Dear Prudence

Funny story:

The beatles were 68 in India, some meditation stuff, also the singer from the beach boys, Donovan and Mia farrow (don't know her) and her sister Prudence.

Donovan taught Lennon some kinda new fingerpicking style or so; well Prudence was kinda depressed, didn't leave her tent or so - so lennon wrote this song:

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round round
Look around round round
Look around round round

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play


Funny thing is - i listened to this song when I phoned my upcoming brother in law about how 'bout makin' a band or something. Now I'm really feelin' a lot better.

A little bit like coming out of the depression... and its a fine piece of music.

Well, we all give Past Perfect another try, but i guess the band is kinda terminal. But I'm kinda in acceptance stage so no harm or so. Try to make the best of the last months. Then we'll see.

Heads up to Prudence

see ya

Bargaining stage, still

MAYBE its gonna be over MAYBE not.

In the meanwhile I'm not sure what I'd like more.

Its simply a hell lot of a time invested.

Seems like feeding a dead cow to me. Classy.

argl.

my 2 cent

It hurts

Well, it simply does. And I think maybe it even should.

A lot of time, and energy seems to have been wasted. Simple as that.

I ask myself how fast I wanna do that again; or if I wanna study kinda harder, to get to play with people who are way more interested in the playing itself.

Maybe theres silver lining on the horizon

Or its simply bargaining stage.

Anger

Sooo, lets have 'em:
5 Stages of Band-Grief:

Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance


Why I need them? Guess why. It's gonna be over on May 24, about 10:00 or 11:00 PM.

ATM I'm all about the anger. My bargaining was about half a week ago;
The second guitarist is still all about denial; Singer seems the kinda like depressed (not really, but band-grief-stage-wise...) Drummer is also between Anger and Depression (like I said, band-grief stage wise)

Our bassman is gonna be in Acceptance as soon as he knows for as good as I know him.

I can't put my feelings to words.

my 2cent so far

Perfectionism

Well, I kinda thought I'd be the only one with perfectionism in the last few months.

Studyin' is atm kinda fine.

Band is... well... ok.
It meant a lot to me that a lot of my friends apprechiated the gig at the bierkeller (as well as those who were on the andino-gig)

About andino-gig:
But our singer said that she heard comments that we were "over-rehearsaled".
But it wasn't like we were playin' too "perfectly". But it was rather the other way round; and she simply seems not to wanna put a lot of work into rehearsals and so on. Everything else seems (for me) to be more important to her.

And it sucks that it kinda seems "3rd-choice-evening programme" on tuesdays.

Well... Perfectionism. What takes nice things apart from the really great stuff?
Why is Edvard Griegs "Morgenstimmung" (don't wanna look for the original name) so full of pleasant, yet absolutely obvious chord changes, mood changes, without being predictable?

Another example for a simple, but soulful ballad:


Stevie Ray Vaughan wrote it for his wife to express his love to her.



Well the Problem at hand: Why tryin' to improve something you don't know how to improve? Why am I kinda alright today? How's it gonna be tomorrow?

Well, lets try DR House style:
Differential Diagnosis:

-Sometimes good mood
-Sometimes partly depression

Well - even at House MD its not clear why people without underlying conditions are miserable. What takes us all apart about that?

Would being dumb be an answer?
Simply being affected by the media and don't think about the big picture?


Well... conclusion later on. maybe after hell froze or something like that...
