Rain Nation

yesterday i was eager to finish up one one my song. but i failed. maybe i'm sleepy or something. i found that my songwriting process is damn fucking slow. i want my creation to be perfect. i just dunno why.. great songwriters like john lennon prefer 'on the spot approach', to capture the moment of it, for me writing one song took me like...forever. that's why everytime we jam, i dont really had much to offer to the guys. half finished lyrics and songs. i really strive fo perfection (but my songs fail lah) maybe tonight will try to finish up a rough version of "Rain Nation", something like a story telling based song, hmmm..something a 'ciplak' styles from The Beatles- Yellow Submarine (the song that they wrote to tell that they were high on acid, thus reflecting the lifestyles at time, the 60's, psychedelic lifestyle. even George Harisson once admitted that the acid/LSD give them some kind of new inspiration in their songwriting (i hope i don't need that to write a song). all the bj are too 'kwai chai' to try that, we don't even do fag, i wonder how can we progress to acid. let us remain clean. and we're way to clean to be a musicians esp for playing rock music.


Rain Nation

The place is dark and gloomy,
The people there is never happy,
And it's weather is way to chilly, for ordinary person,
like you and me
Come and stay at the Water Inn,
Stay if you sorrows never ends,
Like rain waters dripping in,
soaked the place every litle inch...

*(that'some part from the verse, it sounded like Muse'sque kind of style)

when i wrote this, i was really in a bad bad bad depressing mood. i was looking for a job at that time then there's one of this motherfucking company that giving some problems. they wanted to hire me, later they said they don't want to hire me. i fucking pissed on that day (a dark and gloomy rainy day + depression/bad mood), thus i came up with 'Rain Nation'.
