------So my old friend of insomnia has been hitting me up again and I find myself very bored at nights. I also find myself procrastinating on responsibilities due to this messy sleep schedule. Intresting things have been happening in my life though, its just these long sleepless nights that get to me. So I have a gig at november 7th, not with my band, but rather a gig for myself. I'm preforming an acoustic session at my campus with songs I've written in highschool. (Different from the test show which I'm engineering) I'm doing a setlist of four songs:



------Its kinda exciting to be honest, and I invited some of the G.O.A.T (music club) at campus to preform my peices with me. I'll be having another guitarist, a percussionist, and a violinist join me. I'm excited because I was recording the Never Reach The Stars EP during early summer, but shows with A King's Ransom (My band) made me push them off to the side. I'm hoping to at least gain some publicity and support with this show, for at least the whole EP. Hopefully I'll have videos to share with you guys <3



------I wanted to touch into something now I've immersed myself back into these songs. A lot of people asked me why I stopped writing lyrics. I've gotten a lot of comments that I'm a beautiful lyricist, and people always ask me why did I stop. I think its cause my taste in music has changed overtime, and as of currently I'm inlove with instrumental music. I find it often that lyrics often drown out the beauty of the music. Oftenly you'll have a beautiful lyrics and the music track behind it would be boring, plain, and repetitive. I'm going to be honest and I sorta find the Never Reach The Stars EP to be like that. So I've been focusing alot on my instrumental compositions as of late. I haven't released any yet though. I think that Yvette Young has managed to combine both, having beautiful lyrics and beautiful music. (Link to her Bancamp) I wanna try to achieve this level instrumentation, and lyric composition.

------I guess another reason why I stopped is due to lack of practice. And I'm pretty picky when it comes to lyrics. Like in my song, Confessions of A Consciousness; not a lot of people would think its a song about losing faith at your religion. Its crazy, I wanna start writing lyrics again though. I have some ideas in my mind. I just need to shoot them out, let go of these feelings. I'm not sure anymore.

Thanks for reading, this is Anikacy, who can't sleep again.
