Considering the topic of conversation in the Bistro, I would have to agree. Although however, the context of what I was referring to is a little different in this particular piece. If you feel like listening, here's the song on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP61YP…

Wow seems like I've already watched it before. You are just now posting the lyrics. For shame.

I don't really look at journals to much so that prob explains why I don't remember seeing it

60% of my journals are typically artsy, so to speak. (not that I counted, but that's my estimate.)

I'm lucky if I even bother to write one. My perfectionism makes any kind of writing a pain even if it supposed to be the entry to a diary.

Typically, I would call myself a perfectionist in that I am critical of myself and my own words, however, there is a tiny niche inbetween that and expressionism where when I write expressively and for myself, rather than for other people, it's more of getting something off my chest without telling everyone what it is, and in this form, it comes out as poetry to the world, and to me, I know exactly what I'm referring to, and can look back on it.
Poems, like Watermelon, and I've Lost are good examples.

Hahah my perfectionism is from what I think of my work. Not would other people think. It is whether or not I am expressing what I want to say correctly.

My perfectionism then, comes from what I think a viewer should get from my work when critically reviewing my work. But likewise, or otherwise, if I can portray exactly what I want to reflect, perfectly, that a reader gets that message, then it has done it's job perfectly, down to the last word, sensation, and period. More or less the same as you are saying I suppose.

That's good to know. I suppose that means perhaps it somehow grew on you despite the horrendous fuck up on the solo.

It's the thrill of performing live. Sometimes it is a hit. Sometimes it is a miss. Doesn't mean the work is bad or even the whole performance for that matter.

Nah, that light in my face finally got to me, and I had to squint to see what I was doing on that guitar, let me tell you, and I shoulda just kept the solo simple. The vocals were fine, and I'm actually impressed I sounded that good, that long ago, and the chords are nice, but that solo, sets me from great to just good.

Should have been smarter about it, but I took a risk, and it would have payed off if I played it right, and though I recovered after that mess up in the middle of the solo into the end part of the solo, I could have seriously made it simpler just for the performance, or practiced even more than I already did. It is what it is now.

Yes which is why you shouldn't brood and just look forward to the next performance. There is always the next time to get it right. Or you can quit and that is the end of it. Either way no brooding.

I'm not brooding. It just annoys me anytime I go back and listen to it, since it's the only recording I have of it currently, hahahahaha.

I have no reason to at the moment. It's just I notice it whenever I come back to it, and as a conscientious musician, I humbly mention it to others if they are going to listen.

I would just erase the vid from existence and start anew but that is my problem as an artist. Never think something is good enough

There's no point in erasing something that can be used for reference to know what I played. Nothing I record is professional (excluding the recording I did for college) and is only a means of archiving. Not to mention, the recording that is up, was done by someone else, no me, so i can't take it down, and I see no point in asking for it to be taken down.

Hahahhahha, well, you can now at least make the comparison between my live performing and my recorded work with that other song up. I don't usually mess up live, but it happens.
