exact hear hope people psyched radio record schedule somewhat start station
It's hard, because I feel like I've got this record that I'm so psyched on and I want so many people to hear and unfortunately with radio and stuff, a lot of times you have to give to get, ... You've got to be able to go out and play a show for the station and do this and that, and I want to, but at this exact second, I can't travel. ... But my hope is that I can start working back into at least somewhat of a schedule where I can be doing promotion.
days tired
Im so tired of these days that feel like night.
hard
So they're dosing me hard for that now.
spring winter confusion
And seemingly as winter has become spring, confusion has become insight.
drama crazy thinking
You can't control what goes on around you, you can't. But for me, I think there's staples of these moments, that crazy moment where you think you're indestructible. That moment where you find out that you're not. And then that moment where all of a sudden you go, okay, I'm not indestructible but I'm gonna be okay. You have this life, and we all have these lives we live but it takes a bit of learning before you realize not every drama's going to kill you and not every hard day has to lead to another one.
struggle fighting winning
You don't have to push or pull or fight or win, the struggle is illusory. Sometimes or rather, all times, you just have to be.
thinking path stills
Things are fragile, but we're all being carried and I think we're all on our path in that sense. As fragile as things are, we're still getting there.
dark night destiny
I am lucky. I did not choose this life. It chose me. It's strange like that; not picking my path, but rather easing into the water and letting it carry me where it will. Yes, there will be nights where I feel like my destiny is at my fingertips and there will be nights I wish the lights were off and I could just make these sounds in the dark. Still, I will always be there, wherever there might be, staring into blackness hoping the blackness stares back at me.
christmas running song
I had this idea when I was in the hospital, .. It seems like every year I always have different people come and ask for a Christmas song and it seemed strangely appropriate for me this year because Christmas is the time that I am supposed to be sort of back and up and running and whatnot. So I just wrote a song about returning from this very interesting journey and kind of getting back to normal and getting back to work and my regular life.
curves balls way
You're gonna get thrown curve balls left and right, and that's just the way it goes.
thinking important littles
I think that's the most important thing: when life kind of screws you over a little bit, you've got to learn from that experience.
hard-times feels puzzles
I have a really hard time connecting to music that doesn't feel like I'm somehow solving a puzzle that applies to my life.
sweet doctors rocks
I'm Doctor McMahon with a Ph.D. in sweet-ass rock with an emphasis in set list creation.
commitment race years
Today I felt like a part of something awesome, the human race. I know it can be ugly; it really is in so many ways. But today there was nothing ugly to see, just people trying to be better. And maybe that's the key. Not resolutions and forgotten promises, but instead a commitment to do this year a little better than the last. I'm feeling good about this one. I really am.
