ZEN! inspired me with "Play Cards, Go Dancing" and also made me cry, I think only people who know my grandparents would cry tho....
the following are his lyrics.
Play Cards, Go Dancing
I've been making plans to stay
But they're never quite threatening enough
I've been making plans to stay
But they're never quite threatening enough
This is much more than just the distance across the Atlantic
You're a lifetime away
You play cards and go dancing
Every night in your dreams you say
I already miss the birthday cards
Though they never said much
They kept my memories fresh
And that was more than enough
I've been making plans to stay
But they're never quite threatening enough
I've been making plans to stay
But they're never quite threatening enough
When did time
Start moving so?
And why am I?
Going so slow
I go so slow, so slow
You tipped over
When we all stood up at once
But you never let that baby go
No you never let that baby go
You held on, you held on
While you waited for her
Never once, never once
Letting what ails you keep you from being strong
I've been making plans to stay
But they're never quite threatening enough
I've been making plans to stay
But they're never quite threatening enough
So, on an unoriginal note this inspired me to do something for the grandparents which involves Zen hopefully if he is willing. We were talking about doing a song together or something and I thought it would be really nice to recompose (sp?) Danny Boy in a slight indie/modern version. That was grandad's favorite song...and I love it...and I always said I would sing it one day to him and I never did and I would love to make that for him....I have the music somewhere for the original version, I sang it in choir once....
Yours thoughts?
I may get together with one of my friends who is a guitarist and see what him and I can put together but I would really love it to be you (zen) and me.
POO anyway, I am still pounding forward with this massage therapy and going strong. but right now just figureing out the best program and facilities...I have 2 more veiwings of schools next week.
I am also trying to audition but this voice coach who I wanted to help me is not calling me back!! and if I dont get him I dont have enough confidence in myself to get the music prepared to the standard I want in time so I may wait for the next show. But cuz this guy isnt calling me back I am going to start looking for someone else.
my grammar sucks.
Work is a poo, and sucks, and is uninspiring...but I ROCK at my job.....sometimes....or I am just funny....
hopefully with this massage therapy I will strive forward more in what I want to do.
:)
WOOT
I am going to go to yoga more then 4 times a week to get my body back on track before I start ballet again....my body is so LAME RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my shoulders and neck hold all this stress and I cant move them and it takes forever to stretch out...so I will do yoga ALOT and hopefully in JUne I will start ballet along side that.....minus the hopefully I WILL...
I miss my family so much.
HALLIE IS COMING TO HAWAII FOREVER!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYA I already saved money to visit her (it only costs $40) :P and I put a ton of my taxes refund in my savings so I am working towards visiting Japan (sorry CA, but I visited last year and I think Minoru really needs to see his family) and then in a year we will be back in CA living!!!
Ok, I am going to peace out and e-mail my friend.
Peace,
