the eighth

mar k writes a Song for a Girl.

i'm always on your side
i'd try for you
i'd die for you
tonight

i'll love you every day
we'll see this through
we never knew
today

and what i say is true, it took you to make me real
and this is how i swear i'll always feel
i will always be near
i swear to you...i'll stay right here

and when you're on the ground
i'll pick you up
we'll make our own luck
this year

and what i say is true, it took you to make me real
and this is how i swear i'll always feel
i will always be near
i swear to you...i'll stay right here

[Tim solo]

i'm always on your side
i'll try for you
i'll die for you
tonight

it's actually coming together pretty well. i need a bridge and the chorus needs some work, but if i was the average consumer, i'd love to hear a song like this on the radio. modest, i know.

the fifth

good news for good weather.

i was coming home on the train a few days ago and i started talking to this african american gentleman. eventually we started talking about how i'm a journalism major, which sparked the conversation of how we're both writers. then he asked if i'm in a band, when i told him yes and played him Lights, he was very impressed. he then gave me his e-mail address and told me when we had more songs complete he could talk to some people he knows who are on an indie label to get us signed (he works at a hip hop label).

i haven't really written much since my last time i posted. i've been busy not sleeping, so i'm sorry about that. hopefully i can get some songs done soon.

it's nice to be home for a weekend and not have to worry about where the next party is going to be. friday night i went to Jon's house and we played NFL Blitz 2000, swapped some music and listened to some old vinyl. this, my friends, is much better than getting wasted in some random ass apartment and walking around in -10 degree weather downtown.

yesterday i hung out with Timmyjames, Neal and Pat. we got lunch and Johnnie's Beef and it was delicious. later that night me and Timmyjames went to see Cursive at Schuba's. it was a mindblowing show. i haven't seen anyone play with that much raw emotion (and alcohol) in some time. today i'm hanging out with Kamila and Timmyjames and having dinner with Friz.

then i go back to school.
