Recorded this cover this morning. It’s an acoustic cover of “You’re Not Ready” by Mayer Hawthorne. Please give it a listen and let me know what you think!

The downside of staying with the ‘rents when I’m in town…they fall asleep very early and when I sing, I wake them…soooo I finished MOST of the song, but not all of it…

That being said, I’ll have to post in the morning. So sorry.

Until then, here’s another oldie.

This is literally the first FULL song I ever wrote, and you can probably tell. It’s called “Widow’s Walk”, It’s about a man who dies at sea but he still kinda visits his wife in her dreams. Pretty deep for a 14 year old, eh? I’m still proud of it. Maybe I’ll re-record it sometime.

Alright, for real though. New song early tomorrow.

Words, escaping...

I won’t leave you speechless.
Can’t make you buckle at the knees.
But I promise you I’ll think too much
Then bite my tongue ‘til it bleeds.

I can’t hold a conversation.
I’ll never leave you wanting more.
But I guarantee, it’s you and me
‘Til death kicks down my door.

I may not be too famous.
No, I’m not a household name.
You won’t hear me on your radio,
But my heart works, all the same.

I never lied and never cheated.
Not a lover nor a test.
Because I care about this frail old vessel
Broken in my chest.

A better life is waiting.

These 2 songs are both very very old. I wrote and recorded these about 4 years ago. Although I was young when I wrote these songs, I’m still proud of them and I hope that the lyrics can relate to some of you. More stuff coming soon!

Fuck.

Our trailer just broke for the third time this year, I’m mentally and emotionally drained, I feel sick to my stomach, I’m lonely on the road and the ONE person I even care to talk to about it forgot that I’m alive. Needless to say, I haven’t been in this bad of a mood since…I can’t even remember. The fact that I’m deciding to run to Tumblr to whine about it makes me even more upset. All I have anymore are my words and my chords…and right now, I just want to go home.

My view from the van as I fall asleep on this rainy night in downtown Cleveland. Ahhh, tour life.

Ever since I was 15, Copeland has helped me deal with letting things go. Now is no different. Maybe someday. Until then…

The sound of a single saxophone in a busy city is pretty much my soul in aural form. Deep, I know…

That scene in Wedding Crashers where “Sparks” by Coldplay is playing and Rachel McAdams can’t sleep…these are two things that make my heart melt. That song and that girl. At the same time. Gah.

“I’m pretty tired…I think I’ll go home now…”

Remember this part? This is about how I feel…about everything right now.

The Best Policy

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 05:23:20 -0400

My advice to anyone, having been on both sides myself: If you truly love somebody, always be 100% honest with them. If you hide things from the people that you care about, finding out that you lied about it will always hurt way more than the truth ever could. Miscommunication = crazy confusion = someone’s getting hurt. Just think about that stuff.

Imagine this situation: You decide you want to swim from one end of the ocean to the other. It’s a dumb idea and you know you’ll never make it, but you do it anyway…just because you know that at least the water will feel good for the time being. You haven’t felt that in awhile. Now, here you are…struggling to stay afloat and soon, the ocean’s going to get the best of you. Guaranteed. It is a beautifully evil thing. Do you give up and swim back to your shore and salvage what’s left of yourself? Do you put in everything you have and still try to make it? Do you just accept your fate and let it take you under? Discuss.

I need some. Send me a picture of your favorite piece of art. That should get my brain working.

I’m Lee. I’m feeling honest.

I am 21 years old. I wish I grew up in the 80’s, yet I miss 2007 like the dickens. I was born and raised in Nashville and I miss it more every time that I leave. I love everything on Earth except for rush hour traffic, improper grammar, when people misquote songs or movies, and computers that don’t work properly. I love my mom’s cooking more than most things. My favorite foods are sushi and macaroni and cheese. I can quote Forrest Gump from front to back. Nostalgia is my favorite feeling in the world. My life decisions are spastic and I usually regret them. I have worked a retail job long enough to categorize each person into 1 of 3 categories. I am very patient. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt more often than I probably should. By habit, I lock every door that I exit (if I have the option). My weight fluctuates more often than Nashville’s temperature. Being a pizza boy was the best job I ever had. I’m not in one place for very long. I’ve seen more of the world in 1 year than I thought I would ever see. Music directs my life traffic. I like high-pitched guy singers. I wish I wrote “Avalon” by Anthony Green and “Only Way To Be Lonely” by Good Old War. I don’t like driving the speed limit during the day, but I will gladly drive it after midnight. I want to move to Maine. I want to live in a little house near the ocean and write songs forever. I use more of my heart than the rest of the world thinks I should.

That’s what’s wrong.

Tell me your story. All of it.
