I did a contest in February called February Album Writing Month; much in the same vain as NaNoWriMo, participants are asked to write a 14-song album in a one month period (or 28 days). I epically failed, largely due to midterms and such and only finished half of the album. Maybe sometime in the [far, far, far] future I'll finish the second half, but I'm hoping to finish up mixing and recording extra vocals for the first half by the end of spring break. My concept was the iconic story The Velveteen Rabbit (hella quick read - link). This song in particular is a conversation between the Velveteen Rabbit and the Skin Horse. Musically, the album is an "experimental-pop-lulliby"; something haunting and beautiful.

Once You Are Real - Mark Sescon


Once You Are Real

Does it hurt to be real?
Does it happen all at once?
Does it hurt to feel?
How much strong can you get until you are wasted?

It doesn't happen all at once.
