New Random Lyrical Dribblings and Things

Well It has been a while since I have actually posted anything on this new blog of mine. Unfortunately music is very quiet at the moment. I have baaaaad RSI in my left arm and have to rest that arm for a while, it would seem I even have to rebuild the muscles. So it looks like I will be out of action a while on the music front, which is a shame as I have a few ideas. I am trying to start using keyboards but it just doesn't sound right to me. I have been playing guitar 20 years and it's the instrument I write songs with so it's quite a bummer.

It could be worse, but I have other creative outlets at the moment luckily. I may try to post some half finished recordings, I can still sing and play keyboards/glockenspiel/slide guitar! Here be some snippets of stuff from my lyrics book...

They laugh at you but I’m enthralled by you

So hypnotised by beauty

This is my moment of triumph or my belly flop???

They sit and stare unfascinated by you

But I’m hypnotised by beauty

We are lost now and you never want to come back

I see you over there

Waiting for the answers I can’t give you

This is my despair

You’re everything I let down…

You’re everything I should let go…

Oh how confusion reigns inside my mind...

'Once you've hit rock bottom, the only way is up!!!'

Monday mornings do not care.

When did you fall out of love with me

Or were you in it just a fallacy?

pressing the reset button - a clean slate is needed

I know a girl she won't see eye to eye with me

She ties up my words in knots and makes me hard to see

She’s lost to me and does not wish to be found

I never meant to lose her but how am I losing when we have already lost???

She's lost to me and doesn't want to ever come back

I never meant to lose her but how am i losing when we are already lost ?

Through stars we float in a space so close

So hypnotised by beauty

London is cold for me and you

This is the death of you and me

So hypnotised by beauty

The beauty that you possess is UNDENIABLE

The clock radio alarm awakens me... Back to the land of the living... My sleep walking commute...

DISTANT – DISTANCE

I would take you for all that you are warts in all and for when we fall

'What does the past matter when we could have a glorious future together?'

Electrum

If only i could find the right words

Waiting for your eyes to surrender

I am not a turncoat

But every thing i feel is unreal is unreal

You will take the blue pill and i will take the red pill

And we will wake up worlds apart we are worlds apart

I've said too much it doesn't add up anymore

Sing to me, a lullaby to ease the pain

Believe in me or I may disappear from view

Inside and beside their lies I would be

Sing to me

I think dickhead things when i am drunk

remember if i act like a dickhead it's only because i am crazy about you

Tired... Jaded... Where is my way out?

Till that moment you can't resist me no more I await

My broken heart rules over my head

She speaks to me in post it notes

You'd walk on broken glass for love but you won't walk towards me

Only my heart beats for my misery

I’m paying for the mistakes I swear I did not do

London smiles in the sun

And the moon smiles westernised and standardised

You are my ghost of Christmas diwali past

I am lost in neon light

This is the death of me and you

I meant EVERYTHING that fell out my mouth

I didn’t mean for it to happen but it did

Oh but I tried for us to be as friend, to be again

But I have lost you now and you don’t want to be found

London is cold for me and you, this is the death of you and me…

A snowflake lost in the dark

A tear that has been cried

The last ember of the spark

We walk tightrope lines between your heart and mine

So hypnotised by beauty

Does my charm exceed my insecurity???

I don’t expect much but whatever it is it seems too much

I am something but am I enough?

Let me in, let me in, and I’ll be all that you need

What am I chopped liver???

Waiting for the moment you will see as i do

She speaks to me in postit notes

I want to take away your pain and make it mine

You will never cry

Creative Writing Classes

Hey everyone, my creative writing class teacher is looking for new students.

It's on Thursdays at St Francis Xavier 6th Form College near Clapham South Tube Station.

I did the whole course over a year and highly recommend it, I still make the effort travelling over to Clapham to attend the advanced class even though I have moved back to East London/Essex!!! It's excellent value for money too. Check it out: http://broadoak.sfx.ac.uk/

Adverts

Well I haven't updated my old blog http://www.myspace.com/rabisyed/blog in a while, and now that myspace's future is still uncertain I thought it best to revive my blog on another platform. So here I am on blogspot able to once again write agonising tales about my existence. Oh wait I'm meant to actually try to attract a following... Better write about interesting things!

RADIATION MOVES IN CONCENTRIC SPHERES.

I am a real sucker for songs off adverts, and clever advertising bods have realised the value of placing a decent song in an advert. And quite often they can be actually be good. An artist I am quite into is Feist, and I discovered her because of an Apple Ipod advert from 2007.

Current Adverts

DKNY

One song doing the rounds on my spotify is the song from the DKNY advert. The advert hasn't made me want the perfume, strangely it makes me crave green apples! And the song is really cool. An artist called Madi Diaz the song is called 'Does it Rain Where You Are'. It was one of the songs accompanying my Christmas Lunch preparations.

Microsoft Windows 8

An advert that is annoyingly catchy with clips of the button cute singer. Spotify link. 'Every Thing At Once' by Lenka. No official video exists.

Gucci Guilty

Now for this campaign they choose a Depeche Mode track for it and had two different artists cover it. It's amazing really how different the two versions are. Bat For Lashes and Friendly Fires covering Depeche Mode's 'Strange Love'. Both quite different takes, I am more of a Bat for Lashes fan but I have to admit to liking the Friendly Fires version more.
