Lyrics
Lately it's been a world of pain
And all I want is to escape 
All those memories of tranquilized bliss 
How do we keep hanging on like this?

Been thinking about all the laughs we shared 
It turns into pantomime to pretend we never cared 
I've sensed for so long that your will's been daunted
When you stopped talking about the things you said you wanted

As we're trailing off
With failing hope to piece it together
Have we've given it all I've got?
Have we've reached the end of our tether?
When there is only so much that I can do
Wearing this heart on my sleeve 
I'll wear it all out for you 

I hate to be the one who's living in hope 
Still craving your affection at the end of the road
Just think of all the chances that we blew 
And all those weak parts we just couldn't face up to 

We used to show them that we dared
Now we're serving all the things that we fear
And it's getting heavier than what we can carry
Please don't tell me that silver lining was only imaginary

As we we're trailing on
with failing hope to piece it together
Have we given it all we've got?
Have we reached the end of our tether?
When there is only so much that I can do
Wearing this heart on my sleeve 
I'll wear it all out for you 

And all the love we thought we knew
Like shooting stars, it fades from view
You think I'd fall this hard, if I only knew
We were like shooting stars, just like shooting stars

And there is only so much that I can do
Wearing this heart on my sleeve 
I'll wear it all out for you

Chapters Missing

On My Sleeve (Feat. Zaeli)

Just look where you’re standing those closest around
The world has turned evil love still makes a sound
Illusions of grandeur left for you to find
The common goal is loud & clear your path you must define
More to life than heartache from people you don’t know
We need a dose of dopamine to get ready for the show

Smile stop singing only blues
A pleasure to meet you is there something I can do
Smile let’s see what we can do
Turn all of the anguish into something we can use

A job protecting Taylor insecurity acts Swift
Comes over like the baddest blood creates a mental rift
We’ve all gone to a dark place can’t take it anymore
Searching for a sacred way to escape internal wars
I know you have it in you to succeed at every step
Cliches are coming hard & fast rise up & do your best

 Smile stop singing only blues
A pleasure to meet you is there something I can do
Smile let’s see what we can do
Turn all of the anguish into something we can use

Smile Smile Smile Oh oh
Smile Smile Smile Oh oh

I’ll leave you with the choice of being glad or sad
Did you let the voices interfere every thought you ever had
Get by just knowing there’ll be someone in hand
Share all of the wisdom devise a simple plan
Can we all just find one reason for us all to get along
I’m hoping that your sense of sane can understand this song

Smile stop singing only blues
A pleasure to meet you is there something I can do
Smile let’s see what we can do
Turn all of the anguish into something we can use

Strawberry Icecream(Chill out)Original

Regarding your heaven, regarding your fate.
Regarding your love and regardless of hate.
Regardless of them who stand opposite you.
Regardless of me; regardless of whom.

Regarding some potion that magically takes,
any ills or bad omens or demons away.
Regarding your father, regarding the sun.
Regarding the wastelands of what you've become.

Regardless of fortune, regardless of fame.
Who made you my master? Apportioned the blame?
Who gave you the fire? Who gave you the book?
Who tipped you the wink, put me on the hook?

Regardless of mantra, regardless of chi.
The world keeps revolving around you and me.
Regarding much plastic, oh, needlessly things.
We occupy nothing, we hardly begin.

Regarding the dolphins, regarding the trees,
Regarding your worries, about all the bees.
Regarding your woman, regarding a zoo.
Regarding your politics, a who's who of who.

Regarding the rules that you used for your laws.
A con man's statistic that we all ignore.
Regarding a prison, regarding long rope.
Regarding my wishes, regardless of hope.

Entropy

I used polyrhythm with strings in triple meter and drums in simple meter for the verses. Just like that song  in 1975. More creative uses of this to follow. Also used a quartile chord found in ‘So What’. There’s a walking bass line and it is also the first to feature piano voicings that make for easier bass lines. 

Co production (cool sound effect in intro),drum editing, drum fills and instrumental mix from Blaz @a7-recording-studio

Lyrically, it is stream of consciousness with a few lines edited to rhyme. It was supposed to be about finding inner peace but I only ended up with one line about that. I am not tortured but someone else might be. Hope is a good thing. Not based on the novel with the same name as I have never read it.



I would like to thank my family (especially my parents and sister), Jinn (weren’t for her listening to the songs not sure I would have returned after a 1 year hiatus), my friends, the parents and students that I have taught (“I have been touched by your kids. And I'm pretty sure that I've touched them”), all of my teachers and the teachers for that compliment at Hulu (it’s an honor), and my listeners.

2 Quotes.
Past year has been busy with no days off. I’ve started jogging for 30 minutes and last year I finished Macroeconomics on Khan’s Academy. This year I’m onto Unit 8 of his Finance & Capital Course. I’ve gone on 2 week long business trips to Thailand and Malaysia. Since I am in this field I decided to see if I could pick up my mental maths. 

It reminds me of a quote that an Indian boy replied when asked, “what are your weaknesses?” at a job interview.

He replied, “I don’t have any weaknesses. My greatest asset is turning my weaknesses into my strengths.” 

For the longest time I thought it was a good reply but didn’t think it was possible. 
So I did some research online and all of the quant traders were using either rankyourbrain or zetamac. 
2 minute long sessions. Since rankyourbrain shut down I will only list my scores for zetamac. I began around the 40’s which was actually a ‘decent’ score by international standards.  I’d memorize the ones that I took a bit longer on and go over them daily.Then after about 20 minutes each day on both websites (2 sets of default zetamac questions) I started seeing improvement after 3 weeks. And now, I have a high score of 79 which puts me 12 points off from a rubiks cube whiz who posted his score on Youtube. If you had told me that I would be only 12 points off at the start I would have called it a miracle. Going from below average at something to above average. But, ‘miracles’ do happen like those Mexican teachers who rescue a whole class of failing students. And, there are guys who started off scoring 20’s on zetamac going on to score 90’s. And, a woman who is now a quant trader who bought elementary math books to work on. 

2 schools of thought.
“Take it easy man.”
“Sometimes the hardest thing to do and the right thing to do are often the same thing.” - Alfred

I think people don’t really pick one and live by it and its more of a mixture. So, I would encourage you to find something you think you’re bad at and work on it.
I know.
“Numbers isn’t my thing.”
I used to feel the same way. In the beginning you’ll experience frustration and disappointment. But confidence isn’t the lack of those thoughts but having those thoughts and still working through it. Keep at it and you will experience this feeling of joy that is usually not associated with maths. For only 4 mins a day. Free. A chance to see what your mind has tricked you into thinking you suck at. 

And when you do improve just remember that it is only mental maths, a very small portion of what maths actually is.



The other quote I really liked was:
“ I don't even care if they respect me. I know who I am. I've got enough respect for myself.”

An early Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all!
