Lyrics!
ok i've decided i ought to blog more instead of constant facebook facebook facebook so i've decided i'll put the words up for MAYDAY's brand new song!
this song is a little complicated. basically i wrote it about two years ago, when someone i knew very well was going through this massive personal struggle in a relationship. this is just my thoughts looking on from the outside. some people might think of it as a "break-up" song, but i prefer not to put it that way seeing as i've never been unfortunate enough to be in one of those situations. instead, it is yet another example of how God uses your circumstances to draw you closer to him. He is strongest when we are weak.
if you're going through this situation right now, i want you to know that whatever happens, you are not alone. your world may be falling to pieces around you, but there is a light at the end of every tunnel, you have to face the clouds to find the silver lining, and there IS hope at the end of it all.
DISAPPEARANCE (With or Without You)
Don't run, don't hide/ Won't you stop for a moment and see that I tried/ And I'll confess that I'm a mess/ but that's about to change/ Just take the best, and leave me the rest/ I won't make the same mistake
I've tried to bring you round/ But you just don't seem to hear/ So don't you make a sound/ Because I'm going to disappear
And I've made my disappearance/ But I know that this is true/ This time I'm moving forwards/ With or without you
I'll run, I'll hide/ I won't stop now I'm sick of all the lies/ And I'll confess it took some time/ For me to come around/ But this time, I've made up my mind/ I'll start all over cos it's over now.
There is hope when you've hit rock bottom/ There is hope when the light's forgotten/ There is hope in the blackest hole/ There'll be hope at the end of it all
And it's too late to go back/ But I know that this is true/ This time I'm moving forwards/ With or without you/ With or without you/ With or without you

Blog Fail
OK I was going to do a massive huge catchup blog but Nate want's me to go and chord some songs with him. So, this will have to be short.
Firstly I've actually got amped up on the idea of playing our first show this year save Parachute, so I actually emailed a church in Palmy about it. Hopefully they get back to me soon, cos it would be awesome to go over there and rock it out for Jesus!
Secondly, our fundraising attempts have hit a no-go at the moment. It's veeeeery slow. :( oh well, the only thing really left to do is to pray that if God's behind this, he will provide. We could always go somewhere else beside the Stomach!!!
Thirdly my new song is actually really really awesome! Haven't had time to figure it out with the rest of the band, but I've played it to them a few times, and they reckon it's sweet. Will post up some lyrics eventually. (Hope you're getting excited about this Beka!!!)
Today was a pretty mean day actually. We played some mean bowling games with LMP cans on the side of the road which was sweet. Also me and the boys had an epic apple fight at Monkton's Reserve. Man I'm amazed I don't have any bruises!
Anyway, better go now!

Today
...was mostly pretty good. We had a mean practice - it's starting to sound really tight! Now we just need a stage to play from....
I also showed Dan my mean new song I'd written. Ok, not technacally written seeing as it's been in the "UNWROTE SONGS BOX" (if such a thing exists!!!) for AGES!!! But I think now it's time for it to be sung.
Anyway have to go now. Hope all your days are going as sweet as mine. one day i might actually be able to post more than a couple of lines!!!!
keep reading!

No Facebook!
today i resolved to prove to myself that i'm not an addict, so I restricted myself from Facebook. and I haven't been on it one bit. Right now i'm feeling the urge though, so i thought i'd blog instead. bloggings so much cooler anyway.
sooooo.
we're getting on our way with the funds. still, if you wanna help out you could always buy a bookmark: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=288793261
lately I've been getting into this tv series we used to watch on the box when i was about 7.
it was the best cartoon ever! really enjoyed it, and i looked it up and found pretty much the whole thing on youtube. so now i get to re-watch it! awesome!
anyway better go now.
goodnight world!

Hey Everyone!
Wassup?
Just a quick Mother's Day greeting from Mayday.
Hope all your Mum's are getting spoilt. :D
Things have been a little slow here lately, but apart from that everythings all good. Sorry about not blogging for ages, the problem is I'm just far to addicted to Facebook. Blogs are much better! You can write a whole lot more anyway.
:)
