Just a day over 14 months ago we were given the gift called Of the Seas, Bella's featured 4th record that had the most significant gap between the last record..... at the time. Now, over a year later, she's got another amazing gift for all of you. Through tireless days and struggle to find a new story for another record, she made of what time she had to write and create music for her next record. And finally, the wait is over! Here, she gives you today, Discovery.

Tell us about Discovery.
Bella: Discovery is my 5th and final record. Just kidding. There's more, I promise. But um, Discovery is a long, tiresome, and powerful piece of work. I didn't expect it to take me this long to make a freakin' record seeing as I have made 4 of them before it. But this one is pretty special so I am glad I took my time. This one kind of frames my whole life. Because back one day I was looking through old notebooks I had a few ancient songs in, (they were no good) except for one that I did see had some good quality lyrics in it (One and Only Fearless Heart) which was probably from when I was maybe 11. So I dusted off that chestnut and turned it into something awesome. But it really comes down to writing about the person I've become and it is a person I've really enjoyed to see finally arrive. I've got this strength, courage, independence, and happiness that I never found in MYSELF before. And now that I'm this person, it's like, wow, look at all this messy stuff that doesn't really seem so scary and intimidating anymore. That's really cool to see. So it really just comes down to discovering who I've become, who I am, and ultimately who I want to be.
Someone noted that you tweeted a while ago about a song called 'Fire and Flames' that you wrote one day and you always play it when you're angry. Is that the same Fire and Flames in this record?
That's a funny thing. I did write the original Fire and Flames AGES ago, I think in the beginning of Of the Seas actually. And uh, I was just angry one night and I was strumming really angrily on my guitar and had this really cool jam going and wrote these really angry lyrics to it and it never really had a name haha, so one day I was playing it and then I did that tweet something like, "I'm gonna call this Fire and Flames because I was firing and burning with anger when I wrote it" and also mentioned that the lyrics were crap. Haha they honestly were, and I still have them too. So I thought, hmm, maybe I can rewrite this and turn it into an actually good song. So I did, and now it stands as my angry jam with a cool story hanging in the midst.
What is the song Sunshine about?
Sunshine is actually a dream song I wanted to write. It involves the chorus of 'You Are My Sunshine' and it's essentially my spin off of it. It's just a cute little diddy that I created from that song because it has always been one of my favourites to sing. So now I have my own version to be proud of!
What's the first thing you do when you finish a record?
Get exited. Then the very first thing I do is play the entire record and just make it all feel final and catch the mistakes I might have missed. Then I finalize the track list. (Order of songs) and then I'm ready to bring it to the world.
Kaytebobs Blog!

Sooooooooooooooo
Well um, first things first. I haven't blogged since November.... 2012.... Ooops.
A lot has happened since then. God, a lot has happened since then.
Well 1, I'm engaged.
2- I'm going to South America for 8 months at the end of July with James.
3- I did some pretty stupid stuff that I'll get into
4- I got my laptop taken away for a century because of one of those things.
5- nearly god un-engaged because of one of those things.
Needless to say, a lot has happened since I last blogged.
We'll start with the first part. One night, I was having a really terrible night, courteous to family, and friends, and there was an enormous fight with James that ended with him threatening to cancel our engagement and break up for good. This causing me to do something pretty reckless and take out my emotions and anger on the WRONG people. And I definitely regret that.
The day after that, I went to one of my friends houses' after school that I thought I could count on this person. I was wrong.
Turns out she is a smoker and lied to me about it. And I don't mean just smokes, I mean pot. I didn't know that. Until the next morning when my mom found it in my bag. The day before, that friend asked if she could put her purse in my bag, and I guess it fell out. Because it obviously wasn't my weed that my mom found. Of course, they completely flip out. One of the very biggest fights to ever have happened in my family. And of course, they didn't believe me when I told them I had no idea where it came from. Of course I soon put that puzzle together and knew whose it was. No laptop, no friends, no nothing. Completely cut off and James was still really angry.
In the midst of my whole life falling apart right before my eyes, I took a walk. A few weeks into grounding, I found myself at the park halfway between mine and James' house. I knew he was working that night, so him and maybe a friend wouldn't be there. That was until he inevitably drove by (has his license and can drive himself) and apparently noticed me. He didn't stop. Still mad. I decided that was not how we worked and he should have stopped, and talked to me. So I took a look at the ring on my finger and angrily walked to his house. I took of the ring, put it in front of the door, rang the bell and ran home. He should have been there for me right? We are engaged, he should have just forgiven me. Right?
Little did I know, it was really tearing him apart more than I knew. I guess he found my ring and just had an emotional breakdown and called me to meet him where we got engaged. So I did. When I got there, he was there waiting for me. I stood in front of him and looked into his intimidating eyes. He had been doing some crying, obviously. Eyes were really red and he looked a mess. I'll skip the emotional bit he gave me. But when he was done, he grabbed my hand, and slid my ring back onto my finger. We hugged for what seemed like forever and then he sat with me on my doorstep until about 11, just listening to me cry my eyes out and talk. He didn't want to leave, because we'd been apart for so long, but my grounding was still in partial effect.
Things have gotten better since then and I'm excited to go to South America with him this summer. And that's what happened
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Nope it's November, noob.
So hey
I am Kaytelynne and I have returned.... again
but this time for good. I hope *fingers crossed*
First time, I had my laptop taken away because I was doing very poorly in one of my classes! I got that back for like.. 2 or 3 days before the second time...
When my laptop like busted. Screen went black. Nothing was happening. Sent it to the peeps, and now I got it back this morning. And it's working good as new! Hopefully this me-missing-for-weeks crap is finally over. So now it's November yet again. I went out to a friends for Halloween and there was so many treats! Pretty sure I'm diabetic now lololol. It was my first time bobbing for apples. I thought they only did that in movies... Oh
And suddenly we're talking a lot about college at school. I'm in my last year and we're getting around the time where we need to apply. Scary. Though me and James have a route we think we'll be taking after high school, we may go to college someday. So we're briefly taking a look at some of them and have a few ideas. What we'll be doing after high school isn't set in stone yet because there is a ton of steps we need to take in order to do it! But we haven't really told anyone other then maybe 4 people about this plan. In time, my friends.
And I'm really hungry right now. And it's Sunday. I want some Sunday bacon. Maybe me and James will make it for like dinner or something haha. I'm going over later. Still get anxious for people in Mississauga to put up their Christmas lights. A little early? I don't think so!
I am trying to make this post nice and long so that you guys can have that Kaytebob void in your heart ALL FILLED UP! I'll also have to apologize to my followers on Twitter after this. Oooooops! And where is Ressel? Or even Tella for that matter. NEITHER OF THEM ARE AWAKE AND I HAVEN'T TALKED TO THEM IN A LONG TIME. WAKE UP TELLLLAAAAAAAA
I can't wait for Christmas! Soooo much funnnnnn. I can't wait for turkey, and fooood, and stuffing, mmmm. And Bella is leaving Canada in 8 months :( Why Bella. WHy. I've also been working a bit and getting some cash flow and spending it like CRAYZAY. But I truly need to save a good chunk of it for *insert plan after high school*. So I've been spending what I haven't been saving heheheheheh.
I still don't think this is long enough. I'm trying to think of things to talk about but it's like WHAT. I'm doing pretty well in school though! :D
I guess that is all folks
Have a nice day
Smile
And don't wet the bed.
Love always,
Kaytelynne.

My life
Yeah so. Things have been. I don't even know how to describe it. They just aren't good right now.
I am feeling very very guilty about a lot of just dumb stuff that I shouldn't be and ah. It's just stressful at the moment and it's a weight that I carry around with me.
This is a short post. But bleh. It's just kinda how things are going as of right now. I'm trying to hold it together
I know it'll take some time to figure out and get through. Hope things are going well for all of you.
Love you guys.
Kaytelynne.

SURPASSED THE 750 MARK.
SO GUYS. THERE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY 753 OF YOU! I COULDN'T BE MORE HAPPY THAT MY BLOG HAS GOTTEN THIS FAR IN TWO YEARS. IT'S SO AMAZING THAT YOU GUYS ARE SO LOVELY TO ME AND HAVE BEEN WITH ME ON THIS CRAZY JOURNEY FOR SO LONG! Anyways, I wanted to make a post because obviously I've hit such an awesome goal!

Obviously yes I would like to know there's a lot of you out there reading all of these things about my life and things of that nature, but I feel like you guys are my family, and my friends! And I love you guys, and appreciate you guys! :)
But anyways. Today I spent my day with James and we just had a lovely time. We were going to go to the beach but realized there was no vehicle available today to do so! So we just spent the day at his place, and we went for a walk, got dinner, and just spent the day together and had a pretty perfect time <3
We're nearly at 20 months together! That's SO long! I'm so so excited. <3 It's my turn again to pick what we're doing and I'M SO STOKED! But he promised to pick our 2 year activities. :')
That's one thing I DEFINITELY cannot wait for.
I don't know. Things just feel alright. They feel good. Like I've had a lot of crappy things happen to me this summer, but I've also had a ton of GREAT things happen to me this summer. And that's really awesome. Some people are struggling, some people are fighting, and I don't know, I just feel like you guys should know that I'm here! And maybe I haven't been through exactly what you have, or what you are, but I am always here to talk to you guys! I get a good amount of messages from you guys! And that's awesome! So keep them coming and don't be afraid! I'll be here for whatever you may need! Always! I promise.
But, next time, since lately I've been getting REALLY GOOD questions for Bella that you guys have been sending me, I will use them in my next blog post! Which COULD be tomorrow! So stay tuned for that guys. Keep the questions coming! WHATEVER you guys wanna know! I'll hopefully make it a long one!
Until then! Have a good night! <3

Well it's August.
Hi kids!
It's Kaytelynne. I am just hanging at my house with my cute little boyfriend James and we're watching the Olympics closing ceremony. That was fast. I watched a bunch of it but didn't really care because ya'know. I just don't. Well, James has been making me because he really likes watching them for some strange reason. And I am pretty sure his dad's parents are from England! Cool huh!
And then his mother is Canadian. Like she should be. ;)
But anyway, we spent the day together and made-up from the day before which we had a fight, but I won't go into detail about that because it's all over now!
But oh my goodness I almost have 750 readers! Yes! You guys are awesome! I can't thank you enough and tell you how much I appreciate it! Makes me feel loved <3
And I love you guys too.
But! I'm kinda getting used to Damen not being here! And him turning 19! We had a bash at our place for him with all of his friends and our family and it was really fun! He's preparing for college and he's gonna do really well! And I'm going into my last year of high school and I am truly worried but excited. I mean it's awesome because it's A NEW YEAR, and NEW FRIENDS, and NEW MEMORIES, and my last chance to see a lot of these people! I actually love back to school shopping, not gonna lie. Haha.
PS- way to go America on your win! I'm not sure what place Canada came in. But I mean, we deserve to win. We're cool people. Eh? But we'll do EXTREMELY well in the winter olympics. For sure. It's basically our specialty! ;)
I can't wait for Christmas lights! Me and James will go for lots of walks. Because ya know, that's how we began pretty much! And I just loooooooove Christmas lights!
Hmm, what else is going on right now.. Well I guess that I should be needing to get a job soon! I mean I'm already 17 and not getting any younger! I must do this. And I must get a cellphone because I feel disgraceful hahaha.
Anyways, I must be ending this blog. But thanks for reading, all 744 of you! Keep sharing and telling your friends about my blog! Means so much to me! <3
Love always,
Kaytelynne.
