What I love about Kerry Wade.

listen and download:
Shes so Sci Fi

SHES SO SCI FI
where is she now, in time
and which dimension?
has she rejoined the Hong Kong Cavaliers
[in the future]
we know its bright, and gold
kerry has told me so
shes like a light
alone in time

shes a little sci fi dear,
its in her veins
she rides with johnny on the monorail
to future earth,
to outer space

where is she now, in time
and which dimension?
has she become
a bounty hunter cold
[in the future]
+ where you are
is where you go
as banzai told her so,
out on the edge
of space and time alone

and its no surprise she gets underrated...
always somewhere else.

shes a little sci fi dear
its in her veins
she rides with johnny on the mono
fading into deep deep space,
a different place.

flora/fauna

Housekeeping. I am, as of now, going through the old songs and trying to be diligent about tightening up loose ends.. -also finishing a good number of the songs that I recorded as skeletons. This proves to be........... a lot harder than I thought it would be. Why is it so much easier to record something the day you write it?

attempt no. 1

When I started recording, way back when..
the comment I got most often was that the guitar is too loud so we cant hear the words. I managed to move out of that phase for a while but I think Im back in it again. I dunno.. when I stop paying attention, it eventually lends itself to shoegaze, and honestly I just cant get enough of that.
-not to say that Im particularly pleased with the wall of sound present in the second half of this song... I definitely envisioned it differently,
-but I could easily say the same of every song Ive ever tried recording.

note to self: how did I end up with more loose ends than when I started?

I Never Learned Piano

I have a brother named Jared, and he is a few years younger than me.
But it doesnt matter how old he is, he excels at everything he puts his hand to

When we were kids, he would try to do anything that I did, and he could always do it faster or better than I could.
Once when I was ten I started learning piano from my mom. As soon as I started, Jared decided he wanted to start, and he played much better than I did.. so I gave up and never looked back.
when I stopped, Jared never learned any more either, ha ha

and that is my sad tale about why I never learned to play the piano


this is much experimentation + time wasted at the keyboard:

Fleeting Bird

what is a fleeting bird?

I meant for this song to be something of a riddle, but I never had too many people venture guesses at what it meant... actually I dont think I had anyone venture guesses.

When I wrote this song, almost immediately there were two versions
I still dont know how that happened or which came first,
was I dreaming when I wrote this? do I have multiple personalities?
no. I just have seriously embarrassing memory problems.
------------------------------------

the version most people voted for has been deemed
Version A [-for obvious reasons.]
to me it sounds like a younger time, like you were just figuring out what fleeting bird even meant, and now you are about to go out into the world.

Version A {download me}

Version B, I much preferred..
but it didnt receive any good feedback so I took it off purevolume to save space for so many new projects.
It sounds like looking back.. like someone much closer to death, having lost a lot of opportunities already and considering the last few before the hourglass is empty, you know?

Version B {download me}

Greetings.

in the beginning the world was a . ..

alright. so its been a long time.. lots of music has been posted to purevolume and that has been really great ! but Ive decided to try a blog for music,

a. because then I actually have room to talk about the stuff Im posting and get feedback
b. because I have too much time on my hands.

essentially I am a professional time waster.
-but enough about that
music is coming, and thats all that matters.
I plan on figuring this thing out a . s . a . p . and then the magic begins.
