Misery Business.



so... tuesday music practical. came and went. one of my team mates dropped out DURING OUR EXAMS 3 DAYS BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE, making 4 turn to 3. Okay. What to do. We decided we had to do an acoustic song because 2 guitarists and a vocalist can't really pull off the alternative song we were practicing before. Lex and Liz (the loyal guitarists) chose a song but i didn't feel comfortable singing it so on the monday we finally settled on a song that both alexis and myself were familiar with. Lizzie grabbed the tabs and took them home. I learnt all the lyrics in a night and got to school the next day to find that poor Lizzie hadn't been able to even look at the guitar tabs because of exam revision and work. At the last minute Lizzie decided that she would perform separately to Alexis and I so she wouldn't screw it up for us and we saw the logic in it but I felt bad. Poor Lizzie would be performing at the last LAST minute all by herself. 



So, Alexis and I turn up and i'm confident that we are going to do great because I know all the lyrics off by heart. 2 lines into the song and I stuff it up. Have to start again. I felt really horrible for Alexis because I stuffed it up and also because I had know idea why I stuffed it up. I am a professional when it comes to signing, never get nervous (i wasn't nervous) and am totally unsure what happened. I think I relaxed too much. I thought "it's all good. we can do this. I know all the words" then I blew it. 

Oh well. Teachers said we did great. Sounded great too.

I have no idea what I would do without 2 of my close friends. These guys understand. They won't let me down and they know I won't let them down. We tell each other what we mean, how we mean it. 

We are aware because we've been through it.
