Why have i not been here for so long.

I love the imagery in your lyrics, I can read them and see the scene, see the thoughts behind them. Love this :)

I totally get this - particularly that last verse.
the number of times i've laid myself bare just for the chance of something more.

thankfully it did finally pay off :)

hallo Jessi btw, been a while since i wandered around and had a read of your stuff.

That's some really nice imagery - never read the books - got half way through book 1 and had to stop as I realised I hated every single character who was still alive.

Thank you James. It's really strange how drawn I am to images of spiders because I'm deathly afraid of them. In the same way I use violence and weapons in so many songs but I can't imagine purposely hurting someone. I think I need these sort of polar opposites as a way to both shield and reveal my thoughts. I don't know if that makes sense.

love it :)
something I have always always adored about your work Jessi is the haunting images your songs often paint in my mind. The more introspective songs can have me sat staring into space and pondering for ages.

And I say, someone is in placed to take away the enemy, do we ever doubt the moon and stars, or the wind when it brushes our hair and skin?
The enemy can be defeated, someone is in place to take way the enemy. someone is in place to take away the enemy..

Had to add on to your song..hugs :0)

Well if it becomes a book - put me down for a copy without a doubt. A wonderful thing to have on my bookshelves that would be.

I have been going through the sh*t lately, but I feel like it's the muse's way of keeping me on my chosen path. If life were all rainbows and puppies for me, it would make it too easy. Something in me isn't satisfied yet and it's that thing that drives me to write. So there will be time for peace and joy when I'm older. For now I'll let life spin me around until I get too dizzy and fall over and then I'll write about it. So many songs in this blog will never even be recorded, especially the older stuff. Maybe it'll be a book someday. Who knows? I'm rambling. I appreciate your comments as always James. You help keep me writing.

I will admit as much as your stuff touches me and amazes me - I often worry when I read them. I know how close your true thoughts are to your lyrics, we are quite alike in that.

But thank god for your music :) without that the issues wouldn't have such a positive way of expression or a way toward resolution. I consider you similar Ani DiFranco in my head - in that you are both songwriter's whose lyrics I can sit and read just as easily as hear you sing them. That's talent to me :) A song that needs only a voice, even if it's a voice in a reader's head is a beautiful thing.Oh and I quit MySpace after reading your comment there :) Felt damned good to be rid of it. My only social network now is twitter (oh and mFlow which I barely use)

btw feel free to not publish this comment if it's too personal - i don't mind ^^

Thanks so much James. It's so freeing to finally be off MySpace. I think some of the themes in The Enemy have been discussed in previous work but I'm really struggling with some issues so they keep popping up. I can't tell you how much your support means and I'm really glad to hear you like the song.

Wow - Jessi it never ceases to amaze me how even after all this time reading your lyrics the sheer poetry of them still blows me away. That middle verse in particular is fantastic.
