Just a Thought - 5/23

"Long train rides make my mind wander
Graze over thoughts of you
But mostly dreams of all that could be
With me and you
Success
I want it all
Everything this life has to offer
Including billboard charts, Grammys, to grandkids
Louboutin heels to kids playing with hot wheels
Is everything too much to ask?
It's all i see when i dream
My dreams are bigger than me
Bigger than flashing lights and bottles popped
Blocks, neighborhoods or boroughs.
I'm talking living a life that's so thorough,
it can only be because of Him."

-Ashley 2011

Dope Writers - Rico Love

Now the owner of his own label Division 1 in conjunction with Universal Mowtown, Rico Love has penned and produced on many hits we all know and love. Most recently on the airwaves "Motivation" by Kelly Rowland. One of my personal favorites "There Goes My Baby" by Usher and Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams." His tracks most notably begin with the phrase TTLO ... Turn the lights off ... and most often you might want to with the sultry, yet high energy tracks.

Songs that make me wish I wrote them ...

As a songwriter, I think that we all have moments when we hear records that we wish we wrote first. lol. I mean it just embodies such a great feeling that you know you've experienced and were just unable to record quick enough.

Look out for "Songs that make me wish I wrote them ... " as a reoccuring blog post.

Enjoy this selection "Lovesong" performed by Adele. Amazing record. A remake of the song by The Cure. Composed by Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Roger O'Donnell, Porl Thompson, Lol Tolhurst, Boris Williams.

Worth A Thousand Words

The hustle and bustle of New York City ... NY is cool, but I always feel relieved to come back home to Philly, where everything is just a little slower pace and I know where the heck I'm going. But the city is a great place to visit.
