Revision 5 of the opening number in a musical, "Just Within Reach," I've written.  Currently between second and third draft.

"This Is Gonna Be My Year" - Just Within Reach, Act 1, Scene 1

Hamilton, Ben Folds, and I had a baby together.  It came out as this song.

Maybe you like it, maybe you don't.  Thanks for listening!

Written, Produced, Arranged, and Recorded by Adam MacMillan

Sob Story

"These Walls" is the Act 1 climax and final scene of the musical, "Just Within Reach."  This is Adam "in the office," pondering and getting ready to quit his job, and then letting it loose & quitting.  There are a few spoken parts in the song; although in the recording they are my voice, they represent some of the people in "Adam's life" in the first act.

Written, Recorded, Arranged, and Produced by Adam MacMillan
