this might be what a heart attack feels like
I began uploading the Garza last night but then went back to sleep for a really long time.
anyway
Davíd Garza is one of the most underrated "singer-songwriters" of the last ten or so years. Quotes are neccesary because dude fucking rocks but has a way with words that demands acknowledgment. "rocker-songwriter" maybe? I found him when he had his first major label shot in 1998, releasing This Euphoria on Atlantic and getting just enough MTV2 love to enter the conscience of music lovers but not quite enough to enter their music collections. That album was one of the best of my high school years, no matter how few people have actually ever heard it. He turned things up a notch on the 2001 follow-up Overdub, but still failed to move many units.
So he's back to being ridiculously well-respected by his peers while his talents languish in the discount bin. Fiona Apple has brought him along on her last few tours and someone picked one of his tracks in their top five for Rolling Stone. I forget who and which, i think it was someone from pearl jam and the song foul jasmine .

my chest hurts. all tightened up and shit
i need to get out of here. sooner than later. a year is not soon enough
i think i can finish this one song now. the one i was furthest along with before i kind of put it away when i decided i didnt want to be upset about these things anymore. but fuck that i feel so much more justified in my sentiments after this conversation today. and its coming so much easier (relative to it not coming at all) than when i was questioning whether or not i was right to be so angry
look at that. im even too sensitive to write songs LOLZ!
i care too much. thats what it is.
but fuck that
i cant do this alone
and i definitely am now
