I've written a treatment almost, for a new record. I know it's way too early to be planning a thing like this, but like I've said before, I really never stop writing, and Bloodlines has been finished in that respect for a long time now, and I don't want all these new good songs to go to waste. I'm not sure what I'm going to call it yet, but the mood is going to be a lot different from the stuff you've heard from Bloodlines so far- I'm taking the music in a happier direction. I've been listening to happier stuff, and I'm an overall happier person when I'm writing these songs. The songs that are done already (there are about five) have an irony to them, where the song is very light, but the content is very dark. It's sort of a compromise between my lyrical style, but also my need to make my songs sound different.


I'm constantly writing, so it's really no surprise to people when I have new songs up- Bloodlines has been out of the writing phase for a really long time, I'm just doing a lot of production on it. That doesn't mean I just stop writing. I always write, and then after a long time, I pick out my favorites and make a new set. That's how Bloodlines started, and that's probably how things will start in the future.


I'm a happier person, that's why. I think lyrically, the songs are pretty much consistant with the way I write, but it feels good to have a change of pace with these new songs.
