Heroes

A demo track of my vocals with Jumpin Jack Flash by Rolling Stones

Jumpin Jack Flash

This was the first song I wrote for Songwriting I class fall semester of 2014.  The assignment was to write a 3 verse, strophic song with a title-line refrain.  This is also my first full song - both vocals and instrumentals - that I've written.

As The Smell Of Ginger Softness Lingered

This was a song collaboration that I wrote in Songwriting I.  I wrote the lyrics/vocal melody, and Mike Ewers wrote the instrumentals.  There is a bass and a guitar part, but we recorded the midi track for the sake of expediency with the assignment.  

 

The assignment was to write a song for a movie scene.  We were given several prompts to choose from, and here is the one we chose:

 

Film Title:  Going, Going Gone.  One of the main characters, James, in his early twenties, finished college with a degree in finance, and will follow in his father's banking footsteps, but he feels empty.  He doesn't think that he has ever done anything meaningful and he has rarely taken risks.  Rather than begin his career, James decided to trek across America.  In this scene, as he sets out from Los Angeles through the desert, a song comes on the radio that seems to reflect his desire for something more.

 

This song is our answer to that prompt!
