I am on fire..... Not in the way i have been as i have seen the world aflame as of late. The pain i was feeling has given way to inspiration. Things have been on a bit of a standstill for us the last month as the air quality and pandemic have consumed our minds and health and lives. But last night we finally laid it all out in the studio. and friends music speaks! " I thought by now i'd be somewhere else. but now my dreams sit on a shelf. asperations in a hidden drawer and memories scattered on the floor, How long since we looked around ? found hidden beauty and some solid ground? when did i become this me? no longer free and its killing me." this is an exert from our song standing still ( give it a listen on our music page!) and as i sang these lyrics i had written it was as if i was hearing them for the first time. Ever listen to the radio and a song comes on you've heard a thousand times but it feels like the first time all over again? that was me! what am i doing what has this life become getting so wrapped up in the chaos that has been 2020 getting so focused on waiting for a new year a new dawn that you forget about today this moment, this sunset, this life we have been so graciously given . So i decided i am not wasting it i dont want to waste a dime a moment or a tear! i want to soak it in the good the ugly the beautiful! I have been searching for this silver lining in the smoke and haze and i thought it just wasnt there but i realize i was just looking in the wrong direction blinded by flames and masks. It has been so long without being able to touch the world i stopped letting it touch me! I think as a whole earth this is relatable since at this moment in life we are all going through many of the same things because all of our worlds have been and continue to be rocked .... and not in the good way as music venues are hit hard as well as musicians and all other industries affected so deeply by the state of current affairs. But friends , family , follower,,, WIDOWMAKERS!!! I just wanted to say i feel ,you i hear you ,i am you!!! but use your gifts do things that make you feel alive! And please whatever you do do not give up give yourself something to look forward to and everyday dammit do something you live for. Because the only failure in life is rolling over and letting life get the better of you live each day . I dont know i guess i just feel like that saying life is to short is true why waste it! Lets live! However we can whenever we can!
