Pleasure
Everyday that I’m alive I try to feed my desire for pleasure. It’s an unending desire that I can’t control most of the time. It’s vicious. My brain tells me that I need to feel, that I need to experience. Whatever the feeling, whatever the experience, it’s the pleasure of feeling alive, of feeling free, like I’m in authority of what makes me the happiest. Every...

Rare
I never post the lyrics to my songs before you can hear them in the context of the song, but I’m posting this song. The only reason why, is because it’s 100% about me. I’m always wanting more, I’m always trying something new to fix my problems, I’m always someone other than myself, I’m always falling apart. Here’s the lyrics to “I Fell...
To My Superiors...
Inferiority complexes begin when we’re young. At least mine did. It all starts when the other kids in the class start talking about their shoe size. Mine was always a few sizes smaller. Then in the class photos, I’m always the one on the far right or left…in the front row…with all the girls.
After that, there’s jr. high and its a race to see who’s voice gets...

5 Albums I Love Right Now
If I were to suggest 5 albums to get right now, these would be my suggestions. These may or may not have anything to do with what my favorites of the year are, just a few that I can’t stop listening to for now. Check them out.
A Silent Film- The City That Sleeps
Brandon Flowers- Flamingo
Stars- The Five Ghosts
Two Door Cinema Club- Tourist History
The Sounds- Crossing The Rubicon
I told myself I would update this thing more. I’m not sure what for. I guess it’s one of those things that makes me think I’m worth something. I actually don’t know what this blog is. People do gear blogs, worship blogs, church blogs, movie/music blogs, etc. I’ll just go ahead and say that this is a cluster cuss blog. It’s what I feel like writing at the exact...

It can be anything
I’ve been thinking a lot about doing cover songs lately. I really believe that when you strip a song to it’s most naked form (i.e. just a piano or a guitar and a melody) and it still comes out a beautiful song, that’s when a perfect song has been written. I think this applies to every genre, every tempo, every time signature. I’m not sure how you strip down rap songs,...

It’s been a while…
It’s been so long that I can’t remember whether ‘a while’ is spelled ‘a while’ or ‘awhile’…
Either way, I have a daughter now, she’s perfect. Except for the fact that I’ve already been peed and pooped on. Birth and all the stuff that comes with it is a clear presentation of the evidence of God. If...

I thought about all the albums I review on here and I’m going to just start doing it this way. I’m not much of a ‘reviewer’ for lack of a better word, I consider myself more of a suggestor. This also reminds me, follow my music suggestion page at twitter.com/holmansuggests.
