Gotta Have JoJo

I haven't really kept up with JoJo, but after hearing two songs that she has released this year (one single, one remix/cover) I will definitely be following her now.  It's amazing to see the growth in an artist.  Even when the subject matter is same (heartbreak and betrayal), you can still tell just how much she has matured.  Check out jojoonline.com and follow her via twitter @JoJoIsTheWay.

Fighting in the Dark

I'm feeling really inspired this morning.  I know God has some amazing things in store for my life and I can't wait to see them come into fruition.  Sometimes I feel like I'm constantly on an emotional rollercoaster...but I'm learning to just live life and enjoy each moment for what it is.  I've been having a hard time sleeping the past few nights...my heart has been a little restless.  But last night was different.  I slept like a baby and woke up with a deep sense of peace.  I guess God heard my prayers and coddled me in his arms last night.  I'm so ready for anything and everything that God has planned for me.  Plus, I wrote a new song.  The lyrics are below, but you can hear the song on my Myspace page: myspace.com/lorenzbryant


My heartbeat inside tells me you are the one.

The feelings I have, no they can’t be ignored.

You’re telling me things and they’re coming out bad.

The look in your eyes, something’s holding you back.

You don’t wanna be here anymore.

So I don’t know if this is where our story ends.

Cause there’s no way that I could only be your friend.

I try to pull you closer but I’m fighting in the dark.

I should’ve seen it coming from the start.

There’s too many days and too many miles.

They keep us apart and my head’s spinning round.

I’d say it’s your fault but there’s no one to blame.

Our love was on fire yet we go down in flames.

It’s hard to tell the difference anymore.

So I don’t know if this is where our story ends.

Cause there’s no way that I could only be your friend.

I try to pull you closer but I’m fighting in the dark.

If you could only see what’s in my heart. 

Transition

With one month of classes under my belt, I'm feeling really confident about my choice to move to LA.  Our final project for the first month was a three minute film.  My group, Team Double Platinum, chose to create a film about the process of transition and the act of moving towards your future.  The dialogue uses my poem "The Call."  Hope you enjoy.

Take care,
Lorenz

* Film by ESS May 2011 Team Double Platinum
