New Song Lyrics

Bury me
in the sea
of make believe
where no one will find

out that i
am just a lie
told too many times
to everyone i know

it's hard to be the victim when you are causing all the pain
in a world of much and nothing
there's standing in the rain

and if you get the notion and you want to follow me
don't waste your time
i'll be just fine
on my own

every shade
of blue and grey
in a modern haze
surrounds you and me

I wake up
when you start to cry
for reasons why
no one seems to know

it's hard to be the victim when you are causing all the pain
in a world of much and nothing to do
there's standing in the rain

and if you get the notion and you want to follow me
don't waste your time
i'll be just fine
on my own

So Today....

Lunch at Kate

...Is the first day of August. I was hoping it was would be off to a better start. Well, to be perfectly honest today started fairly well. I spent most of the day out pretending to be a tourist. That meant going uptown. Shhhh....Don't tell the hipsters I went about 14th street. I might loose my street cred. I spent a lot of time today looking for Summerfest. That is a concert/art series that runs here in New York in the summer. I have never been and today they had a brazilian dance thing going. Sounded like a load of good times to me. I finally found it after walking about 20 blocks out of my way. The line was WAY long and I decided to go the the MOMA instead. And it took me forever to get there. I always forget how many tourist are on 5th ave. It's like trying to part the red sea of mid-westerners(my apologies to my friends and family in the the mid west). To top it off, I always forget what street its on.

After MOMA I thought I would search out a Strarbucks. Actually, I started the search long before MOMA and I could not for the life of me find one. I mean downtown I can stand on one corner and throw a rock and hit three. But eventually I found one. Grande Ice Coffee please!

Next I decided to venture back and see about the dance thingy(hold on gotta turn the record over). Somehow I found my way back. It was nothing short of a miracle and the line was so long there had to be more people in line than in the show. No thanks! Downtown I went. I hopped a bus down to the village. For most of the ride it was just me and the driver. It was like i had a really big ugly limo.

After a few drinks out at a couple dt spots I came on home. Now to the bad news of the day. Turns out I have really upset a friend of mine I just met from LA. I don't care to go into details, but it was over a huge misunderstanding and now I don't think she wants to be friends any longer which really sucks cause she is super cool. Now I am just back at my place playing my new record i bought tonight. It's a real heartbreaker so it fits the evening. I hope things work out for us. I hate losing friends especially like this.

I almost don't want to mention, but in other news were we played on another radio show. You can check it out here if you like:

Episode 154

Gotta tell you. One of the reasons I love making music so much is that I get to meet cool people. And this is how I met my friend in LA. Though it seems like today I am having the opposite affect on people. I sure hope tomorrow is not the same as today...

btw The picture is from lunch at Kate's with my friend Jerllin. I am having Fries and the Unturkey Club. She had the same.

Ten of the best songs I am listening to:

Ten of the Best Songs

In other news today I have to finish up a story for a magazine that is gonna feature us. I was supposed to do that last week. Opps!

I also started reading a new book today. The Artist's Way. I will let you know how it goes. It came recommended to me from my friend Tif. If it's good enough for her, it's good enough for me.

I don't sleep...

This is my view from my seat at my favorite little eating spot in all of New York. It's Jimmy's Diner of course, but to be honest it has nothing to do with my post.

I hate sleeping. Well, i guess that is a lie. I hate going to sleep. Like for instance right now. I am tired. It's late, but the thought of sleeping right now just makes me mad. But eventually, I will give in. I think it comes from when I was a kid and my parents made me go to be early. I would lie there forever before I would finally fall asleep. Now, with that being said I can't seem to ever get up in morning. I like the idea of getting up early and seeing the day take shape, but I never do.

Anyways, in other news we are being played on three new radio stations. One is in Ontario, and the other two are in the great state of Texas. Damn, I love Texas!

Tomorrow we start shooting for our tour documentary so I guess I should get some sleep. Though I don't want to.

Say

You say it's over
If I'll say
that we were just pretend
if that's the way it must end

Then I'll go
but you'll stay
alone now
we were so in love
even if the world won't end

it's just another memory
creeping in the back of my mind
killing me this time

you'll say that world is wrong
I'll say it'll never fall apart
even if you break my heart

nobody's crying
cause this time
there's just no use
this is how it had to end

it's just another memory
clinging to the back of my mind
settles around for days
dreaming of love it won't find
i loved you
but love is gone
away
