It’s a chilly night in Las Vegas and I’m snuggled under my fussy red blanket. My neighbor’s flashing Christmas lights are trying to give me a seizure.

I have some good news *rubs hands together*, the semester is over and I am done writing my new EP! However, I’m flying to England to see my girlfriend on new years, and I simply can’t imagine myself not writing a song about the whole experience. It’s a huge event. I haven’t seen her in 3 months and I’m flying across the world just to see her. IT’S A LOVE STORY BABY JUST SAY YEAHHHH. :p

Anyway, in no particular order, I’m going to describe the new songs. The song names aren’t final at all. They’ll most likely be changed.

Dandelion – Have you ever lost all hope in a person, a thing, or life in general? I have. This song is about that. It’s probably the most depressing song I’ve ever written. It took about 10 minutes to write it, 4 months to perfect it. I finally put the finishing touches on the chorus. It’s full of beautiful metaphors and not “I want to slash my wrists” or anything like that. I don’t like writing sad music, but it’s how I felt at the time and I’m not going to change my music to please everyone. I want to be real.

In My Sleep – I wrote this in my sleep. I woke up and I already knew the lyrics, melody and most of the chords. It’s about life and love. It really shows my insecure side. It’s very Death Cab/Bright Eyes/Beatles/Radiohead influenced. I want to grow as a musician so I’ve been expanding my influences. And yes, I mentioned Radiohead. You probably won’t hear it though, but I can. I’m very excited cause it still sounds like “me”, since it’s still acoustic.

Long Division – Cheesy love song about me going all the way to England to see my girlfriend. It’s quite catchy and “poppy” like my old stuff, but also different.

Untitled – Yup, I have no idea what this is about. I guess I haven’t finished writing it afterall. This has the potential to be the “single”.

Okay, I’m sure I have another song but it managed to slip my mind. I guess this is what happens when your mind is filled with thoughts of Lucky Charms, unicorns, and panda astronauts.

I should probably shut up now. You should become a fan of me on Facebook because I will be giving away my cover of “I Won’t Be Home For Christmas” only to my fans on Facebook.

Song of the day:
