(no subject)
it was friday the 13th last week but i still felt like the luckiest man in the world. i don't see myself as a superstitous person but once in a while, i do step over cracks. just in case. i have found that i am at a loss for words lately, so i'm just going to tell it like it is. it will give you all a break from my usual tune.
aside from the accident, it's been a while since i've been stationary for so long. if there is anything to know about me, it is that i am not a sessile being. i like fluidity and i like change, not to say i haven't enjoyed my time off. but the life of a musician suits me well, as long as i have the vitality to keep up with the unstability. we're heading over to europe next week to play a few festivals and although i will be sad to leave my family, i know that they will be perfectly self-sufficient. most likely, i will miss them too much and force them to visit, pending carolyn's schedule because her bar dates do run a tight schedule. i am elated to be given the opportunity to work with such established, masterful artists. it will be a first time meeting with most of the bands, but i am going to keep optimistic. headlining a tour is another world compared to being on a festival bill. so many different energies and experiences coagulating into one block. it's beautiful to think about. i do believe hoobastank will be in attendance to one of the festivals. we will sing an ode to old times.
as far as other upcoming projects are concerned, we're going to have three tracks on a soundtrack for the film stealth, which will be released mid-july. the movie comes out at the end of july, i believe. i am not at liberty to discuss what happens in the film, since we've seen bits and pieces of it in order to write the accompanying music. we have a love/hate relationship with our record label, meaning we hate them and they love that we make them money. it is a lot easier to write when you have a goal in mind, but when that vision isn't yours to begin with, the interpretation can become a bit cloudy. it was a good segue back into the realm of work and helped us feel a bit more productive. what resonates about this project is that it marks a milestone in my career: my first duet! chrissie hynde of the pretenders fame was gracious enough to partake in this musical madness and offer her voice and perspective. you'll hear the material soon enough and i do hope you like it.
