The same... but not at all...

"So sit me in the pouring rain, i'll listen to the beat if it will keep me sane. Anything to drown the sound 'cause every mile screams, afraid that we'll wake up before we find our dream. Let the cynics say that we have lost our minds we won't come down until our hearts are satisfied."

-The Vinyl Affair

The 2nd verse of a tune i wrote about 2 1/2 years ago. See I'm working on a new project, "The Sun is Screaming", and in rearranging an acoustic version of this song i got this really weird feeling. Originally it was about a unique experience and relationship. By the time we got around to recording it that relationship changed significantly and was at the brink of failure. 

It failed. But we move on.

And now that i'm re-recording an acoustic version of this song i'm finding that, a year and a half and one more relationship later, i'm the exact same spot... but not at all. Make sense? It was a really weird feeling. Accurate i guess. Because like my situation, the song is the same, but it's changed significantly over time through perspective and experience. 

The same song, but a completely different sound. The same season, but a totally different spin. I think i'm starting to see the cycles that life comes in and hopefully understand it's twists. But if there's anything i've learned as of yet, it's to not try and wrap mind mind around it. As soon i let that impulse go, it plays out perfectly - though maybe still painfully - right in front of me.

I hope you guys digg the new stuff. It's coming soon. I'll post the link to the original version and post the new one when it's ready.
