Poetry: Lover

Lover is a dirty word
it’s untrue
and I like it.
I want
until I have
then I’m done
and I’m gone.
Emotions change
with my mood;
they are weather,
they are waves,
I am waging war forever
within myself.
Lover never.
Lover ever.

What I've been doing...

Hello, I'm sorry I've not been posting, I've been absolutely rushed off my feet doing everything in the world! October has been the busiest month for me. Lots of things are coming to a close and getting all exciting.

Music

The other day I travelled to Cambridge with two of my best friends to see my current favourite band, Dry the River. It was an unbelievably perfect night. The set was absolutely fantastic, there was a great atmosphere in the crowd and everybody was emotionally wailing along, and we met Scott Miller (bass), Peter Liddle (vocals and guitar) and Will Harvey (violin)! They were so lovely and nice to talk to.

I've also been doing a lot of work on my own music. I'm doing some proper recording with my boys on Tuesday for my brand new EP 'Songs From My Ribcage'. I finished the artwork last night:

It's going to be released sometime very soon, I'll post about that when I know for certain. 

Music video also coming soon!

Film

My film is finally coming to a close! Our final shoot begins at 5pm today, how exciting. We're shooting the dramatic end sequence today, our biggest shoot yet.

I've just finished some work on a short documentary as a part of research for my EPQ project at college. It's about an exhibition by a group of artists in Leiester called 'The Collective'.

Music: I Feel Better by Frightened Rabbit

I Feel Better by Frightened Rabbit

I’ll stow away my greys, in a padlocked case and in a padlocked room. 

Only to be released when I sing all the songs I wrote about you. 

This is the last one that I’ll do.

Music: Not That You'd Even Notice by Keaton Henson

Not That You'd Even Notice by Keaton Henson

and I won't see light 'til you come back to me
and I won't feel a breeze 'til I hear your house key
and I won't hear a sound 'til you fall to my knees
sayin' "please don't leave me"

Poetry: Sunday Evening Blues.

Internal organs and
skin and
weak bones are
bathed in glory and
basked in sunshine.

Dancing aches and
an insight into a heart and
you’re too far broken.

I cannot conclude.

My ribcage is too exposed
to threat and intrusion.
I do not care for it
and I don’t think
I can.

I just wish
for
touch
soon.
