Hey guess what? *Bounces* Today is my stop on the Just Breathe Blog Tour....and you know what else.....*squee* *fans self* one of my favorite characters is here. Phew! Thought I was never going to get that out!
Wait. What? What do you mean I didn't tell you who was here? Of course I did. *re-reads post* *blushes* oops, guess I didn't! My bad, let's try this again. *takes deep breath* For my stop on the Just Breathe Blog Tour I am honored, excited, and nervous to have one of my favorite characters and book boyfriends on the blog today. This character has the uncanny ability to turn every girl into a puddle with a simple look. And when he opens his mouth....forget it, you might as well surrender yourself. Not like any girl would object to that! *Inhale**Exhale* Just Breathe!
With wit, sarcasm, humor, elemental magic, strength of a warrior, grace and looks of a God, Gavin Cassidy is one of those characters that I am pretty sure any girl would want to see live and in living color!!! And guess whhhaaattt??? I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to him and some of the other great characters of the Just Breathe Series!! Without further ado........
Y3ller: It is obvious that Zoe has had a huge impact on your lyrics. But I
would love to know what your lyrics were like before you met her. Maybe even a
sample of your lyrics!!!
Zoe Morgan: You're being awfully quiet on this question,
Gavin. Cat got your tongue?
Y3ller: Maybe he was
too drunk to remember what his music was like before you!
Gavin Cassidy: No, I remember. Too well. Most of the lyrics I wrote before Zed were
about boobs, beer, and blond bombshells, preferably in the arse up/face down
position. I wrote what I knew: shagging and drinking. *Grins* Wasn't all bad.
Y3ller: Sounds like you went soft to me....like a love sick teenage girl, not
like The Gavin Cassidy, rock God!
Gavin: Trust me,
love, there's nothing soft about me. I stay hard pretty much 24/7.
Zoe: Yeah, I
can attest to that. Totally true. 24/7. *Smiles* One of the advantages of
having a 24 year-old boyfriend is that he can almost keep up. Almost. ;-)
Y3ller: What no
comments from Scarlet??? After all that talk about getting Gavin's Fire I for
sure thought you would have something to say about this!!
Gavin: Please,
don't encourage Scarlet. I'd hate to have to interrupt our lovely conversation
with a Fire fight.
Zed's right.
What she doesn't know is, I secretly enjoy trying to keep up. I've never backed
down from a challenge.
Vexx: Well, if
Gavin won't share his song lyrics. I will. I downloaded Just Breathe's first
album today. Here are the words to my favorite song, "Candy Kane."
:-)
Candy Kane
Lyrics by Gavin
Cassidy
White spiked
heels with a little red sash
Ivy tattoo
climbs the line of her back
A flick of
the wrist, and I flash the cash
Devil in her
eyes, twist of the neck
Bead of
sweat on an agonizing trek
Dirty girl
smile snares me in her trap
Candy Kane
You’re so
vain
Minty and
sweet
My favorite
treat
Mounts the
pole, holds on tight
Candy cane
teasing, parting her lips
Down, down,
down as she takes a bite
Lands on her
feet and shakes her hips
Fan blows
her hair in slow motion whips
Sucks the
red clean off, blows me a kiss
Candy Kane
You’re so
vain
Minty and
sweet
My favorite
treat
I need a
ride on your roller coaster
Gonna make
you scream ‘til this ride’s over
One taste is
all you need
Relax and
let me take the lead
Have a lick
of my candy cane
One night
with me, you’ll forget your name
Candy Kane
You’re so
vain
Minty and
sweet
My favorite treat
Y3ller: Ooooo, now
that is an interesting song! I love it! Thanks for sharing it Vexx!
Gavin- Your
stubbornness is one of the things I love about you! It is precisely why you are
one of my favorites! So Gavin, care to share the lyrics to one of your favorite
songs?
Gavin: Yeah, thanks
a lot, Vexx. Bloody brilliant of you to share a song I wrote about a stripper.
My favorite
song is the one I wrote whilst waiting for Zed at the Whale & Whistle. It
started off as restless doodling, but the longer I sat and worried that she
wouldn't show, the harder the words poured out. Yeah, they're sappy shite, but
they mean something to me. This song embodies what I feel when I look at her -
in the Dreaming and in Realis. I've fleshed it out a bit, but it's still in the
draft stage. Maybe one day the band will record it. Or maybe Zed and I will
just keep it between us.
One
You fell
into my arms in a dream
And the world
was no longer what it seemed
I was
broken, my heart on the mend
You opened
your eyes, and that was the end
I had no
idea what kind of prize I'd won
Until your
lips kissed me, brighter than the sun
We were two
hungry souls, craving two different things
Neither
expecting what the other would bring
And now I
know that you’re the one
I’ve waited
my whole life for
You’re the
budding leaves turning green in spring
You’re the
fresh breath of air that summer brings
You’re the
autumn sky painted in rainbow hues
You’re the
wintry ocean dancing in shimmering blues
You’re the
air I breathe
You’re the
water I drink
You’re the
fire inside me
You’re the
earth under my feet
You’re the
one
Sometimes I
don’t know what to say to you
But this
consuming fire burns steady and true
When
November comes and you have to go
There's
something important you have to know
Despite the
creeping of time, my love won't die
My heart
will continue to lift you up high
So hold onto
me through the rest of this dance
I’ll keep
you forever if you’ll give me the chance
Now I know
that you’re the one
I’ve waited
my whole life for
You’re the
budding leaves turning green in spring
You’re the
fresh breath of air that summer brings
You’re the
autumn sky painted in rainbow hues
You’re the
wintry ocean dancing in shimmering blues
You’re the
air I breathe
You’re the
water I drink
You’re the
fire inside me
You’re the
earth under my feet
You’re the one
Y3ller: Oh. My.
Freaking. Gosh! That song was amazing! You totally have to share that with the
world. It actually brought tears to my eyes reading the words. *wipes tears* I
can't imagine the effect it would have with your voice behind it. Play that for
Zoe and she will be a puddle!
I can
definitely feel your love for her and feel your soul! I love sappy shite!!
After all I am a hopeless romantic!
So do the lyrics mean that maybe one day you see yourself proposing???
Despite what happened between the two of you, I am definitely routing for you!
You guys are great together
Gavin: Thanks,
love. I don't know what the future holds for Zed and me, but I know what's in
my heart. This Water can't flow without her.
* * * * FIN * * * *
*Fans self* Okay seriously I am not sure I can speak anymore because those lyrics were completely amazing and I am sort of a puddle right now. Check out this amazing series if you haven't already so that you too can experience the power of Gavin's words!
Here is my review for Just Breathe
About This Amazing Author
Kendall Grey, word wrangler, whale warrior, wicked wench, and lover of tongue-tripping alliteration, was born without an off-switch between her brain and mouth. She’s been called the “Flux Capacitor of Twitter” and “A little package of love all wrapped up in F-word paper,” but she’s really just a maniacal writer relaying eyewitness accounts of the rave inside her head. She writes urban fantasy with strong romantic elements and also dabbles in erotica and horror on occasion.Kendall lives off a dirt road near Atlanta, Georgia, but don’t hold that against her.
