Please don't stop the music

Leeds…

is amazing.
I’ve been so busy since I’ve been here, doing nothing and everything and generally living the university dream. But going to start posting again soon :)
Peace out x

It’s my birthday!

And I can’t sleep.
Have to work today, but wondering what it will bring :)
Peace out x

I got into Leeds! :)

Leeds College of Music

Otherwise known as Leeds College of Men, the land of dreams, the place i’ve wanted to go to for the last three and a bit years :)

I’m studying Jazz and it’s gonna be awesome. My best man-friend Samuel is already there, my best friend the Chlod is gonna be just across Leeds for some drinking/lunching times and I’m gonna be kicking back, having a rave and playing/listening to some fantastic music in my favourite city :)

2011 has just got gooood!

I’m off round europe in 6 weeks for 6 weeks! Then 6 weeks after I return I’m off to uni :) Just to fill you in, I applied to Leeds last year and didn’t get in, and went away and worked and saved up for a new saxophone and did a load of gigs, and practiced like a bitch, to audition again and it’s all been worth it. It’s just a pretty good reminder not to give up on the things that you want :)

Today I had a clear out, and started trying to decide which books to take to Leeds :P Just a bit in advance, and found allll my songs from over the years. Turns out I’ve got enough to make a pretty cohesive album. Apart from the fact they’re not very good, and I can’t sing. There’s always a cloud to my extensive silver lining ;)

Anyways, I’m so happy.
So if you wish to be happy with me, holla and we’ll drink some things.
Peaceee :) xx

BFG - Big Friendly Guide (to my life at present)

Otherwise known as one of those musicish related updates i post rather infrequently.

Hope you enjoyed the disjoined and many seperate sentences of my last textual post. I didn’t so much. Since my evening/morning is consisting of music, and since i can’t be bothered watching a film and already read a book till my poor little eyes got tired, thought I’d share some of it with you :)

New to my life is a soundcloud account. I will use it more, currently it is quite bare and features only a quickly written, sketchily recorded composition of my own, and my soul bands unmixed but funky take on ‘Feeling Good’, the beautiful Nina Simone track. Just incase you fancy a gander: www.soundcloud.com/emzy33

Who wouldn’t love it.

- I got a place at Middlesex Uni to study Jazz. Woop. Means that if I don’t get into Leeds (see post below) then I’ve secured my second choice as a backup. Woop. Pretty scared if i go to London that i’ll lose most people. Not so woop. And of course i know that you can maintain friendships if you put the effort in, but it’s got to be from both sides and i’m not naive, it happens. This makes me worried and a bit sad. In advance.

- I’m going round Europe! Many things to sort, but me, my best friend and two mighty fine backpacks are going to make it round many a European country and it should be grand x1000. :)

- I like big books and I cannot lie.
(You paperbacks can’t deny)
Apologies had to slip that in somewhere.

- Tomorrows task is to record many a backing track so I can play saxophone one week, and my usual piano the next and alternate as part of my residency at le restaurant. (And then I’m going to Leeds dressed as an emu - had to slip that in somewhere too)

- Other things are occuring but i’ll let you know when anything comes to something. Or when something comes to anything. Whichever you’d prefer.

And for now, this song is beautiful.

Maroon 5 – Better That We Break

I never knew perfection ‘till,
I heard you speak and now it kills me,
Just to hear you say the simple things.

Now waking up is hard to do,
Sleeping’s impossible too,
And everything’s reminding me of you.

Now waking up is hard to do, sleeping’s impossible too.

Today i learnt that there’s a difference between tank tops and vest tops, who knew that?!

My rookie error resulted me having to make two trips into town to resolve lack of vest top for my fancy dress haha.

I’m waiting on a letter from Leeds Music, which if it was good news I’m reckoning (by other peoples happiness) should have been here Wednesday.

So since Wednesday morning i’ve been waiting for the postman.

He’s been, twice.

I even resorted to listening to ‘Please, Mr Postman’ which is a terrible song.

Waiting out another sleepless night, feeling sick and not hungry (shocker) and drowning it all out with music.

Yes, minutes/hours till the morning, and people deciding to leave me hanging forever, this applies to you.

Waited all through college to be able to go to Leeds, and have worked for another year to get there, so just imagining not getting the chance is pretty scary.

Anyway, this weekend should be good, a chance to not think about Leeds, in Leeds. Hahahaha.

Peace x
