DalĂ­




like a children's book depiction of The Great Flood,

there's always more to the story.

gold clouds will usher in the glory

this time

grey skies need me no longer

I looked down and noticed three different Tree references on my bed...

There was a time when this would've put stars in my eyes.

but I don't know what to do with synchronicity anymore.

simple piano song

I Need You Now by Annalisa

so you can read the little bio on this song over on my soundcloud by clicking the link above.

I'm definitely still not done with this song, but I was so tired of not having anything new up online that I thought "what tha heck."
so there ya have it...!

so, I was full fledged working on my EP when my sound-card went out.
so, I ordered another one and just got it in.
but now I've decided that I am going to work on my Dad's EP as my #1 priority for his 60th birthday present. :)
it's something we've wanted to do for a long time.
the man has got a lot of good songs.
good, sweet, smooth, heart-felt songs.
and he means THE WORLD to me...
so I want to make this happen now & get it mastered & possibly talk my buddy that flipsthatU into making him a cool album cover. ;)
I wanna have his songs to pass to the world and pass on to my kiddos one day.
I'll be doing some harmonies with him on it!
It's going to be so special!

My personal EP is not necessarily on the back-burner right now.. just a side burner.. it's kinda on simmer.. and i promise, it smells gooood in tha house.

Dad is #1 right now.
peace!

well hello old friend...
i've missed blogging on this!

when i was a little Anu, saying "shut up" was an ugly word.
one of my earlier memories is when i was 4 years old.
me and my lil 3 year old brother were playing in the backyard at
our house in Holly Springs, AR.
we started fussing about something & i was driven to my limit (apparently) because i yelled "Shut up Jonathan!"
it was one of those moments where we both sort of froze and our mouths dropped open.
gasp.
then it was on.
"OOOoooo i'm telling mama!!"
and i remember both of us running towards the house and me telling him that he didn't have to tell mom because i was going to wash my own mouth out with soap!
i remember making a mad dash towards the bathroom where i then cleaned my tongue somethin' good on a bar of soap.

but...the little squirt still told my mom. ;)

i have this foggy picture of her at the bathroom door (not mad) and me saying "it's ok Mom, i've already cleaned my mouth out with soap."

makes me wonder if i still do these kind of things on an adult level....
