Oh là là

I wrote this song when I lived in Belgium (in 2005/6), but I never recorded it because I thought it would take too long.  Well, it did take most of the day, but here's a rough draft.

Again..it's all Garage Band, so only the built in mic...sorry!  I also wish I sounded more like Gwen Stefani...le sigh

also..really sorry I put autoplay=false...but it seems to be having a bad day...

Yeah....that's dumb...here's a link

So you're back With a smile upon your face You're still searching For the spoils from the race And you're looking Half-way decent now-a-days It's a shame I only knew your darker phase There's a smile On the corners of your lips And you think You'll charm my hands right off my hips So come in And we can open up some wine And let's talk About the passages of time And oh là là Let's go sit 'round the table And I'll try not to say That I just don't think you're able To love and be loved And to drink from the chalice Without choking on the lye Without shifting the balast

You should know From the fire in my eyes That's it's over No use waiting til sunrise It was good But every good thing has it's end Drain your glass And I'll toast to you my friend And oh là là Let's go sit 'round the table And I'll try not to say That I just don't think you're able To love and be loved And to drink from the chalice Without choking on the lye Without shifting the balast And oh là là Let's go sit 'round the table And I'll try not to say That I just don't think you're able To love and be loved And to drink from the chalice Without choking on the lye Without shifting the balast

Stardust

Since I'm home I had a piano and wrote a new song. I didn't have my good microphones so I did it all in Garage Band.  Sorry!

Look as the city lights fade away and leave black space I wished on an airplane as it hurried to some place And I wonder where these dreams go when we're dead and when we're gone? Winners and losers we'll all be singing the same song. She's waiting on inspiration. She's waiting on faith. She wants to close her eyes and be blown into outer space. Shimmering softly she can light up the human race. Turn into stardust in her place of eternal grace.

Look as the city lights fade away and leave black space I wished on an airplane as it hurried to some place And where do these dreams go when we're dead and when we're gone? Winners and losers we'll all be singing the same song.

Monday ughhh

Nothing like trying to make up for the end of term craziness by wearing happy clothes...

Solo!

So this is a video from the Chorallaries' Spring Concert 2009! It was my first real solo - I didn't quite nail it, but I did okay =).  I also arranged the song. =)

Friday

Viva le weekend (and the sunshine)!!!

DIY Necklace

I've been looking for the perfect necklace for a few months now with little success.  This isn't it, but at least it didn't cost me anything.  Not to be too cheesy...but I like how the pieces sorta correspond to some of the main parts of my life. 

Thursday

Guess what?! I got a job for the summer! Now I can make some money and buy a real camera...maybe a tripod too.

(oh...and I've already started the shoe wish list...)
