CHANGE IS GOOD Everything can change, and maybe that's good? Take a look at yourself, do you understand? Here is the place that you are Own, you own yourself Home a place that you go to(0) teach all that you know Everything change and maybe it should, I used to want to hold on to the things that I understood Hear a place that you are Own, Own yourself own yourself Home the place that you go to teach, all that you know, whoo! I used to hold onto my old self too hard It was only today that I changed my mind I want to hear what you have to say I want to own, own myself Home a place that I feel like Teach all that I know Ask me Love I breathe Hear me

LONELY PLANET II Some say it's lonely planetSome say the fish have had itSome say the earth's core is as hot as lavaEarth cooled it down and made some landMost of the land is cover by waterSome say they might be here foreverAre we the only planet in space that has life on it?Some say we came from waterWe got on out and made this human raceWhy are these people always fighting?always fighting always fighting always fighting always fighting we sang a song about kindness we sang a song togetherWhy are people always fighting?

(ALT VERSION) (NEW NORM ORIGINAL)(1st version) Michael Hurley wrote some badass song: like when he said "everything is weird" Everything IS weird. "Turning out just the way I feared" "Door knob spinning round and round" "I don't want to live in the twilight zone" I don't want to live in the twilight zone The New Norm (x4) Smog wrote some cool ass song like 'Vessel in Vain' I'm a vessel in vain , a vessel in pain, I feel pain and " It's not gonna be a hit" The New Norm (x4) Julie Ruin wrote some cool ass song 'Love Letter' Love let her, love letter The New Norm (x4) The prettiest songs are sung by the birds, in the morning by the river. The river at night carries the light, and it's wet and cold [Blood] Oh oh oh my my children oh oh my my kids make noise when they're sleeping when they need no explanation to be h---a---ppy Sadly, the birds in morning by the river are singing the best songs [The earth pushes and accepts blood though thru vessels and veins If you've got questions we'll, question everything Wait for the answers we'll you're waiting for the ring ring ring A human being without language has something to sing- oh my Oh my children Oh my, Oh my kids- Make NOISE!]

about

Hello ,
Recorded on that 8 track. Well, actually a different one. Wow, they cost a lot now. When I was recording Outside Computer the parts of the 8 track were falling a part. Then... another one was located, and I bought it, when I got it it did not work. So I used YouTube instructional videos to open it up and ty to fix it. Anything else seemed too far away. Since then I have been recording lots of songs- mostly shit. I have a new puppy. ( I will add this into the book..)
I've been painting too. The cover art is H + W hugging Dream - I call it ' family dog'

Thanks to Jesse G and the Clash ;) !
