Woo Hoo!

Had a great time @ the summit last night.  I’m having a blast playing with these guys.  Here are a couple of the songs that we did last night.

  • Swimming Just to Drown this is a new one, I wrote in may of this year (i’d posted it on my myspace page, so some of you may have heard it acoustic before)
  • Happier to Go Away this is another new one.  It worked out nicely, I had the lyrics for a while and in about 5 minutes at practice one night I had the verse and chorus worked out.  Tim came up with the break and solo part and in about 15 minutes we had the full song fleshed out.  I think it really came out well and right now it’s my favorite tune that we’re doing.  I screwed up a couple of times as can be expected, but you get the idear…
  • Marmalade > Stasis  Not actually a segue i just couldn’t find a good spot to split them up.  Marmalade is an old one of mine that we’ve definitely made our own.  Stasis was the first song that we all wrote together.  Charlie, one of the people that came out was playin’ tamborine.
  • Riverside  This is another one that we’ve written together.  Tim wrote the chords and I did the lyrics and melody.  It’s a very different tune from what I’d usually write and I’m really psyched about the different directions that we’re going.

There’s a nice little sampling for you.  We had a nice little Soul Kitchen > At least Not Tonight > Sympathy for the Decible to close out the night but it was a little over 20 minutes and might be a little long to post here.
