You know that good fuzzy feeling you get when you finish something worthwhile. Ya, I’m basking in that warm glow, all the while feeling the heaviness of the meth crisis & pain it is causing for so many.
Will share the final promo vid as soon as I can, hoping next week, but seriously can’t wait for you to see & hear the initial story featuring the “Bear Clan Patrol‘ for the ground breaking documentary Meth- Community Under Siege.
Sooooo….Love the movie Finding Nemo… ‘just keep swimming’, ‘just keep swimming’!!!! This popped into my head today, after a 2-hour long songwriting session, with the infamous lyricist/vocalist Ed Legal.
Here are three video highlights. Please only watch if you want to see raw creativity at inception! This is the raw beginning of the creative process …
Please don’t watch if you are expecting Top 40…
Pull The Pin happened last 10 minutes of session:
Mason Jar (was a song I wrote called Slept In Days… Ed has come up with something I never could have imagined).
Here is an acoustic original, called Wish Upon a Shooting Star, I have been dabbling with for some time. Started writing this one a few years back, and is based upon the cliche of the wishing we all do; wishing wells, shooting stars, coin ponds, etc. I have the Lyrics posted below the video 🙂 Hope you enjoy!
Wish Upon a Shooting StarLyrics
Wished upon a shooting star. Hope to make my life better.
Realized it was a plane. 747 feel so lame.
Threw a coin in that pond, bounced right back like a billabong.
Cross my fingers, hope to die, poke a needle in my eye.
Dreams do come true. Just not for me & you.
Dreams do come true. Just not for me, not for me and you.
Threw a dollar in that wishing well, prayed to God there is no hell.
God damn, now I’m broke, little birdie whispered I’m the joke.
Held my breath & wished again for little birdie to be my friend.
Forgot to breathe, and I passed out, right down that wishing well.
Dreams do come true. Just not for me & you.
Dreams do come true. Just not for me, not for me and you.
Dreams do come true. Just not for me & you.
Dreams do come true. Just not for me, not for me and you.
Was able to get together last week for a 2nd writing session with Ed, from The Midnight Move. After a long hiatus, feels pretty amazing to get back to writing. I’ve always enjoyed just being the rhythm guitarist at times, and especially finding the right groove for a song. Having said that, I feel some wicked back up vocals coming up soon. (Save that for later 🙂
Ed has written some wicked lyrics here. Hope you enjoy & stay tuned…
It has been an interesting RIDE releasing ‘Rock The Water’! A highlight for sure has been hearing my songs on the radio for the first time. No doubt… even though it was 7:15 am in the morning on college radio a few weeks ago, I had an ear to ear freaking grin that hasn’t subsided since…
Thank you to KMo at CKUW, 95.9 University of Winnipeg College, radio for making this a reality, and letting me come in to sing ‘Mr Maker’ live. I have posted the full radio interview on SoundCloud here :
Here is the video of the song Mr Maker that I sang live on radio. It’s definitely rough, but again a big, big thanks to KMo for grabbing the video camera and catching the moment live in technicolor!
