alright, so it's just one but it's worth the use of three to describe the exact same feeling.
Kelvin just played for me a sample of a song over MSN Messenger he created and boy does it sound good. at least, in my opinion. he was shifting through two chords and their minors and majors but it sounded so nice. it had this angsty-exasperated tone but with hope lingering in the background and a silent tear being shed somewhere. woo, a few seconds of listening to it and the possibilities already started rolling in. Werd's on the right track. all it needs is some harmonies here and a little lead riff there, a nice beat, funkified bass bomping and voila, one of Werd's first songs.
he kind of reminded me that the basics are best. Dom and i were at Boon today to try and create some new beats to the riffs we already had. we ended up with some smooth, jazzy ones that were full of classy rhythms and funk but lacked a certain energy. Lots of the ride and snare caressing which made the room feel like a lounge.
i guess when we do something wrong, we try to find a reason as to what caused it. sometimes we blame other things and our environment. but most of the time we have to look within ourselves and ask ourselves why. we have to draw a line between reason and excuse. the two should not become confused with each other. in time excuses would be the reason why we are failing. i guess we should seriously shut out the excuses and stop listening to them ourselves and realise that we are responsible for what we do, our every action. we all have the ability to do what we want if we just put our hearts into it and not make excuses when we fail. just try again.
just do it (C).
as the great Master Yoda once said, "There is no try, only do or do not."
anyways, hopefully Werd will get material materialized soon. hopefully the gig isn't too soon. maybe we might get our material recorded and with some connections, get signed or something. okay, that's too much to think about. we just need to concentrate on getting the material done. one day at a time.
"suddenly these pictures are running through my head.."
