Soft hearts and steel strings

I can serenade :) thankyou abby.
Studied so long with James, Jenny, and Abby; i'm surprised we're not sick of each other.
mixed feelings, but i' know what i'm going to do and that feels nice.
I haven't been myself, and, quite frankly, I hate it.
no subtlety, yeah? that's me. I like you if i like you i love you if i love you i hate you if i hate you.



Was in a really bad mood, then i stumbled upon this video^
It sounds best blasted from my speakers, the piano, cello, beats intertwined.
I love how you can see schmidt and nelson's passion. (the smiles are amazing, no? pure pleasure)
Doing what you love.
I want to find that, whatever it is.
I can't decide whether i love watching or hearing it more
Boo on viva la vida (i'm just not a fan)
Dexterity, talent, passion, drive
Oh, and the dedication helps to soften my embittered heart:

http://www.jonschmidt.com Hi...Jon Schmidt here. This arrangement is dedicated to Sarah, my 7 year old daughter who loves the song Love Story by Taylor Swift. Because of a common rhythm element between the tunes, I decided I could mish/mash the two. My great friend Steven Sharp Nelson (cello percussion) really makes this tune. (http://stevensharpnelson.com )

The download will be available from my site (http://www.jonschmidt.com) in a couple of weeks.

The entire album which will be titled "Bonus Tracks" will be available on iTunes summer 2009. Sheet music will also be available at my site May 2009.

I am an unsigned recording artist and composer.

All songs from all my albums can be listened to for free on my site: http://www.jonschmidt.com

I have transcribed many of them for piano. The first 2
pages of each song can be previewed before purchasing.

There are also several free song and sheet music downloads including All of Me PDF and MP3

I am also on I-tunes, Amazon, etc.

Edit: Okay, I can't help but repeating this cover over and over again. It makes me feel incredible, to feel the harmonies and melody flood over me, taking me elsewhere (And I generally would rather be anywhere but here). Its magnificent. I am truly, madly, deeply, head over heels. Who said you couldn't love THINGS? I love the softness, the quiet way the beats crescendo until the piano begins, combining with the gentle rhythmic plucking... oh dear god i love it. i want it. i need it. breathe it. in, out, can't have enough, i need more. Something ethereal, something that can ground me. Something magickal. I feel the notes cascading down, through me, and i'm blessed just to listen, i don't i can't i won't leave any mark on it, but to pass it on to others.
Maybe you can feel the same? Maybe I am overly romantic.
