Grace Matters

So I'm pretty sure that my next tattoo is going to have two words......

Grace Matters

one on each of the back side of my arm. simple statement but i think very underestimated with it's power...

it's a quote from Jeff Buckley (probably one of the most overlooked singer/songwriters of the 90's in the US anyway). He's looked at as a god in a countries he wasn't from..which slowly worries me...but kind of puts me at ease because these are people who genuinely look at you for who you are...and they understood his words...his hurt, pain, and love which is a beautiful thing to me...

anyway..

Grace Matters was really taken from a his quote in an interview that stated :

"grace is what matters"

( i thought grace matters would just fit better haha )

but the realism behind the idea is just genius...

grace matters...

he said

we are a people who are took quick to jump for the gun, and destroy things that we don't realize how beautiful they are until they're destroyed ...

but if we had a little grace in life...maybe we would could step back and enjoy before reaching for that gun so quickly.

.....this is a phrase i think everyone should really get into..

could just save the world.

Welcome Back

So it's been my dream to make music.

take the last bit of hope inside and match it with another,

and make one person realize that this world just might be better than you expected.

Looking at life, and love and realizing FEAR is the only thing holding us back from making 

this leap into the unknown where things at even face value are not our own.

They are owned by the person who's eyes we look into and leave our trust with.

They are the universal signal to be yourself, to love another, and to be free.

Not only me, but others alike combined this love to make things right,

to make music to change your heart light, and to keep it lit.

Now maybe some of this shit won't stick, but if i could say one thing it might be this:

My dream is to make music

that can look you in the eye and tell truth to your fears

it will send you back through all those years

ones that you struggled, and cried, and reached sometimes too far inside

so far to places that maybe haven't grown

maybe to some places that are better left alone.

But it is music....that can unlock the door, 

break down barriers like a civil war.

break down who we are, who we were, and who we're going to be

it sets your mind free, from eternal damnation

free from that school chumps, and reputation

free from the one night stands, or unfaithful man

free from the girl who flirts back, but trust you'll lack

free from the "college life" and this need to be educated,

when the real education comes from your life, your love, and yourself.

it's music man...

music

it can make you 

cry

smile

laugh

fight

scream

hell you may not even know what it means....but shit...

it's music man...

and that's my dream.

New Year

if i have known many things...then they've come down to this..

the last time, the last word, the last line

With my mind out to get me, and my age not to far behind i realize that it's just nothing

and my age isn't with the time

If there's one thing i've learn that it's ok to love,

to say what you really feel

for it's the real man, the blues man who can make it through the night

with the friends he's seen beside him, get cast out in the light

With this idea of life that clouds my mind with doubt, 

i push through, i stay strong, i'll always fight the bout

and if i fail maybe once or twice...and i see them shine above

i realize that all great things come with time and love

As a dreamer of dreams, i sit and wait for my day to come

they said i can't make, i was nothing...that all my luck was done

but if there's one thing i've lerned that it's ok to love..

cuz i'm blues man, but a good man..a man who's hearts above
