[uh. this progression right here? yes. afraid of heights coming soon..10.31.11]

omen2020:

This is a song from Afraid of Heights called Numb that I was recorded playing on my Fender Rhodes. Living in Chicago, you always see tons of homeless people everywhere, and one day I just wondered what it would be like to write from their perspective.

misfits.

[so this is completely running my life at the moment. i was bored from studying fom my bartender placement exam thing and needed something to occupy my mind. i go to hulu, find a show that i wasn’t that interested in but the title was enough to check out the first episode. the first 30 minutes i wanted back in my life but pretty much 31 on, i was done. DONE son. i had to put the subtitles on because i couldn’t understand half of it but i’m glad i did, you have to check it out, ‘misfits’. : ]

it’s been an amazing few sets of days.

              

you always have to step out on faith. when you forget that, you could have a year like my past last. but just to have an amazing two weeks out of the last sixty is an amazing thing. today i received an album i worked on over a year ago and i’m beyond happy to have received it. some of the songs, we had to learn for a festival in nyc that i told ya’ll about forever ago, and we auditioned against the 10 other schools that came and we got a solo on every song..including the one i auditioned for. others of the songs were from our main repertoire. but the other other part is that i like to film random things. and one of those random things was the sun rising on our ride from nc to ny. this footage, originally just to go into the depths of my random footage for myself, seemed to fit a song i was heavily listening to at the time, ‘Sinnerman’ by Nina Simone. and a video was birthed. now, almost two years old, only about 10 people have seen it. and not until today did i plan to change that. it became one of those things where i wanted to show people but i didn’t feel people would be as interested as i was, as i am, in some of the most random things and how they connect. but today i realized such is the life of a creator. i have to try to do things that are intesting to others but the longer i keep my own interests away the faster it dies. so here. it. is.

the two guys who are the shadows didn’t even know i filmed them sleeping but they’re an amazing bass and guitar player..hope they didn’t mind. mmm. i’ll tell them one day.

the name of the movie is ‘tryon’ and the title’s explained at the end of the video..
