prefer both YAYM versions of cali and wasted time...cali cause you can hear caleb giggle, and wasted time for the way he says 'justawhatasaw' was literally about to say that :] *karma* andand caleb's wee screams near the end of california waiting, i miss youth and young manhood sometimes :\ |

That just sounds like my life summed up in a paragraph  Music is the most important thing in my life. I've had a lot of crap with my family, friends and partners, and even though everyone seems to leave me behind, music's the one thing that stays with me through everything. That's why I love it so much; you don't have to speak to convey your feelings, and you don't have to try to explain anything to yourself because there's always a song out there somewhere that has you down to a t. My dad's a musician but he left before I was old enough to remember him, and although I'm bitter, he left me the amazing gift of music! I just understand it; I can play it, sing it, hear it and manipulate it like I was born to do it. That's why I'm determined to make a career in music. I wanna achieve the dream for myself and my dad, even though he probably won't be there to see it happen. KOL are one of the greatest treasures of my life! I'm so happy they're here. ...and I'm sorry, that was rather personal and essay-ish and probably boring and slightly pedantic, right? Sorry bout that. Just had to gush that out there. xxx Wow,i'm the exact same way except i don't have any family members in music. But i've always loved it too,from a young age,i would either be listening to my moms stereo with the headphones on,or i'd be in my room with the door shut listening to my cd's. I also have to do a job in music,ive been doing a lot of thinking lately and i decided i want to be a music journalist or have a music website or blog. But i'd love to try it all,being in a band,doing sound production,being a roadie,i want to get involved in all of it,but being 36,my time is too limited to do all that. In the meantime i spend as much time as i can listening to it. Oh look whose rambling now LOL sorry we kinda hijacked this thread |

Can't I get back my lonely life" I always thought he was saying "I cannot give back my lonely life"?   Oh maybe he does but i read it this way on 2 lyrics sites,although i know most of them are screwed up,i guess i thought since 2 sites said the same thing that must be what it is,but i cant say for sure  |

Thank you guys Perhaps we did hijack this thread with all out musical ambitions! Oops! I'm similar in that I want to do as many different things as I can. My main interests are playing in a band (which I already do), being a producer, being a live sound engineer at gigs, and music journalism. Although I'd do anything I can to get further up the ladder! I'm only 19 though so I have a long way ahead of me yet Heh, all wrapped up in feelin' 19  xxx |

But you have nothing to lose and everything to gain,so good luck to you!! |

But you have nothing to lose and everything to gain,so good luck to you!! Wow I didn't realise there was that much of an age gap between us! See, it just goes to show you're never too young or old to have dreams! That goes for you too It doesn't matter what your life is like now. Think of it this way; you have a well-paying job that you're comfortable in, that's a perfect environment to kick-start any hobby that could turn into a brand new career! I think if something's meant to be, or if something just works for you, like music seems to do with us two, you can make anything happen with it. I mean I'm going to uni this year, moving out into a new town, the whole shebang, but I don't know where I'll go from there. I have no idea how I'm going to make it from small-town daughter of a failed musician to where I want to be, but I have a gut feeling I can do it. I wouldn't be here trying so hard otherwise So don't give up on your dreams! I sure won't! xxx |

Yeah i tend to put up roadblocks too much,like i really want to go to music school but i can't afford it,and i really want to be in a band but every instrument i try i suck at...thats why i've narrowed it down to music journalism cuz i can freelance in my spare time while still keeping my job,and you dont HAVE to go to school for it. I will probably create my own website or blog or something first. What are you going to major in at uni? (it feels wierd not calling it college but i'm in the minority here,i better learn to speak like a foreigner LOL) You can answer me back in PM if you think we'll get in trouble for going on about it in here |

The course is called Music Production but it includes so many different aspects of the music industry over the three years. For the first year, you do compulsary modules of everything, then at the second year, you choose which particular areas you want to continue in. I think the modules are pretty vast, I know there's recording, performing, live sound engineering, songwriting, journalism, management, a&r work... There's allsorts! I'm scared about going... but it'll be worth it You shouldn't give up on your dreams! Music journalism is so easy to do on the side of your job, and it can lead to bigger things, and maybe you'll get the chance to branch out and make it more than a hobby! xxx |

We dont have that here where you learn a little about each thing and then you can decide which one is best for you. You're lucky you have that! |

I like the sound of it but I'm more keen on my first choice. I really hope it's going to be as good as I think it will be |

I'm sure whatever you do will suit you just fine If you're passionate about it, you'll make it work. It always happens I'm very excited about going to uni, I've just gotta shake off that little childish insecurity that's still lurking inside me THEN I'll be able to blossom into the musician I know I can be! I'm so glad I took a year out. I totally wouldn't have been ready a year ago. xxx |

Aw, I'm having a gap year. I don't feel ready for more education yet and I've hated college and struggled with it from day one, I'm actually quite suprised I have lasted this long! I am really passionate about it, it's the only industry that interests me |

Well I'm sure you'll do great! I took a gap year because I was too hung up with personal stuff that was going on. Boyfriend crap. And also I seem to have a huge fear of being alone, especially in a new place with new people, and I'm a year ahead of my best friend, so I took the gap year so we'd go to uni at the same time. I was hoping she'd get into the same uni as me and then I'd be able to crush my fear for a little longer, but to be honest, that won't heal anything. I'm glad I took the gap year now, so that I can learn to stop being such a kid and put my fearful side behind me. I should be ready this time around xxx |

I'm the same! I'm useless on my own, I worry about stuff so much too. I know a couple of people going to the Uni I've applied for, no one on my course but it's not that popular at the moment cos it's new. I'm living at home which is easier but I find it all a bit daunting still. I'm hoping in my year out I'll learn to overcome that a bit, and try new stuff out |

See I'm doing the whole shebang; leaving home, shacking up with a bunch of strangers in a town I don't know, condemning myself to three years on a course where I don't have a single friend... the works. That's why I'm scared. And also I tend to have terrible luck with staying with people; every time I make an honest friend I always end up getting split from them. Most of them I never see again. So I'm hoping to use the gap year to live out the last little bit of my childhood, and while I'm here, I want to spend it with my friends and my bf. Then it'll be time to ship off to uni to grow up. xxx |

If i had the money i'd be quitting my job,moving to where the school is,and i'd study music for 4 years. I wish i was in your shoes. |

Nah, you don't want to be me right now. I'm happily denying away but at some point I know I'll break a little bit when I realise the magnitude of how serious this is. I don't know why I'm so dependent, I just feel like I need my best friend or my bf with me wherever I go, and although going to uni could lead to the career of my lifetime, it'll tear my friendship and relationship apart. Me and my best friend have been together since 13, and everywhere I've gone, she's managed to come with me. It'll just be terrible if we get seperated. She knows me like no one else does. And it's a hell of a long story but me and my bf have had such a terrible ride and I'm so incredibly lucky to have him now. After years of torture and tears, we finally get together and now we're headed in totally different directions. I'm moving 2 hours North of my hometown, he's jetting off to California. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to go to uni and I know it'll put me in the greatest stead for the career I want. I just can't bear that I have to choose my career over my greatest friend and a boy that I think I could actually be in love with  xxx |

Awww,Razz *big hug* I didnt realize you were so close with your friend and boyfriend...it will suck at first but you'll get used to being apart from them,and maybe the distance will make you even closer. And you will make new friends too (and probably meet guys who want to date you),so i think it'll be better than what you're thinking. And remember,you always have Happy Alone! |
