excerpt.2

sometimes i read through old journals and find things i don’t remember writing


It’s raining

something flooded somewhere  

I am a person, I am a live self

a monster, a pen and paper

I know you

I know how

to tell you things

take them back

wake up, get dressed

apathetic but breathing



It’s going to be a little bit longer before I actually release this, apologies, I spoke too soon!  As I am wont to do. 
Heading down south for a dear friend’s wedding this weekend.  Beach House’s new record is on repeat! 

Half-Marathon Playlist

This weekend I ran the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon for the first time and…I am so glad that’s over.  Haha, I’m really glad I did it and will probably do it again, but for now my quads are kind of mad at me.  I definitely needed my music to keep me going around mile 11 - I’m glad I made this playlist ahead of time so I could play air drums to keep my mind off of how much my knee was hurting me.

Hello friends - it’s been a bit, as I have been out experiencing this incredible globe of ours!  I was lucky enough to take a trip to Australia…and it was amazing.
But it feels great to be back in Brooklyn.  Whilst away, thinking and doing and seeing and being, I was brainstorming.  As a result, I’m really excited to get started on some new projects. 
First things first!  My official musical name is now I Am Lightyear.  Lightyear has always been a moniker in my mind, and will continue to be so (I’m not going to get on stage and say “I am I am Lightyear” because that sounds SILLY), but there are some other movers and shakers out there traveling all the miles like me, and it’s getting too confusing.  SO.  ”Lightyear” is no longer - when I am booked, I will be booked as “I Am Lightyear” - this way we all know WHO IS WHO.  
That doesn’t really change anything for anyone, as all of my social networks, websites, etc have used that full name…but eventually on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, etc, the name will be changed as well!
More soon xx
