“Ok, what the hell?” Has become: “What. The. Hell?” What I’m talking about, of course, is the honeymoon phase of me living in France. [Disclaimer: I’ve met wonderful people here, some of whom will undoubtably be life long friends.] I am worried about my mental enthusiastic motivational…
A dear friend’s inner workings. So very relatable and hilarious!

When I see you smile
When I see you smile It feels like I’m falling It’s not for anybody else to know The way your face could light the bitter dark of every street In every town I’ll ever go It’s not for anybody else to know For anybody else to know When I see you smile First thing in the morning It raises curtains on your lazy eyes Could it be that you and I have the greatest love to ever be...

Hearing my neighbours practicing piano. For a moment I was transported back to when I used to sit down and do some serious practicing.
Where have those times gone?! (Out the pop music window probs!)
Lacking motivation. Went for a run today though so that’s a good start?
Actually, a good start would be to go to Uni and find a way into the building to get my keyboards back…

WatchSo my guitar student, Sam Jung, wrote this song.
He had lyrics but no melody so I decided to freestyle what he had. So many “babies”!
It’s a long song but if you have a spare 4 minutes…..
What a trooper!

A minor bird
traxparis:
I have wished a bird would fly away And not sing by my house all day;
Have clapped my hands at him from the door When it seemed as if I could bear no more,
The fault must partly be in me. The bird was not to blame for his key.
And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song.
Robert Frost, 1873 - 1963

Watch“I’ve made a huge mistake…”
Earlier in the semester, I performed a miracle. I rushed a 3000 word research proposal for a psychology paper the night before it was due.
I hadn’t attended many lectures but the content was such that I could wing it. I twisted it so that I could talk about music and my whole research proposal ended up being heavily music-based. To...
