Lipstick on a Burning Soul: Singer Blog Update

DeLeon updated his blog today with an emotional and raw lyric:

there’s nothing left but skin and bones.

so tell me where you want to go,

we’re setting fire to solid gold.

lipstick on a burning soul.

we made a bed of gasoline.

you left a match between the sheets.

your pearly whites sink into me,

just to taste what’s underneath.

if i ignite you, can i put you out?

out of the ashes comes another shout.

i never meant to burn you down…

but you look so good against my mouth.

scratching your fingers down my heart,

don’t underestimate this work of art.

when the only light is a heated dark,

not even sweat can soothe the spark.

-alexander michael

I wonder if this will be on the new album, or if it's just a spark that came from his mind...

Broken is Beauty: Singer Comments on Perfection

DeLeon did an update over on his blog Symphony Soldiers and wrote about the beauty of imperfections:

this one goes out to the beautiful. break me. break me into a million pieces. chew me up and spit me out. i won’t mind at all. i’ll laugh from in between your teeth with a broken back. the human race is so concentrated on and fascinated by perfection, smoothness, and wholeness… and i will never understand why. broken is beauty. just because you are bruised and broken, does not mean you are down and out. you are still you. a shattered you, is still you in different pieces scattered around on the tile floor. i see it as opportunity. the chance to rebuild. you see, you can put yourself together again in whatever which way you would like. in the end… you are back together.

Dreamscapes: Mind of Alex Marshall

Marshall recently updated his blog talking about the magic of music:

Dreamscapes-

Some songs just don’t need words. I find myself listening to a lot of stuff like this, the songs that are wordless and leave it up to your mind to fill in the blanks with your own story. I’m fascinated to see what this makes you feel.

Take a listen, enjoy.

Singer Tweets About Leaked Songs

A song (possibly "Temporary Bliss" "Falling Up") off The Cab's upcoming album Symphony Soldiers was leaked. DeLeon tweeted about the incident and his disappointment today:

1. song leaks happen. you have to expect them. just a bummer when demos leak and not finished tracks. instruments aren't even on that one. : /
2. do not judge albums after song leaks. do you who even know what leaked? songs that might not make the album, demos, roughs, etc.
3. either way, thank your supporting and listening to our music. it means the world to us. looking forward to releasing REAL new music soon.

I haven't actually listened to the song yet except for when they performed it during Warped Tour. I feel like it ruins what DeLeon and the rest of the band want for their audience if the songs are listened to before they're ready.

Singer and Sierra Kusterbeck Performance from Italy

TCDCMedia put up this video of DeLeon and Sierra covering Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" while they were in Milan:

Blind Talent: Mind of Marshall

Marshall updated his blog today writing about the raw talent he has seen around LA:

Woke up this morning with talent on my mind,

I’ve been spending a lot of time in LA the past few months and meeting all sorts of raw talent. People that aren’t even aware of the talents they’ve been gifted with, or maybe they are? It’s actually unreal how much blind talent is walking the streets in this, what really is “small” community. When I say “blind” I’m not saying it as they are unaware of this gift, but many seem to have placed a void on their talent for a specific reason, I can’t, I won’t, maybe I’m not good enough. You are… Master your craft and work hard and you’ll find your talent taking you places you never thought you’d be.

If you are one of those people with that special gift, identify what you really love and chase it.

Capitalize on your gift-

Marshall's New Blog

Marshall posted his first entry on his new blog, Mind of Alex Marshall. In it, he talks about how he hopes for the blog to serve as a place for everyone to share ideas:

I thank god every day for giving me the mind of a dreamer. If you see it, be it and believe it.

Finally, I’ve found my new writing spot to call home. The journal with no locks and nowhere to hide once you’ve been completely stripped. This will be my go to spot when I’m in need of an escape, a good laugh, or a simple one liner that grabbed a smile and made me go “hmm…” this will not only be a place for you to read about me and events happening in my life, but a place for each of you to get personal and express the things that are heavy on your mind and things that are triggered from my entries. I can’t wait to hear from all of you beautiful people. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you sit in regularly.

I am Alex Marshall, and this is the first step into my mind, Welcome to my blog.

“I can do the same, but I don’t want the same because I am not the same.”

I can't wait to see what he writes on here!

Stars: A Definition According to Singer

DeLeon updated his blog today writing about the true meaning behind simple words that people use in everyday context:

while in mid conversation with a beautiful friend recently i was overwhelmed with her way with words and how often i found her on my mind. she was intriguing and i found myself wanting to be around her… wanting to be in contact with her as much as i could. so i called her a star. she responded with a “you can do better than that ;)”. she was calling me out for being cliche. i told her that she didn’t know how i defined star, therefore she had no right to judge what i was trying to say as overused or inadequate. i told her to curve her tongue. when she asked what a star was to me i responded with:

“a star is something that up to this point in time has been unreachable but it is still quite stunning when admired from afar. a start represents the wishes and cravings found in the deepest corners of our souls and the youth behind our eyes. something that you hope to understand or at least neighbor when all that you are and all that you feel is said and done.”

i don’t think she minds being called a star anymore.

don’t allow yourself to get too jaded too soon. sometimes the simplicity of words can bear the most weight and most meaning. say whatever you want, however you want, whenever you want… as long as there is something real behind it.

-alexander michael

I personally thought this was a beautiful statement and his words are very true; sometimes simple words sometimes can make the biggest statements.

XII VII: Singer's New Tattoos

DeLeon updated both his blog and his twitter about his new tattoos and the significance behind them:

with tattoos… meaning and significance is everything. i would never stamp something on my body that didn’t mean the world and a half to me. a lot of you were asking what the meaning behind my two new tattoos were… so i decided to create a blog to explain. the meaning is nothing too elaborate. many figured it was a date, but that would have been too obvious.

my parents are my everything. i have my father to thank for my voice, compassion, my faith, and heart… and my mother to thank for my eyes, strength, spontaneity, and appreciation of the simple things in life. my mother’s name is lisa and my father’s name is george. L and G are the 7th and 12th letters of the alphabet. anyone could have gotten an L and a G but i wanted to do something a little bit different while keeping the same meaning and boldness. the numbers sit on both of my arms…separate, but equally apart of me.

i tour and travel constantly and the hardest part of doing so is the lack of time i get to spend with my family. my brothers and sisters are growing up without me around and i miss my parents more than i could describe or explain in a blog. however, i can now find comfort in the fact that no matter how many miles away i am from home, they are still right there with me along for the crazy ride and to remind me of the beautiful places i have come from.

I think that it's sweet he did that!
