Duet

So, I'm working on covering a duet with one of my old friend's girlfriend. She's got a great voice and plays the piano very well. I've never done a duet before. I've actually never even really tried to harmonize before. I've also never tried singing an R&B song before. So what we gonna have, desert or disaster? (Song joke. Im funnys.)

But yeah, we'll see how it goes. I'm very excited. I mean, it's making music. Why wouldn't I be all over it?

Videotape - Radiohead (SOTW)

A new one.

This isn't one of the songs I've been working on for a couple of weeks now, just something I came up with for a friend last night.




Lyrics:
Another bright and vivid day
Before the leaves turn dead and gray
Before the flowers fail to bloom
Every morning, in my room

I can feel as it awakes me
I can taste the air, it takes me
A gentle nudge in my direction
For my dreams, a misdirection

I'll walk on grassy ground
and The clouds will shift around
they let the sunlight bleed
what else could i ever need

I can feel as it awakes me
I can taste the air, it takes me
A gentle nudge in my direction
For my dreams, a misdirection

I'll sit among these flowers
Thick and thin through april showers
I hope this day will never fade
Me and this sunflower marmalade

SOTW

The Mars Volta - Ilyena

Stick with it past the weirdness intro if you're not into it...it picks up. A bit different from the other songs, but one of my favorites.

SONGOFTHEWEEK

Well, my sister is getting married tomorrow, so that coupled with work = no time for musics.

But I persist. Making progress on my song. Its getting better. Next week. Probably.

ANYWAY, this weeks song of the...week.redundant.is The Bird and the Bee - Ray Gun

It is delightful:
Youtube.
(No embed, I apologize.)

Anyway, enjoy it.

This weeks song and upcoming schedule.

Just kinda found out this song even had a video. The only Great Northern CD I've heard is the one this is off of, Remind Me Where the Light Is. It's a decent CD. This song, though, is simply mesmerizing. Please, enjoy yourself while listening to it.


Great Northern, New Tricks



Otherly:
I'm going to be posting a new video hopefully this week. I've either got to finish one of my new songs (I hate writing choruses) or I'll be doing a cover of Joey Eppard's Dead.

This new song I am really proud of. I tried to do something different lyrically and musically through the verse. Hopefully it's unique and I feel like it's helped me to hone in on how I write. Even if I have no idea what to do with the chorus.


Anyway, enough narcissism.

Kerry.

Song of the Week (?!)

So, in addition to posting updates to my various musical exploits, I'll be posting a song each week (roughly) sometime over the weekend that I'm currently enjoying.

So, the inaugural honor (fullofmyself) goes to...

*explicit*



Thom Yorke, Black Swan
