I finally got it!

So excited about this cd!























It's quite a lot different from what I'd expected.....not saying I don't like it, cos I do! It's awesome! It just doesn't sound like Relient K usually do. It's quite refreshingly out of the box. I'm just missing the eleteric guitar =(
Off to study camp 2m!
Pretty excited (even though it means having to spend more money! Gulp!) Na should be good times.

an awesome song by an awesome band..

Tick tock hear the clock countdown
Wish the minute hand could be rewound
So much to do and so much I need to say
Will tomorrow be too late
.
Feel the moment slip into the past
Like sand through an hourglass
In the madness I guess I just forget
To do all the things I said
-skillet
.
love these lyrics!!!
good song too...

Direction?


Which way do I go?
Left, right, straight, or backwards?
Actually I'm pretty sure there's more than four directions.
I really need a map or something.
How do I find my way home?
Where is home anyway?
I'm not sure if I make any sense right at the moment.......
Please help.

Waiting for summer.....

Feels like I've been waiting all year.
It's time to stop waiting and wake up.
Winter is over.
And summer is here.

New Song!

Kay I wrote this song about two weeks ago and still haven't figured out if it's going to be one of Mayday's or a new one for Ground Zero! After all it really deserves 2 guitars but William's not into the singing very much- he prefers to jam (on my eleteric guitar preferably!). So I'm not sure. Either way it's a very cool song.

THE BEGINNING AND THE END

Is this the end of it all/ After coming so far/ When we're at the end of the road/ Will we know who we are?

And I hope I know/ This is the best chance I'll ever get/ And I've gotta know/ What would have happened if they hadn't met?

There's gotta be something in between/ There's gotta be something we've not seen/ Is there a chance to start again/ Between the beginning and the end

I'm looking for a second chance/ I doubt I'll find one here/ When we're at the end of the road/ Will it matter who cares

We've made it this far/ I just can't let it go/ Maybe it's more than just the end of the road/ We are so blind/ Won't you help us just see/ This isn't the end, can't we just believe?

Pretty mint, huh?

Not much...

Today we attempted to get some band practice done. Needless to say, it didn't go very well. No comment.
Me and Beka went onto a mean site last night called DAFONT. com where you could get heaps of mean fonts for free. So we're going to look at them later today when she gets back from work. It will be fun!
I've just realized something. It's getting close to Christmas. Pretty scary cos it doesn't feel like the years gone very long. But then again stuff like Parachute and camping feel like AGES ago.
Oh and it's nearing the end of October to which is pretty scary cos that's when Parachute make their decision about the Debut stage artists. As you know we have applied but I'm not sure if we're going to get in.
There I go worrying again! I'm like my dad.
I just need to let go and give it to God.
After all, he already knows.
Anyway, Christmas. One of my favourite times of year. Not only cos I get/give presents, but because of the seasonal feelings. You know, Christmas Carols, trees, the start of summer (or winter if you live in the Northern Hemisphere.)
For a couple of years I've been thinking about writing a Christmas song. Maybe I'll get around to it this year.

What's next?

It's all over!
Our last show was very rocking indeed. I must say, playing on a veranda is pretty fun. Not to mention you can do stellar jumps off it.
Oh and playing a full set is pretty exhausting. We made quite a few mistakes to- for instance dropping my accoustic guitar =( gulp! No good at all. It's pretty dented now, seeing as I dropped it on solid concrete.
It still plays though, which is a relief...
Been learning some Switchfoot on guitar too. Dare you to Move, such a darn awesome song. You gotta love it.
After all that excitement, though, we have no plans to slow down. In fact, I'm thinking of putting out an e.p, and I mean a proper e.p, not some really bad recording like our last e.p. Which by the way, was not the fault of our soundman, it was completely our own. We just were not very much in time back then. Oh, and I had a really, really bad sounding guitar. My new one sounds like a PRS compared to it! (And it looks as good too!)
Kay, so I know no one ever reads this blog anymore, judging by the fact that the last 10 posts have barely any comments on them, but still. We'd like your opinion. If we got out an e.p would you like to buy it? Or at least get your hands on it? What would you like to be on it? What would you like to not be on it? And what about the art work?
Your opinion is valued: trust me.
Keep rocking it.

show 5#

so as you should know we had a show last saturday at the garden expo. the thing was, they thought it would be raining so they didn't set up the stage.
so we set up on one of those random verandas.... haha my drums took up most of the space so dan and jords set up on the concrete below.
we played a full set of twelve songs. here's jords at the start of the show:
what a rockstar.... it was an awesome time... except when his strap fell off in I Wish You Were Here so his guitar dropped. :0 then it fell off his stand :0... here was me going hard. hairflicks all the way! i love them.

aaaand this was dan in our new song "More Than Just Dreaming" which probably went the best.
it started raining around then, too. jords and dan moved back onto the veranda with me and we did our last three songs before packing up.
so yeah we had an awesome time. kinda good they didn't set up the stage though, cause it had no roof, and it ended up raining....
the crowd came and went... we got about forty-fifty people at the start, and at the end a few other sat down to watch too.
we got good feedback, too. random people came and told us it sounded good.
it was quite fun
