New songs for December; Advent. We were going to do something
cooler with the art work...but, well, as it tends to go, it didn't work
out so well. Therefore, I went to some churches website and
ripped off one of their pictures. I am sure they are ok with
it. Here you go:
Hope
Peace
Joy
Love
Unity
(Zip file containing all
songs/arts)
Hope
is the first song that Joey says he ever wrote with a theme in
mind. That theme being Christmas/Advent. I think it was
some what of a frustrating experience for him. If you didn't
notice, there is a girl singing on this track! Kristina Mosier
came over and sang a bit. Cool!
Peace is Paul's fairly depressing
and, very appropriately, December sounding song. I think it has
elements of Charlie Brown's Christmas and that really appeals to
me. How about you?
Joy...well, this is the very
first song I have ever written. True story! I told myself I
wouldn't write a 'song' until I could write a 'happy' song. And I
kind of did that...so now that it is out of the way, expect my true
self to shine--or the opposite thereof--through the next song I
write...which may never happen. Anyway, I like to think this song
is kind of a cross between Vanessa Carlton and Gustav Holst with some
Animal Collective/'Pottymouth'/Kim Gordon elements. What do you
think?
Love is a song that made very
little sense, in a sense, to me at first. But when it was all
done it was very cool. And then we come home one day and Joey
totally turned it into a Paper Route song! ...Jesus Train
anybody?
Unity/Christmas: Eerie at
times. Rather lengthy. If you manage to download it and
listen all the way through, I
will
personally buy you a smile from McDonalds. ...and a slice of
cheese.
Hope you enjoy our Advent creation. We very nearly came to blows
a number of times over various things...but we survived. We will
probably have the next set available the first of February, which I
like to call Groundhog Day Eve.
love ya!
Matt
