Just a few random pics and songs

'Spiral out, Keep going'

------

Since I've gotten ahold of a drumset to mess around with, I figured I'd share a few pics of me having some fun. ;)

I've been in a bit of a drought with writing lately, I've just had so much on my mind and so many different things I've been trying out. Hopefully soon I'll have something worthwhile to post, but until then, I guess it'll just be small tidbit updates such as this.

Much love to all,
Geoff

I'll close with two songs that I've been (over)playing lately and also one song whose lyrics I have fallen in love with again. :)

'Warning' by incubus
I suggest we learn to love ourselves
before it's made illegal.
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to see it all come down.
Those left standing will make millions
writing books on the way it should have been...

When she woke in the morning,
she knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning:
"Don't ever let life pass you by!"

'I Got Id (aka I Got Shit)' by Pearl Jam
An empty shell seems so easy to crack.
Got all these questions. Don't know who I could even ask.
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
where I'm not ugly and you're looking at me.

And I stay in bed. Oh, little I've seen there.
If just once I could feel loved, oh, Stare back at me. Yeah.

But I walked alive when you held me in that night.
Oh, I walked alive when you held my hand that night.
Oh, I walked alive when you held me close that night.
I paid the price. Never held you in real life.
My lips are shaking...




And then of course, one of my all time favorites:

'Black' by Pearl Jam

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything

All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
Why can't it be mine?

Sweet, sweet.

The songs were good, and so were the band shots as well.

You should post more songs that you actually sing.

I'm just saying...
