Rock On!

I am crazy about music (as most of you would know).. I cant think of a life without music.. and the only regret I have in my life is that I never took the time to learn to play the two instruments that I love so much... The guitar and the drums... though not in that order... There is nothing I'd love to do more than play either of these amazing creations... I dont know.. Whenever I hear someone play the guitar or the drums, I feel awe (though not at that chick who was pretending to play the guitar at last nights FON)... My dear friend Ajit plays one mean guitar man... He really rocks (as he showed yesterday :)) and its all the more amazing since he learned it all by himself... A lot of credit to the man... A couple of days ago we were sitting in the lab and doing our versions of 'Hotel California' - The Eagles, 'You got to hide you love away' - The Beatles/Eddie Vedder and a couple more... as usual I was croaking along but man did that feel good...

The one song that Ajit and I like to jam to together is 'The man who sold the world' by Nirvana... He plays it really really well (due respects to the dearly departed Kurt Cobain)... Heck someday I hope to give him a sexy Fender Electric Guitar... and mabbe he could teach me how to play it too :)... For now though, Ajit, dude, i'll give you a virtual iou.. for all the great times man... keep rocking... (and learn how to play 'Black' :))

my lyrics for today:

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
I must have died alone (Alt: I must have died along)
A long, long time ago

Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World (MTV Unplugged - Live at New York)

'That was a David Bowie song' - Kurt Cobain
