Valentine’s day is coming up, so I figured  I’d do a song about love. Really Sad Love Song is about an artist who realises that many of the best songs aren’t about happy love. The music is made up of some of my favorite musical elements – a deep, smooth bassline, lots of keys, and a back-to-basics type hip-hop beat. Click read more for the lyrics.

To come up with the music for Monster, I just added and removed instruments, notes, and parts until I came up with the basis of something I liked. At that point, I had to listen to it a bunch of times before lyrics started coming to me. I didn’t know what the song was about until the first verse started forming in my head.  Hit the read more link to read the lyrics.

I’m cheating a bit with this first track. My studio is in the process of getting moved so I haven’t really started making songs for NothingExpected yet. Restless is a track I made a while back. Normally, I’ll try to write a blurb about the making of the track, but I honestlydon’t remember too much about this one. That’s ok, the music should speak for itself.

My goal for 2009 is to make as many songs as possible and to make them all freely available as soon as they are finished. That’s it. I’m not spending the year trying to finish albums, make new websites, or doing any of the other things that can distract an artist from making art. NothingExpected.com will be my (relatively) no-frills delivery system to make these tracks available as soon as I finish them.
