On a plane ride...

...the more it shakes, the more I have to let go. 

Lyric of the day pour moi. Ahh, earlier I could've written about 10,000 words for this. Mostly because I was bored at work and over-thinking. Now I have less time, as I'm trying to start my TMA tonight, but need to eat and want to watch NCIS in 50mins. Never enough time. 

Talking of never enough time, I'm going to try and cut back my hours at work. I need space to breathe. At the moment I basically have 3 things going - work, degree and music. Really, it's too much. Especially when I want to be spending more and more time on my music. I was thinking earlier that I'd love to have a week off work, and just sit in my room and write and try to create a new sound, something different, something which shows how much Nada Surf and Rogue Wave are influencing me. Obviously at the moment I don't have time, but it would be great if I did. That said, I have absolutely no idea how you create a new sound. I guess you always sound one way or the other, sounds just get bigger and better (or worse) unless you re-invent yourself every album and your name is Avril Lavigne and you have other people to write songs for you and produce your music. Hm. 

I don't have many minutes...so I'll make this quick. I'm getting ill - woke up this morning with a sore throat which is TYPICAL. I almost lost my voice before my last gig, so maybe it's like gig-stress related or something. Which is stupid because I'm not properly nervous... just a bit apprehensive about playing some new songs which are about what's happened in the last 6 months. And like, blatantly are as well. I've said to people in the past that I don't mind singing my songs in front of people because for the most part by the time I sing them to an audience, I've detached myself from the feelings that were connected to the song. Unfortunately this detachment isn't quite complete for some of the songs, and I feel like people will be able to tell this, and know what it's about. Oh well. Only the people that know me I guess. *Stops being obsessive*

I want to two-step to Inside of Love right now. I was reading interviews with Nada Surf today, it was a good use of my time, it made me smile :)  Matthew Caws is so cool.

I just feel like singing. 

No pictures today, sorry. I have to go now. More tomorrow. Maybe I will write a proper essay tomorrow when I (hopefully) have a bit more time to hand.
