Corey here, in Prague... been through london, paris, amsterdam, and now here. Drank a bit of absinthe tonight and then wrote a bunch. Might actually have some new songs when I get back.
anyway, to reach me, hit up corey.horn@gmail.com. Also, I strongly suggest visiting Prague and Amsterdam, and seeing Van Gogh's Self Portrait of himself in a felt hat. It was the most interesting piece for me at the Van Gogh museum.
I'm off. Should have at least a little new material when I get back.

| Flight...
I'm having a lot of trouble believing that college is over. It has been hitting me gradually and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. I'm sorry to leave my friends here behind, I'm sure I'll talk to them, but it won't be the same (regardless of what anyone says). I feel like I've had to say goodbye a lot over the past couple of weeks, and it's not very enjoyable.
I've started recording "Second Best", and should have a working copy on mp3 by the end of the week if not sooner. I'm very concerned with capturing the feeling behind the song when I wrote it... now that I've come to grips with the situation and feel like I've more or less accepted everything for what it is/was, it's becoming more painful to reopen it when I sing, and it's becoming very easy for me to play the song without any feeling. I never want to lose that feeling behind it and let it become just another song to me.
I would very much like to hear comments from you guys about the lyrics I posted and about the song when I get it recorded.
Also, my music site on MySpace has been revamped a little bit. Here's the URL: www.myspace.com/coreyjay
It has the two last songs I finished on it in streaming fashion, and will have this one on it once I have a satisfactory recording of it. | | |
| So here are some lyrics.
2nd Best
Where would I be If I wasn't here right now If I didn't have to let you go
The smoke in the room's twisting shadows 'round the air I'm breathing and I've never felt more alone
I never thought I'd be The guy they all felt sorry for Singing songs about some silly girl who broke his heart
and I never thought I'd be Second best and nothing more Thinkin' 'bout the time it takes for memories to fade
Can I still hold on To the feelings that I felt before when I just didn't want to know
'cause I would trade my world for a feeling that was pure and doesn't seem so long ago
I never thought I'd be staring at my bedroom door hoping for someone to come and take the hurt away
Never thought I'd be Second best - Nothing more Thinking 'bout the time it takes for memories to fade
And when you don't remember me and I've moved on, and everything is back to being fine
Will these words mean anything lost inside your memory and just a stain on mine
what would I say if I had you here right now would I say anything?
just a call away in another person's arms...
Never thought I'd be The guy they all felt sorry for hoping for someone to come and take the hurt away
Never thought I'd be Second best - Nothing more Nothing more Nothing more.

| Until I die, of a broken heart...
Last night a girl that I was seeing for a while now and myself broke up and I truly feel that I will never speak to her again. It is probably for the better, but it still hurts so goddamn much, and I can't get it out of my mind. I guess these things happen, and I guess it was silly of me to think that something could work out between us.
I suppose now, I just let myself hurt for a bit, and eventually move on. If you asked me a week ago, I never would have thought I'd be in this position, ever. I feel like I was mislead and fooled, and like everything she said to me was a lie. I can't, for the life of me, understand how she could look me in the eyes and say "I love you" to me, completely of her own accord, and then turn around and behave like it was all an act, like those words mean nothing to her. Maybe I'm better off.
Song is in the works, should be done and recorded very soon. Guess what it's about. | | |
