New Song in Email - And a New Ten Year Web Page….
Sunday, March 16th, 2008My friend said this page didn’t live up to…okay, he said it sucked.
Actually, blogs are supposed to be about honesty. He said this:
When I heard you were at Oxford, I was so damn proud of you. I thought of you often and had hoped to run into you again someday. But lost touch.
[What was written] isn’t “charming.” It’s isn’t “bohemian” or “artistic.” It’s totally self-indulgent and far beneath you.
Okay!
I’ve now reduded it to this:
I had put up some links to old pages on my old site, which amused me - I just found them - I’d not even seen these in five years!
Here they are - VERY retro and old, but not so horrible, really!
Need a Little Love - Original Story…
I also found an old song - I’m going to start putting up new ones, but thought I’d start with ones I really liked, that were forgotten about!
This one was done in my bedroom in, literally, fifteen minutes. NOT a professional song. But I like the sentiment behind it! (THIS IF FIVE YEARS OLD. MORE! They’re much better now, promise!)
Cheers,
Austin W!

Need a Reason to Live
When he was a young boy
He always did what he should -
Couldn’t really say that he was misunderstood;
Always did his homework,
Took out the trash -
Never sold drugs for his spending cash;
He always did what he thought he should,
So why does he feel like his life is no good?
You need a reason to live
And it’s got to feel right -
Don’t ever spend too long without a fight;
You need a reason to live
And it’s got to feel good -
Don’t always do just what you think you should -
You need a reason to live.
When he got older,
He only went out with girls,
Never wore makeup or his hair in curls;
When he played football
He didn’t cheat,
Always ate vegetables -
Never red meat.
Now that he’s older he’s politically correct,
But honey, lamb-chop baby - I object!
You need a reason to live
And it’s got to feel right -
Don’t ever spend too long without a fight;
You need a reason to live
And it’s got to feel good -
Don’t ever do just what you think you should,
You need a reason to live.
‘Cause (yeah) it’s my live to live,
I want to take, not just give,
I wanna do what is wrong -
Like changing the key in the middle of my song…
Now he thinks the thing is
He wants to change -
He wants to fly out of his limited range.
He wants to do something,
But he doesn’t know what to do -
Just what it is he hasn’t a clue (no clue!).
