Wander.

I could stare at this for hours and be perfectly content.

I like when graphics and soft lines mix.

Open Mic. Chill Bar. 7th May '13. No Magic.

lydsqueaks — Wed, 08 May 2013 13:09:56 -0400

I had never seen that bit of Grapevine at night. There were neat little shop houses everywhere with adorable windows and fonts. The streets were lit in that soft sort of light that made even shadows seem warmer. The Chill Bar was… Well… I guess I have become somewhat more familiar with the Denton crowd. I hid by the bar with Joe. There was a thick layer of frost along the bar that crept up to the taps. This made me terribly happy for a bit.

I went up and found myself facing a somewhat sparse room made up of clumps of people engaged in drink and conversation. I wasn’t as nervous as I should have been. I was careless. I spent the whole time struggling to summon the supportive sort of sound I was so used to hearing from my little wooden Baby, while hearing my own bare voice echo storm about awkwardly into the bar. I left the stage feeling more restless than I had entered it.

Poor Joe had to endure my long rant of things I could have done better. I should have checked my sound before starting, engaged more with the crowd, played more covers… What really upset me was that I finally have a gig here in Texas. And I have let myself get rusty and disconnected from my music. I’m panicking.

Listening to her is like laying my head on a tear-soaked lullaby.

Can’t get sick of her voice and bad-assery.

There’s a drumming noise inside my head it throws me to the ground. Swear that you could hear it. It makes such an almighty sound.

Icicles, sugar, barbed wire, and glittering glass on the edge of blue satin sashes. That’s what she makes me think of.

Now that was fun.

The Garage. 18th March. Ridiculously Cold.

lydsqueaks — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 15:45:55 -0400

I got home, my heart was pounding, and my fingers had barely thawed out. I felt insanely happy. Hyper. I wanted to grab my guitar, write a millions songs, and sing them all as I ran down the street.

It hadn’t been a crowd of thousands. It hadn’t been a stage with a name synonymous with legendary bands and bits of musical history. But it was fun, and it frees me. That moment on stage when I’m slamming my picks onto the strings, and howling out words written months ago, and when people respond. It is addictive.

Still a long way from making headway in this relatively new environment. But moments like these are the ones I hang onto. They are the reason I have to keep working harder. I want to make more noise. Beautiful things. Painful things. I want to make people take notice.

Yolandi has completely wrecked my sense of normalcy and aesthetics.

This confuses me greatly but I can’t stop listening to it.
