New recording and a pier!

Yo! It's been awhile!

Been taking a break from anything and everything creative for abit, but I'm getting back into it now.

To start off, me and my muso buddies are entering a competition:

http://bustalyric.com.au/

Set To Shine (my band) is submitting this song: One Night Stand <- link

Bloody painstaking day recording that b!@#$; had to re-record to replace the vocals and had to do it to perfection, not to mention none of us could harmonize properly (lots of 'pitch perfection' a.k.a. auto tune).

Support us if you like us! The competition is voting based, so only if you like us!

Now here are some photos to look at while you listen to shit music.

One Night Stand (finally recorded)

Yeah... we finally got round to doing this haha!
Recorded roughly.. because I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to home self-producing stuffs, as is everything I record.

One Night Stand

Woke up off my couch messed its noon,

Can’t remember what I did last night

Still hear the music booming inside my head

Waiting for it to subside

Who’s that passed out chick lying next to me

Dressed up in her torn up jeans

Trying to think of some explanation

What the hell’s up with this scene

What is it now, what do I do

Should I call my friends, and what if they knew

How’d she wind up at my door

Did we hook up late last night at a bar

Did I meet you at a club

Did we drink and dance until we dropped

Did this mean anything at all

Did we share a moment together

Or should I pass you by again

When you wake up will you up and leave

Or will you stay with me

Is this a one night stand

Looking at your sleeping smile

I wonder if you dreams of me

I know it’s not my usual style

To fall in love I’m in too deep

I don’t know the reason, I’m questioning why

I’m asking for reasons, it’s been a while

Since I wanted more than another booty call

What is it now, what do I do

Should I call my friends, and what if they knew

Did you even catch my name

Did we hook up late last night at a bar

Did I meet you at a club

Did we drink and dance until we dropped

Did this mean anything at all

Did we share a moment together

Or should I pass you by again

When you wake up will you up and leave

Or will you stay with me

Is this a one night stand

What is it now, what do I do

Should I call my friends and what if they know

Will I ever see you again

Did we hook up late last night at a bar

Did I meet you at a club

Did we drink and dance until we dropped

Did this mean anything at all

Did we share a moment together

Or should I pass you by again

When you wake up will you up and leave

Or will you stay with me

Is this a one night stand

The Words I've Never Said (new song)

Oh hai guise!
It's about time I get back into blogging, I've been kind of procrastinating when it came to this.
I've been stubborn because I wanted my next post to be this song when I FINALLY finish it.
I wrote this song for all my friends, a kind of, "sorry-if-I've-ever-hurt-you/been-a-jerk/just-been-a-horrible-friend-but-I-love-you" or just plainly "I-fucking-love-you-guys" kinda song....

..yeah...

The Words I've Never Said

UPDATE:
A few minor modifications, with an alternative ending: 
The Words I've Never Said (alternative ending)

Listen for a moment

This is important to me

I’ve written a million things

Cheap lines and corny feelings but

These are the words that I’ve never said to you

But I’m saying them now because

You’re important to me

I will never forget you

Engraved in the best of my memories

With everyone that comes and goes

You are the few I’ll keep.

You are the friend that I think of

When I need someone with me, in front of a

Starry night, a Christmas light,

Or a funny sign on the side walk 

You are the friend that I think of

When I need someone with me, after a

Drunken night, a stupid fight

When I’m down in my darkest

And I’m singing this to you

Because you are one of the special ones.

Do you remember all the moments

That we never wanted to end

Those quiet nights of endless talking

The party drinks and excessive gambling

Thick and thin, through and through

I will always be grateful to the day I met you

These words I’ve never said

Are words I’ll never forget

And even when we’re miles apart

When our lives divide us

Know I’ll always care

And I’ll always be there.

You are the friend that I think of

When I need someone with me, in front of a

Starry night, a Christmas light,

Or a funny sign on the side walk 

You are the friend that I think of

When I need someone with me, after a

Drunken night, a stupid fight

When I’m down in my darkest

And I’m singing this to you

Because you are one of the special ones.

And you know that there aren’t that many I can turn to

And when things are dire, there is no way I would let you

Fall. Fall away. I’ll hold you up, endlessly.

Because you are that special to me.

You are the friend that I think of

When I need someone with me, in front of a

Starry night, a Christmas light,

Or a funny sign on the side walk 

You are the friend that I think of

When I need someone with me, after a

Drunken night, a stupid fight

When I’m down in my darkest

And I’m singing this to you

And I’m singing this to you

And I’m singing this to you

Because you are one of the special ones.

There are moments... (rant)

There are moments when I'd feel adventurous; the world is my playground. I'd look at something and just say 'yes'. I remember when I wasn't like this before. I was so conservative. Although I'm not sure when I started being so outgoing.


I feel really childish sometimes when I want to be adventurous; seeing a possible moment and seizing it in my next heartbeat, thinking nothing but of the moment. I wonder if that's a weakness? Being so easily side-tracked sometimes gets me in trouble. The most recent incident had one of my friends get angry at me haha; I got so busy that I seemed unreachable.

There are moments when I want to be alone, and I explore and my imagination becomes my company. I'd think, and think, and think some more. I prefer being alone when I have no negativity in my life. Being alone when being consumed with hate and pain makes me so cynical, but then I swallow it down and return back to earth. Sometimes I wonder if that cynical side of me will ever explode and take over. I may be killing bitches. There have been moments when I've opened that high-pressured bottle and I've taken it out on people I love. #thingsIamnotproudof

But when life's good, my imagination is like an epic battle anime. Half the time I swear my mind should be a TV show. Same with my dreams; I have the most screwed up dreams. One time I had this dream, I was getting kinky with two girls (trust me, this is not what you're thinking). We're kissing and our tongues are 'going places', things getting pretty hot and steamy. It was pretty much a wet dream up until the point where the condom had to be opened from its wrapper. None of us could get it open, none of the three. So we started playing Scrabble. Yeah I know.

There are moments when I'm not alone, and it's the best thing ever. Recently I hanged with two of my best mates from university, and I +1ed one of my friends thinking it may be awkward since I haven't seen these two in awhile. But it was so fun, and I realised just how much I missed them. Other times I'd be alone late at night on a train ride home consumed with shit and drunk off my face, and my best friend would take the time to stay on the line and talk; and I'd pay him the same respects.

One time me and my mate went to a park, and just sat under a tree and relaxed. No words. No conversation. I had my guitar and he just slept. Just having company can sooth temporary problems.

And finally, there are moments when I feel so displaced from everyone and everything around me. Not that I don't fit in, I know I do. I think it's more like just me being in my own world; or rather the world will turn without me and I can't keep up, or perhaps it's just me travelling in another direction. I usually feel like this during significant change. Right now in my life there are quite a few changes happening; new things emerging, current things developing, and there are things that I want to change, but won't.

However, I'm a firm believer of destiny. Everything happens for a reason. I'm sure I'll appreciate the end of all these things. And I'm sure there is happiness at the end of all this.

I know there is.


Just have to be patient.

COVER: Damned If I Do Ya - All Time Low

So me and my friend, Mr Juco, decided to cover a song and add to our song list.
Try... to cover.

This is a live version, one-take cover. Excuse the fails.

Damned If I Do Ya by All Time Low!!

NEW SONG: Timeless (draft)

A catchy piece I wrote with Mr. Juco



Timeless

I am not the type that you would fall for
I am not the guy of your dreams
But still we hung out and maybe I fell a little
Because of those nights or so it seemed

CHORUS
Cherish those timeless moments
The night club kiss and late night phone calls
Because I'm ready to break and fall in time
You see, my life is temporary
And when the time comes you won't be needing me
But smile and remember the times...
and make it timeless!

Ever since we met, I knew it wouldn't happen
I knew that who you saw wasn't me
Don't be sad for me, I'm glad you found you're meant to be
Just give me time, and I will come around
You'll see..

CHORUS
Cherish those timeless moments
The night club kiss and late night phone calls
Because I'm ready to break and fall in time
You see, my life is temporary
And when the time comes you won't be needing me
But smile and remember the times...
and make it timeless!

BRIDGE

Cherish your timeless moments
Because that's all you will have
When I'm gone, and its just you two at the scene
You know I'd take the fall, so all you guys would have it all
Just forget me, forget me...

Cherish those timeless moments
The night club kiss and late night phone calls
Because I'm ready to break and fall in time
You see, my life is temporary
And when the time comes you won't be needing me
But smile and remember the times...
and make it timeless!

Self-portrait: JROCK

So I woke this morning after a night of Halloween clubbing, with my make-up half gone and my hair all retarded, and I thought...

'damn I look like a wreck. A damn BEAUTIFUL WRECK!'

And so I took a picture.

I went as a goth btw. Turned out more jrock than goth, but hey that's even better!
