, just boring because there weren't many good movies on and I every time I tried reading I'd fall asleep.
So far I've had starbucks and pizza, both have tasted better than anything found in the UK. So I guess that's a plus. I'm probably going to get really fat. I was expecting to anyway I guess. Tomorrow I'm going to Sea World, might strangle a few animals, we'll see how I feel when I get there.
After I spend some catchup time with the family I'll be more productive than ever, producing music left and right, so I guess you guys have something to look forward to. I'm going to get a banjo this week, I really can't wait. Not sure what else there is to say, I might do a collaberation with my brother. That'll be good.

Anyways, that's pretty much it for now, I hope everything in England is nice, and I hope it'll snow some more. Take care guys, I love you.

As much as this makes me happy to see, I can't help but feel terribley, terribley sad.

Sunday, 10 January 2010

Look guys, I wrote a song for once!

Right, I have to pack my PC away tonight in order to send it to California, so this is probably going to be my last post for a week or two. With that in mind, I had planned on writing a little something to say goodbye to all my lovely friends in England. But instead I ended up just generally writing a tune. So I dedicate this to you guys. My closest friends and associates, who I'm going to miss very much. I hope you can hear my sadness.
I've posted the lyrics below for you to have a gander at, they're somewhat based on an old poem I wrote, which is around here somewhere. Also, comments and criticism would really be much appreciated as I don't post original songs much.

Have a nice week.


I built you a paper plane/But you still can't fly away/Wash my head in the winter snow/And stare at life through the great below/I set my God aflame/Carved in his head your name/Where we'll look when the end is nigh/And he in turn will crack the sky.

I followed the yellow brick road/When no one told me where to go/I didn't find the kingdom of Oz/But I found a land of God.

I built you a paper plane/So we can fly away/Set your heart aflame/Carved in your head my name.
I think when I get to America one of the first things I'm going to do is buy a camera and work on a video for this. It'll be a good enough way to get used to putting film together in order to create dramatic effect. I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, and also, this song is absolutely beautiful in every way.

It's been a while since I've seen those horizons,
Those golden fields, still warm and crispy from the fires,
They bestow a sense of freedom, only achieved through utter carelessness,
The kind of freedom that makes your heart sink into melancholy,

The clock is still ticking and the days are running low,
So Please, Lord, turn this dreary rain into Winter snow.

I want to sleep in a big pile.

Friday, 1 January 2010

I suppose I should say a few words.

2010 has been shadowing over me like a death sentence. I've been dreading this all year, and I guess now it's finally arrived. And I'm not exactly saying goodbye to 2009, but to an era of my life that has permanently branded (in the most pleasant sense) myself as a person. I've been running this repeatedly through my head lately, I guess in life not many people have the luxury of growing up with a friend, let alone as many as your lovely selves, and as much as I wish to bestow that luxury upon all of you, I just can't, due to circumstance.

I'm so immensely greatful that you have entered my life, and have allowed me to be a part of yours, and I thank God for every precious memory that you guys have given me. I have so much love for all of you, and I feel like I'm going to burst, and I feel nothing but sadness and melancholy at the thought of leaving you all, but I guess it's just one of those pains that comes with life.

I've learnt an incredible amount about myself in these 5 and a half years, and about people in general. I've been able to better myself as a person, and I couldn't have managed without such lovely souls as yours around to influence me.

I promise you that I will be back. Perhaps even later on this year. And I will be exchanging words with a few of you personally before I go, because I'm a sentimental faggot. But for now, I collectively give you something for all of you to have and share. And it's something which you've always had, of course, but it's healthy to reiterate these kind of things. Anyways, I give you every last droplet of my love, and believe me, there's a lot of it. And as intangible and melodramatic as that is, I sincerely hope you enjoy it, and I hope it fills your hearts with joy and gladness, because I know that's what you do for me. I want you all to lead happy, happy lives. I love you all.

The clock is ticking. Keep your eyes on the horizon.
