MadHatter.
i can't sleep. for the past 3 hours i've been tossing and turning on my mattress. and i guess it's getting into me after avoiding reality for sometime.... that later on might be the last of Madhatter.last.might be. and like a film going on in my mind. the memories. the fun. the music. e competitions. the gigs. for the past year, not a lot, not that long. but we have achieved so much...so much, that it's hard to take in, that MadHatter might be dying.
when i decided to join the band, i was noone. tryna search an identity of my own in music. i had no idea about the music that we dwell in. no idea. i was the last resort for a vocalist that they are finding for Yamaha Asian Beat band competition... and i tried my best to adapt.and it came as a total surprise that i managed to get the best vocalist award for that competition. the youngest in the competition, the most inexperienced out of all the other bands..now somehow, i became hooked onto it. the music. the soul. the funk. the groove. the MadHatter sound. who dares to be different. that normal listeners would find it hard to understand.
i began writing songs for e band. with a simple pen and paper and a guitar. and every tune and idea, the band has managed to turn it into a professional sounding original. i have a few songs still in my mind. but i am not sure if it's all matters now...
the music and the times with the band has made me found another side of myself.a side of myself that i appreciate. i have learnt a lot from the times with MadHatter. and truthfully it has been a milestone being with the band because i evolved musically and vocally with the band. MadHatter became a part of my life.
People have already known us for our signature sound. people have known me to be the crazy dancing prancing vocalist of madhatter too. and i had high hopes for the band, because of the achievements and the support we had for the 15mths that we've been together. i had fun. and i know e rest does too. but i guess...people change. and well. tension raised, commitment issues cropped up. sad, but thats reality... if only we could take time to think about what we went thru e last 15mths as a band..and figure out a way to resolve the issues, compromise our musical minds and work somethin up...if only.
well after today, Madhatter's gonna be handicapped. Madhatter's only me, the groove and the beat. vocalist. bassist and drummer.

What we see with our naked eyes is just an illusion.
What matters is what's within.
In spite of everything, i'm still incomplete...
X's to navigate.
