today's been a bit frustrating.
i've been trying to get financial aid for college for a few months now.
and they make it so hard.
they don't pick up the phone.
they turn you away.
they send you confusing letters,
unspecific letters to be exact.
you get the run around a lot.
it's pretty frustrating.
a lot of the classes i want to take
don't go together with my work schedule at all,
nor are they back to back.
you know..
one's at 8 in the morning monday
they other is at 8 o'clock at night friday.
i just can't win.
and i promised myself i'd have fun today.
but i worried about it all day.
financial aid.. pfft...
i'm persistent.
i'll get it done, but g'damn.
hurtin' a nigga.
they keep having me fax forms in after forms.
it's taking forever.
they're trying to delay it so i don't get the funding.
me, a guy who never asks for anything ever.
i can really only rely on myself now.
i guess it's been sort of a theme for the past year or so now.
leaving my old ways learning new ways.
struggling.
coping.
turning pain into hope.
ah, i didn't mean to write this much.
i was looking for letters i had written to print them and found this song that i'd made a while back.
i make so many songs that you never hear.
they liter my computer and often i'll forget about them.
but i like this one.
it's a song by the album leaf
called "always for you"
i really like them.
when i went to see sigur ros jimmy lavalle came on stage and did a number with them.
it was a cool suprise.
he's not one for lyrics, and neither am i.
more about instrumentation.
my brain doesn't compute words so much as notes and images.
although i'm very articulate,
i cannot remember words to songs for a damn.
sometimes i think i'm losing my memory.
who knows.
i hope you like it.
i love playing music.
and i don't think anyone's covered the album leaf before, so why not?
two back to back daniel cover-songs!
mr. yorke and mr. lavalle! enjoy!
