DOPAMINE:MY LIFE ON MY BACK- VALENTINES DAY!! FEB 14TH http://myspace.com/jesseboykinsiii
Closing:
The word that whispers warmth Is what I miss The look that beamed it Is what I was fixed on Ambient reflections of Daze that had me, Like ,u really had me I was convinced, still am
The word that whispers passion Is what I miss Lovelust compounds Your skin and mine Making new elements New discovery We had we, U had me, still do
The word that whispers forgiveness Won't help forgetness And the time that is needed Is not what I want I wanted u, I want u U have me Still do Really had me, still do
"My Life On My Back" EP is what I would call a therapy treatment, different levels of emotions broken down into 6-7 songs, kind of like a mini story having to do with past, present, and future. its so crazy because all the inspiration I been getting for it , yes is from who Im influenced by as far as music , but as far as the lyric in these songs I can say its from Dopamine...
Ive been in the studio for so many hours straight , but I dont want to do anything else really until this Session is over, thinking it will help my Life in someway.. I just hope it gets heard cuz Im sure alot of people will relate to the Dopamine pumping thru me.
I was researching the word Dopamine after a good friend of mine told me about it.. Its Crazy its a hormone in the brain and a nuerotransmitter, that basically does what the hormones that tell you your hungry and thirsty do ,but he has to do with Romance, Love & Passion
Dopamine is basically the reason why u do all the crazy shit u do when ur in Love
I found somewhere on the web where doctors tested College students who had just broken up with there other... They put them in a MRI and showed them pictures of there ex's.. the part in the brain that is active when u feel pain was highly active during this test.. The doctors said the students came out Crying...Dopamine at its worst
