Bleu "Save It for a Rainy Day" from the forthcoming "Besides" compilation (Fall 2011)

…i wrote this song with a long-time friend and collaborator Eric Barao…i really loved this song of his "Sugar and Cream" (which will be on his upcoming release, which i did some producing/playing/mixing on) and basically, i suckered him into writing a new tune based on it….if i remember correctly, we recorded everything pretty quickly on the spot in his basement (?)..except the drums, which were done later by my drummer at the time Dylan Halacy (at Tony Goddess's studio in Central Square)…anyway..i always liked the energy of this thing and i think it's a very appropriate title for the last track of this b-sides record!...

Bleu - Save it for a Rainy Day

Im  a "retired from gigging" guitarist/singer. After 20ish years of playing  Sweet Home Alabama in the bars until  2 am...well... I became burnt out. I. I will never be able to quit music altogether though.
      I have never gotten into writing until I quit gigging. Now its what I would prefer to do. I have started listening to different music since I started trying to write...I discovered Jellyfish a couple of years ago..WOW!!! Then found several groups from them...Just got a Bleu cd the other day..thats some real good stuff!!
     Im still developing my style...but its coming together. I hope I can incorporate all of my influences in my songs. The music itself seems to flow pretty easily for me..the lyrics are a different story.
     My subject matter tends to be blunt and to the point..some could call it negative I guess...but its just how I see it. Dont write lovee dovee crap.
    If you hear anything you like or have any comments or suggestions..let me know!!!

My name is Dax I'm an Orange County based singer/songwriter. my collection of songs here on SoundCloud are songs i've written for myself, songs i've co-written, or produced with other people for their records ...thanks for listenin'!
