You Counted All the Seconds to July the First But You Counted All the Minutes and it Made You Feel Worse

Hey blog-readers. I'm feeling rather bloggish today, so I thought I'd blog. Bloggerific, eh?

So what's new in life these days. Well, me and my mandolin have been hard at work. My last couple of songs have been pretty awesome, so I'm working on a pseudo-pop number called "Whether You Like it or Not." I'll talk more about that after. I've also been working on some new covers, and the most recent include the following artists/musicians/writers: High School Musical, Joanna Newsom, Coldplay, Laura Veirs, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Shakira...and the list goes on. I'm especially proud of the Coldplay and Mariah Carey ones. I'm a pretty cool...dork.

Anyway, here are some of the lyrics of "Whether You Like it or Not," imagine a poppy, bubbly piano accompanying the lyrics:

It's come to the point
Where everything
The taxi fare, subway token
The can of paint, the coffee cup
Are all the same
We've hit the point
Where everyone
Is changing pace, losing the race
To big machines and whirring things
They're all the same
That's how it is

Whether you like it or not
Things are on the up
No time to make the same mistakes
Getting back on a level plain
Whether you like it or not
I'm about to turn around
The way things are will change
To something you didn't see coming
Whether you like it or not
Oh oh, oh oh
Whether you like it or not

I've started to think
About all the times
We fooled around, found common ground
And broke apart, broke your heart
That can change
It's starting to get
A little cooler
In the summer, and warmer in the winter
You're the same cold
All around
That can change

Whether you like it or not
Things are on the up
No time to make the same mistakes
Getting back on a level plain
Whether you like it or not
I'm about to turn around
The way things are will change
To something you didn't see coming
Whether you like it or not
Oh oh, oh oh
Whether you like it or not

...I know it needs work, but pretty rockin huh?
Anyway, that's all that's on my mind right now. Big day tomorrow! I'll blog about it ;)

Stay frosty folks.

And yea, those are today's song lyrics :D
