The Kiss.

so here is another night were i toss and turn… i cant stop thinking about stuff and so i decide that i could be doing something more useful, because im not going to sleep anytime soon. so again i find myself on the floor in my hallway, writing another blog. ///Today was an interesting day. There’s days like today when i feel like im so much more observent. I watch things and people that i never noticed. One thing i thought alot about today was the kiss. A kiss. In my music, i talk about kissing quite a bit. It so mysterious to me. Its so powerful… even the word. think about if someone you knew or didnt know, came up to you and asked you if they could kiss you? ///I was getting coffee dismorning and every where i looked i saw kisses. haha…. sounds stupid but…but first i saw a mother and a baby and she kissed him to express her love to him. then, seconds later a man and his wife/significant other, parted ways and said bye with a kiss. ///Earlier this week i had a rehersal for this easter play that im in. Im a disciple in the scenec where Jesus is arrested in the garden. and the huge part is when Judas KISSES Jesus to show the soilders who to arrest. This intrest me a great bit…but kissing really wasnt the same then as it is now.///Back then…. anyone you greeted that you cared for, you gave them a kiss. The bible talkes about welcoming people with a holy kiss. sounds like the modern day hug.and now in our world… kissing is an exclusive act of affection that by the simple act of placing your lips to someone else’s or to the cheek or four-head  your saying that i have an interest in you. either in a passionate, romantic way, a friendship way, a family way, or in a lustful way.///And the silly thing about it is that this single gesture… can bring down walls. its can move mountains… it can part seas….. it can burn bridges….. it can start fires…. it can be the ultimate betrayal. all because of a kiss. ///So…. what are you saying Cody? I don’t know but here are some thoughts. Becarful with your lips… there very powerful…. but also don’t selfish with your lips, they could change the world. that didnt sound quite right…. but hers a closing thought….a Good kiss should be like drinking orange juice out of the carton and its the perfect temperature and you just dont want to stop. ///oh if i would not have wasted so many kisses. if i wouldn’t have closed my eyes so tight… then what? would they have gone to someone else? Don’t ever kiss someone if it doesn’t mean anything. make everyone count.///-cb

“Dying Star”

after many sleepless nights and disappointing efforts of new writing i finally think have something ready.  The Theme is adying star and how that relates to the type of life that i want to live. A star “dies” when it can no longer support the mass of the plasma. It is also the same thing as a super nova. The part where i want to tie in my life too is this…. stars are beautiful things just like people on earth.  and when stars die they become even more beautiful. So much that people refer to them as the glory of God. and i wrote this song out of the life i’m going through right now where… life isn’t so easy but everyday i want to get up and die to my own wants and my own needs and live for God’s desires and for God’s pleasure and radiate his glory in my life.  But there is another part to…. when a Supernova happens the remains of that old star make new stars.  And what if because of what God has done with me and how he has used my life, Others would come to know this peace and they could billboard God’s Glory also.Love you guys………………………………………………………………………………………………//All the stars have meaning //and all the street lights in the sky//im composed of dreams and visions and love that i cant deny//This cup you hold so tightly//revolution in my mind //opened up to new beginnings// with new tortures only in time// Lets Go Lets Go SOME HOW/RUNAWAY FROM THIS TOWN/YOU AND I//ALONE TONIGHT/GOT TO GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE/FIND MYSELF WAY FAR OUT/I’LL GET TO WHERE YOU ARE//IM THE NEW DYING STAR// if your so faithful where are you excuses?true love can only tell//I’m so tired of  ”golden calfs” and “this or thats”do you mean good and well? Resolutions seem to low to read & we try to recite them in life//of dreams and visions and whats there meaning//and if there in color or black and white . JUST WAIT TILL THEY SEE ME//ILL BE SO MUCH MOREJUST WAIT TILL HE COMPLETES ME// THEN WE’LL KNOW WHAT ALL THE PAIN WAS FOR  

Drought.

So after one of the most plentiful times of songwriting in my life i’m now in a heavy drought.Everyday I sit at my piano hoping for rain and yet it doesn’t come. Discouraged??…. a little, but im not giving up. i feel as if this year, and these upcoming months i could find a “state of grace.” I feel like its possible that i maybe be entering my prime as a writer and as a composer.I know i’m having a hard time getting of my box. I feel that sense “The Good Clue” did pretty well i have to stick to that format when i know i’m better than that. Not to be conceded nor arrogant, but i just know that if i could just open the gates of my mind wide, thats when i know that i have arrived. Thats as good as i can be….i hear thunder…Cody 

Home.

do you ever feel like you were jumped walking down a very safe street and robbed of your family, or maybe your home?im going through things now in my life were i’m wondering what if? what if it would have worked out this way or that way. or what if i never went to this one place… would it effect me in such a huge way that i wouldn’t recognize my life? or if something or someone is taken from you and you don’t get over it after seven, i mean several months… does that mean it was not suppose to happen, or that it was true and you were in the right place. i am a full believer in God’s wisdom and his awesome plan, but i found my self 20 minuets ago in grief.I once had this family, and we loved one another. we enjoyed being together, teaching each other and learning from one another. and then, as it seemed, it was a threat and it was ended…. and because i was… scared off…. i didn’t return.I have given my best effort to remain humble. I don’t have an ounce of anger nor bitterness towards anyone. but i feel as if i have been told that i will reunite with my heart because after all……home i where the heart is.
