On The Hunt

1. I almost have a CD's worth of songs.
2. I'm not sure how I'll record them - I'd like to have a full band.
3. My current website has been up far too long, and I ripped it off anyway, so time for a new one.
4. Looking for a vibe to go with the new music/website. Came across a site where you can have your design printed on fabric at Spoonflower.com
5. Coolness.

More Company with Pages

I've been reading Cathy's Book and Cathy's Key by Stewart/Weisman/Brigg. Kinda neat with all the illustrations on the pages. From an artistic point of view, I enjoyed it. Also just finished William Kent Krueger's latest The Devils Bed. I like Cork O'Conner, but the new character was pretty likable too! A few months ago I read the Twilight series in about 3 days. I enjoyed them too. It was nice to have a quick read (for an adult anyhow) with characters I found myself caring about...

Wild Ponies

This is a rough draft of my new tune Wild Ponies (oh, and I should say that there was a little influence from Tori Amos "Fast Horse" but I tried to not rip it off completely - the tunes are completely different. :)

Climbing on the breeze she could taste it perfectly
A buttercup drowning by the stream
Never get it right with those muddy feet confined
Lost in the tide of a shallow dream

Lost and running in streams of green
Wearing shades of palomino coloring
Beat her down and run this one free
Tied off from your mental shackling

You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
You’re lost in your jeremiad
You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
You rope them in your purgatory

Hope you can ride and hang on tight
Cause her skin is crawling from the inside
Bear the load of your wet feet
Suckling your damned insecurity

You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
You’re lost in your jeremiad
You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
You rope them in your purgatory

Why can't these feet carry her faster?

Control of body can’t control the mind
Now she’s ready this time to cross your line
Better get on your phone and call this one back to you
Pure antidote for your hold

You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
But you’re lost in your jeremiad
You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
Lost in your purgatory
