this is pretty ruff, but i don't see myself rerecording it anytime soon plus i can't find the lyrics and i'm too lazy to write them down ... anyways. i guess its just a bunch of thoughts about God, a little dramatic. enjoy!
Peters version of this is actually fast so i decided to slow it down and make it "picky" also, i was always fascinated by the key change which isn't something i've done in my music (or at least on purpose haha i do have a key change on the chorus…

this was an idea also that i added a bunch of fun polyrhythms too... check it all the way out the beginning may be boring but hey,,, the song is like... 0:55 so you can't complain! and... i've never heard anyone rap to weird time signatures either…
another rap song which Young Reaper aka ashley brown calls his "gospel rap" i made a really happy beat to it... i think the chorus is really catchy... gets stuck in my head haha...
HAHAHAHA!
please tell me your doing the background "raiii" and "uh huh's"
good stuff.
you should look into things like cloud cult and electric president. they do beats like this with indiemoesque voices.
me gusta
their aren't many things that take "it puts me to sleep" as a complement. i think this song takes it wonderfully.
thanks jason for making music and letting me give it a try.

to my brother and sister. sometimes you don't realize who you were until you left. i value family so much, but somehow i don't live as if i do. i want to change this.
This song originally bored me. but i found out how to modulate and bend the sounds in a way that i enjoyed it. also listen for the appearance of my lovely Dumbek drum. :) enjoy
dude, i looked and i cant find what your talking about.
it looks like i will water record forever.
but on a sidenote, do you really like the songs? i find that charaticus guys' voice very offputting.
when you taking out another album that i can pop into a cd player?
cause i liked the last one.
also, sea sharp, yea, i geuss i should say something about that since im commenting on it.
how do you make it? is it on garageband?

This is an absolutely beautiful song written by Jon Foreman for his side project Fiction Family and I felt like givin it a shot soo I just kinda learnt it and threw it together theres a few flubbups but they kinda workout well in the end
enjoy :)
This is an old one...just wanted to share it.
Do you feel the tears fall
fall from heaven
gathering as puddles at your feet
does it stain your shoes?
if i stay long...no I won't
i won't bare it any longer
do you feel the heart sigh…
OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened?
Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)
thank you for the comment! i'm slowly learning how to make harmonies, some songs its just much harder on, and other just work themselves out almost... wierd. i sometimes use outside harmony help, i'll find a harmony on my guitar first or something to that nature...
This Song (Recorded and written in 06) done the conventional way. I Wrote the words 1st. I was thinking I would like to write a song kinda like those of the old days. Pretty straight forward and Not too abstract. I need to redo because the chorus…

hey thanks for the comment. what do you mean by "the spacial thing?" acctually, i'm not too pleased with how "a love song for the cursed" turned out, my friend who wrote it has an incredible voice so i guess its hard to match :D thanks again!
i think this is fairly self-explanitory...it was inspired by a line in The Brothers Karamazov, which went on to examining myself and my tendencies as a sinner.
From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow
The acoustic version in rough of Often hide with part of a song written back when I was putting my mind back together, it goes as a pair with Hammers. Sorry for the glitches, the MAC chirped in a battery warning during the recording, I would avoid…
kinda frightened rabbit bright eyes inpired.
threw it together.
my friend ran over my computer so i have to record this on whatever computer i can get at the time, so its not dont all that great, took about a n hour..
jiggles, you can record without that watery sound by going to your settings and turn off the setting that cuts extra noise. this haunted my music for ages before i figured it out. keep writing, i like it. it reminds me of bar style singalong. i love.
I name each instrument track that I lay down when creating a song. Sometimes it's simple, like "Bass" or "Drum Kit," but sometimes I get creative. "Breath of Men" was the name of one of the synth tracks on this song, and I ended up naming the…

Nice tune! I like the way it changes half way through. I would try to do the spacial thing all the way through.
Lovely to hear you sing.
powerful lyrics...sung from your heart.

i know you're from ohio, but is there anychance that you lived in Endicott NY? haha... peace
i say, loose the electric or pick a tune for it. i like how you do the layers. i kinda gave up on that. i was like... forget the full band...
by the way, i like the multiple guitar layers, its very rhythmic yet melodic!
