  • In Blur – deafheaven

    “Forgive the trembling love,
    I’m weak and acting bold
    And alone”

    The rhythmic and melodic layering in this song is amazing. The atmosphere it radiates chills you.

    In blur, farther
    Glanced over stirred
    Imagined you laughing
    Muddied feet dancing
    What is this aching prism?
    This prison wincing
    Receiving sudden swaths of dogma

    Wandering over royal yonder
    Wandering over flooded ground again

    (What does daylight look like?)
    What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
    (What does daylight look like?)
    Solitude and falling into respites now

    In blur, hovered
    Accepted devotion
    Unearthed, bleeding ark of creation

    Wandering over royal yonder
    Wandering over flooded ground again

    (What does daylight look like?)
    What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
    (What does daylight look like?)
    Solitude and falling into respites now
    (What does daylight look like?)
    What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
    (What does daylight look like?)
    Solitude and falling into respites now

    Forgive the trembling love,
    I’m weak and acting bold
    And alone

  • Holy Fuck! I’m famous 😂

        I had no Idea that any of the bands i was in back in the day were even relevant, but I guess people like classical music from the mid-90’s. Although its missing i was one of the founding members of the band “Downer”, but i never played out with them.

        Emo-punk back then was a completely different animal then what it has morphed into, which is more of a semi-goth fashion ascetic, rather than a mish-mash of rock, punk, hardcore, metal, even folk influences music type it was. Emo had nothing to do with look or style, it what was what’s inside that counted. Speaking up, baring your soul regardless of reaction of the audience.  But hey! I was just a bass player.

    Don’t get me started on what is considered to be “Goth” nowadays, it’s all become a fashion lifestyle were the music it aborted from it and is mostly just a side note. It’s a fact Bela Legosi is dead and the Sisters of Mercy didn’t include Sousxie and her Banshees. 😉

    I think it was Hot Topic’s fault. Back in my day you had to go to a pet store to get a good chain collar to wear or mail order spikes for your black leather biker jacket. Damn kids! Whom are now in their 30’s. Ageing, is and always will be, the best self-own on those younger than yourself who are making fun of you for being older.

    Chaste – Tounge in Cheek

    End of Witacre was the best of the three bands I was in ~1997. Of course ego’s got in the way of the one band i was in that had the talent and drive to make it, even if a little in the alt-music sphere. Remember this is way before MySpace, the internet music revolution, etc… recordings and making it to larger audiences back in the olden days was a lot more difficult than today because everything was analog and hardcopy.

        Anyway, I stood my ground and defended my longtime band mate and friend Cory and decided that if they were going to kick him out, then I wouldn’t be part of the band either. Thus, break-up. I still stand by that decision. Loyalty, honor & character mean a lot to me. In the beginning of 1998 I moved back home to my parents house, played lots of starcraft, Diablo and went back to school concentrating on the natural sciences.
