Not A Hero - Ed Privat


Monday Live

Hello to you all it is monday the 18th of October 2021, I hope that you've had a good weekend!
Today, I managed to find the time to do everything that I was supposed to do, it's very surprising knowing it was a busy day, I put some on my plate, but everything went somewhat smoothly.

I actually forgot the feeling of not working, my wife also works during the weekends, so we don't even know which day is which anymore haha. At the same time, when you constantly working, there is no pain anymore , I can't compare it too what we call in gardening LST (Low stress Technique), which consist of applying a constant tension on a plant to create a stronger plant, well it's the same way, because we're working everyday, there isn't a pain that comes with going back to work again on a monday.
I apply the same rule with working out, I don't take a day off, which means there will be an hour of workout everyday raining or snowing, it's another constant in my life, I also do the same thing about guitar/vocal technique, if you're interested in my method, I wrote a bit about it in May, the 1hour/day rule which helped me improved few things in my life. Don't expect any self helf guru bullshit, just practical shit.

Lee (my wife) and I are really a force to be reckoned with at the moment, when we are in the flow state we can really get things done, she always let me do my thing, by this I mean enabling me to be the best version of myself, by not doing anything to shape me(that's a strange magic at play), though at the moment with the responsability of her job I am trying to do the same thing and be convenient, by not interfering and keeping the kids away from her workflow. There is nothing worse than being focused on something important, only to hear "mummy, I lost my sock" and losing that momentum.

Lately I am trying to be mindful not to stress too much, and most importantly, not to wish bad things to people, I know it sounds a little silly, but I am trying to keep all the vibe positive, and constructive, the world is going to shit, I wonder if it's because of all our bad intentions, subcounsciously.

Today, It was a really sunny day, I thought it could be cool to revisit a song from my first album called "Not A Hero", go next to the apple trees, that we are currently harvesting, I might post about it in a few days.

I haven't sung that song for quite a while, being from an album released in 2013, but It went well! The inspiration for the song, was "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles.
The lyrics are a little bit "on the nose", I actually change few things in that version, I was happy to see that I could still reach that falsetto, easy peazy haha.

Not A Hero

Why would I get telling you the truth
What would you see my shield down and my sword too
For the first time I am drunk in a river
For the first time I am drowning in my lies
Tonight let's be honest like an open window
You see all the scratches and the scars that I know
For the first time I am drunk and the reality hurts
For the first time avoiding my cries
For the first time I can't trust my soldiers
When they telling me that the battle is out of sight
I am not a hero but just a weirdo
I am not a hero but just a weirdo, yeah
Just a little pain on my front door
I won't become the master of this world, yeah
For the first time I am drowning in my own words
For the first time I really scuba dive
There's nothing more than a piece of life with you
There's nothing more than a piece of time with you
There's nothing more to say except that I love you
There's nothing more to see except that I blush when you staring at me
I am not a hero but just a weirdo
I am not a hero but just a weirdo
I am not a hero but just a weirdo
I am not a hero but just a weirdo, yeah

Thanks for watching, if you haven't watched thanks for reading, and you aren't reading this, well it means that I don't need to finish the...
