I used to associate myself with GREY. Not because I felt I was boring, infact I find the colour grey to be something else completely. Now I see a blue sky clear ahead, there's still grey clouds in the distance but when wont there be?
As I have come to realise, "Baby likes a blue sky", and of course, I don't mind if it's going to rain on me sometimes.
There's a lot of things that I learned a long time ago, things that I believed I was putting into practice ... or practicing what I was preaching, but maybe I wasn't. Things I don't need to run away from. Everything can now be, more or less, peachy.
There are a LOT of new songs that I'm getting ready to record. I understood today what each album I've done in the past has represented. They've literally been the soundtrack to the years of my life.
If you've in any way been a part of the last year of my life then there's something in this next record solely about and for you.
The third album is sometimes the best...

Rash decisions are not WISE
There's been a lot of upheaval in my life and in the lives of those around me recently. This week infact there's been a huge upheaval in my own city. I still haven't figured out where this all leads me in the grand scheme of things.
Something that this upheaval has brought to my mind is the use of my own name.
Almost everyone in my life knows me as Jack Summer, and that's something that now unsettles me.
I've come to the decision that I no longer wish to link my life to my music.
I feel that there will be a time when I don't want to play the music that Jack Summer is all about, but I'm sure I'll still want to be involved in the creation of music. If your music is your own name then you can't separate from that. What happens if I want to split up? For instance.
Maybe I'll resolve this issue in my mind, Maybe I'll reinvent myself, Maybe I'll cease to exist.
