This site is partially to keep people up to speed with what we are doing over here. I’ve been playing a lot of guitar, for one. I mostly just play other peoples’ songs, but I occasionally try my hand at original creations. This is probably the third song I have ever written and I’m going to post it for your entertainment. The usual disclaimers about performance and singing apply. For some reason, being half a world away gives me the courage to post this. I’ll be embarrassed when I see you all again.
There is a back story to this song that I seriously hope some of you will get. I’m not even going to tell the story right now so those who will catch the reference can be surprised when you hear it. I’ll post a follow up in a while if nobody gets it. Or you can just Google the title character of the song to find out more about the inspiration (it would be the second hit - not the Evangelist).

haha. sweet! No reason to be embarrased that kicks ass!
Mom K, October 18, 2005 11:59 PM:Great song Bry, and nice accompaniment Cheryl.
Bryan, October 19, 2005 12:19 AM:There is nothing I would love more than for Chizzy to join in on the fun, but alas... that is all me. We are talking about getting a keyboard going though because she has always wanted to learn piano.
Mom K, October 19, 2005 01:37 AM:It did sound like two people singing at the very end. How did you do that?
Wheelson, October 19, 2005 06:27 AM:I'm sorry to Mom K but your comment cracked me up as much as the song. That's EXACTLY the kind of comment my mom would make!
That song is awesome. When does the extended dance remix come out?
Bryan, October 19, 2005 10:50 AM:Yeah, a dance remix could be good but somebody else is going to have to take that one on. I currently have no way to "lay down some drum and bass shit". Maybe the keyboard we are thinking about will have some beat functionality.
Mom, to answer your question; I sang that part a few times (once in a higher voice) and laid them over each other. I'm taking the Chizzy comment as a compliment.
mountain boy, October 20, 2005 09:12 PM:that sounded great you guys. you underestimate your skill level bryan! the guitar work was smooth and your harmony was sweet. I'm waiting for Chizzy & Bryan to make it big on Swiss college radio.
Bryan, October 20, 2005 09:43 PM:Nobody has mentioned the reference yet, so maybe I am a bigger geek than I thought. If you haven't seen the video, you should check it out here.
And if you really want to appreciate the finer details of it, this guy has the best breakdown of what is going on.
Big P, October 26, 2005 11:18 PM:Good stuff man, and the super dorks among us appreciate the reference. You need to post more music.
