Winter is coming to Los Cabos. Not really but it's raining today and yesterday I put on a sweater for the first time in I don't know how long, I'm even wearing sweatpants this morning. It's kind of nice to have a rainy day, it's been a while. I mean we had some during hurricane season and I used them to stay indoors and avoid the world at large and that's exactly what I'm doing today. The dogs are all asleep on the couches leaving me no where to sit but at the kitchen table so I might as well take the time to write another blog. Not because I have anything to say necessarily but because I have another new song released today. It's Friday after all and this year I set out to put out a single a week. I've managed it pretty well, I think there was a couple weeks when I didn't get it to the presses in time so to speak but I will have 52 songs out come mid February next year. It's a pretty big achievement if I do say so myself.
This week I'm going bluesy. It's a little ditty called Nobody Does Me (Like I Do). I think it's a reminder to just be yourself and let everyone else do the same. I try to hide ideas for living a better life behind clever lyrics, they can't be straight up preachy you got to be able to interpret it in your own way. Music is a weapon and I choose to use it for good, or so I hope. It's okay if you just do you, you don't have to do me too. Of all the lines, this one is true, nobody does me like I do. I tend to agree with Bashar that the world is perfect exactly as it is but that it couldn't be perfect without me or you, you know. I mean sure there's lots of fucked up shit going on out there but it must be there for a reason even if that reason is just to wake people up to the fact that they don't like it. I also think that we all exist in our own realities and even though you might be sharing a space with someone, they're just another aspect of yourself and vice versa in their version of reality. I won't waste my effort though trying to explain what I mean, either you get it or you don't and I don't have the words to fully illustrate the concept yet. Perhaps I've done too many drugs over the years, or you haven't done enough, but who am I to try to influence anybody. You do you, I'll do me. It's just better that way.
