- and you WANT to get outta bed
- then it's a sign that you're in control
- your days are generally good
- you're motivated
- you're up for the challenge
- not so scared
- and the people you meet are cool
- but if not...
- uh oh...
- make some changes
- about the things that keep you lying there
- dreading.

it’s worth it if you’re into your plants and outdoors! i learn better practically and to be paid whilst i learn and work is super. each rotation is only 3months so if you don’t like a depot then you’re not there for long. i recommend it. best thing i’ve done for my career and my happiness. only problem is a low wage, but i can get by okay.

“when the winter forgot to end” by LOST BiRD
[ this is a SECRET new song, written for two good friends of mine who helped me through some real tough times two years ago. they are married now, and expecting a baby soon, and of the two of them - it’s the girl’s birthday soon ….so i wrote this song and sent it with a letter and some other gifts.
my housemate said it sounded VERY sad, but there’s still peace and hope inside of those words. i hope you guys like it ]

[ this was the title track of my debut album when i recorded under my own name…. i’ve reworked it… it feels good, man ]
“Lion Grizzly Eagle Forest Sea” by LOST BiRD
so i dreamt up this philosophy
where i just don’t think twice
because every ‘life apocalypse’
somehow worked out alright
now further in this wilderness
i glimpsed a flicker of your light
that’s how i’m standing here at your door
“sunday evening blues” by LOST BiRD
[ i have just written this today. it might not be any good…. who knows. ]
LYRICS
i’m dumb just like sunday
with the blues running free
the evening comes quickly
and falls in on me
have i wasted this time?
is there more i can steal?
won’t you spill me your heart and a cup of tea
or save me your secrets
for we might meet in the morn
similar seasons
made us similarly sore
do i worry too much?
i just want to stay warm
oh this time of year, it’s this time of year that’s all
i am in over
my head and i know i can’t swim
i wonder bout the future something awful darlin’
so in these storms won’t you let me in
you know me well
so you don’t need these songs
dressed in indifference
if you can’t sing along
i’ve known for years
that expression is lost
on the ones you love,
but i won’t give up
i’m getting by here
for a while i will stay
sacrificed wealth dear
for the love of my days
so you’ll find me in orchards
not cursing the rain
as sure as night will fall,
need somewhere to lay
