Me and my guitar, the lyrics are introspective. To me they have a definite meaning, but for other people the meaning is different. Some would call the lyrics
It's me and my guitar for now. I played in another band , which is on an indefinite hiatus from which it may never return, in the meantime, I'm still playing music. It's a release for me. Biochemistry is a stressful major, the guitar keeps me less insane than I otherwise would be. Things to keep in mind while listening to anything I've written (especially the things with lyrics): 1. I'm hardly normal 2. I am a Christian 3. I writes about my life, and since God is a part of that life, it's bound to come out in my songs

Story behind the song
A friend of mine once told me that I was probably a gypsy in a former life. Even though I don't believe in reincarnation, the idea was interesting, and I thought to take it a bit further by exploring a new world view where priorities are turned around. Something like Jesus asking you to go and dance instead of being stuck in the same rote existence trying to get another promotion, or outdo someone else or "get ahead"
Lyrics
I AM A GYPSY (1/05/04) I am a gypsy, come dance with me. I am a gypsy, run away with me. I am a gypsy, come dance you’ll see. I am a gypsy, find your life in me. See the world, in front of you Everyone rushing rushing To get to nowhere fast See the world, in front of me, everyone dashing dashing In their futile search. Things won’t give you joy, They never do. To you I have nothing, But I have everything I can give you joy, and I always will. I have everything, It’s really you who has nothing. Come live a gypsy’s life, With all the world to roam. Hold to nothing tightly, Don’t sell your soul Come dance my gypsy’s dance, Live free beneath the sun. Nothing left to hold you down, Nothing left to own your soul
