As we move through or lives in haste, don't forget to take time to breathe.

Yoga Breathing

It's not about what you're running from. It's about what you're running to.

Fight For Flight (I Felt It All)

I am an ever growing and changing being, in love with the journey.

From Which I Came

My Own Way

My brother, Elliott, gave me a call the other day, and I found the conversation that followed to be relevant and informative to what this new musical project is all about.
If my memory serves me well (it usually doesn't), the conversation went as follows....roughly.
*ring* *ring*
Me-"Sup, bro?"
Elliott-"Sup, dude."
Me-"Oh, just hangin' out; taking a stroll with a pretty lady. What's up with you?"
Elliott-"Want me to call you back later? Or do you have a minute."
Me-"Nah, I've got a minute. What's up."
Elliott-"Dude, what's this music project thing?"
Me-"Lockheart Sindex?"
Elliott-"Yeah, the f**k is that?"
Me-"Haha, what do you mean? Like, what does it mean or..
Elliott-"Naaah dude, like f**kin what's it all about? I saw your post or whatever, "writing music from your feelings" or whatever..."
Me-"..yeah.."
Elliott-"...but, like, that doesn't tell me sh*t. What kind of f**kin music are you making, dude?"
Me-"Hah, I don't know, dude, it's hard to explain..."
Elliott-"..try.."
Me-"...I mean..okay,,well, it's way more mellow that what I've done in the past..like with South Street.."
Elliott-"..okay.."
Me-"...and it's pretty melodic..and it the whole piece flows pretty smoothly from one song to the next...
Elliott-"..uh huh.."
Me-"And it's got this over all feel to it. It's like.....say you wake up early in the morning, around 7, and it is a beautiful day. I mean like, sunny and 75 with a light warm breeze that is gently billowing the curtains of your open window. And as you open your eyes and take in the soft morning light, your mind and body streeeeetch to wake up. In this awakening you are hit with the rushing weight of reality and the responsibilities that come with; the worries; the regrets; the failures; the successes; the expectations...all of it..and instead of turning and going back to sleep, or making busy work to avoid it all, you sit and you let it all sink in. You accept the weight of life. You study it. You learn from it. You deal with it. You grow with it...and once you have taken the time to really wake up; mentally, physically, spiritually, you find yourself energized a prepared to rise like the sun, moving forward into the day....the songs are pretty mellow, but some have really big builds and orgasmic climaxes and what not.."
Elliott-"..."
Me-"...so yeah...I guess I want my music to be, like, playing in the back round of that little meditation...or maybe; my music is a result of what that meditation has lead me to discover in my life or something...I don't know..but, yeah."
Elliott-"Nice dude. Should'a' just said that sh*t in the first place."
Me-"Hahaha maybe I'll just type up this conversation and post it as my explanation."
Elliott-"You should, dude."
Me-"I'll get on it."
Elliott-"Word. Wait, what's the instrumentation?"
Me-"Uuuhh..uke, piano, drums, bass and some acoustic and electric guitar...and me singing."
Elliott-"Word, dude. Sounds preeetty sweeeet. Well I just got to my house so I am gonna go."
Me-"Word dude. Thanks for the prompt. I'll catch you later."
Elliott-"Yup. Later."
