Drive Demo

Hello again!

It's been a while, as per usual these days.

But I have an extra-special treat for you!

I recorded my very first demo just the other day. It's a cover of "Drive," by Incubus. Here it is!

This song has always had a special place in my heart. I love the message and...it's just very pleasant to listen to. :)
As mentioned, I will be putting it on my demos EP along with 5 original songs soon.
So what do you think??

Letter to My Readers

Dear Readers,

You may have noticed that I haven't posted much content lately. Well...that's not exactly true. I've posted videos of myself singing and stuff, but not much in the way of other artists.

I guess that kind of speaks for itself. I'm at a point in my life where I want to focus more on my own work than the work of others. That doesn't mean that I'm never gonna post about other artists again, however; just not quite as often.

I'm quite serious about becoming a successful recording artist in the (hopefully) near future. I've gotten very into guitar, songwriting, etc. lately and it's pretty exciting stuff. I want to produce demos, perform, get signed...the whole shebang.

It'll take a lot of time and work, but it'll be worth it. So look forward to the future. It'll be great. :)

I can't be 100% positive of what the future will bring. Everyone's path is different. But I can say that I will do whatever it takes.

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that this blog is getting a facelift of sorts. I'm not stopping coverage of other artists, but I'm going to implement a lot more personal stuff. It's gonna be big. ;)

*phew* Glad I got that off my chest. Just letting you guys know that I haven't died or anything. Love you. <3

This is another one of the songs that I plan on producing a demo for. Exciting, no? Let me know what you think!

Sing It!

Once again, I find myself saying that it's been a while. Stupid life...

But! I have something special for you today. An original song, entitled "This Is My Life."

Here it is:

I'm planning on producing demos of this song and about 3 others. It's pretty exciting stuff. Stay tuned. :)

So what do think??

Listen Between the Lines

Lifehouse has recently enlisted the help of Natasha Bedingfield for the song "Between the Raindrops."

Between the Raindrops with You

I'm kinda diggin it. It has kind of an old west sound, especially with the bassline at  the end. Both vocalists sound good individually and have a nice balance of octaves and harmony when singing together.

A few days ago, it received a music video. Here it is:

First off, NB looks amazing. Also, I think the visuals fit the song well. So I don't mind the lack of a cohesive storyline too much.

What do you think, music munchkins?
