Well my dear friends, I have spent the last 9 months putting together my first record "Princess Of The Skies" and I have just received the finished pressed copies today. I have finally become what we all wish to become in this semi-free market economy, a Product! I am now an official product for sale, as well as a twenty-six minute and thirty second insight into my mind and soul. With every copy purchased I hope to give a provocative Polaroid as well, so that when you do purchase me, you get all of me, my mind, body, and soul.
It is an exciting time for me, and I look forward to the future, I truly want to share myself with the world, I want to make everyone laugh and think at the same time. I have spent the last handful of years ridding my mind and body of harmful poisons that can claim the soul of any man or woman easily, so I can be prepared to share all the love in my heart with anyone willing to feel it.
This world can truly be a cold, dark, and dangerous place, but only if you focus on those aspects for all of your waking hours.
There are times when I walk alone around my neighbourhood, and I really take in the world around me, and I could almost burst from feeling so much joy. I'm not concentrating on, how much money I don't have, all of the death in the news, or buying in to the fear that is being sold to us at every corner. I'm seeing the moon illuminate the city nightlife, parents taking their kids to karate class, or outdoor lacrosse games, people sharing laughter in restaurant windows, and people having sex in their houses....until they notice me and start swearing a lot, but I understand that, I shouldn't have been inside their room taking off my shirt in the first place. I have literally come to tears and bawled for twenty minutes staring at a mountain stream and all of its surroundings. I don't know why, I was just so full of happiness and calm at the same time, that it just happened. That's one of my favourite moments on this planet so far.
I'm saying all this, because we need to know that we all take ourselves way to seriously, we don't focus on the things that count, and we're so pre-occupied with our own ego's and material things, that we forget what life has to offer beyond all the bullshit of our North American living.
The only thing I want to accomplish with music, is to be able to take the listener/spectator away from their lives, allow them to live in the moment and appreciate it for all it's worth, because one day all the moments disappear and you're left with an eternity of looking back and reflecting upon a life you have lived.
Will all the negativity and fear that you spent your time filling your heart with be what you want to reflect upon when your body turns to dust?
Do all the material things, and emotional waste you fill your ego with, really fulfill you, do they complete you as a person?
Does drinking yourself to oblivion, make you wake up the next day and say "Man I accomplished a lot last night, and now I'm a better person for it."?
Do the clothes you buy, or T.V. you watch alter your life in a way that makes you closer to your spiritual self?
Do you even know what is going on outside of North America?
I am definitely not perfect by any means, but I know when I'm doing wrong and I learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of others and I do my best to improve myself, but it's hard in this world we've created around us. There is so much negativity spreading around like cancer, that I'm willing to bet out of all the people I know, most would prefer to hear stories about how I have failed at the things I want to achieve rather than succeed. Not on purpose by any means, they just can't help it, unless they sit back reflect and notice it. We have all been raised as a society as a whole to revel in negativity, it's everywhere you turn no matter what. That's the war I want to fight with music and performing, I want to add light to the world, make people smile and think about the lives they are leading, and hopefully make changes that will benefit them and the ones they love for years to come.
I made this record because I love making music, it fulfills a need I have in my soul.
I made this record so I can travel the world to perform it live and do everything I can do to make people laugh, because the world needs more laughter.
I made this record so I can change the world, maybe not everyone, but anyone who is willing to listen and feel what I have to say.
That all being said buy me!!! Put me inside of you...musically speaking.
Thanks to everyone who helped bring this record to light.
BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER,
Cory
