About Me

Amanda's formative years were spent in the country town (preferred to be known as a city) of Armidale while earlier kicken it around the charms of Moree...notably at her residence, Moree Hotel where pokies, counter lunches, the juke box, passio orchy, prancing & la la ing around the bottle shop and bike riding were the fav thrills. This all happened after leaving the big smoke all of a sudden after her final class with favourite ballet teacher for 7 years, Miss Windred...well kinda...Anyway, Armidale offered all the great dorms in boarding school, horses, autumn leaves, singing lessons, snow, parties in sheds, scary school bus rides (once a day girl), beautiful views, fresh air, yummy water, fireplaces, school musical mania and much much more! And so while the varying tonally contextual storms have come and gone (as they do), Amanda has taken to containing such occurrences through song, dance, word, film, paint, draw, make etc and looking at herself in the mirror. Fighting and criticism have only seemed to have gained success when practiced on herself. It can be tricky however to "hold back" she says, when she can clearly see "the sun, whether it be dull or luminous, in the eye of every human" (she also later stated that this bio is one of those 'no hold back' situations...and then later later ponders the concept of 'reason' and 'why one gives a s%@$... again). She writes about a plethora of plethoras of many happenings drawn from 28 years of life most of which are featured in every made stuff. To interpret would be to be her...or... possible through an established common language...still no one would be the wiser. And she also finds it easier to view all humans/creators with in mind this disclaimer...well just because "it's more practical and can save soooooooo much time". You see, Amanda can be a little naive (being a country girl and y'all) and she has a tendency to get very confused when relying on her meta communication skills, "it's the storms... they can blur your vision, but the main thing I think is to always try and have fun!".All these things about her have been learnt with an assumption that "mistakes and madness are a good thing??" and she hopes to learn a "sum of a whole lot more"...she use to watch neighbours and bold & the beautiful every day.Such a way. Here today. Breathing still; not a mention yet. Folding time into three. Spreading out. Finding thee. Return the slave to whom it obeys. The scent of running water. The force of a running stream. Be prepared to watch another refrain with no decoration so ordered and chosen. Or so it may appear.

Keep holding on, to the emptying surrender. It is where you were that leads to now.Inspiring life, never thought would reappear. Begin another dream because another is seen.Don't need to know the meaning of pain. All pain can do is find its way to joy.Could be so still, balancing the weight of consciousness. There it goes again putting its conceptual needs in play. Myspace Mp3 Players

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/14/2007
Band Members: voice, keyboard, recorder, percussion, pseudo-production...Amanda Rae Kelly Live? you ask...'ARK' we are. Vocals and recorder...me me, Keyboard...Scott Gardiner, Double Bass...Yasushi Nakagawara...and teddy.
Influences: One should say what one wants to say...not what one thinks one wants to hear. Unless one is playing games...then it is fun! Skies, people, true interaction, love, consuming thoughts, consciousness, sensation, transformation, tenacity, kindness, perception, metaphor, all things sweet...and savory (food that is!), determination, expression, creation, courage, children because they believe and are true.Well it was strange to know what to do because there was nothing to do. But then when work was cloudy, the showers were brand new. And everything was black and blue and the veins were running and running. Before I get excited. Ah...slow.Don't know what to do with time, Keeps going, never mine. But 'mine' is such a useless term... mine is yours and our's is time.They continue with their working days. Expecting this to be the way. When all along it will never reach, a solid form from which they teach.Rescued from a rightful indulgence. A curse to accompany its withering whisper of seduction... and yet the stilling moment keeps one sane. Sanity, among many disabling forces can only 'produce' that which insanity creates.
Sounds Like: Possible beauty don't come around here. It may need a sacrifice to remain in the clear. Keep going and going, dancing with clouds. Forget to infect the purpose with now. Shake the silent wishing tree. Growing there so steadily. It needs to know of successful truth. So henceforth, can eat the fruit.The seaweed is thrown. It lands on the sand. Where will the water reach it? Only where time demands. Forging trenches to which we aspire. The knowing, the seeing, the dew and the fire.
