This Indie Life: The Adventures of an Indie Musician Living an Indie Lifestyle
2011 In A Nutshell
This past year, more than ever, I learned that life is all about choices, and owning the consequences of those choices, whether good or bad. It is always easier to blame someone else, but to choose true humility, and face our consequences with ownership is the ultimate race in life.
Can you imagine a world where each person took full responsibility for their life? That would mean spending the majority of our time bettering our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual states. In return, we could feel so free that the essence and energy surrounding us could uplift whoever or whatever was near. We wouldn’t need man’s laws to tell us how to act, because we would simply remember the laws built within us. So instead of spending and wasting so much time trying to solve other people’s problems, we all could focus on solving our own problems, and be enlightened by each other.
Maybe I’m asking too much of this world. For now I will continue to dream, work, live, and pray for a world in which peace really does and can exist. With so many cultural, political, religious, and personal conflicts in life, may God grant us all true inner peace so that we may live a prosperous and enjoyable new year.
“Walk Away” - Track 9 of Friction In Some Direction (release date 06.27.11)
From growing up in the country, to moving to the Big Apple, to traveling to different parts of the world, I have encountered many types of people, ideals, and governments. I have met many intelligent, inspiring people, who give me so much hope for humanity. And then I have unfortunately also met a lot of very ignorant people, not necessarily always unintelligent, who make me question that hope. We each are given the beautiful gift of life, and it’s our duty to live it the best way we know possible, and constantly strive to learn and understand more everyday. This song is about not walking away from the responsibility of life, rather walking with a purpose, because the day will come when we can no longer plead ignorant. -AZ
LYRICS:
One day your life
Will pause and rely
On finding the truth
That you never knew
When that day comes
Please don’t throw it away
Or pretend you don’t care
Like everything is okay
Say what you feel
And walk like you know
Because this is your life
You can’t just walk away, walk away
Oh yea, you can’t just walk away, walk away
Sometimes life is so full
We’re stuck in a bubble
The air begins to lose
We can no longer choose
Right from wrong
Or up from down
We go round in circles far away
Like everything is okay
Say what you feel
And walk like you know
Because this is your life
You can’t just walk away, walk away
Oh yea, you can’t just walk away, walk away
Oh, oh, oh, oh x3
Say what you feel
Walk like you know
This is your life
You can’t just walk away
Say what you feel
And walk like you know
Because this is your life
You can’t just walk away, walk away
Oh yea, you can’t just walk away, walk away
Oh, oh, oh, oh x5
Walk away, walk away, don’t walk away x3
