Things You Love You Lose

I've been rather lazy in getting new music made and uploaded recently.
It's bizarre too, because I've done a whole year of a Music Production
course. I didn't do a single tune while I was on the course. Probably
because the course is not the best course in the history of everything
ever. Ah, look at me blaming administration skills instead of taking
responsibility for my own failings as per usual. But the course isn't
actually that good, we never got a chance to do our own music. Let's hope
next year is a little better!
So, yes, it's been close to 11 months since I last put out a new piece of
music. The simple fact is that I haven't done anything worth releasing
recently. Honestly, this is the best thing I've come up with since "Why
Dream" last August. Well, there is that remix I did of Temporal Disruption
2 years ago that I merged with the vocals from Scooter's "Nessaja" last
summer that might get a release. It certainly went down well at a friend's
18th birthday party in March!
What's been happening with me recently, then? Well, I had a girlfriend for
a little while, then we had a difference of opinion and we split after
only 8 weeks. Nothing against her at all, she was a lovely girl, just not
what I'm looking for in a partner, really.
Sad news is that my Nan passed away in April. She'd been in hospital for
over three months so it wasn't totally unexpected, but naturally it was
still very upseting. My parents had gone away for a few days for their
25th anniversary (they weren't going to go because Nan was ill, but I
persuaded them to go, and I don't regret it). I was the one that got the
phonecall saying she'd died, at nearly midnight. It was so bizarre being
along in my house at that point. I think I dealt with it well. Before she
died, she'd asked my mum to ask me to play some of my music at the
funeral. I made special versions of Why Dream, All For You and Blue
Shores and they were played. This track is also dedicated to my Nan. I
loved her dearly and will miss her forever. She was a big part of my life
for 20 years, and I will remember her always.
That's about it, really. I have been thinking about leaving Leigh for a
few months to go off to Cambridge and do some volunteer work but I haven't
heard back from the people yet so it's anyone's guess as to whether it
will happen or not.
I'm hoping to get a few more tracks out over the next couple of months, so
stay tuned, won't us?
