Past Future Present...

As a Soft Pillow Kisses member, yesterday was kind of a weird scenario for me... i scheduled a Pillow practice yesterday to help Apple prepare for a re-take of the songs she recently recorded... A few days ago, an old Pillow member made his presence felt... i was so surprised by his unannounced appearance...

So on to yesterday... i was suppose to meet up with Candy-Elaine at gateway on our way to the rehearsal studio. i got a text message from "old Pillow member" that he was in Gateway and he was to meet another "ex-Pillow member"... didn't want to miss out on this one... so after work, i went straight to Gateway to meet up with them... it was like something of a make believe thing since i never imagined that the three of us would be in the same place at the same time... ex-Pillow member was obviously uncomfortable upon seeing me... i can understand her... after what i did to her but still we've been friends for so long that i guess it got the better of us, mine specially... after more than an hour of chatting, she and her boyfriend left while me and old-Pillow member had dinner while waiting for Elaine to arrive...

In the studio, we made old-Pillow member jam with us... he still had a feel of some of the songs and even jammed with us through some of the newer ones... i just wish he could stay longer but that wish will always be, just a wish... with him, we were starting to sound good again in lew of Charles absence... i guess he was having a great time too... hope we get to play with him before he disappears again...

Hmmm, after we all (Pillow and Candy) said our goodbyes, i just can't help but notice 3 things about this band... one is that it has yet to overcome it's past... second is that it doesn't want to see it's future and third, it does not know how to make use of the present...

honestly i'm trying really hard... jsut waiting for everyone (the regulars and the sessionists) to sink in to their respective places...
