Sooo, here is the Bushyagenda for this week:
I am well-overdue for a break in order to avoid burnout, but before I do I am planning on finishing up my demo track of the song, "Indian-Style" tomorrow. Once completed, I will stack the three tracks and hand them over to Aaron to do his voodoo he does so well at the final mixing and mastering to get the "BUSHYBITS" EP ready to market. Then, it is time for shows again!
After the final work is done on my end, I can also start working on new material! I am currently immersed in three new song ventures, one of them being a tune called, "Soul Candy". I love writing lyrics, one of the lines in the song;
My face is sore from the smiling
Tensions fade, no need for unwinding
I’ll travel hundreds of miles on my knees
You are my soul candy
I have been writing lyrics and poetry every since I was 12 years old as even back then I knew I wanted to be like my hero Billy Joel and write music. Later it was Led Zeppelin, Y&T and Black Sabbath and somewhere mixed in was Prince and Kenny Rogers...I had a diverse musical upbringing :) But, I knew I wanted to write, perform and share my music as much as I could with as many people as possible. I have always said that music was merely transportation, but the message was the destination. Good lyrics are lasting and can stand the test of time. Songs like "Stairway To Heaven", "Piano Man" and even "The Gambler" are great not just because of the music, the stories they tell create visions for people to cherish. Romantic songs like Joel's "This Is The Time" to Barry Manilow's "Weekend In New England" pull at the heart and make the listener yearn to love deeper. And as for Prince, he just makes you feel like... ;)
There is more to talk about and the coming week is already full of more exciting things taking place in Bushyland. Before I do sign off, let me say that what makes this so much fun is the fact that I am surrounded by some really great people. See, as 2012 closed, I had made the decision to walk away from a number of relationships that I figured would leave me lonely at first even though I knew it would eventually make me stronger. The true blessing is the fact that not even halfway through 2013 I find myself daily swimming in the calm waters of gratitude and the realization of how fortunate I truly am. I am blessed, now is my time to be a blessing to others through the songs of Bushyhead as it is my joy set to music.
Love you all!
Vince aka Bushyhead
