All songs written and preformed by Jerimiah...
I am currently the only band member as I have found it considerably challenging to find musicians to work with who understand and value HONESTY, and who enjoy making music enough to actually want to do it "in real life".....
...I have found so many players who possess phenomenal musical and artistic ability- and either have an overwhelming fear of success, or are too socially and emotionally stunted to be capable of honest reactions to proposals or earnest questions. These people, when faced with any band-related issues, will act neutral, and insist they have no opinion on matters of great importance - even when directly addressed.
- Everyone has an opinion.
So without the ability to express their opinions and preferences to the very people who are in a position to accommodate them, they begin to harbor serious resentment and become "passive aggressive"- even to the lengths of sabotaging plans and goals of the very band they have such a huge steak in. - They will eventually grow completely at odds with the other band members- especially the dominant one(s)-- and will no longer have ANY friendly or kind feelings toward them . They will lie to the band and then reveal their hidden desires, thoughts, and feelings to people they trust OUTSIDE the band... they will badmouth other band members to this people and they will eventually quit at absolutely the most critical time - and in the most destructive way possible.
And finally there are the brilliant musicians who "used to be down" but now are either married to their jobs, to a spouse who does not support their art, or they have children...... these people may even want to play..... but it does not work and pretending it can will hurt everyone involved.
These types of musicians are all I seem to be able to find for the last 8 years and it is a tragedy. It did not used to be like this and it is miserable..
So just finished the EMBERS demo myself. It would have been allot better had at least 1 of the 2 dipshits I was working with this year stuck with it....
*damn it is harsh* --
...Aaahhhh well... Life is what it is and I put out what I put out. I KNOW that I "could have" worked allot harder on the mixes, and the production in general-- down to even the recording (see: "dreams"-vocals)..
...But I purposely left the ends loose... and "threw together" the post production -
It represents a moment in time... And I will be happy to move forward, on to new landscapes of time and new songs.. I will enjoy this collection of songs with a much lighter heart one day when I am referring to them as "my old stuff".
