i've been lyric'ing a whole lot the last couple days, mainly from my secret coffee spot in studio city. it's a quaint little get up, attracting patrons from every which way of life. i found myself last night saddled between two tables, which formed a very polarized dichotomy: one table had two girls at it, who were doing some sort of bible study, laughing a lot, and just enjoying their time there in a really respectful, kind way. the other table was inhabited by four girls who said some of the worst stuff i've ever heard people say. to give you an idea, at one point during the night, they were talking about a girl's "ugly, cracked, dry skin" and her heavy weight... and how she just made them want to punch her because of those characteristics. my heart was on the ground listening to this. yuck.
however, it was fertile ground for lyrics writing, and lyrics writing i did. and i continue to do. the last couple days, music hasn't been coming quite as it had been, but that's ok. lyrics still need to be perfected.
the cd tracklist has been revised:
1. heavy
2. my new life
3. act 1: holding on, act 2: moving on
4. what i wish i could say
5. blue + green
6. brightness
7. you will glow again!
8. tomorrow
9. open your eyelids and see for the first time!
10. goodnight
11. why can't i be like them?
this isn't the order, per se, but those are the songs making the cut right now. however, i have a need from all 2 of you out in blogland! i need a name for this disc. gimme your suggestions!
one more thing of note: i've begun a youtube channel. in the coming months i will be posting videos for your viewing pleasure! so check it out HERE!

Not having heard the songs and only seeing the titles, I'd offer Clear Eyes as a possible album title.
I know it's part of the name of your blog, but there seems to be a lot of songs on there about seeing clearly.
thanks man.
