I am finally actually going to do this...

I have changed the idea a bit. I am going to make this more of a artist in the round idea. I am going to invite artists and musicians to post Lyrics, song snippets (even crappy quality ones or three second melodies), poetry, artwork, recipes, or any other creative idea. The idea is for feedback for growing artists. This is UNBELIEVABLY revealing, but I think extremely helpful.

We are all in process, so be nice. However, if you are brave enough to post... you must realize that not all feedback is going to be good. It is for you to decipher through and use to your advantage.

Here is an example of something I am working on (I will add an audio snippet once I get some feed back):

Shown
I don't need anything
I don't want anyone
Than who you are

Light
Light from the morning star
Pointing us homeward bound, and relief from these scars

I'm warm in the rain, telling me something's not right
I've coped with the pain, but now I'm trying to feel it

But daylight will break through pillars of night
Spring will bring end to blankets of white
Do not let what's stone fade with the rain
Love will come swift to all who die for it

Hope
Hope is what driving us
Teaching us how to trust
In more than ourselves

Peace
An answer to misery
We've traded identity
And settled on use

12345
I'm counting on the rain
A chance to be born
But still focused on the shame

But daylight will break through pillars of night
Spring will bring end to blankets of white
Do not let what's stone fade with the rain
Love will come swift to all who die for it

Calling out
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be here
Call me out
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be here

Music to follow... the song is actually done, and I perform it now... I am just giving an example for you to begin picking apart...

Peace
