”Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you”

Embracing change is good I think, especially if you’re an artist. Opens you up to more possibilities, enables more of that creativity to come pouring out!

Nice blog today!

I love what you wrote this morning, it’s poetic and so realist at the same time. It could maybe do a nice song talking about the moon…

its like landing on the moon for the first time. are you going to stay in the ship because it feels safer, or go tearing around, exploring?

Have a nice day!

Wow. I love this entry! I think it’s all about just taking that first step. Letting go of fear and saying to ourselves “it will be ok!” There will always be fear of the unknown, but if we don’t try and explore a little… how will we grow? Very interesting! Makes you think!

New opportunities. Endless possibilities.
How inspiring!

i thought I was going crazy when I read your tweet this morning (either I was or you were) but now it all makes sense! Love your post… enjoy your exploring… i know we are!

i’ll see you in the moon!

ill be there too. thank you david.

wow, such a positive attitude!! i’m glad that you are taking control of your own career, and embracing the changes, and new possibilities, rather than letting the woes of the recording industry set you back. haha, this is a total the glass is half full kinda thing! and its pretty awesome.

i was just going to have a lazy sunday, but now i feel inspired to actually do something worthwhile for the day. don’t know what yet, but i have to say there aren’t many people who have that affect on me! haha, congratulations : P

it must be so neat for you to be able to choose exactly how YOU want this record to be made. indeed, times have changed…finally we can say that it is the artist who is truly the one behind his/her work (in the best cases).

such courage you have jumping straight into the unknown! you occupy a lifestyle i could only ever wish to experience. this all must be so exhilarating for you…

wish i could join you on the moon!

Reading your blog this morning was exactly what i needed to get myself motivated for the next couple weeks. Sometimes change can be hard to except, but most times, change can be for the better, and it doenst mean that you have to forget the way things were before the change happened.

I love watching the video player, feels like i’m right there, part of the adventure.

Can’t wait to see you at the Richmond Winter Festival!

well.. i feel like im alone in my moon. I came back to shcool. Learning new things. New friends, new points of views, new caracters. New me. New life. im afraid yes. You’re afraid, i feel safe. Im not alone finally.

Hey David. You are truly an inspiration to us all. It’s neat that you are willing to embrace technological changes/advances as some people are afraid to. I’m really excited to see this next album come together and be wonderful like all the ones before it.
Does anyone know what time David will be on stage approximately at the Richmond Winter Festival? I’m trying to arrange getting over there for it- from Nanaimo- but it’s a bit of a juggling act between having a toddler, my husbands work schedule, and ferries, but I really want to go!!!!. Take Care, Andrea xxxx

“Moon River, wider than a mile.
I’m crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
wherever you’re going I’m going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There’s such a lot of world to see.
We’re after the same rainbow’s end–
waiting ’round the bend, my huckelberry friend,
Moon River and me.”

Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer

Although I will say that it is the face to face personal communication that, for me anyways, transcends technology and gadgetry communications. Not that there is anything wrong with these things, they can add a lot to the human experience, but when you are ill or feeling low, personally I need a shoulder to cry on and a face beside me that cares, the real thing so to speak. Sort of like a live concert, nothing beats it really.

I agree with Michael. I think that people overuse things like cell phones and blackberries. While these things may add to our lives, they can also take over them. I personally only use a cell phone for emergencies and take it with me on trips. Other than that, I don’t want to be bothered with a ringing phone while I’m out. What did we all do before cell phones? We enjoyed being in the moment with the person we were with.
The internet has opened up a whole new world for us and has allowed us to communicate in amazing ways. We allow ourselves to open up to complete strangers issues that matter to us, but then this newfound freedom can be temporary and fleeting. In the sense that we attempt to purge our frustrations and our dreams and desires for the betterment of our selves…we are really reaching out for a voice to communicate with. Only..that voice doesn’t exist in the physical. It’s a double-edged sword.
A live concert is amazing, yes, I agree. Even when David sends out a homemade video of a new song..it’s personal and that is terrific. It’s just too bad that we can’t all get kudos for the things that we do, even if they aren’t as special or as “out there” in the public. Wouldn’t it be great if we all got over 4000 people telling us every day how great we were! Not to take anything away from David, because he is amazing…it’s just that it can be depressing to uplift someone when you are not feeling the greatest and there’s no one to say “hey, you’re great too” . It’s just a thought, because there has been so much coverage lately on the impact of the internet.
I am thankful that there is some communication…I just wish we could all communicate in person:-)

Got room for one more on the moonwalk? I am about to embark on my very first journey there, recording my debut album soon! I just wanted to say that I have followed your career since the beginning of Moist, and your evolution and determination is definately an inspiration. Honestly, I just realized the other day how much some of my music has your influence in it, and it made me smile. Thank you David

I like what you wrote, it reminds me of one of my favorite quotes “ ships in harbour are safe, but that’s not what ships are made for” Sometimes we get comfortable and it’s hard to accept change and stepping out into the unknown can be kind of scary, but we aren’t meant to sit still in life. Life’s an adventure and the world is always evolving into something new and hopefully better.
