I feel compelled to write a bit right now.  I spend most of my day, nights, afternoons thinking about music.  It’s hard to explain what it’s like walking around all day every day… every moment having some sort of song playing or feeling some rhythm in your body.  I don’t know if everyone can relate!?  

I remember a good friend years ago, long before I ever wrote my first song, noticed me staring off into the distance and asked, “so there is a song in your head all the time isn’t there?”  Its that moment I realized that music is with me all the time.  I’m never alone.  

This is THE MOST amazing journey to be on. Right now, in this moment for me.  I know we have barely accomplished anything…only our second show tomorrow, but to me, it feels like such a great victory!  Years in the making.  

I’m in by far, the worst financial state i’ve ever been in.  Spending every last penny on musical related items… rehearsals… guitars… etc.  I have people upset with me for not being able to spend time with them… which does not make me happy.  I am staring into a completely incomprehensible void… which may yield absolutely nothing.  But… BUT… I stare in this thing… this future… I stare at my life and I know as sure as I open my eyes every morning that this is what I have to do.  This is what I was put on this planet to do.  I’m not saving lives… I’m not about to change the way the world looks at the USA (thanks barack :) )… but I hope that I’m bringing small moments of happiness to peoples lives. 

I know that for me, finding a song that understands me… that knows me inside out can shape my day, can shape my mood.  So I hope, that if even for a second, if I get to do that for someone else…. that’s the life I want.  

seriously yours,

justin
