But I Need You Here.

Rach and I

My best friend Rachael is a marvel. She is a singer and songwriter who can also play music. My friend Jeff produces music. The two of them have a band and have done for sometime now and are in the process of making their first CD. Rachael writes all the lyrics and sings it, Jeff writes and makes all the music.

Jeff and I

I am a fan of all their songs, naturally. They have one song though that is my absolute favourite.It is called 'Here' and it is a very dark, deep track and it makes my heart ache everytime I hear it. I love it so much and play it whenever I feel in that 'deep dark' type of place. I don't necessarily mean depressed, I mean moments of deep thought, confrontation or should I say personal conflict. Analysing and questioning choices I make and whether I did the right thing... and so on.

It is a beautiful track. I just adore it.
Last night and this morning I think I have listened to it 100 times (Maybe not that much but a lot).

I was in 'that' place. It got me to thinking, as well as events of last night, and has now made me want to use that piece of music in a solo performance piece I have to write and display in November. It came to me last night what I wanted to do, and how I wanted to do it.

I don't want to say what the piece is based on as I am not entirely sure who is and isn't reading this, and when the time comes I will be having filmed and will reveal it. I am only going to inform the appropriate people (Ie: Rach and Jeff, Andrew and Jenny. And then Salmiyah to help with movement.) what I intend to do with it, and hopefully get their collabortation to make it all come together.

I still need to ask Rach and Jeff if I can use the music, but I am confident I will get the go ahead.

I want to hide away today... so for now, here is a blog post.
