You know in my dreams
Everything always goes differently
Books and movies have poisoned our minds
Into believing in Happily Ever After
The question remains at hand
What exactly happens when you get what you want
Are you finally satisfied
Or do you go on seeking more?
Do you ever just want to throw it all away?
See if the next hand dealt might be
Anything or everything better than here
Can I close my eyes and wish for another day?
Stop all the talking
Some things you can't take back
Holding the tongue is a martial art
Only few have mastered it
I can't take the lapping of the niceties
I crave the storm on the horizon
Reach out my sands to invite it to my shores
Raise up and meet it with equal resilience
Can you take me with you as you dissipate?
On to the next universe
Fading in and out of existence at our pleasure
Molding ourselves to the fates

Rev Coffee Represented at Eddie's Attic!
Hello All!
So this has turned out to be a pretty interesting week. First I'll rewind back a few weeks and let you guys know how well the festival went. It was super hot, but we had some great performers and a really good turn out. I defiantly met some really cool people that I hope to stay in touch with in the future! Tomorrow, of course, I'll be at Rev. We have had some great new talent come in lately and I'm excited to see some of the bands coming up there. On the 19th, Cavan Cross will be performing and on the 26th, Rachel Leigh will be gracing us with her musical abilities! Talking about Rachel Leigh, both of us will be at Eddie’s Attic Open Mic on Thursday. I'll be there around 7:30, so come on out and support Rev's locals at Eddies!
Some updates on Minutes to Live... we have about 3 hours or more worth of material. It's everything from the 60's and up. If you have a party or event you'd like to have live music for, please keep us in mind! We have a drummer for larger performances and I'm currently playing bass on quite a few of the songs. It's actually pretty fun and I have definitely gained a lot of respect for bass players in general!
Otherwise, still working on the new album and trying to finalize the songs that will be on it. I do have 2 more songs I recently wrote. I've played one of them out and it went over pretty well with the crowd. :) I'm still trying to iron out the 2nd one, but I should be playing that one out pretty soon. Again, thanks for the support and I look forward to see everyone out soon!!
Love, peace and music...

Rockin' in the Real World
Wow! What a great night last night at Eddie's Attic! I sang back up for Nimara on her song Funny Face and we got lots of amazing feedback. :) While Nimara didn't make it to the final round (this time), she was still a shinning star among some fantastic artist! The professionalism displayed by the artists was notable... I definitely took a lot away from the experience... including my own date to play. So make your calendars for August 31st at 7:30.
Talking about marking dates, the 2nd annual AIF music festival is quickly coming. It will be at Coan Park (1530 Woodbine Ave SE, Atlanta, 30317) again this year on May 30th, starting at 4pm. We have some great groups coming to play including Takiya Lovechild, The Divide, WAR, The Dawah Ensemble, and our ever favorite The Wayne Fishell Experiment. You can buy tickets and find out more on the festival website http://events.signup4.com/aifmusicfestival.
Also, I've finally gotten onto the twitter bandwagon... I really blame the ungodly amount of time that I spend listening to NPR. I figure if Jim Lehrer twitters... haha. To follow my musical adventures in real time, go to http://www.twitter.com/kerrywentworth.
Love and music!

The Critics and Cynics
True fears are completely unfounded
to anyone looking in
clicking their tongues and shaking their heads
deep down they understand
blame is no where but in the actions
that is masked by saying
"it's what's best"
truly it's just,
now in the shade of the day,
wishes for the courage
to have done it a different way
There comes a moment where
empathy is no longer an option
sympathy is the only thing to give

Looking Forward
I feel more like myself today than I have in a while
The burdens of the near past are shedding
the coils of of the dead and dry flaking away
What kept me from sleeping just a few days back
Now barely passes in my head
melting shame
The heart of my inner self is waking now
After being near death for so long
Comatose filtering in animation once again
The leisure of looking around me once more
instead of only down so not to miss
The quiet beat
Opportunity with neon sign saying here! here!
lighting up in green, reds, and blues
The electricity is catching in my bones
The time of today, the lessons of past
melding into something more like
the me

Kind words will unlock an iron door - Turkish Proverb
This past weekend was very busy musically speaking. Friday night, Mike and I opened for one my friend’s bands at Rev. It was a very big crowd and the feedback was great! It was our first time playing out together as a duo and hopefully this will be a continuing trend. Saturday was amazing. The speakers at Not in Our Name were very moving and the food was phenomenal.... like usual. Anyway, this weekend turned out a new song as well, one that I think is playing out worthy. I think I'll try to get it down and play it next week at Rev. Russ and I have been talking about putting something together sometime soon for a show at Rev in the near future, and Jon and I have been brainstorming an Alison Krauss/Nickel Creek cover type band with Barefoot. Lots of irons in the pot; so keep visiting and I'll keep updating! Much music and love!
