FAWM 2012 over, now time for an EP

I participated last month in February Album Writing Month (fawm.org) and wrote a total of 18 new songs, a good many of them going to this band. Two of them will be put to a 5-song demo. This demo I speak of will be titled Disembodied Demos, for it is an EP of five songs that will later be rerecorded for the album Disembodied Voices Helped Me Write These Songs. The track list will be as follows:
1. Generator Of A Unique Pit
2. Vertigo Of A Dead Tale
3. As If The Stars Worked
4. This Song Is Not A Hallucination
5. My Supreme Unforgiven Note

That is, if I don't end up changing it later, but I feel pretty good about this track listing. When the recording of this demo is finished, I will post it up on bandcamp and maybe soundcloud. I have already drawn and colored the cover to the demo, which looks awesome if I don't say so myself ;) Stay tuned for the demo and have a wonderful life! - Devin

February Album Writing Month (fawm.org)

FAWM is upon us once more, 14 songs in 28 days, though since it is a leap year, it's 14 1/2 songs in 29 days. I have 7 songs, or 6 1/2 because I consider the song Remarkably Lazy my 1/2 song. I'm very excited, I'm really liking my songs so far. Generator Of A Unique Pit is my favorite so far, it's got a good, raw punk sound much like the stuff I wrote the most. What next will I write? We shall see!

Drawing

Yeah, so lately I've (Devin) been doing some drawing again after not drawn in a bit. The only thing is, though, the only images I've been illustrating are artworks for the LYD record. Front cover, back cover, back cover of lyric booklet, inside of the case, image on the cd itself, and a picture that looks like it should be a poster in the middle of the lyrics booklet or something. I just checked out one of my friend's blogs and they were posting up drawings and comics they've been drawing. After seeing the latest entry, it has come to my attention that I haven't drawn a comic in an EXTREMELY long time. The comic I just read included the artist's band as the main characters. I think I may have been inspired to take on an idea similar to that and draw a mini-comic. This brings me back to a concept I contemplated about a while ago. Quite a while ago, actually. The concept was to include comic strips all around the album's art; on the back cover, inside of the case, inside the booklet, etc. This may be a thought worth acting on when I get started on the inside of this record's lyric booklet. We shall see what awaits us...

As If The Stars Worked

LYRICS:
Some kind of question, a terrible disease
I wonder what you meant when you said "follow me"
Do I really think these words when you think about your time
This is the secret that we've locked inside the mind

CHORUS
But wait, I say, I hate to admit, but there's no confession
So far, they are, but if they're not, then I don't know anymore

Safer decisions stalk the table top of war
Study the hall and forget about the tour
As if I wanted to see you, but I couldn't wait to see you
You know what I meant, if I think I know, too

chorus

Rasalgethi and I surf the stars
And Jupiter jumps the moon
The earth has stopped all cars
And Saturn rises at noon
As if the stars worked, what if the stars stopped working?

chorus

Song meaning: These lyrics were written solely for the interpretation of the listeners and to compliment the melody.

Rough drafts and ideas for LYD's first album's cover have now been made!
