Melissa's Backdrop What is this?
What song are you in love with right now? Who is it by?
"Writhe" by O, Satellite, the brainchild of Daineal Parker.
Why do you like it?
The lyrics, the production, the harmony, the intensity, the pathos and the stripped down honesty.
Why?
Soaring gas prices, living on the Far East side of Orlando and it takes me a half hour drive to get anywhere, and hellooooo, being able to instantly travel anywhere in the WORLD? What's not to love?:)
Why?
I spent hours upon hours climbing this tree, sitting in it, chilling out in the treehouse that my dad built in it, swinging from the rope swing, pretending and living and lying down in its shade. It rained golden leaves in the autumn. I miss that tree.
Why?
Because they're delicate. But weirdly so.

I'm liking the whole daily update thing you've got going on, Mel!
I have a lineup of songs just waiting to be recorded, but for some reason I'm being anal and wanting to make the recordings perfect and add all kinds of touches...
But I'd expect to see "Pagodas" (the song inspired by your story) up on Backlight by Sunday.

I'm not saying that 'your face' isn't funny. It's frickin hilarious. Just saying I keep expecting more. Come on Reyes.
And just to establish the things that are always funny are:
Your face is...
Your mom...
That's what she said.
And you should meet my mom. She's awesome.

Dear Mel,
"Your face" retort has been used too much. You need to find another one. You are smart and creative. I know you can come up with something else.
Love,
Alecia
