Bill said it perfectly well. I don't know for others but you know how I feel about it. don't withdraw and crumble under the weight without letting me care . Cause I already do, there's nothing you can really do about it and i'll always be there.

No one has to be the glue.....in fact, glue is a very odd, unusual and inexplicable compound. It holds valuable parts together, to be sure. But parts are not glue any more than glue can be a valuable part. Be what you are. Do what you can do. But gl…

I'm Not The Glue

I had originally intended on another piece of text to fill this blog
spot, but instead, what you will read before you took it's place. It
wrote itself.

I don't come from a huge family, and it isn't
close knit. The people that loved me, that I love(d) dearly, I have
watched be diagnosed with cancer, and fade away, to become a plethora
of memories stored away in my heart, etched into my soul.


I've lost aunts,uncles,cousins... all to cancer.
My
Papaw James was the glue in our fam… Continue

Euro Site : A reminder

Hey Guys!

Been long without a sign right?

Don't worry: WE'RE STILL HERE ! LOUD AND CLEAR!!

All the Euro girls are now back to their home for a few weeks, and back on translating jobs.

We've added Bistro to the lyrics we already had.
We're going to keep adding Lyrics. However, you'll notice some disclaimers about the lyrics. Some of the songs haven't got written versions and there might be some words we're not sure. Don't hesitate to mail us your input if y… Continue

Night time



The night has come already
After a long and lonely day
The words stayed away
As the long hours flew by fleetingly

I'm rediscovering this song
Though I know all the lyrics by heart
They really sound different tonight
Some kind of strange peace settling along

The quiet rythm of his verse
Charming the words back
and I feel empty and calm
as they settle on the tips of my fingers

The scent of the winter night
the sea of my f… Continue

Spencer Bell and 100Monkeys music on a college radio station

I am sorry I have not been here except to lurk for a while. Work is keeping me busy as we are merging two hospitals into one facility and I have an outside project that is occupying my time.

I came across this post at the 100Monkeys music site and wanted to make sure people knew about it. Here is the post

" Have a hard time waking up in the morning? Wish 100 Monkeys and Spencer Bell got more radio play?? Tune in Wednesday mornings with me @ wsinradio.org and listen to my college radio show tem… Continue

Spencer Bell Legacy Project

A new album of Spencer songs to come and an idea....

As you maybe know, Ben Johnson is working out West (in all of his spare time) to get Spencer's new album mastered - with the goal of having the Dallas show also serve as a release party in April.

As with all of these posthumous projects, the goal is to keep it real to Spencer's memory and to utilize his own art (some of it actually created to be used for future album projects - as Feudal Brutal was).

But I have an idea for an album (down the road).....What about an album next year that i

MeetMeInMontauk

I saw your father in the hall, his ghost is living in the walls. ..

...I heard him crying while you slept, I heard him breaking things after you left. I watched you crawl into my bed, with curses spilling from your head. You said "We're just the walking dead", So I pulled the trigger and we floated off.

'I compulsively write.
With addictions fresh in mind(if your reading this book in order). I think my biggest addiction is writing.
Not so much song writing, or poetry, but just writing.
I swear to God as soon as I closed this book just minutes ago, I opened i
