Well, I'm 5ft11, slim, with blue/green eyes and shoulder length dark red hair. I'm friendly and polite, a little shy, and too clumsy. I also think I'm too forgiving, and I need to stand up for myself more...I'm also a very old-fashioned person (hard to explain, but you'd understand if you knew me).
I frequently write songs. I recorded several of my songs and posted them at the following link:
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/7/andrewlobbanmusic.htm
There are no vocals yet, because I can't sing...and some of the songs are currently in MIDI format, but these should at least allow you to hear what the songs should sound like. I'm currently trying to form my own band in the same style as Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Stratovarius, etc. If you're interested, please let me know!!!
Where Do You Belong?
Well...one of two places. One would be Finland. It seems such a magical place...the country of my dreams. I would love to go there and see the lakes and the northern lights. It's a beautiful place...and it's also home to some amazing music.
The other place would be Middle Earth! Enchanted forests, crystal clear lakes, blue skies...that's the sort of place where I feel I belong. Sadly, however, it doesn't exist.
Lyrics That Capture My Soul
Pretty much anything by Sonata Arctica or Nightwish. If I had to pick one song, it would be "Misplaced" by Sonata Arctica. A few lines from it..."Sometimes I feel so out of time and place, trapped in a maze...as if I was lost in someone else's life..." "Do you ever feel a need to go back in time? A dream of mine...To travel far away and one day steal back my life...In the end all I can do is to learn I live in a dreamland..." "How could this backward land learn to understand my dance? What it's like when every single smile hurts..." I'm sure that song was written for me!!
Love is...
Very hard to find...and even harder to find a person who will love you equally back.
I Dream...
all the time!! I dream about many things...most often about escaping to some faraway place. Somewhere much nicer, with pleasant people and wonderful scenery. Finland!
Who do you aspire to be and why?
A powerful and emotional songwriter. I know how people, inluding myself, can be touched by songs...and I would love to be capable of doing the same through my own music.
Random Sad Weird Facts About Me.
I once got hospitalised by colliding with a low-flying pigeon..........I once fell on top of a disabled man and squashed his one and only leg..........I once knocked over the raw fish counter in the local supermarket and cost them around £1000 in raw fish..........I once got stuck in my coat after being bored one day, and deciding to wear it backwards like a straight jacket..........I once got attacked by a lasagne. I forgot to pierce the film lid when I put it in the microwave, and it exploded all over me..........There are others, too...
Pets
1 cat called Muffin. She's my likkle baby!!
