Lyrics

Let's Drink About It"
(1st verse not in vid)

Wake up sleepy, woke up late
Another crazy, subtle night
The family couldn't talk about it
...
Oh sure I feel fine
But I'm alone
I'm in the first grade
Daddy stayed home

Oh let's drink about it
We drink about it, yeah

Summertime, river time!
School's out, sneak out
Teenage rope swing time

Shark motion
I gotta keep
Cause when I break
I break deep

And let's drink about it
We drink about it, yeah

Somebody
Anybody, help me

I kept life on different stages
No harpoon
Only those deep, meaningful dreams

That shattered
Like unkept waters
The hateful and shameful
Might-have-beens

Be My Love

I watched you
You were standing by me
Playing like a thief
...Riding out from Albert Lea

And the stuff
That you were saying out loud
Won't you keep
Playing out loud

Stand
Push above
Be my love

(Tag)
When I hear you bend
Stir suddenly
Lay me on the wind gently

I watched you
You were breaking your own bread
For a piece of mind
For your own head

Then our eyes met
And I knew
The kind of life
That I wanted for you

I watched you
You were standing by me
Playing like a thief
Riding, riding

Then our eyes met
And I knew
The kind of life
That I want to give to you

Stand
Push above
Be my love

(Tag)
While I hear you bend
Stir suddenly
Lay me on the wind gently

And Again...

(Yes, I am still drumming lol)



"Darkness Coming On"

I've been waiting for the sun
I've been waiting for night to end
I'm thinking of everything
...To find you here again

I've been crying
I've been waiting here for you
I'm feeling so desperate at home

Feeling you gone, Darkness coming on
Darkness coming on

I've been fooling myself too long
I'm just an empty woman
I can't seem to hold the light

Feeling you gone, darkness coming on
Darkness coming on

Realscotch, don't mean to make you uncomfortable, but seeing that from you...I popped an O'douhls and find myself totally inspired to get out the axe right now and practice.

Happy New Year, Gang!

Not a video (of drumming) -- not yet.

I am having an amazing drumming time! I hope the same for all of you.

The drumming blog update talks about some of what's to come :) Singing Drummer as a Singer-Songwriter

Did this (first ever) video a couple days ago. Atrocious sound. I like it for showing the first few minutes of a practice session.

I'm doing stuff I've worked out or found out while diddling around. Paradiddles in the first part of the vid on snare, and also on the hi/hat and tom rim:

The rest of it is like 95% double strokes (the beat I'm doing) :) (turn sound down!)

Well, you just scared the hell out of me.

The new rule is that you can only play guitar and sing. ;)

LOL!

eta - the vid is only 18 minutes long but youtube rejected so the powers that be tried to cut it to ten minutes (but it only accepted 3). I hope to get the other 15 minutes up.

The most satisfying thing I've ever done! Hopefully there's some good footage. As it's an "all for love" volunteer situation, the edits probably won't be done til Spring.
