New Relient K

So on July 1st, yes Canada Day, Relient K is releasing a new cd. Well technically it is an EP, but it's got many many songs on it. It is called "The Bird and the Bee Sides" and I am truly excited to get my hands on a copy. The first song released on their myspace page is called "The Scene and Herd" and it is actually really good, for an EP song. The guitar sounds a fairly bit new for the band and quite a bit deeper and louder than normal. The new drummer seems a bit punky at points but it goes well with the flow of the song. Some of the lyrics seem a little bit odd but it works, surprisingly. Such as Matt mentioning the loss of Dave on drums in the line "a different drummer but the same old beat," but it does keep the song going at a unique pace. Another couple of these unusual lyrics end up in the song, but is all tied together at the end when Matt says, "I'm gonna say what I want, it might not be what you want to hear." The song finishes with the chorus repeated but only acoustic which is a nice touch to end a catchy new song.

I fall apart when I run away from You

May Camp is now over. 3 years in a row, I've loved it. Only saw like 2 different speakers. Can't really remember the first. The second one was aiiight. Nothing spectacular though, a little bit repetitive. Don't know why I'm talking about the speakers, I didn't mean to. I enjoyed May Camp. It was a ton o fun. I wasn't excited 'til the bus was in about Abbotsford. Then I was. No big one even happened there, but I did enjoy myself. Mostly just hanging out, learning a heck of a lot by going through some sweet, deep talks with Shane, being up early every day, screaming along to "From the Corners of the Earth," feeling God change me, being with Leah [yeah i tried to just sneak that one in there, even though it was my favorite], playing guitar, not doing the water games, taking pictures, the repeat. Holy crow! I did do a lot. Unfortunately that was my last May Camp. Being the fact that I graduate on the 7th of June and thus not able to be a member of youth, besides with music. Anyways I've blabbed on enough, that was my fun filled weekend of awesomeness.

Really, a Whole Month?

So it has been over one month since I have blogged. In that time, a lot has happened. It almost seems surreal. Shall I start with the best, or end? I shall start. Umm, I finally asked Leah out. For those of you that don't know. And she is also going to grad with me, I don't know if I've ever been so excited for something school related, or anything for that matter. From awesome to terrible, the Ducks were eliminated. All they needed was Andy McD. and Dustin Penner, and they would have won easy. Umm so I didn't go to Starfield, that was a shock, even more shocking is what happened. It was kind of weird. Oh yeah, the youth band performed in front of the congregation and it went faaaantastic. I had fun, I've sounded better but it was truly amazing. So I'm sure there is a lot more that may be of interest to you, but umm I don't really feel like writing anymore. So til next time, hopefully not a month away. But if so I will blog about the final installment of may camp.
