Progress

I've lost a lot of motivation recently. I had, for the most part, stopped feeling an unwavering loneliness but subtle changes seem to have me back at it again. The introduction of new and the remaining old situations are killing me. I've almost entirely quit smoking so I'm constantly stressed, especially at my day job. New friends, the status of my closest friends, and people that won't give me time or expect it all send me to epic highs and lows. Making drastic adjustments to my personality and personableness have favourable affects that seem painful to start. Eat too much and you'll feel full but then you'll grow hungry, I suppose. An incapable, social glutton, rushing into things? Probably.

haha, I don't think this status update would have fit on twitter (lame)

Progress on my music has slowed. I find I'm writing more but editing less. Well, when I snap out of it you'll receive a bountiful rush :)

Be well.

Everything

Can be surrounded and still alone.
I want your call, can't be alone forever.
I want to search beyond. Do you leave me any choice?
If I search beyond you I lose everything.

Everything lost,
Again alone.

Why do I think about you all the time?
It's been about 2 months since we were together.
So hard just to make a call.
You make it feel so far but Toronto's just an hour from here.

Everything slipping,
Losing focus.

Help + Early Preview

I've mapped out a plan for the new CD "Blades of grass..." that will hopefully help me streamline and finish faster with the highest quality.

I've written 18 potential songs so far, and plan to write another 17 before I decide on a final track list to record. Anyone interested in hearing demos early and giving me some feedback, please message me! I can definitely use the help, and you'll get to hear unique versions of songs that no one else will get to hear. If interested, message me at graham[at]lahrymalquietus.com with an email titled "Interested."

Great, I look forward to sharing all I can with you.
