Chasing Cars | Outrageous Thoughts of Babble - Knight

Chasing Cars

Cover of Snow Patrol’s song called Chasing Cars. This is such a cool tune and the original has so many fluctuations in different tempos and feel – its dramatic to a certain degree.

You’ve stumbled onto my online journal, “Outrageous Thoughts of Babble”. I started this journal back in 1997 thus pre-dating terms such as “blogging,” which makes me feel secretively proud (snicker). Its purpose has always remained the same — to record life’s events as they happen – for they do happen quickly and fleetingly. Enjoy! 🙂

“Fireworks from the Roof” — this one’s still in the oven 🔥
.
A song draft that’s only about a month old, and I’m still changing words and adding sections here and there. This was also recorded from “The Yard”, located in Redwood City, CA. The song speaks to my childhood growing up as a latchkey kid - both my parents worked and after school, the kids in the neighborhood were left to our own devices. I knew this one kid, who had an older brother named Robert and older sister named Lilly — we would at times sneak away from their watch and they were soooo pissed. But we were kids and such as crazy kids we were.
.
.
My inner thoughts - what I’m finding interesting in this video is:
1. I’m trying to remember the words - even though they were my own.
2. I can’t believe I used the term “red light sky afternoon” in the first chorus — it totally mentally tripped me up. My mind did dart back to the red light district of Times Square when I was a kid — I wanted to pause and make a joke, but decided against it - artistic continuity I thought. Yep, all that within 1 second… geez, self sabotage.

“Blind Without Seeing” - an unreleased song. This place is called “The Yard”, located in Redwood City, CA. Absolutely adore this place, moreso the folks that are here - it’s basically family-run and the folks are just so warm and welcoming. Alike filling your heart with a mug filled with hot chocolate. Sorry if the video is a little bit pixelated - it was actually saved off of a FB Live stream that wifey felt encouraged to broadcast.
.
“Blind Without Seeing” is song that exists during the time of fighting partners - and really a self-reflection full of inner child speak. Where all the cool stuff lays they say. Ah, such as life.
.
In my inner thoughts - with full context, what I’m finding interesting in this video is:
1. I’m trying to deal with herniated discs in my spine - so I’m surprisingly able to start moving again.
2. I’ve made a few mistakes during my playing and singing, but it doesn’t really matter — it’s about how I deal with it at the time - just keep it going.
3. There’s even a point in time where I accidentally bumped into a guitar behind me, and had other use my leg to base the guitar back up - and my reaction was to take my hands and catch the guitar, but I used my leg, and didn’t miss the rhythm. That was just a miracle by itself.
.
Wifey says I sing too much with my eyes closed. I don’t do this on purpose - Its just how I’m naturally am, I guess.

Just your friendly neighborhood folk singer… now available in collectible form 😅
Saw this meme going around and couldn’t resist having a little fun with it.
Not trying to be anything fancy — just a guy with a guitar, some songs, and a love for playing.

When your social circles overlap —a little over six months after James and I suddenly realized we both worked at the same place in our day jobs. We’ve been musical friends for about two years now when we ran into each other in the work break room! It’s amazing — one can’t make this stuff up! :)

We’re based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and here we are at a work event in Phoenix, AZ.

“A Place Called Us” played at Gilman’s in Berkeley, CA on January 15, 2025 - I was lucky enough to have a few folks capture this on their phones. I tried my best to fix the color, but I’m afraid my video editing skills aren’t what they used to be - apologize if its a bit oddly too bright, and too dark at the same time. Gilman’s has this amazing huge back room where they have these huge beer barrels. It’s a bit cold and damp year round, and caverneshly (if that’s a word) very echoey. There’s actually no reverb mixed into this and the sound is straight with no effects - what you’re actually hearing is the natural reverb of this room. Its a bit crazy, but totally awesome at the same time.

I’m still beaming from the afterglow. Thank you Wifey Elizabeth for the warm Birthday wishes and ever-awesome November babies Birthday party. Cousin Joel and I were showered with so many flattering compliments, and each song felt like a gift. Especially when “coming to” after a song, opening my eyes and seeing all those wonderful smiles and heartfelt reactions. I couldn’t have asked for a better celebration.

I am fortunate - for I have you by my side, Wifey Elizabeth. Happy Birthday to all! To love, friends, and family.
