No matter what people say with how he lived his life,
Michael Jackson was (and is still) a great force in our Music history.
His tunes will forever be playing on the airwaves.
Today marks his Death Anniversary, and I just want to remember him and his music.
–A cover I made three years ago, in honour of him.
Thanks, Michael.
I am sorry.
This post is for me.
For now.
Maybe I’ll start a subscriber list.
Or the option to subscribe.
Maybe.
Thank you.
I have been a parent for 9 years now,
and I must be honest with you,
I still have no clue what I am doing.
I just wing it.
Day after day.
Some days it’s awesome.
Some days it’s … not too good.
It’s quite exhausting.
The only way I can make it through,
is the realization that it is all worth it.
So in honor of all Fathers out there,
especially my dear friends who I know are going thru the same thing day after day.
I covered this classic song by Cat Stevens.
Definitely one of my favourites.
Here’s to you, brothers.
Keep on doing what you were meant to do.

Happy Father’s Day.

What about this?
This is actually a T-shirt that was designed
by my good friend, Maita, years ago.
And I am thinking of making it this site’s logo.
Or maybe, a cover for an album.
It could happen. I may make one.
It’s possible.
I actually wore that shirt on 2 of my Youtube Videos.
On here,
And on here.
I think it’s a great design.
Well, for me anyways.
I just don’t know how to edit the header image and incorporate it.
Or design it for an album cover.
Maybe someday.
What do you guys think?
Thanks again, Maits.
You see that thing on the sidebar that says “This Time Last Year?”
I added that plug in to see how things have changed since.. well.. last year.
I don’t know. I am trying more new stuff on this site,
to see if it’ll entice me to try … well.. new stuff.
Oh and I also added a category on here named Pictures.
That’s just to quickly query all the posts that I did with.. well… pictures.
I am not doing too good with writing new posts that much anymore,
so I will see if I can re-kindle my relationship with this site
and add more..well… writings.
Anyways.
Let’s see what more stuff I can add.
You just sit there and look pretty.
I’ll do all the work.
I must admit, if there would be a cover song I made
that I liked how my guitar sounded out,
this would be the one.
Just two guitars, and done in about one take.
Even the voice I had wasn’t too shabby.
And when I said not too shabby,
I meant it didn’t take me 40 takes.
Here’s
Maybe I’m A Leo
Music by Deep Purple
Guitars and voice by yours truly.
I haven’t played and recorded in a while.
I need to make new ones
before the lack of Rock drives me insane.
I have to admit, the world is a very noisy place.
Many a times, I would go and find sanctuary
just to have a little moment of peace.
And as much as I love music,
I have to unplug myself out of it from time to time.
But there is one thing I found
where I discovered it to be most quiet.
“The most silent place you could ever find yourself into
is at that moment when you are in need.”
That moment when you know there is no one that can bail you out.
That moment of realization that you are a victim of your own doing.
I am not speaking in figures nor I am pertaining to anyone.
It’s just something I have noticed,
through all my years of adult living.
No matter how many people there are in your circle.
No matter how many connections you have in your social life.
You will realize how deafening the silence is,
once you get yourself situated in such a quandary.
So let me ask you,
What do you hear
when you are right in the middle
of your hour of need?
My point exactly.
The very first song I have learned to play completely on guitar,
and I mean, knowing the words and chords without looking at a songbook,
is “Words” by the BeeGees.
The chords are simple enough and the words are easy to remember.
Plus I got the bragging rights that I can completely play a song
and not a whole bunch of intros that I can never finish.
This post is a little tribute to the Brothers Gibb,
and to Mr. Robin Gibb, who passed away yesterday.
Thank you for the music, Sir.
Here are two BeeGees songs I have covered.
First Of May
and
I.O.I.O.
Do you ever notice sometimes
That you don’t belong anywhere?
Like everybody likes a certain thing and you just can’t get why?
On your daily drive, everyone seems to be going slow, or faster than you?
Like everyone is on to a joke and you still never heard it?
Like the whole world is giving everyone their chance,
and you are still there waiting with your hand out?
Like God has answered everybody’s prayers but yours?
And the music in your head is playing a different tune.
That’s what I feel with the world we live in.
Or “I” live in.
Because I am so sure,
I am meant to live at a different place,
in a different time,
with a different face.
It’s my point of view.
And I am not changing it.
