Why Would I Write

  • Cabs of the future.

    So the other day I got in a cab, and realized that the cab in front of me was going to the same place as well. Then I thought to myself- wasn’t that a huge waste of petrol and money? If only I knew the person in front, we could have shared the cab, the costs, and the cab driver would’ve saved petrol, and hence saved the environment.

    But because we were strangers, we didn’t get on the same cab.

    So in the car I started thinking to myself about cabs in the future. Maybe in the future, there would be a sign on top of the cab that displays its destination, via which route, and how many more passengers it can carry. And people who were going to the same place can flag the cab down and join the ride. The meter would calculate when the second person got on and split the remainder of the distance with the new guy and so on.

    This would solve problems with not enough taxis going around, encourage carpooling, and who knows, even create relationships between strangers!

    Anybody wanna vote me into parliament for ministry of transport?
    Fuck me, I’m just babbling lol.

  • Inspiration kicks ass.

    So I was inspired to write a new song. Haha. Finished the first and second verse and chorus today, and I’m so excited to share it just cos its a happy song and I rarely do those. It’s gonna be 2 in a row. 😀

    Here’s the rough demo I did in like 3 minutes. I’ll do a proper one along with the untitled party song at a later date. In the mean time, enjoy this rough version. I’ll probably be playing this live in future gigs if I get good response here.

    Walking on Clouds
    you’ve got me feeling like i’m walking on clouds
    and i ain’t coming down without you by my side
    we’ll stroll down rainbows and pluck cotton candy
    from stray clouds along the way

    you’re my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
    i don’t want your riches i just wanna, bathe in your glow

    i’ll run my fingers through your hair
    and kiss your cheek
    ‘cos i’m the kind of guy who takes it
    nice and slow

    it’s been a long time since butterflies have visited my stomach
    and they ain’t leaving soon
    not with you in the room
    not with you in the same room as me

    here’s a box of chocolates, will you be my valentine?
    i don’t need wings to fly, i’ll settle for a smile

    awwwww I’ve grown all sappy and shit 😀 haha
    comments/feedback appreciated!

  • 2storeyheart (get ready for it-) VIDEOS!

    Haha. So last night’s gig was a blast. I got to perform 6 songs (lol) and the new song was pretty well received. And thanks to my sister I now have videos of me performing! all 6 songs!

    (tonight you are) my star

    the untitled ‘party song’

    october angel

    everyone’s got a myspace song now

    paperback romance

    car crash hearts and a love letter written by a half-dead romantic

    Note- the video is out of sync with the audio and the last few seconds of each song are cut :S I have no idea why, but its better than nothing. Besides you can’t see my face in the videos anyway haha.

    Thanks to all you guys who took your time to come and watch me perform. Thanks to Jasmine for organizing another great gig, and to the bands that performed. An Honest Mistake– I think I’ve found my new favorite local band! You guys were awesome. When Jasmine asked if I was single, I should’ve said ‘yeah..until I fell in love tonight.’ lol

    Here’s to more songs and gigs in the future. Feedback/comments would be appreciated 🙂
    And if you want more, you can head on to myspace.
