keep coming
all of your concepts and thoughts in general are stirring. please keep them coming. many thanks for being so open minded and free spirited on this site. i need you all so i can remember that every single person is so weird, so individually crazy, and uniquely wonderfully significant in some sort of way. there’s so much comfort for me in knowing that- born into the same mental hospital scenery- woke up this morning to check my email and received a mixed demo of a new c.s song that i did vocals for last night. gives boners in my bags- makes me so happy to feel good about what we re doing. keep it coming

March 11th, 2009 at 9:07 am
Im so stoked to hear the new sounds from circa.
i like what ive heard from the obscure videos on the circa myspace…
im anticipating the new music quite a bit.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:07 am
isn’t it crazy how intricate and delicate every human is? were such crazy puzzles to be put together..i think all of our personalities are going to one day make a huge personality…and that huge personality will rock out to circa.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:09 am
dear anthony,
i am glad the album is coming together great, i cannot wait until it is finally released and then i will get to see your pretty face on tour in dallas.
i think you should write a song about outer space. how vast it is and how we don’t know what is out there just yet, i think a song about outer space would be the best thing ever. amazing to say the least
much lovee

March 11th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Anthoners! I agrees. Life is so much funner when we realize we don’t have to pretend to be normal. There are things that are so much more important. Thanks for bein you. Can’t wait to hear how that affects your new music.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:23 am
Anthony you know your my idol right?
Been listening since audience of one.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Thanks for being such a great individual
I love your music so much
March 11th, 2009 at 9:28 am
“- born into the same mental hospital scenery-”
I fucking love you.
You never seize to say something thats absolutely amazing and can just completely brighten my day.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:59 am
You are such a wonderful mind.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:05 am
so, you probably get quite a few of those ‘you inspire me’ comments. well, you’re getting another one. your music makes me step into a little box in my head and open up. i’m a writer. i love to write. and about 95% of the time that i sit down and grap a pencil, i’m putting in some sort of anthonygreen. you’re unbelievablely talented and i can’t thank you enough for showing that it’s okay to wierd and creative.
that mind of yours is incredible.
you’re one of my two heroes.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:15 am
I wish we were real friends. You’re such a rad person. I can’t wait to hear the new tunes. You guys have been my number top favorite band ever, tied with Minus the Bear, for about two years now, and I made a pledge to myself that no one will ever replace that spot, even if your next CD blows, which I know it won’t. And if it’s better than anything ever done EVER, which I’m positive it will be, then it only further solidifies your position in my mind.
:):) LOVELOVELOVExforever.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:41 am
oh man mr green.. your voice is that of an angel. every time i hear it i go to my happy place and your lyrics paint the scenery and i never want to leave anthony green-land. namasate.

can’t wait to get a huge massive boner from you’re next cd then get high and listen to it again and get a half hard boner but i’ll be happy anyway because i’m high and you’re music is awesome so pretty much boner or not its gonna be a sweet deal
March 11th, 2009 at 10:50 am
that’s so funny that you say that everyone is crazy and weird in their own way. it makes me think about like, love. you know, coming out of a really long relationship, i used to think that there was only ONE person that could be your soulmate. but honestly, there are so many ways to fill a persons heart fully. there are many people who can be yout soulmate, does this make sense at all? but i’m sooo excited for the new album!! <333
March 11th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
You asked me for a cig during a show your band played at the meridian in houston tx while doing an energy drink tour with as tall as lions, and then apologized for being “such an asshole”, but it’s not your fault because we’re all fucked up =/
I was glad to give you the break.
I had a nice idea for a song about the suppression of history played very loudly in the presence of all people.
Or how to to produce a sound than can travel faster than the rate at which the universe expands.
Thanks for Avalon, and also for hearing your fans. You definitely helped those apples grow.
March 11th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
you don’t know how geeked i am to hear some new stuff from you guys. I’m losin it son!
March 11th, 2009 at 3:40 pm

March 11th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
sew much
March 11th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
i can’t wait for the new stuff. it’s almost insane.
March 11th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
so i always love hearing news about whats going on with c.survive and yourself. I’m currently taking this funky english class in college and we just read Lolita. I don’t know if you’ve ever read it but, I don’t want to spoil it for you. It’s a very umm interesting book, about some pedophilia but when you look beyond that there are ideas of how foreigners think of america, how children perceive the world, and how you can find love in the most awkward situations. It’s a crazy read but really had my mind thinking about so much. Can’t wait for the new stuff, you never disappoint us! thanks for listening to your fans means a lot to us all!
March 11th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
the main character in the book is this homie named Humbert Humbert and the author really gives you a look into an insane persons mind and how it works and it makes me think there are a lot of possibility’s for a song there! He is a really crazy, messed up dude but the way he speaks about what he does makes it sound beautiful. Makes me think about all your lyrics and how they make me feel so much, and that is why i love all of your music!!
March 11th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
anthony,
i must thank you for putting your thoughts and emotions out for all of us to feel. it’s been great to realize that everyone is so much alike in so many ways but very different at the same time and your music and your blogs helped me realize that. now when i hear that line from “Devils Song”, “we’re all in the same spot,” i think about how in this world we’re all together and connected to one another without even realizing it. keep the blogs coming and keep being you cause that’s what we love you for. hope all is well in your life and i hope someday we have the opportunity to meet and have a smoke.
P.S. song idea – a person has the ability to talk to the stars and the planets. the planets and the stars constantly tell the person about events that will happen in the future and at first the person is very intrigued to see how the events will pan out in their life. However, after awhile they find themselves not wanting to know about the future because they find that knowing what’s going to happen is stopping them from living as if they didn’t know. so they go to the planets and stars and asks them to stop speaking. but they do not stop speaking and now the person is left with finding a way to get them to leave him/her be.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
whats up anthony! Can’t wait for the new cs album, still jam to on letting go on a daily basis. “Carry Us Away” has such a creative chorus that runs through my mind over and over again.
Anyway; Yea, each and every one of us are so unique in our own way, we contain so many diverse skills, it’s really insane. Doctors, who save our lives, Lawyers, who save our ass, Plumbers, who save our toilets, and most importantly us musicians, with out us, the world would be fucked up in so many different ways.
Been jamming alot to “The Velvet Underground” lately, check out the song “Venus In Furs” or “Sunday Morning” they were so ahead of their time.
well hope to hear back man

March 12th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
another adoring fan here man. the music you make is pure happiness. I concept for a song that has always seemed like it would be great is about someone who tries their hardest at everything they do, including trying make the people they love happy, and just epically fail…like the ultimate “I can’t express how I truly feel sorta thing”…and you response to that. watching this person who’s going through this try to cope with it and them slowly realizing that they’ll only truly be happy with those who reciprocate their love. writing about it from an outsider’s perspective of this happening to someone would be awesome. There’s no doubt in my mind that you’ve thought about this before. I just think it would be cool to look at it in a new way. all the best to you
March 13th, 2009 at 1:33 am
Hey
Do you know that feeling when you wake up at 3 completely energized?
That’s a beautiful thing in this world.

March 13th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
If you have never heard it I would love for u to check out the “Sunscreen Song” by Baz Luhrman. Not really a song but more spoken word. For me its something almost grounding an awesome source of inspirtation and on “bad” days understanding. When I feel like hours are days and days are weeks this helps me put some things back into perspective, helps me to realize that really we are all on the same page no matter what the surrounding circumstance may be.I have been huge fan of both you and Circa for some time now going back to my first show at Solid State here in Portland after everything that you have shared with me I would love to share this with you… Much Love
March 14th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Ummm I can’t get past the boner thing
March 14th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
i have but one idea for a song. how do you feel about being a band? think about it. i’ve also been told that i sound pretty similar to you when singing
March 14th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
hi anthony, i’m not going to attempt to give you song ideas because i don’t know, i just don’t feel like it. i think songs should come out of your head but maybe too many of them already have, so that’s why you’re asking…?
i don’t know.
anyway, i just back from a good old war show and keith and dan talked to me a bit before it started and i think you and brendan and colin and steve and nick should sit down and talk about why the hell i have to be so awkward all the time. and i don’t look at any of them as like celebrities or anything but i was alone and so i didn’t have that like support/confidence that being with your friends gives you and even when keith said he liked my cap’n jazz shirt i just sort of nodded and said thanks. and i got kind of annoyed at myself and the world because i hate that there’s that weird wall between fan and band. i mean between some bands and their fans, it’s definitely a very thin wall but it’s still there and it’s still inhibiting and i wish i could just be some random girl walking down the street and oh hey good old war! except they wouldn’t be good old war, they’d just be keith, dan, and tim and it wouldn’t be a big deal. i don’t know, you get what i’m saying right? i mean i know it might be hard to see that because their your friends but i’m sure you’ve met people in bands you love before and just been a retarded, anti-social tool.
so, just sit and drink a latte with your band soul mates and talk about that wall.
regards,
me.

some days ago i started to write a novel (in spanish, because that’s my language, i don’t speak english very well) i’ve got a lot of inspiration, but i want it to be perfect, so i decided to do some stuff alone to get more inspired. i went to see a movie all by myself. and it felt great! i was walking by the street and thinking for three hours or so. i have to admit it was kinda depressing at first, but at the end of the day i felt like a new person. i saw all kind of interesting things, people being tired, enthusiastic, sad, loving their couple, going to work… and then i get home, and noticed my MOMS ( i dont have a dad hah) were in a birthday party. it was the perfect time to sing your songs out loud
i don’t even know why i’m telling you this, i just tought about it when i read “i need you all so i can remember that every single person is so weird, so individually crazy, and uniquely wonderfully significant in some sort of way”
March 15th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
I am so excited for the new album! I have come to realize that there is a pattern for your circa albums when i am listening to them. Juturna is my soundtrack for the winter and i feel like on letting go is the same for summer… maybe your new album will be the spring soundtrack! And just in case you were wondering.. your solo album is an everyday thing to listen to. You are truly gifted anthony. good luck with the new album! By the way i think you should take a listen to the band We The They! They are amazing people who make amazing music. I think you will enjoy!

March 18th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
One of my close friends and I always wanted to write a song about why all those crazy things that happened in the past aren’t happening now.. Like jesus resurrecting and all these other godly acts…but we don’t what to say…I guess it’s just a interesting question.
March 19th, 2009 at 4:39 am
i wish everyday i have never used opiates.
kids throwing rocks in a glass house just so they wont smoke them.
its so sad to live with an addiction rather then have died off years back.
your music lets me know sometimes its okay, well more so lets me know how much i need my girlfriend.
i just wish i knew how to write one great song i could sing over and let everyone in my life know how i feel..
i cant find anyone to write with me and i see all these bands “making it” in my neighboorhood and it kills me there pain isnt real…
they dont know what real love or hurt is..
and stop.. turn..delete dont re read any of this anyone, it probably wont and shouldnt get posted anyways..because it doesnt relate to the topic posting…
i need to go get money out of my bank that i dont have so im not sick…it sucks…catch my drift?
anthony in the most straight way.. i love you and your new music..avalon is always what i have wanted to hear from you..always loved your bsides more then saosin or circa…although new circa i am excited for…
i got the chance to play with saosin over an oline competition in my last band i sung for….it was awesome..besides… you wernt in the band so it wasnt that great to me…and cove..he wasnt very cool either he sat in the van the whole time we played kinda dissapointed…but..yeah
to touch topic…i guess an interesting song to me
would be about how easy it is to give up, to give in,
to sink the boat that they built us to drown in…
March 19th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Id say that when I hear the new Circa album I will probably pop a boner…cept im a girl so…theres that. But it was funny cause my friend had asked this one dude “do guys really get boners every morning?” and he had replied with “do girls get boners every morning?” and I had said “yeah”…idk I guess I was just reminded of that, im weird too huh?
lol keep up the awesomeness MR Anthony!
XD

March 21st, 2009 at 7:27 am
my 18 yr old son introduced me to your music last week and i immediately downloaded Avalon from itunes… can’t get enough of it, soothing but enlivening at the same time. naturally, i’m sharing it with everyone in my peer group as well : ) best wishes from southern california and good luck with circa..
March 22nd, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Anthony,
you’re my hero man, I hope you’re music keeps getting better dude. I don’t think i’ve ever been attached to a song like the ones from you, your lyrics are so fucking awesome! They’ve helped me through some rough times and they’ve made the good ones even better, but I wanted to say thanks for bringing such creativity into the world and inspiring so many of your fans, i just hope that someday when i can say Anthony Green anywhere and everyone around me knows who i’m talking about
you’re the man-dude lol
Peace,

April 29th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
i have a song idea..
my mom’s mom started to suffer from schizophrenia when she turned 33. my mom was 12 years old and she witnessed her mom in the worst stages while she was in her teens. my mom didnt get treated very well either by her mom. she would do things like leave her in the woods at night and cut out locks of her hair… when my mom told me the stories i thought about how strong of a woman she really is.. anyways when my mom finally moved out and went to college she sort of lost contact with her mom. she was doing the education thing and was pretty much just glad to get away from everything. she met my dad and had me later on in life and when i was 7, we went to visit her mom in her little house in the middle of nowhere. i remember it so vividly even though it was the only time i ever saw her and i was so young. she was very frail looking and pale. she had alot of cats too… it was mystyrious as well because even in her state of mind she recognized my mom and seemed to have forgotten the past. she was covered in a thick coat of some kind of powder that created a large cloud with each hug given. it was like i could see the story my mom and grandma shared in the cloud of powder. and when it disappeared it symbolized that my grandma had forgotten even though my mom still remembered and held all the feelings inside her.. it was almost unfair to see. my grandma didn’t have her conscience telling her to feel bad for my mom or the weight of her actions on her shoulders. she simply had forgotten. a few years later, my parents got divorced and in the middle of everything, my mom got a call and found out her mother died. i wasnt there to witness her reaction but i imagine it was pretty bad because it had been years since i saw my grandma and i think the last time my mom saw her was when i did. all those years of no contact just added to the blow…
but my song idea was to maybe describe a person’s state of mind when they have no choice but to forget everything realistic and can only hear and imagine things that come from their blank minds. imagine the possibilities of a mind that knows nothing therefore has no boundaries and an imagination that can dream up anything. you know?
or a song about a generational schizophrenia curse with every other generation having to suffer some of the things my mom suffered. or when the schizophrenia skips a generation, a parent’s pain of knowing for sure that their child is going to suffer from it.
just some ideas.
April 30th, 2009 at 5:23 am
your music gives me a cloner.
April 30th, 2009 at 10:41 am
First of all love the band cicra survive as well as your solo project and cant wait for new cicra survive and one more thing you should make a song out when it rain it amplifiles the color of the grass and everything around it
May 1st, 2009 at 7:37 pm
ppl everywhere say songwriters are storytellers and we all know u’re so much more than that, i pee everytime i hear ur vocals and buddah knows i fall in love everytime i hear ur solo songs, it’s insane how u put all ur feelings in a paper sheet and sing ur heart out in every record haha u’re insanely good, aftr chino moreno, u’re my music god and one of my biggest sources of inspiration for my arts and everyday life and i can’t thank u enough for that, without even realizing u’re a part of so many ppl’s life and in so mani aspects. Well, i think u already knew that so
adios from chile!

When you see a cop car with a headlight out.
When you know you’re being watched.
When you point at an unmovable object
and point at it yelling, “I Want It”
When words fail.

Thank you so much!

I just had this idea:
what if you combined Anthony’s vocals, techno/electronica sound (including adding vocal effects to Anthony’s voice at times), clapping & stomping(Anathallo style), along with the already amazing Circa guitar & drums?
May 15th, 2009 at 9:08 am
I would really love to know where you get your influences from for your lyrics? I can relate to many of them which makes me wonder, especially Living Together, the way I interpet it at least, was there a specific subject you were trying to hit on?
May 23rd, 2009 at 11:49 pm
Hey Anthony. I just wanted to say, that lately, I’ve stepped away from Circa Survive, to rejuvenate my love for it. I ended up finding the “Translating the Name EP” you did with Saosin. It made me start to think.
Initially, my thought was: Wow, this is some really well done Screamo/Post-Hardcore. An art form of music, which has completely lost it’s focus and direction, and seems to have back peddled.
My second thought was… I’m more like you as who you were in Saosin, than who you are now with Circa. You see… me and my best friend, Dan, are both fans of your work. But I realized, that I’m not where you are now, in terms of expressing yourself. My friend Dan, is though. I realized I’m more like you in Saosin. When things were a bit more aggressive, and the tonality spoke for itself, without having to push metaphorical lyrics to get the point. If that at all makes sense.
My final thought was… I want to see more aggression out of you. I know you man. I know that I know you. Because I wake up, and I think the same things you do. I read Interviews you conduct, and I know where your head is at man. And I just want to see a bit more “umph”… maybe even some “hutsva” out of you.
Get back to me. I’d love to talk anytime. I understand if you don’t want to, or even just CAN’T; not even a desire of not wanting to. I’ll keep track of this topic.
I want to leave you with this man… God loves you. As do I. As do the rest of your fans. There is nothing but a positive out pour of love, in this world.
Much love Anthony…

How an orgasm instantly changes your focus.
May 25th, 2009 at 10:31 am
Four days ago, two young men, fathers; both reserved and finally content, faced their only answer, their release. It was the moment they had long sought. Another chance to to connect and renew. Neither could recall a youthful memory without the other’s presence. It was calming to think. Distance and time change certain things, but not inherant truthes of the heart. Sometimes a man finds himself at a point where he looks back to try to remember what led him there. Sometimes he is just appeased to be somewhere and back among your own. If there was a tie that caused a tight seal, it would be this. Rod and reels in hand, cooler of ale, lack of agenda, no festering awkwardness. the oceans cool breeze as the seagulls dropped dead clams on the jetty. There was a low shorebreak where the jetty met the inlet. No one spoke. Their will was the same. They sought solitude, together. People wait all year to return to nature when in fact, it is everywhere at all times. Its sometimes hard to notice in a world of bricks, pavement and gigantic glass covered metal wafers that obstruct the sky. You dont always get to live the life you choose. Sometimes it chooses you. Twin brothers and the quiet sea.

Twice this happened, three if you count dreams. I am a simple guy, who neither seeks fortune, nor really deserves it.
For some reason batteries are not up to par with technology as they become sluggish and never quite measure up to their initial potential. This was even more true in the recent past. It was the early 90’s and I was driven by my mother to the local hobby shop to buy a new battery for my Blackfoot, a remote controlled mini-monster truck. I used to strap a camcorder to it and try to hit ducks that were in the baseball field behind my house. after i was rung up for the 50 dollar battery, a man emerged from the back room smiling as he approached me and my mother. “you’ve won!” “you are the 100,000th transaction that this business has made you have won a $1000 dollar savings bond” he informed us.
Year later, while I was attending the state university across state, I acted upon my desire for pineapple juice. It makes me feel really good. I was out of cash so, I was going to get a can and go out through the back door, a move I had pulled successfully two times before. No ones is ever back there. I was living on campus and my car broke down every trip I tried to make so I walked the three mile hike to the SuperFresh. It took me a little over an hour, I bumped into this guy Rich from my biology class a few blocks away from town and we chatted about this how hot this girl Nicole was looking yesterday in class for about 10 minutes. I made it to the store within a few minutes and finished up my cigarette outside as a few stray people funneled in through the doors. I, a little sweaty now, was looking forward to the air conditioned store and walked in. Confetti and balloons fell on my head after i entered the door. I heard a siren, which was loud and made me nervous. A smiling man in a grey suit and green tie approached me from my left as he exclaimed “Congratualations! You are our 10,000,000th customer. You have won a check for 10,000 dollars!” A man hinding behind a camera approached from my right and flashed that damn thing in my face. I had a fake shit eating grin on my face as the camera guy snapped the kodak moment of the suit handing me the oversized check as i shook his hand with my other hand. I was pissed, dehydrated and thirsty, as I could not slip through the back unnoticed now. But i saw my buddy, Mike’s girlfriend Mandy was working the register across the room and she lent me $1.25 for a water out of the vending machine. i think karma is just as blind as cupid.

we live now. futuristic technology is yesterdays news. we have never been so connected to each other, yet so removed. texting, celphones and email disguise and dilute the “person” in personal correspondences. there are less and less face to face interactions. most people i know and see never look people in the eyes. awkwardness in person is rampant and growing. our interaction-skills are suffering. most don’t notice but it has changed the rules, making it harder for people to get a chance to connect. people have never been more attractive looking however they are not “attractive” and actually seem to permeate an invisible forcefield surrounding them, distancing themselves and making them seem less approachable. and to make matters worse, now have the option of disappearing from the situation they’re in by texting or talking with their cel-phone. I miss the days when you were where you are, if your going to communicate with someone, they have to actually be in the room. presence has been underminded. the importance of actual has diminished. we have lost something here. we unknowingly traded it for pennies on the dollar.

Hey Anthony.
I was thinking about how graceful acrobatics are lately. The idea that a person can throw himself at such a height and manage to perform a specific shape and still land with every part of the human body in tact I find personally is really fascinating.
Just a thought.
Take care of yourself.

of the penchant founder, the maelstrom; hence the boundaries.
tie with lathe and focused; enactments lurk, the fallen example.
too keen; his breath ached. poured and coursed, inlayed within.
Settled until lost, passed; unfolded until you.
As a truce could be called, we asked ourselves in our own regard.
Unblinded by lack of sway, we emerged and reponded. This was it.
tact enabled at arms length, it was misspoken long ago.
as and until now, the link was defined by a trial of eyes.
Fall into the place that can change the space between you and we.
idling, tanked; pedistals, open roads,
chanced will, losing no hope to find.
underneath the console was a shape; sharp edges,
tucked beneath the interiors soft resolve.
It was an option, as any had said.
the choice was not in it’s path but it’s roots.
glipses of chanced designs lay strewn thoughout the lawned stoop.
all that remained had encased its ocean above sights height.
have you ever felt on the brink
as though something was always in the corner of eyes.
it belongs here. and so might we.
a sited example, a draft of the rough,
a conclusion withdrawn.

Anthony, can you please do more interprative songs o any future songs you work on? House of Leaves is the most beautifully artistic song I’ll ever hear. It’d be cool if you did something representing movies like Eraserhead, in any of your bands (circa, tsaof) or solo.

so anthony i’m you’re biggest fan just like everyone else in the world who listens to you but for some strange reason you’re feeling compelled to answer this one obnoxious plead that is of course redundant and overly-cliche in every sense of the word, especially to you and i get that. as nice of a guy as you are there’s only so much love to be spread around; i feel that anyone like you knows that. it’s impossible to get to everyone, but for what it’s worth, I believe that if there were ever a person that at least wanted to try and reach out to every fan that looked up to him/her, it would in fact be you. so point being is my graduation party is tomorrow feel free to call for an rsvp but im not posting my number on the internet cause i dont want angry fans making fun of me; this was more for the sake of what i had to say, not that i actually expected you to come haha.

The 24th comment down said something about Lolita. Indeed it’s interesting but it’s also beautifully excuted in a way that brings the unrelenting cognition of paedophilia to the eyes of many and at the same time showed how weak in a sense people can be when they fall in love. Nabokov was a real genius but I believe Look At The Harlequins! was his greatest work. He was a passionate writer, the story just leapt off the page and circulated your mind.
Anyway, that’s enough about Mr. Nabokov. I can’t wait to hear any of the new material that’ll be coming our way. Some of the comments on here are so poetic, it’s amazing.
Stay safe

Just wanted to say anthony green you’re amazing and i named a song after you on my myspace called “shades of green”. It isn’t about you or anything creepy but you were what I was listening to at the time that I wrote it. You’re a great inspiration and Avalon is on of my favorite cds ever.

You know, It took me a while to get to really hearing Avalon and its sublime. You have an amazing set of talents that never cease to brighten my night. If only for 4 minutes and 5 second. Keep it coming my brother.
