Bring me back a hot man with a very large, tropical drink. And if you could bring back some warmer weather, too, that'd be nice.

I'm thinking we can figure out what lyrics work with what sounds once we get a chance to sit down and play together. You sure you're not stopping in Chicago on your way home? ;)

Sorry. I'm tired. I'm delusional. Remind me not to post when I'm like this.

And get home safe!

Aloha! Thanks for sharing! =] Indeed it is what this is all about!!

The 3/4 time may work. I've been using the PS-02 as a scratchpad for differnet chord progressions, riffs and whatnot. I've recorded a short segment of a song including the drum features and have a dark-sounding song which I had been thinking may be a solo project, but now I realize it may work well with this. (Sometimes wavelengths run paralelle, eh?) Its a bit too Creed/Metallica sounding as is, however I've been thinking how to funk it up a bit wth different drums and a bassline. This gives me a few ideas for that.

Anything I can send/bring to you from Hawaii? Only two days left in paradise..

I'm getting lyric ideas for another song that I think I'd like to call "Restless." This is one I was thinking about writing myself, but it might be better as a Blacktop Fields project. The pre-chorus would be, "I want to be everything I know I can be/I want to be everything you see in me." I also have the line in there somewhere "Step out of my head and face reality," but I'm not sure where it will go yet. I also scribbled down two verses that I'm not sure if I like or not. But hey, I might as well share them 'cuz this is what this is for, right?

Scars on my fingers prove how hard I have tired
The passion consumes all I lock deep inside
I can't even count all the times that I cried
(I don't like the line I had here, so I'm going to change it, or we could do this song in 3/4 time (waltzy) and keep verses/choruses to three lines -- that might be fun, actually)

Grooves in the skin penetrate to the core
The nerves scream out stop but I need just one more
Before I can argue, the one becomes four
(Again, I didn't like this line. It was the same as the last line of the previous stanza -- "Trying to make something beautiful" or "And I start to believe I am beautiful" But yeah, I'm not thrilled with this last line, so yeah, let's change it)

But the premise of the song is kind of one's perception of oneself versus the outside world's perception of that person, dig? Like I may think I'm great, but the rest of the world thinks I suck, or vice versa.

Of course, this idea might work better as part of "Skinny White Boy." Who knows. :)
