Today we fitted drums, vocals, and effects into our new new song What I've Done For Myself !! It sounds great. Also finished polishing up Echoes, so theres two more wicked songs in the box!!
Keen for some gigs, hopefully have one coming up at the High School Talent Quest. :D good stuff :) Oh and the holidays are coming up which means more time to write new stuff, aaand more time too sleep :D

Rumours revealed...
ok so quite a few of our fans have been itching to hear our songs...unfortunately we don't have any cd yet (STILL!) :( and we have no way of recording ourselves and posting it online (except vids except they take AGES and our internets on a go-slow!)....but anyway what we can do is post lyrics and i'm happy to announce we actually have not just one but THREE new songs!!!!!!
So here goes in chronological order:
(the second one has no title...if you can think of a great name for it we'll keep it!!!)
(anyway here goes...)
1#.
ECHOES
by Jordan
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired/ Of things not working for me/ I'm no high flyer but at least I'm trying/ And I really wish that you could see/ How much you mean to me
It echoes/ I've been here before, I know this town/ Crowded by shadows/ Can you save me before I hit the ground?/ Because I'm going down
I'm sick and tired of not being on fire/ Living life stuck in repeat/ I'm no town crier but I'm still trying to find the purpose for me/ Open my eyes so I can see
That it echoes/ I've been here before, I know this town/ Crowded by shadows/ Can you save me before I hit the ground?/ Because I'm going down
Maybe the answers found in you/ Maybe the answers found in you/ At the end of it all I know it's true/ The answers found in you

(THIS IS THE UNAMED ONE.)
by Jordan & Daniel
Your love has saved me whoa-ah-oh-oh/ Here I stand saved whoa-oh-oh/ Thankyou God
The lights go down/ All hope is fading away/ The silence speaks volumes/ I'm not here to listen, I'm not here to stay/ Will you take me away
Your love has saved me whoa-ah-oh-oh/ Here I stand saved whoa-oh-oh/ Thankyou God
Once again I've fallen/ I can't save me from myself/ Forever wishing to escape/ I'm searching for something, I'm looking for more/ Can you rescue me?
And my sins are erased/ How amazing is this grace/ I'll fall down before your face/ I'll lift my hands and sing to you
La la la la la, whoa-ah-oh-oh/ La la la la, whoa-ah-oh-oh

and finally the one we wrote today in 3 hours! it's SO AWESOME!!!

WHAT I'VE DONE FOR MYSELF
by Jordan & Nathan
These thoughts are invading my mind/ They scream: "you won't make it out alive"/ And I'm listening to their lie
Is the pain to much to bear?/ Can I take it anymore?/ I ask the question to myself/ Is life still worth living for?
Then I look at You/ I see right through/ Everything I thought I knew/ With You I'll make it/ Even when it's not going well/ No matter what I've done for myself
Right now hope eludes me tonight/ And my dreams are waving goodbye/ This final chance to fall or fly
This is a cry of desperation/ A call out to you/ Does this need an explanation/ Will I make it through?
Then I look at You/ I see right through/ Everything I thought I knew/ With You I'll make it/ Even when it's not going well/ No matter what I've done for myself
This is taking me down/ But will it take me out?

i'm so stoked! God is amazing! three songs after such a long period of uncreativeness (yup i just made that word up! :] haha). it was so awesome today to just sit down and just jam out and write. was such a blessing!
hope you enjoy the lyrics! and start thinking of names haha :)

time is the one thing i have in short supply.
alright this is going to be typed up SUPER-QUICK because i really should be getting onto learning that song on the guitar because my music teacher is really putting the pressure on me to get something recorded this term so this will be finished by 9.00 which means i have a grand total of 7 minutes to type myself silly. :)
ummmm.
life has been a wee bit hectic lately. what with les mis and school there has been absolutely no time to do pretty much anything but breath (and even thats hard sometimes!) so as a result we haven't done any practice for ages and this song we've kinda mish-mashed together STILL isn't finished even though we've been trying to write it for 3 weeks.
far out i wish i had more time. feels like i'm rushing from one thing to the next. man i'm even rushing to get this blog done :O meaning i'm only going to write down half of what i'm thinking.
today i found myself just wishing life could be simple again. back when i had time to jam without being pressured. back when i could just write songs when i felt like it, not just churn one out because we've only wrote 4 this year (shocking!). back when this just felt like it was working, not like we were clutching at straws trying to hold it all together. trying to pull it back into something resembling mayday.
and i can't say all we need is a gig.
that would be nice.
but not nesscarily the answer.
all we need is a little bit more life.
and maybe a few more seconds of the minutes of the hours of the day.
....
well it's now 9'o clock and this post doesn't make a scrap of sense.
oh well...God is bigger than all our problems and if this is His plan, then he will pull it together. no matter what they say, He is in control. and i'm only sorry i'm not brave enough to shout his name louder.
9.02
goodnight world

happenings...
This weekend has been really good!!! Busy but relaxing at the same time..
This afternoon me and Daniel got the chance to go to Fielding for a 5-hour concert in Fielding. It featured Evermore (whom I'm sure you all know of) and it was totally free!!!
So Evermore came on at around about 4 and they were amazing!!! They delivered a real sweet show in front of maybe 3000 people??? Yea it was real inspiring and they went hard as. Stoked as to see a band of that level up close. Might have some pictures up shortly ...!
