In Search of the Right Question
What are the costs of making something great? What do the many know of sacrifice? Is it not true that you must first have, to be able to sacrifice? With nothing to give what good is it to meet with the Devil at the crossroads? What good is the answer if you were not asking the right question?

Good Copy, Bad Copy
This is not about trying to be famous or making something that other people will understand. This is an opportunity. An opportunity to make something the world has never seen before. To measure success as the initial reception of something is short sighted. If you are looking for a room with a microphone to record, those are a dime a dozen and is not this. This is a factory of art, where raw...

I am Spartacus
You are trying to figure me out?
You’ve had plenty of time.
I was here when this country was founded.
I have been here forever.
If you don’t understand by now, you never will.

Today is the first day of my wife going back to work after having our daughter. We have been lucky enough to be financially stable with me being the only one at work but we both thought it would help to have a little extra income with the holidays around the corner. I have always said to my wife…

Silence Can be Violence, Sort of Like a Raven.
Faith Ray: Come and talk to me I really want to know. Can you tell me your name…..
Carl Art: You always write like a poet. It peaks and then sustains my interest, like musical note that stays longer than it seems it would.
Faith Ray: some stuff is mine. however this is a jodeci song. but it was how i was feeling at that moment.
Carl Art: Even if you are borrowing the words from someone else, it still has the same effect. I was just talking with someone about how I thought they were quoting Plato, but the were actually quoting a rapper I had not heard of before. There have been so many people that everything worth saying has been said. But were is the fun in silence. Zack De La Rocha said, "SIlence can be violence, sorta like a slit wrist." I think he was right, and it reminds me of "the Raven" by Edger Allen Poe.

Quirky & Jitters
| C Em |
She’ll say that she is quirky
| Am C |
And I say I’ve got the jitters
We talk through the night time
If only this time be the right time
Not that I don’t want
to do right by you
Baby cause you know I do
And only a mad genius could
type as fast as you do
And only a man who’s soul is on fire could
sing like you do
Baby you might be my
only desire And
I wish I could be your...
Wonder Land
C D Am Am
I go tumbling through looking glass and fall flat on my ass
I see the mad hatter dance with the cheshire cat
In only the way the mad hatter can dance
I watch the queen of hearts in a trace
My mind was racing with ways to escape
A man introduced himself as mr. bates
I said gee man that sure is swell
How do I get out of this living hell
He said that’s simple just go back to wear...

I’ve gone through a lot, but more importantly I’ve PUT myself through a lot. We all make our own choices and I completely agree that there are some scenarios where people become completely helpless. I can no longer find sympathy for those who seek adventure by playing the victim. I’m not claiming…

I started talking with my friend Joe yesterday about recording my next album. I’m just about ready but who knows what kind of mood swing I’ll have in the next couple months. He was engineering at the studio I recorded my last EP (This Is How You Remember Me, available on itunes!) but apparently…
Great sentiment is held within these words.
