I'll be here...

Well it seems like the majority of the people are doing great, or at least getting better.

Isn't that just peachy.

So I'll drive so fucking far away
that I never cross your mind
and do whatever it takes in your heart
to leave me behind

So many times I've wanted to drive away to escape my past, escape this place, escape my house, get away from my parents, just to get away...take the money from the bank and drive away...if only for a few weeks, I don't care...

Music must be my escape before I find something else...

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
Don't know what it means when I say yeah

Dear God, if you're out there:

Why am I so stupid? If you could get back to me between the hours of 3:00 pm and 11:00 pm weekdays that'd be great.

Well not many people have visited our site, and only has been played THREE times, so people go to the site in my last post! Quality does suck, and the drums are indistinguishable, but aside from that, I think we sound pretty good...the whole beginning part (that repeats four times) theres some tom stuff in there, but you cant even make it out cuz the mic sucks...still, check out www.purevolume.com/portorange thanks!

And pay attention to the last part...It's the best part of the song: quick roll on snare, crash, everything stops but bass, buildup, sweetness

Idk, I like it, I think its the only part that you can appreciate for having been recorded with the mic it was...

GO THERE!!! Tell other people to go there too.

It's time I relinquish my addiction.

HOPEFULLY recording soon, complete song (and Eric if you see this remind me I wana record an 'instrumental' verson of the 'punk' song we started, and then theres another song I wana show u that Andy and I started before u got there. It's sweet.) maybe saturday or something, itl be on purevolume if we do

Well, here's the picture I took of me with straight hair

JUS SO YOU KNOW I don't want to have the curly hair, the point is to look different than I normally do...thats how I wana look

I see my heart explode
It's been eroded by the weather here
If you want me
Hold me back

I forgot how good Seether was.

I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again
I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a carousel

Here I am standing on my own
Not a motion from the telephone
I know not a reason why
Solitudes a reason to die

Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone

Now as I walk down the street
I need a job just to sleep in sheets
Buying food every once in a while
But not enough to purchase a smile

A tank of gas is a treasure to me
I know now that nothing is free
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again

Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone

Port Orange may have our own song soon, maybe tomorrow.

PORT ORANGE is officially online (yes we decided to name ourselves Port Orange, I like it).

PLEASE check us out, leme know what you think. Keep in mind these are rough recordings!!!

THANKS EVERYONE!

Well, I'm tryin to start breaking off from all the other things I do (aside from rugby) to make time to practice. First of all, Eric and I like Age of Autocracy. So I ask anyone that sees this or bothers to read it to answer this:

Chronic
or
Age Of Autocracy

Just so I have an idea. And then, what song would you most likely listen to as a punk/rock cover:

Fun, Fun, Fun, Beach boys
Sweet Caroline, Neil Diamond
Good Vibrations, Beach boys
Sex and Candy, Marcy Playground

got any other ideas (Eric or Andy especially)?

Thanks everyone

Band names (lemme know which you like):

Lithium
Night Sky
Age of Autocracy
Black and White
Max Default
Chronic Rock

Eric/Andy: do you like any of them particularly?

Eybrow ring...

a month I'll probably change it to a half-hoop if its possible...

update

So all nighter was this morning (midnight til 6:00) got in seven games...D&D has to be my favorite now...altho, space marines is sweet too. Definately buying a membership, seeing as it pays for itself and it logs EVERY GAME YOU EVER PLAY, and long as when you activate your pack, you put in your member ID. Plus you get a custom name :P Anyway, I wana get an airsoft gun now too, since Chris and his friends play all the time...I came in first so much in laser tag (on my team) I wonder how I'd do at airsoft.

So other than that, I was driving home after dropping Mitch and Terry off, and goin down 11 mile, right outside the school there was an accident. A single car accident. It was FLIPPED OVER. I dont know how you flip over a liltte car like that (similar to a uxury saturn or something) but this guy managed to do it. So that was kinda cool.

Im outta here, and I wish I was tired, cause I know I will be later...

"If you read
you'll Judge"

"And this little pit-stop
we call life, that we so seriously worry
about is nothing but a small, over the
week end jail sentence, compared to what
will come with death.
life isn't nearly as sacred as
the appreciation of passion."

Kurt Cobain

I guess I thought - They'd be just fine
Everything back - To how it had been
But if it ain't right - It's not meant to be
She'll still be there - Waitin' on me

Everything that - I ever had
Wasn't enough - God it's so sad
I can see - When I'm pushed away
It's all your fault - I'm not okay

CHORUS
Safe to say
I take the good with the bad
You took it away
All I ever had
But gave me so much
I thought I should add
Nothing's one way
I take the good with the bad

They fell down - I fell asleep
All at once - it's yours to keep
Keep it here - Keep it safe
'Til I wake up - Then I'll take your place

All the words - that you say
Don't mean enough - To keep me away
Still I head toward - The fate you gave
Come follow me - Into the grave

REPEAT CHORUS

Safe to say
I take the good with the bad
Nothing's one way
I take the good with the bad
Let me lie
I take the good with the bad
Safe to say
The good don't make up for for the bad

So the lyrics, yeah they aren't gona be how I planned 'em, but they turned out even better. Basically we need an intro, and then andy stops playing and sings, and then we play with andy n his guitar then he stops to sing again. We need a bridge (which I have in mind) and an outro and we're set for our first completely completed song. complete.

Other than that today sucked. Maybe tonight will be better =)

A rebel without a cause
A ghost without a name
I'm just another guy
Who walks by everyday

Well you stole my life
You stole my heart
It's all turned around
Tell me where we're bound

I've lost my purpose
My soul and my defense
And since I've lost so much
I'm goin' on the offense

CHORUS
'Cause you're just another
Pretty face
You're my disgrace
Get away from this place
You're not welcome here anymore
You're just another
Pretty face
My Disgrace
I want you out of this place
You're not welcome here anymore

I'm lost and I'm broken
And you don't help one bit
Lost all of who I am now
And you don't give a shit

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Well you see me
Yeah you know me
I'm a face without a name

It was the other day
Just the other day
Now it's back to the same

REPEAT CHORUS


alright, it doesnt read like a song, but imagine this:
-First two blocks sung out slow, with a slow strumming guitar
-Drum breakdown (Slow beginning with some sixteenth/twentyfourth notes at the end)
-Quick basic 'punk' guitar for the rest of the song til what I call the bridge
-'Softer' guitar at some tempo for bridge, drums bass stop
-Half way through the bridge drums come in with a different beat, again 'accelerate' into last time through chorus

I dunno, it works in my head.

No swimming. 'Tis good to know. Still working tonight though.

Sine the moment I spetted you
Like walking round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies... and it's alright
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never going to come down
If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied

[Pre-Chorus:]
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Seems like everything I say to you
Comes otu wrong and never comes out right

[Chorus:]
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get togehter and take on the world
and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon
and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
And slowly I begin to realize this is never going to end
Right about the same you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again'

When's thisever going to break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around
And it's alright
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never going to come down
If said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied

[Pre Chorus - repeat]

[Chorus - repeat]
