Hey, my name is Renee, and this is my music. I'm 20 years old and live in a small town in New York.. I hope you enjoy my music, I will only get better, and when I know that people are listening, it makes me want to write music even more. Tell your friends about me and talk to me! Don’t be shy! I love talking to you, and I promise, I will do my best to reply.
So, basically, I’ve been writing songs for a few years now, and It’s been about a year now that I’ve been putting them up for awesome people to listen to. I plan to do this for a real long time. So I figure, I can only get better, right?
Well, I've been learning a lot of new instruments, and I'm really excited to work with all these new sounds this summer.
Mainly, I play guitar, but I have been picking up on the ukulele and some other instruments too.. so hopefully I'll be able to add the extra sounds to my music soon..
"An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christthe Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."-Luke 2:9-14
oh, wow. be careful! yeah, I don't think it's a good idea to drive either. don't most people walk anyway? lol. if you're driving fast in snow and rain, I hope it's for a realllly good reason..
Ohh, that doesn't sound too bad. When do you finish? I finish most of my classes this week but next week I have a math final earlyyy in the morning so once I do that, I'm free! Haha.
Yes, I'm just hoping she lets us present early so I don't have to go to school that day haha. Oh supermassive black holes, cool. Like the Muse song XDD get working on it!
Yeah, tell me about it. I can never find that balance haha. Awe, well at least you have some that will stick around. As long as you have people who have your best intentions at heart then it's all good. (:
Mhm, we got to choose our topic so that's why I'm excited for it. Otherwise I hate projects lol
Ah, yeah, I know the feeling. Is it just me or do professors pile up everything at once on purpose haha
don't be slackin' Renee! we got enough musicians who join the music career and then just give up. besides, your music's actually worth listening to! not to mention, you're quite cute. ;)
Yeah. I need Christmas/Winter break to come, like you have no idea, haha. I've been trying hard to focus on school because I have a lot of work but it's hard to manage both a fun social life and do schoolwork. there's never like a balance but I manage XD Oh, and I'm doing a Powerpoint on Indie music! I'm excited about it haha
OOOOOOOH! I used to love awesome comments on my papers, but I hated them at the same time. I remember I had ONE class where the professor would pick just my work every single time and to talk to the class about and use as example of how a paper should be. People didn't like me because of that and it wasn't my fault I did better than the rest. HAHAHAH! It's funny now, but back then it was depressing because I had no friends in that class.
I've been sick the last couple of days, but I think today I feel better, other than a mild stomach ache that's going away right now. Also, I just downloaded an album called "The Listening" by Lights. Have you heard of them before? They're actually really really good. I didn't know about them until I saw they were the top searched albums on Myspace. Hahaha, so I thought, "Alright, the cover looks cool, never heard of them... Maybe they're good." And they're GREAT!
Oh that's cool. I'm doing the same actually, busy with school. The profs always pile up things over the holidays apparently haha. My friend came down for Thanksgiving break from Sarasota (near Orlando) so I hungout with her yesterday.
