“It’s a long day livin’ in Reseda
There’s a freeway running...”
– “Free Fallin’” Tom Petty
One of the best verses of all time! So much with so few words… and every line turns around and punches me in the face all over again. It’s some John Steinbeck shit. AGH.

songs + songs x songs (to the songth power)
finishing up a long recording day! I’m really excited about these new songs, and taking this time to arrange them and try different parts out is really helping a lot.
I finished a new song 5 minutes ago… Been trying to learn protools as I go, which I now know is like performing surgery after being in medical school for a week. Except the only death is that of my self-confidence. But...

it's no use worrying about Time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners
the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn't need...

my favorite tumblr… poems about movies. this one is especially awesome.
poemsvsvolcano:
Anyway, it’s like I told X; it’s an elusive distinction: at some point we all suck, are all ☹, are each the shaded underbelly of populist & prima donna. At which point, honestly: from what set of values am I even typing the sentence? Oh, right: Miley’s probably a jerk. & I wish I...
