To stand and speak in shades of blue,
Beneath the hues, a phantom through,
So full of Lilac Sounds,
See me as more, see me as new
A dancing monkey,
A writer with nothing more to do
So full of Lilac Sounds
See me as more, see me as new
A friendly face,
Singing an ageless tune
Burning with Lilac Sounds
See me as more, see me as new
Must I stand on this stage forever?
Drowned! Reborn, amidst your blue
So full of Lilac sounds,
I am so much more.
I am born anew.
- a poem by Ciaran Coleman

The Angsty Songs of My Youth that are Still Shaping My Life Today.
It was a long road from falling in love with 90's grunge and 2000's punk to writing and releasing a song. A road filled with heartache and petty drama that all inevitably led me to the music and bands that inspired me to start writing my own songs. From Nirvana and Paramore to My Bloody Valentine, here's the most important angsty anthems and groups from my teen years that influenced me so much I had to give it a go myself!

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.
