So now that the good Halloween candy (The Caramilks, of course) is gone, and I have a few days where I don't have to put too much time into schoolwork, I can write this post and pretend that I care about stuff. Yay. I mean...really, is there such a thing as a blogger who is a caring person? Not if Myspace has anything to say about it.
Anyway, with the ability to have a bit of time to think about music, I eventually turned my thoughts towards myself as a musician. Of course, that didn't go too well. The one song that I actually personally wrote and produced is lost somewhere in the vast whatever that is known as cyberspace. Which means that I didn't really care enough about the song to hold onto it. In recent months, however, I've been writing lyrics a lot more. Which is basically since I graduated from High School this year until...now. I've managed to write enough lyrics to produce 7 songs or so, but..that's only lyrics. The only progress I've made on finishing the songs is figuring out a relatively general genre that the songs would fall under. Of course, that genre would be 'mopey emo pop'. I don't think that's an official genre, but I suppose you could just point at Breathe Carolina and say "Pretty much that". Which is sadly true.
On one hand, it would be relatively easy to finish the songs. Find another dude around my age who can scream and is able to play the guitar/bass/percussion. Heck, he doesn't even need to play the bass or percussion. Just as long as he knows how to play a guitar and doesn't sound horrible when screaming vocals. On the other hand, that would just be perpetuating stereotypes and other things. Seriously, who the hell wants to promote being emo? Don't answer that, by the way. Just for that smartass who thought he or she would tell me.
