Look truth is everyone deserves a rock in their life.  Sometimes you lean on that rock for strength.  Other times that rock weighs you down and at first you might be mad about it but then you realize it's just keeping you grounded and grounded is good.   

Everyone deserves a rock in their life.

Recording this was interesting because we didn't really know how it was going to turn out.  But now it's one of my favorites tracks off the new Album.

This one line imparticular came from a good friend of mine Charlie Simpson he said it to me and it rang so true I had to sing it.  "Words live on long after they're said."  I truly do try and draw from everywhere.  Thanks for the inspiration sir Charles.

So here is this weeks entry.  

"Made of Stone"
Written and performed by Vayden (with love from Charlie Simpson)
Engineered by Henk
Mixed by Mark

Lyrics

You better wrap her tight,
So she understands,
Tonight,
She deserves a man,

Made of Stone

Don't say those words,
Let them leave your head,
Cause words live on,
Long after they're said,

Made of Stone 

Life is our choice,
Death is our decision,
I make the noise,
And you all listen,

You don't know us,
What we're thinking of,
Unless you live,
For all that you love,

Made of Stone

END

MADE OF STONE

Curtis Casey is an American Born Singer Songwriter from Phoenix Arizona who was raised all over the United States as well as the country of New Zealand where his Mother was born and raised.  

“We moved around our fair share because my father was a nuclear engineer. Music and song writing with an acoustic guitar became my constant and was my safe place.  To this day whenever I walk into a room and there is a guitar in it I immediately feel welcome.”

As a half Polynesian half Irish American Curtis learned to love and appreciate music and singing of all types at a very young age and still loves the entire process of writing and recording music.  

For 15 years he toured all around Europe and the United States with his Active Rock / Nu Metal band, Vayden.  

“We were lucky we got signed to a subsidiary of Warner Music very young and they sent us all over the place to play.  We ended up recording 3 albums together and 2 EPs.”

Now Curtis enjoys the simple joy of singing nice songs in cool places to appreciative audiences.

Today he lives in Marina Del Rey with his wife, two sons and small daughter.

What is it about you?
That thing you do to me.
Someone said that I'm shining,
so why's it feel like I'm dying?
They say angels start over again,
but this wasn't in my plan.
There's a halo 'round the moon,
where this angel's going soon...
