"Yesterday's memories are all gone and spent, and tomorrow's memories are always there for you to invent." In this blogs you'll be exposed to music and you'll hear my perspective on each song. Music is a way of expression and a way that is usually taken for granted. You need to see beyond the surface of the beat; listen to the lyrics and enjoy...

The time device of self-destruction: Paranoia
Destroyer - The Kinks
Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place
Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere
Stop! Hold on. Stay in control
Girl, I want you here with me
But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be
'Cause there's a red, under my bed
And there's a little yellow man in my head
And there's a true blue inside of me
That keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya
Paranoia, the destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer.
Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin' kinda' queer
Lola looked at me and said, "ooh you look so
weird."
She said, "man, there's really something wrong with
you.
One day you're gonna' self-destruct.
You're up, you're down, I can't work you out
You get a good thing goin' then you blow yourself out."
Silly boy ya' self-destroyer. Silly boy ya' self-destroyer
Silly boy you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You blowing it all with paranoia
You're so insecure you self-destroyer
(And it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Here it goes again)
Paranoia, the destroyer
Doctor, Doctor help me please, I know you'll understand
There's a time device inside of me, I'm a self-destructin'
man
There's a red, under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, "you're not goin' crazy, you're just a bit
sad
'Cause there's a man in ya, gnawin' ya, tearin' ya into
two."
Silly boy ya' self-destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer
Self-destroyer, wreck your health
Destroy friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruption
(Yea, it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Here's to paranoia)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Hey hey, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(And it goes like this)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(And it goes like this.)

Christmas Concert 2012
I'm sorry that I haven't posted much lately, but grade 12 is killer... -.- I'm in between semesters right now so I have a bit of time... Here's our Xmas concert:
Our concert band wasn't the greatest this year... Though we did recruit a violinist last minute. With only two rehearsals she was ready for the concert!!!
This was originally our invitational band, but so many people dropped out that we only had a handful of people. We were saved by the violinist in this group as well. I think if we had rehearsed this song for more than a few rehearsals we could of done better, but we choose this last minute realizing that we couldn't play our other songs without woodwinds.
Jazz Band:
Concert Band: Noel

Ophelia - The Band
Boards on the window
Mail by the door
Why would anybody leave so quickly for
Ophelia?
Where have you gone?
The old neighborhood
Just ain't the same
Nobody knows just
What became of
Ophelia?
Tell me what went wrong?
Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Mama I know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know
I'd die for you
Ashes of laughter
The ghost is clear
Why do the best things always disappear?
Like Ophelia
Please darken my door.
Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Honey, you know we broke the rule
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey you know
I'd die for you
they got your number
scared and runnin'
but I'm still waitin' for
the second coming
of Ophelia
come back home
