PLEASE

find a Sunny place To lie down and listen
and hold nice And close the ones who get to Your soul

I'm going to the farm

It's more than music. I want to go to Bonnaroo 2011 for more reasons other than seeing a bunch of headliners. I want to establish what my friendships have built up to over my high school experience. And ya i get it it's 500 dollars...big deal. You'd spend more than that on each of the individual concerts why not see them all on one weekend. I just want to take some time after a hectic graduation ceremony to relax in a field, play the mandolin, and enjoy myself, but I don't wanna do it alone. I thought it was gonna be six, but now its down to five, and four of those are iffy. I hope they can commit I don't know what else to do to convince them (and their parents) that this will be a worthwhile experience, and we won't get arrested/murdered/raped. I'm committing Saturday I hope that four others will too...if not maybe my dad will go with me =/

Just a thought

Everything is beautiful
Nothing is insignificant

I feel wise, but that's just another youthful folly

Fuck What You Heard; You Were Lied To

I started writing music on my own for the first time, and it sucks. Maybe electronic music just isn't my scene, and acoustic always made me feel better anyway. The islands blow my mind with there simple patterns and beautiful harmonies not to mention the indie album artwork, that's acoustic. Electronic is supposed to be the same just more involved timbres and tones. I'm not gonna give up on the computer to make music I just need to make it simpler. Lots of work, but much excitement. I wish I could sing well enough to record. Another project! Sorry school I'm too busy already, maybe I'll re prioritize come college, but for now a singular goal; make a song that sounds how I feel.

Good Luck...to me

I don't really know what it is about summer

During the winter I felt so depressed I didn't want to move I thought that it was just the time of year
Recently hasn't been much better though


to make a music reference
I often told myself that when things went poorly for me I was just playing the right rhythms and just hitting the wrong notes or vice-versa
Although lately I feel like I've fucked both of them up

My good friend just told me "Ben, It's easy to lie to yourself,It's a habit that's hard to break"
I know I believe him, but now I don't know if I can believe myself...about anything

This song makes me feel a little better

We'll fight like hell
to hide that we're
giving up
