April Shananigans - The End

Well, it's the last day of April, the first day of recording and the 17th day of an accident-free workplace. We should all be quite proud.

Back to our regular shananignas (read: never posing since the MBA keeps me too busy) after this.

But first...


-Smile... I dare you.

Today I'm forcing myself to submit my paper. Beautiful, sweet escape.


Don't whisper in my ear that there's nothing to fear since our love is a fire

April Shananigans - Repeat

Rainy day... writing paper.


-This could mean so much more if I thought there was love on the tip of my tongue

A little further now... get back to where we're comfortable.

Up, back, or down?



-Stonewall all the lovers from your past

April Shananigans - Tradition

I've been listening to this song on this morning for 15 years... if that isn't depressing, I don't know what is.



-I've got oh so many pretty things, but none just as pretty as you

April Shananigans - Respect

Don't simply respect your elders... learn from them.



-All the trust you place inside of me, it don't feel right

April Shananigans - What a beautiful Mess

Indeed



-Put yourself in someone elses' bare feet

April Shananigans - Slow and Steady

Still 2 weeks left in this term... and the report I've got now basically just blends into my work for the summer. No real break in sight... but I suppose its just a matter of time.



-So this isn't love, it isn't hate... its something in between

April Shananigans - Nerd

Jer for the win.

One of my favorite new bands has a new music video? Don't mind if I do...



-We were so good on paper that could never be signed

April Shananigans - Who's it gonna be

Some days you've simply got to decide: is the world stepping on you or are you stepping on the world?



-At the end of the night, what she asked of me would have made Caligula blush

April Shananigans - Narcissist

Call me one if you must, but I'm so excited to record this whole song at the end of April, I'm pretty sure someone just peed my pants.



-Easy come and easy go ain't how I'm living anymore

April Shananigans - Them Blues

"The blues is when you love somebody don't love you."



-I'll bottle up my problems and I'll drink those too

Sunday, April 10, 2011

April Shananigans - Step Up

Time to get shit done.

April Shananigans - Exhaustion

Sometimes... things get a little much.



-I'm going to kiss the devil and make his problems mine

Friday, April 8, 2011

April Shananigans - Limits

Halfway through this last run towards the goal and still piles upon piles to read and write. Yup... hittin the wall feels about right.



-I felt so bad for oh so long for the words I left burning inside of you

Thursday, April 7, 2011

April Shananigans - Louder

The world's too loud... most people would ask to turn it down, but I'd rather just drown it out.



-I've got to pour my heart out this time

April Shananigans - Mornings

I went to the show a few weeks ago with Andrea and since picking up the album, this opening track has been somewhat of a morning anthem. Something about the chiming mandolin just feels like the sun is being dragged out of its habitual slumber.



-For all the harm that I've caused, you know you'd suffer if I stopped

April Shananigans - More of it

Am I too busy to do this again?  Yes... but it was a very healthy, introspective experience last year, so what the hell?

Last year, I set out to share a song a day based on how I was feeling and what I wanted to experience with people.  While I'm already 5 days into my birthday month (stupid MBA, getting in the way of music), you've got to admit this is better than nothing.  Don't expect me to be very verbose; this month is all about the tunes.


-I'm grinning like a man possessed by giants, if them giants was you
