"My Vow To You" - Oh, & Happy New Year!

'ello clovers,

I can't believe it's 2013, 2012 flew by! I graduated from University with a (BA Hons) degree in English & Music, moved back to Ireland and decided to go forth to train to be a surf instructor. Random, i know! But hey, why should everybody fit a certain mold... whether it's music, sport, literature, travelling, art, science, whatever takes your fancy. I say just go for it. Don't let anything or anyone hold you back. You're the only person who can decide what they can and can't do at the end of the day - so why not just go for it?
Anyways, no matter what, music will always be my number one. So - new year, new original. Sound good? Here it goes. I hope you enjoy it - please spread the word if you do!

lovelove,
clo.

Lyrics

Another hotel room you stay

Another unknown number rings me

Another conversation wrapped with if’s and but’s and neverminds

Another girl calls your name

Another day I feel ashamed

Another time I fell for you and all your if’s and but’s and never minds.

(Chorus)

But maybe we need to wrap this up,

I took a sip out of your devils cup,

I realise this wasn’t meant to be,

It wasn’t easy, But it’s worth it for me.

Another hour passes by

Another minute feels sublime

Another beat my heart has skipped no thanks to you

Another boy will take your place

Another smile put on my face

Another moment I can breathe easily and no more if’s and but’s and neverminds

(Chorus) x 2

Sometimes things...

Sometimes things just click. It's like a little light switch that makes everything seem just that bit clearer.

So, I've just turned 22. I have finished up with University and am set to graduate in July. I have everything to aspire towards, yet I have no idea what I want to be. It's complicated. Once there's a plan in place you seem to want anything else but it, however, when there is no plan and the world is your oyster, everything seems just that much more scary, and realistic.

Who knows what the next few years will bring... but to be honest, I cannot wait. From here on out I can do whatever I want, I can become whatever I aim to become, even if I choose not to become a full time musician, I'll always have music.

Although the prospect of 'adulthood' and growing up can be daunting, I am more than ready for the challenge.

Dear future - I'm ready.

SPIDERS.

Even the word makes me shiver.

Okay, so. I can't say I have many fears. But ever since I can remember spiders were a major dislike of mine. They're cool doing their own thing, making webs and what not. But, when they come into MY house. This opinion of mine changes.

It's not like I perch myself up in it's web, so why does it make its home in mine? It literally has the whole world to live in, but nope, decides to live with me. Great.

ANYWAYS, the reason for such a random blog post is this.. I had a lovely day, towards the end of the night I watched a bit of late night tv and was off to bed. Go down to my bedroom, turn on the light and see this blurry black vision in the corner of my eye.

Now, firstly, this light in my room is one of those energy saving lightbulbs, it takes a few minutes to kick into full power, therefore, leaving me in this unknown territory for what seemed like an absolute age. Meanwhile I'm standing in my room, squinting, trying to make out this massive blob on my wall.

Light eventually kicks in, much to my dislike, as by this stage I'm pretty up close and personal with this MONSTROSITY. There literally was no other way to describe it. I nearly fell off my bed with utter shock.

This thing was the size of my hand, it had fangs the size of my nails. Absolutely effin' ridiculous for Ireland tbh. How could something grow to this sort of caliber in such a terrible climate. It seems to me that since I've been growing up the spiders have been getting bigger and bigger also. Not cool.

Got a bit side tracked there.. moving on, I was left in this position. Everyone else was asleep in the house. I couldn't ring for back up. &To be honest, it was too big to fight.

So I was left with no other option than.. to suck it up in the hoover.

Now, this was not a drastic decision. Oh no, I sat there and envisioned what would be the best option to remove this animal from my room. I couldn't kill it. I couldn't capture it in a glass, as no glass was big enough. I had to hoover it.

So, I plug the hoover in, take the top off the hoover so it only has the thin bit at the top (perfect for spider catchin') and I place it directly in front of this monstrosity. Now, I considered many a possibility, the spider could jump, I could jump, everyone in the house could wake up. But y'know what, I thought it was the best option I had. So I took my chance, pressed the on button and sucked up that fecker. Not with ease may I just add! It gripped to the wall with all its might, but I got it in the end. I then proceeded to run with the hoover out of my room and into the study, slam the door and that was that.

But now I'm left with this uneasy feeling, wondering are there any more? Ughhh, I hate spiders. I'm gonna stay up until sunrise, or until someone else in the house wakes up. Get comfort and pity off them and then go to sleep. Plan.

Ciao. x

Bye YouTube.

Okay, so I have to admit YouTube has been getting to me lately. Unlike other YouTubers eg. Beauty Gurus etcetc. I don't receive anything from putting up videos on YouTube, literally nothing. I put in so much effort in my videos just because I want to do it for you guys, because of the support. However, it gets to the stage when I feel that I put in too much effort for what I get in return.

Constant criticisms and picking out every little mistake.

It gets old.

I want you guys to understand that I'm not obliged to do this, to try and balance university, job, family and friends, with constantly uploading/making videos. Especially, when I feel that no matter what I do, it's not appreciated by alot of people.

I look at other YouTubers, who all make friends with each other and promote themselves on their channels. All they supply is a constant level of fakeness and telling people what they want to hear, abiding by the certain "i'm so funny/smiley" attitude.

I always tried to stay out of that game, the whole promoting of other people and not being true to who you are. This "game playing" attitude, only be-friending people due to their subscriber count. Nah, not into it.

However, I must say, it works out pretty well for most of them.

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is. I think I'm going to put YouTube on hold for awhile. I'm not sure how long yet, but whenever I get my passion/want back for recording videos. I'll be back.

Bye YouTube.

Ohhh Adele!

So, I think she's amazing, much like everyone else these days. I was checking out a few covers of her song "Hometown Glory" and thought to myself, I want to do something different with that song. Now, this is my first time using Garageband, I was using a built in Apple Macbook Pro microphone. But like, it ended up turning out pretty well for my first go at it!

Hello CLOVERS!

All the entries were great, I must admit. But the one that stood out most was Clovers.

I actually really like it!

I'm so happy now that I have a name for you, a special one that no other "fans" are called!

The cover I was requested to do was 'Toxic' by Britney Spears, I decided to do a much more chilled version, compared to the original pop-tastic track.

So, I really hope you guys enjoy it &are having an amazing summer, packed with picnics and beach get-aways.

Much love Clovers!
