So I’ve been working on a new song, and today when I came home I decided to demo it. Leave comments/feedback!
It’s up on myspace, and if you want an mp3 of it, just let me know (give me your email add if I don’t already have it) and I’ll send it to you!

EDIT: Download it here!

Should’ve Said Something

I drag this cigarette
Just to pass the time
I confess I’ve been doing everything just to get you off my mind
But nothing seems to work
Oh we’ve had time
We’ve had distance we’re miles apart for sure
We’ve had distance we’re miles apart for sure
I wish we were closer
I wouldn’t feel so terrible
If you were here
Oh I planned and I planned and planned

Should’ve said something just to make it work
Should’ve said something just to make you stay
Should’ve said something
Should’ve said anything

Should’ve said something just to sort it out
Should’ve said something before you went away
Should’ve said something
Should’ve said anything

I drag this cigarette
Just to pass the time
I confess I’ve been doing everything just to get you off my fucking mind
But nothing seems to work
Oh we’ve had time
We’ve had distance we’re miles apart for sure
We’ve had distance we’re miles apart for sure
I wish we were closer
I wouldn’t feel so terrible
If you were here
Oh I planned and abandoned my plans

Oh I planned and I planned and planned
Oh I planned and abandoned my plans

And so, I haven’t written anything new here in ages. The occasional gig update here and there, and random post once in awhile. I’ve just been busy doing so many things I haven’t felt like sitting down in front of the computer and putting my thoughts down into words. Anyway, this blog isn’t dead.. not yet anyway, but I’m going to spend less time (than I’ve already been doing haha) on it- I’ll still keep it updated with gig info (there’s always facebook for that as well if you don’t check this blog regularly). And when I do start posting.. well I will start posting. My blog isn’t my biggest priority in life right now. Got loads of shit going on, as well as loads of fun to be had.

In other news, I won the acoustic showdown at urban attic, and I won a free song recording. I recorded A Million Different Weddings, and I have uploaded it onto myspace. It should be downloadable there. If you can’t get it, just ask me to email it to you. I’ll upload it onto a file sharing site as well, soon. Finally, a studio recorded song available for download! It’s kinda raw, but it’s of good enough quality for your listening pleasure. Spread the word, share it with all your friends! I’ll try to get the song out on radio etc. Hopefully it’s good enough to be picked up

Thanks to everyone who came and supported me on Wednesday you guys were awesome. I love you all!!!
Anyway, as you know, the winners of the showdown will get to perform a full 45 minute set this coming Wednesday (10th of June) at 10pm, Urban Attic, Cap Square KL. Hope to see you guys there!

And for those who’ve never heard 2storeyheart before, or if you wanna introduce someone to my music, come for the show! Bring your friends! and family! I’ll be doing quite a number of songs on the night! I haven’t finalized my set list yet, and I’m open to suggestions. If you wanna see me play a song, leave a comment and I’ll do my best to include it in the set list (if it isn’t already there).

The facebook invite for the event is here. On Monday I’ll be heading to the Wasp studios to get a song recorded I’m not sure how many songs I’m gonna be doing, but I’m pretty pumped to do it!

And thanks to Vanessa for recording this video of me:

According to the organizers, the acoustic showdown event will be starting on time. Which means 10pm.
I’ll be there 6+ for sound check and all so if you’re afraid you come to early and you’ll be all alone, don’t fret, I’ll be there, heck all the finalists will be there

Once again, cap square kl, urban attic.
10pm

for every rm10 you spend, you get 2 votes- one for a solo act, and one for a band. I’ll be playing for the solo category, so if you are supporting me that’s where you should write my name :p

hope to see all you lovely people tonight!

Apparently I was on hitz.tv for my new year’s eve performance I did earlier this year (I heard my embarrassing interview was screened too haha) but I didn’t manage to catch it- I wasn’t even aware of the screening times. But today! (Monday)
I will be on NTV7 at 9am. The breakfast show I think.

I will be interviewed and I’ll probably get to play a clip of a song. It’s all for promoting the acoustic showdown finals- getting more people to come to the show and hopefully get me more votes

So, if you happen to be awake at 9am or have tv in your office this morning, then flip on to ntv7 to catch me! record it if you can, and post it on youtube haha. I’d like to see how I look on tv.

Again, I’m performing this Wednesday at Urban attic, do show your lovely faces! And drink to vote! XD

If you don’t already know, I made it through the heats of the urban attic acoustic showdown (thanks to everyone who came and supported me! couldn’t have done it without you).

I’ll be playing in the finals on the 3rd of June. That’s Wednesday night. It’ll be at 10pm, Urban Attic, Cap Square kl.

Same voting as the heats- winner is determined by the number of votes received. For every rm10 you spend, you get one vote for the band category, and one vote for solo (which I’m competing in). Bring all your friends! Vote for me! I really want to win this so badly! First prize is 1k in cash and I get to do a couple of recordings with this new studio. It would help me financially and it would also help me get my music out there!

In other news, I’ve been busy writing some new tunes, and I have some new material (incomplete), so expect some new demos soon

I received this email a few days ago. I’ll be playing for the french world music festival at the la bodega stage. It’s a free gig, and there’s gonna be loads of other acts. I’ll be playing a 30 minute set, so if you haven’t seen me before, here’s your chance for the full 2sh experience! (hahaha)

Oh and last night was the first time I got recognized in public. I was in a club looking for my friends when suddenly this guy starts staring at me as if he knew me. When I got closer he approached me and said something like ‘Hey! I’ve seen you before!’.
I was like ‘You have?’.
‘You played at urban attic the other night right? I was there supporting my friends- theory of change. You sang the friendster song! Great stuff man!’
I got a pat on the back or something, and we parted. That was a funny, weird moment. haha

To everyone who came to support me on wednesday night, thank you very much. I love you all <3
I made it to the finals, so see you guys on June 3rd!

Tonight (saturday) at 11pm, Urban Attic, Capsquare KL I’ll be performing again. Luna, the organizer, sent me a message saying that they were going to promote the finalists by letting them play 3 songs and get interviewed. So yeah, if you happen to be in the area tomorrow or you have nothing to do, just drop by! I’ll promise I’ll do my best to put on a good show

You know you’ve been on the LRT for much too long when you see relationships grow. I started taking the train to work about a year back? Maybe even longer, I don’t remember. When I first started taking the train there was this girl and guy who got one at different stops (one after the other) and they got off at the same stop as me.

When I first saw them, they weren’t really close. They mostly stood against the wall of the train, engrossed in their story books they would bring. When they got off the train, they would sit/stand next to each other waiting for the bus or taxi. And when they got on the bus/taxi they would sit next to each other, but they would hardly say a word to each other.

As time passed I saw them talking to each other more. And soon they weren’t reading books anymore, but chatting instead. At this point I stopped taking the LRT for awhile (cos of the landslide, I wasn’t staying at my place in ampang) and drove to work instead. Fast forward to early this year.. I think February/March, when I started taking the train again, I noticed the both of them again. But this time, they were holding hands and cuddling with each other!

It felt special. It was like watching a little bud bloom into a pretty flower.

Alright, I have some bad news.

I’m not going to be releasing my EP anytime soon. Nope. The reason due to the sudden outburst of bullshit all over my life recently, I don’t have the money to finish recording all my songs- not anytime soon anyway. But not all is lost- I’m going to finish recording at least 1 or 2 songs, and release them as singles. Probably through radio stations (if they pick them up), the internet and maybe CDs at shows.

So in the meantime, I’ll concentrate on performing (hopefully getting more paid gigs) and demoing/writing new songs. It wasn’t my choice, I know I’ve been hyping and talking a lot about my upcoming EP, but I didn’t ask for shit to happen and so here I am just dealing with it.

Which brings me to my next point-

Gig #24
Urban Attic’s Acoustic Showdown
Urban Attic, Cap Square KL
10pm onwards

I’ll be playing on the 20th of May (heats), so bring all your friends and buy loads of drinks and vote for me! (even if I play badly!)
There’s a grand prize of 1k (solo act), so if I win that, that would be awesome. I can buy you back the drink that you bought to vote for me. But if I don’t win.. oh well Anyway, hope to see you guys there!

It’s been ages since I’ve played. I’m gonna try get as many shows as I can. If you guys have any contacts or want me to play for a show, just hit me up on facebook (oh I have an official facebook page now!) or drop me a comment here, or send me an email- geowongyt@hotmail.com.

btw regular blogging will resume soon. I’m pretty sure most of you guys are tired of just reading song lyrics by now haha. I have loads of things to share, my phone is filled with random thoughts
