About Me

"I wish I was a nomad, an indian, or a saint, the edge of death would disappear, leave me nothing left to taint, I wish I was a nomad, an indian, or a saint, give me walking shoes, feathered arms, and a key to heaven's gate..." -Amy"We own nothing, nothing is ours, not even love so fierce, it burns like baby stars, but this poverty is our greatest gift, the weightlessness of us as things around begin to shift..." - Emily"I give you anything for a new experience, I'd give you my left wing for a new experience, give you fifteen bucks for new experience, I'd give you all my luck for a new experience..." - Michelle"When I get weary from workin' so hard, pinchin' them pennies, lord, I get so tired, I just wanna give up, I just wanna stop, then I come back to my senses and I thank God, we've got love money can't buy, we've got everything money can't buy, we've got love, we've got happiness, we've got peace of mind, we've got everything money can't buy..." - Donna"This love branches out like an oak tree, reach for the sky and roots to the sea, so when you're shaken down and broken, find some peace of mind in knowing, I'd throw them all away when I'm hollow, deep as the sea goes, all I know is I would throw it all away... away..." - Brandi"Sometimes I wanna give up and let it all go, but the more I think it through the more my strength begins to show, but I don't wanna keep this silence alive, it just rips us both apart inside, to see that we're fading away, you know that I hate this, to see that we're fading away..." - Sonia*When you grow up surrounded by this... you can do nothing so passionately as write and play music.*
