Just Breathe Tour Stop Guest Interview +Giveaway


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**ExhaleJust 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_effects.jpg
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.
