Notice Me

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 01:36:56 -0700

You’re not what I usually go for
But for some reason I wanted more
I just don’t understand it
No not even a little bit
But when I saw you that night
It was an amazing sight
I had no idea what to say
Hopefully it turns out okay

I bought those silly clothes
Wore that smell cologne
And shaved my dirty face
All for you
I bought those silly clothes
Wore that smell cologne
And shaved my dirty face
All for you
To notice me

Whenever I try and talk to her
I get so nervous and shy
She is something special
That no one can deny

I bought those silly clothes
Wore that smell cologne
And shaved my dirty face
All for you

I think tonight is the night
She is going to notice me

I am wearing those silly clothes
Put on that smelly cologne
I shaved my dirty face tonight
All for you
I’m wearing those silly clothes
Put on that smelly cologne
I shaved my dirty face
And finally tonight
You noticed me

Boys Don't Cry

Fri, 22 Apr 2011 15:54:00 -0700

Last night we played at Bethany University. We decided we would do a few covers for fun tonight. It was our last show for the semester, and we just added Kelley Weeks to the band this week, so we wanted to debut her before school got out. After hours of deliberation actually like 2 minutes, we decided to play Friday by Rebecca Black, and a Cure song. We couldn’t determine which one though. Jeremy and I wanted Boys Don’t Cry because it’s our favorite, so we went with that one. I wouldn’t know how Ironic my decision was until a few hours later. Our sound check didn’t go as great as I would have hoped, but as they say the show must go on, and trust me it did. There were about 200 at the show, and we wanted to do Boys Don’t Cry first. Halfway through the song my computer fell off the music stand and almost broke. Unfortunately I didn’t know the words by heart so that is why I needed the computer. So while everyone played I made up some words while I picked up the computer and got the words back up. The crowd clapped and cheered, but man was it embarrassing. Then we finished our set with Friday a fan favorite at BU. But once again I forgot the words in the chorus. I focused so much on the verses that I forgot a few lines in the Chorus. They cheered and seemed to have enjoyed themselves. But I had just felt that I didn’t do my best, and let the band down. It was ironic because just like the song, I tried to laugh about it cover it all up with lies. I tried to laugh about it hiding the tears in my eyes, cause boys don’t cry.

A Unique Show

Mon, 07 Mar 2011 13:53:03 -0800

This past saturday I was in Arizona for spring break and while I was there I went to a local coffee shop with a friend of mine. It just happened to be that a band was playing there that night, and the owner of the coffee shop asked if I would like to open for them. I said sure why not, what is the worst that could go wrong. So I played a few songs, and the crowd of 30 plus people seemed to enjoy it (well sort of). If I would have known who I was opening for I probably would have declined the offer. I opened for a band called The Ancient Whalers. They are a western-shanty, punk rock band. And that is what the people were waiting for. Not a kid from Santa Cruz, California playing indie acoustic music. The Ancient Whalers were great though. I really enjoyed their music and their style. The lead singer rolled his own cigarettes, and played half the show with a child’s vocal transformer. The lead guitar player looked like Jack Black with blonde hair, and had a huge Crocodile Dundee knife on his hip. The back up guitar/ accordion player looked exactly like Johnny Cash. The bass player had huge combat boots, and could not weigh more then a 120 pounds at 6 feet tall, and the M. Night Shyamalan twist was the bongo player was wearing a polo with a sweater vest, and slippers. It was the most unique show I have ever played that is for sure.

The Background on How Big Ocean

Sat, 11 Dec 2010 23:28:00 -0800

My dad gave me his guitar last year and during Christmas Break that year I learned how to play some very basic chords. I wrote a simple chord progression and after 3 months of playing that over and over again I decided to write some lyrics for it. I had no idea what to write about so I went to a local beach in Santa Cruz and tried writing. All I could think of was the tide and how no matter what it would always crash upon the shore over and over again. This reminded me of God’s love and how it never ends. So I decided to write my song on how great God’s love is for us. The finish product is of course a love song. I sing it for God right now, but someday I could sing it to my future wife, or son, or daughter and tell them how much I love them too. Overall How Big Ocean is just a very basic love song, that means very much to me and no matter what God loves each and every one of us every single day, minute, and second of our lives.

My heart

Sat, 04 Dec 2010 21:31:00 -0800

I just wanted to share a little bit of my heart with you guys. The reason i started this band was because i was bored and i wanted something to do. My dad gave me a guitar for Christmas last year and it took me about 3 months to learn the basic chords. After that i wrote a song and for some reason people liked it and so i continued to write music. I never thought i would be in a band, but here i am writing to you (in a band). Well now this band is not just to have fun anymore it is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. And that is the most fun i can possibly have. Well from time to time i will be writing on here to share my heart and just whatever is on my mind. Thanks for reading.

God Bless

You Are the One

Sat, 04 Dec 2010 21:19:00 -0800

That tiny grey dress is the first thing that comes to me

But close behind that I can see everything

Those tiny red flowers imprinted on your dress

It stops me and I think, why am I so blessed?

You are the one for me

The only question is when will it come to be

Love Keeps No Record of Wrong

Sat, 04 Dec 2010 21:17:03 -0800

This song is for you

For all the things

I wanted to say

But should not

Wanted to do

But could not

What I wanted

But you did not

I gave you my all

My everything but,

I was just an option

Not a priority

Is it better for you to

Fall in Love and

Lose your heart

Or just give up and

Not even start

If there is nothing wrong with me

Please tell me why

There is something wrong with us

I thought you were pleased

So my attention

You began to seize

I gave you my all

My everything but,

I was just an option

Not a priority

Is it better for you to

Fall in Love and

Lose your heart

Or just give up and

Not even start

Even though I gave you my heart

And somehow you lost it

This is not the end

I am still your friend

Because like the good book says,

“Love keeps no record of wrong”

The Boy and His Puppet

Sat, 04 Dec 2010 21:16:02 -0800

Im like a wodden puppet,

And you control the strings

Happy or Sad you,

Dictate the feelings

When did I lose control

When did I give you my soul

The answer to this question

Is what im looking for

You make me feel

Down, down, up, up,

Up, down

That’s right

Down, down, up, up

Up, down

I want to be a real boy,

But until I cut these strings

I will always be your toy

Maybe I need some help

So I look to my friend

Sitting on my shoulder

And shows me the way

You cant bring me

Down, down, up, up,

Up, down

You cant!!!

Down, down, up, up

Up, down

You cant

No, no you cant

You cant

No, no you cant

How Big Ocean

Sat, 04 Dec 2010 21:14:30 -0800

The size of the ocean

Does not even compare

To how much love

I have for you

Our love is like the waves

Crashing upon the shore (Never ending)

Our love is never ending,

Never failing,

Never wrong,

When you look at the trees

You see their strapping roots

How stronger is our love

It will not be uprooted

Even in the toughest storm

Tsunami and tornado alike (Never failing)

Our love is never ending,

Never failing,

Never wrong,

The pure driven snow

Placed upon the mountain top

Is nowhere near how

Uncorrupted our love is

For the reason that it was

Purchased with perfect blood (Never wrong)

Our love is never ending,

Never failing,

Never wrong,

And now these three remain

Faith, hope, and love.

But the greatest of these is love

Our love is never ending,

Never failing,

Never wrong,

Dear Miss Lyn

Sat, 04 Dec 2010 21:10:45 -0800

So many thoughts came to me

Upon that very first glance

Wondering how old she could be

And would she give me a chance

I must have looked like a big ole goof

Always going and getting pie

But it wasn’t for my sweet tooth

I just wanted to say hi

Dear Miss Lyn,

Can’t wait to see you again

It might be a year, but ill be back

Don’t you fear

We meet each other without a care

Vanishing to the mall or square

But the most important night

Was the shortest one it seemed

Playing with the yellow ball on the tethered string

Praying this was more then just a summer fling

And thank God it was more

Then anything I could’ve asked for

Dear Miss Lyn,

I’m writing to you once again

To say that this is not the end

But merely the start, lets begin!

No one said that this would be easy

Actually on the contrary

But I am ready to give it my all

Not care how many times I fall

I will keep going and going

And will wait showing, showing

In everything that I do

I will always care for you

Dear Miss Lyn,

This is a promise I intend to make

That I will stick around

And not be like just another flake

Keep this song as a token

Of the words that I’ve spoken

And will never ever be broken
