Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear

Thought I’d give my pipes a bashing

Decided to give a vocal cover a try. I’ve been taking lessons for a couple of months and making slow progress, I have no idea how to record properly nor do I have good equipment for it but I’m feeling a little more confident about it so I thought I’d share this one.

New piece from Lauren Melina at Adorned Empire yesterday. By far the best tattoo session I've sat through and I couldn't be happier with the result!

Tonight I think minor existential crisis in the car on the drive home noticing I'm four hours out of celebrating another birthday got me thinking and struggling to put my thoughts into the right words. I find it strange that my family and loved ones are about to give me gifts to celebrate the day I was brought into the world and celebrated each year after, how weird is that? My parents gave me life, raised me, continue to love and support me and yet on this day each year they spoil me. I feel like I should be giving them gifts, I feel like I should be giving my brothers gifts, all my family and friends. I feel like on my birthday I’m getting spoiled just for being alive, shouldn’t I be spoiling all my friends and loved ones in particular on this day?You know, a nice “thank you for making me who I am today” something like that? I feel like I should take this one day a year in particular to remind myself of the people in my life and how they have shaped me as a person. The people that have seen both the very best and very worst of me, my parents especially, shouldn’t this be a day where I spoil them? Though I will celebrate my birthday (big time) tomorrow I'll also keep in mind that I should celebrate my life every day but take tomorrow as well to truly reflect and be grateful for all the people who have, in any way at all, helped build me up to be the person I am now. Thanks everyone.
