sad bastard music

sometimes i put on music i've written and recorded while i go to sleep. it isn't because i'm narcissistic. it's because i can relate. i gave you much more than i usually give myself in those songs, mostly becuase i can inscribe meaning into them after the fact. but that's important. it's the mark of a good singer/songwriter's song. if everyone can see his or her own life in the lyrics, then they're effective.

it's working on me now. and not because of the things i wrote my songs about in the first place.
