A confusing few days

I'm bewildered to be honest. The last few days have been really hard to take in and process - and for a champion over-analylist such as myself it's become a stressful time.

Electralyte, my band, is basically what I'm about at this point in my life. As such I'm constantly treading a thin line between a having positive, focused passion and a dangerous, all-encompassing addiction with it all! If anyone's got any advice they can lend then it would be greatly appreciated! I'll try and explain the current low down without giving away too many personal things that I shouldn't...

Basically, we've recorded a few songs and we've got some industry interest because of it. That's essentially the story. But this is the first interest we've had and it begs questions about our existence - why indeed do we exist? In fact it's really helpful to write this stuff down - it helps me to clear my head: my friend told me a cool quote, by Francis Bacon, which is ‘Reading maketh a full man, ... and writing an accurate man’. He really knew what he was talking about! I know there's not much to read about Electralyte, but writing my thoughts down helps me loads.

We're a Christian band - so we exist to give back our talents and our worship to God. That's reason one. The second is that we want to tell others about that through our music. Both very good & wholesome Christian band ethics. The problem is a question of positioning... I'm sure this is something that I won't suss in one Blog.

The band is exciting - it's a great thing and I hope the Salvation Army will be proud to call us their own. It's been a rollercoaster ride - both in terms of vision and purpose but also in practical terms - our friendships with each other in the band, finance issues, and questions that arise from living a real life, practical faith.

I'd better sign off there. In conclusion though I'm not saying 'Stop the rollercoaster - I wanna get off' instead that I wish they'd installed sick bags for the ride!

Thanks for reading!
