The Golden Shore - The Theatre Darling

This is the first one of the songs I’ve put up here that someone else on tumblr has recorded.  It was recorded by this person, http://thetheatredarling.tumblr.com/, and she did an amazing job, she really has a great voice!

If anyone else interested in recording one of these songs just send me a message and I’ll send you the chords and lyrics.

Okay so this is me.. its a little surreal. I have never let anyone really hear me sing before, or play guitar. These tend to be hidden things. Private Pleasures.

It’s all lies.

I thought for a long time that acting was about lying to people, but I am beginning to realise it’s about being as truthful as physically possible.

I feel like this is asked an awful lot in my Theatre and Performance degree. Fact, you can never take it too far.
