Audesi - Where the Sky Turns Blue Again Audio Journal
I don’t know where the sky turns blue,
with me and you, where the sky turns blue again.
Singing along the same old song,
I’m starting to see where I’ve been going wrong.When time leans down to pick us up,
We will learn to drink from lifes cup.
Our souls will burn a mark in God’s design,
Our World will define itself in due time.
These are Dreary Daffodils I drew for Mandy:
With a little Photoshop:
Today I got laid off from my job, yet, I felt an overwhelming sense of possibility as I drove away. The air was fresher and Spring was coming. It was such a nice day anyway! It’s shameful being stuck inside those brick and mortar walls!
A whole companies employees lost their jobs today, consisting of well over 80 employees. I saw people on the brink of tears, with families, homes, and no other ways to support themselves. I was amongst the few to figure out what was going to happen slightly before it did. The rumours were mounting while I was eating my lunch, the front doors were locked, the phones were no longer being answered, and everything became silent. Soon after, I witnessed the two brothers who headed the empire argue loudly, bickering like children amongst each other, with sibling rivalry at the root of it. A few feet in front of me, before a teleconference to all other locations was telling us it was over.
The owner tried to promise us that everything would work out and that this was for the best. His brother reminded him and us in the room that he was telling us bullshit. He was bailing out with his four very expensive cars, a nice house and his new business endeavours. We had to leave our work half completed on our benches and our promises unfulfilled. I scribbled down notes for each of the projects I had been working on, so that someone could properly finish them later on and I left the building.
I got in my car with my huge laptop backpack, pushed it over to the passenger side, hooked up my iPod. I rolled down my windows and blasted my music as I drove down the highway in my shitty ass car, heading into uncertainty. My heart raced, as if destiny was trying to tell me something; trying to lead me away to somewhere unknown, where I better belonged. We’ve all been dragged by the force of change and I almost felt the tears somewhere inside of myself as well, but at the same time, I was somewhat relieved. I don’t want to let myself down. Beautiful days are coming!
If anybody wants to hire a music producer, web programmer/designer or sound designer, send me an email. Or better yet, has connections to proper means to get my music out there and heard, so that I can make a fair living. Email me!
