Hes knocked me off my feet......
I had THE best night ever on Saturday! In the words and piercing screams of Leila -"Eeee-eow!!"
Saturday (day) itself was awful, Id a pretty shit day in town,panicking and spontanously crying,my hormones are messed up at the moment,but whatever I tried on looked shit on me,and Id worked myself up so bad looking for the 'ideal outfit',I stopped dead in the middle of Mary street and realised that NEVER before,in my life had I been so worked up,concerned and caught up about what a boy thought about what clothes I wore. Sad,yes,I know.I bought several tickets Saturday for the capper train.I was torturing myself,'Will he like this?Yes?Noo?Karac wont like that,hmm'n and ahh'n over different skirts,jeans,tops and I was gobsmacked to realise Id been shopping for hours,and hadnt bought anything,and it made me realise that I really like Karac,hes made such an impression on Me that I spent forever finding clothes.Normally I go into the nearest cheapo shop and come out with whatever,cause,I use to like wearing slappery clothes,but I just wanted to look incredible,so when hed get off the stage and pass by all the other girls who may/may not have been gazing up at him rockin his ass off,that hed look at me and be proud I was with him.Im so sad.
However...Id an excellent night.I settled for a brown top+jeans.I was pretty pissed off,but when I got in there and hung with him for a bit it felt good,Id good energy going,and everyone seemed in good flow.Apart from unfourtunate fuck-ups with the projections didnt project! and an excellent save by Glenn when his strap broke( that was legendary) the gig was a success.Or was it?I mean, Im surprised.They try so hard,have all these great ideas,but dont follow em up properly.For example.The c.d's.This is their job,they shouldve ensured sales of the c.d's,they didnt.
But I also realised that Stoneocean,is made of the voice of Karac, the excellent drumming skills of Alan,but most importantly, the most talented of all..Glenn.The secret behind Stoneocean is, not about the girl, or so theyl have you believe other shit.Its behind the amazing preformance of Glenn,and plays the unique sound,that only Stoneocean are recognised for.Once he starts to move,everyone see's these three amazingly different personalities on stage and GLENN bringing this amazing sound,shaking his ass!!! I remember when I first saw Stoneocean play,I was nuts about Glenn.I told as many people as I could-you have to see this bassist-I had never really looked at Karac,payed much attention,it was all focused on the amazing balancing skills of Cummins,as he nosed-dives back and forth.Possibly the sweetest member of the band,and perhaps most talented,as hes more focused on perfection.Yeh,Karacs the key writer and frontman,but take Glenn away,and the sounds gone.I watched the video of Dorans with Karac this morning,and it occured to me,the reason I love the bands music.The bass is a constant flow of unique sound,vibes and as ebergetic as ther musician himself.Ha! I just wrote an ode to Glenn! ALSO, as I watched the video, I blurted out "Glenn is shit hot" and paused,and Karac kinda looked at me, but I meant to follow it up with -look at him go!hes an absolute legend! but he understood...he gets just as excited as me talking about the importance of Glenn in the band.Does Glenn realise,Karac loves his ass so much?!
I just called Karac hes at his mates wedding,sounded happy and cheery.My babe.We went to Soho after Dorans,and drank in the piano bar,and the manager Dave,coaxed me up to play and I did,and he invited us back and man.I am gonna jam that place out of it if we do return.Ill fuckin show them how kickn a piano can be.I sat down at the piano yesterday evening, apologised deeply to the precious piece of Mahogandy that had been my closest friend for 14 years,and began playing all the old tunes,warmed him up,and got he sang and sang and hes gonna get tuned up in 2weeks and Im gonna make up for my year away from the piano.Im glad I learnt guitar,and got that under my belt,but what frustrated me was that all the time I was trying to play guitar,at an advanced level like everyone else,and was stuipidly pushing and tormenting myself,when, all the time,I was already (if not further) at that advanced level on piano,I just ahdnt appreciated it yet.When I spoke to Karac on the phone just there,I thanked him again for pushing me up in the piano bar,cause hes re-kindled my love with an old flame.Man..I gotta write a song about all this!!
What a mouthful! I wrote the piano version to My heroin.Its unbelievable.I have it dainty and trickling away at the startb then I bring it all together and the most noticable bass moments. Anyway he rang me this morning early and collected me in,literally ten mins and we went and got breakfast,had a nice day together,fucked each others brains out in the kitchen( they'l never know..)and had a chilled cuddly session in the garden.Then his mam and her fella called out.and he went to the wedding (stay away mischievious bridesmaids!!) while I went to work,and began this incoherant ramble...
So in a nutshell ...........STONEOCEAN = GLENN+co.
KARAC = HAPPY/AMAZING BOY
+ STACEY = PIANO MISTRESS...ONCE MORE....
