Its a dark little diddy to be sure. Tell me what fictional characters this song conjures up when you listen and then I’ll reveal the inspiration for it. Go to the song page for the FREE DOWNLOAD. Only two more songs to go on the Murmuration project. ]]> http://jasonroe.com/blog/2010/07/breaking-song-10-for-this-project/feed/ 0 Be in the now – this weeks tune http://jasonroe.com/blog/2010/03/be-in-the-now-this-weeks-tune/ http://jasonroe.com/blog/2010/03/be-in-the-now-this-weeks-tune/#comments Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:09:40 +0000 JRoe http://jasonroe.com/blog/?p=768 Be-in-the-Now

Ok – definitely got sidetracked there but I’m back. Only 3 more songs to complete this project.  For Be in the Now I tried some new mic’ing techniques on this one and really like how the lead vox turned out. Also made a slight change to the chorus melody with a happy accident that turned out to be a keeper.

This weeks song is a redux of Soul Song – which originally appeared on my debut recording. This time its a little more up tempo with some instrumentation and I’m joined once again by the amazing vocalist Jen Crowe. The art work is by: Nevit Dilmen

This weeks song Reach. Back from a brief break. The artwork is an original photograph of my twelve-string guitar that I used to record this song. It has a drawing of “The Man in the Maze” from the  Tohono O’odom tribe in Arizona on it. To me represents life’s journey and a lot of what I write about.

Inside features the incredibly talented Jen Crowe. Some of you may have caught us when we were doing a weekly show at Genghis Cohen. We recorded this song as well as a updated version of Soul Song (will be released too). Jen and I plan to record the acoustic versions from the set we did.

The Song Art this week comes from U.K artist: Joe Sutherland. I chose it because fractals are inward and infinite. Like the complexity of relationships which this song is about.

Amen

I often feel a breeze
It sends me back to when
My lover’s sent I breath
Saying Amen
Say Amen

Let your worries fly away
She says they don’t have wings
Well don’t you hurry
Love will bring you home to me
Amen

I often feel a breeze
It sends me back to when
My lover’s lips I feel
Pressed against my skin
Say Amen.

How Can it Be – The Department of Redundancy Department called…again.

You know I love me some gizmos, so don’t get me wrong. This song is a poke with a wink and nod to the technology I embrace and create with. Sometimes it feels like a distraction though. Other tunes of mine had a darker ring to this idea of access but disconnection. Sensing a theme?

Anyway. I do tend to repeat myself. But I never say the same thing twice.

So here is this weeks download. City Life.

I also decided to give each song a little flair with some individual art work for each song.  What do you think? If anyone is inspired to create their own album art for this or any of the other songs please post it!
