about my music
< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
my flavor of the month:
Check out this band eXit Clov... trippy ass music done by badass musicians, and a pair of twins that sing like angels, or sirens, or both.

Pearl Jam, RHCP, Beastie Boys, Jason Mraz, Dave, eXIT cLOV, Sublime, Flogging Molly, Carcassi, Eminem ~ ?

To call my music tastes eclectic would be an understatement. I have an open mind about music and I love to find new things, though I never really forget music I like.

I dabble in writing music too, check out a sample below, angel. 
while i see you stading there
i wonder why i'm sitting here
i wonder why i'm not standing by your side
all my dreams are on one moment
the moment that you're in my arms
i'll be with you 'till the end of time
you've got this power over me
so strong that I can't see that
you're just staring right back at me
you've got this power over me
so strong that i just can't see
can't see nothing but you and me

i wanna hold your hand in my hand
i wanna say that i am your man
i'll be with you 'till the sun don't shine
i'll travel over air sea and land
i'm gonna do whatever i can
some day i'll make you mine
i know i can

now you're lookin over here
all i feel inside is fear
fear that you won't even notice me
and then i look inside your eyes
my feelings that i just can't hide
show right through and i just
know it's right
i wanna hold your hand in my hand
i wanna say that i am your man
i'll be with you 'till the sun don't shine
i'll travel over air sea and land
i'm gonna do whatever i can
some day i'll make you mine
i know i can

now i see you standing here
i wonder how i'm standin there
standing by an angel filled with pride
i can't help but stare with glee
until i find your eyes and see that
you're just staring right back at me

i wanna hold your hand in my hand
i wanna say that i am your man
i'll be with you 'till the sun don't shine
i'll travel over air sea and land
i'm gonna do whatever i can
some day i'll make you mine
i know i can

and i will...

great lyrics from great songs
Love is Real ~ Jason Mraz

love is real it is not just in novels or the movies
it is fact and it is standing here right in front of you
so if you just open your eyes oh what a sweet discovery
there is hope and there is joy, and there is acceptance

so now let all the light that collects on your plants keep you warm, make you smile
and i will be there with this pen in my hand
to record all the while
you'll be laughing so loud
that the house will shake with sound
and everything will be as new as the day it was found

oh, love is real it is not
just in long distance commericials
or something that you thought you felt
back in high school
so i will turn black and white
become that horoscope you're reading
it predicts that something good is on its way

and i'll send you all the world green and blue
in a box through the mail
you can open it it up, hold it right in your hand
and be glad that it's there
and be glad that you're there

now you can feel all the knots in your stomach
they start to untie
and suddenly it's not so hard to say you're alright

oh, love is real it is not just in poetry and stories
it is truth and it will follow you
everywhere you go form now on
so if you cast off all of your doubts
then your lips will answer for you
oh, my darling when you smile it is like a song

i can hear it now
i can hear it now...
jason mraz is a simple and beautiful lyricist, who doesn't screw around with his guitar, he just makes music.
this song says something so simple, that it's self-explanatory.  yet it's so important that we all need to hear it.  yes it's idealistic, but "it's real."
