Cause I had a brainstorm, and needed a place to put it...
Here's a deep question for you; What defines good music? does it have to be the lastest rap that T.I. or Lil' Wanye conjured up? Some soft folk song with sweet lyrics and meaning full guitar? Some hardcore screams and rockin' synth? What is music? Where does it come from? Who is there to judge, say that one thing is better than the other? I believe music is a form of expression. Expression, is the creativity that flows in each and everyone. Some have tapped into that better than others, some are working there way to fully grab that concept. My music is no different. It comes directly from the heart. Everything I write, I deal with daily or have dealt with at a specific point in my life. My guitar can be both gentle and rock. I'd define myself as indie, rock, folk, pop, but who is there to really judge what exactly I am? I am something completely different. I don't try to be the next [Insert act of choice]. I pride myself in being MYSELF. I am real. I am new. I am something you've never heard before. And I'm grateful for this.
All I'm saying is do you, do you wanna risk it all?
February is almost complete, but I'm in my craziest week so far this year.
Noteworthy things that happened this month.
Feb 1st - Wrote "What We Are"

This was Dream In Stereo's release party. Was wayyyyyy to tired to stay for Dream In Stereo. hahah. One of the members of their band kept trying to talk to me and Jackie. It was awkward.

your last to come, your first to go...
It's February. Already. Dang, time reallyyyyy flies.
Basically, starting like, January 26th, I started writing, everyday.
A poem, a song, whatever I felt to do at that moment.
It's been a really creative journey that I love, because Feb 1 and 2 I wrote a new song both days,
which gives me more songs to add the the EP and the set list. ;D
I've also, been posting everyday, on this other site, Live Journal. I sorta enjoy it more :p
It's just, simple. ha. I don't know how much more I'll update this blog, but if you wanna keep in touch, please please, either request my myspace, www.myspace.com/laurajeanonline or www.mypspace.com/youramillionxmilesx2close.
and if you wanna see some of my lyrics, feel free to check them out at http://xxlauraxponedxx.livejournal.com I love feedbackk!
thanks for everything. (:
I've been working really hard on everything musically lately, I'm going to a new studio on monday to finish up my EP hopefully for its release at the end of this month! My music myspace has two songs up currently, both rough/raw demos. And I had a photoshoot at the end of this month. I went through a week of insane depression the last week of january. I got out of that hole. I've been really feeling a lot lately. really having a lot of emotions, both good and bad.
What defines an emotion to be bad though? while in my depression state, was when i started the writing, they're pretty deep, but they're good too. hmmm. I like to think about things a lot lately. I just will go on and on about everything and anything. ha, sorry, I also ramble a ton. ;D peace.
