This was a project where we had to make a the sound of the picture.  I used a field recorder to get some farm sounds.  The wind was pretty rough so the horse galloping is very faint.  There are many other sounds that I think would be heard when a farmer is working.  In the distance there is a church and their bells ring as the couple stops to pray.  Then they go right back to work

"Better Off Dead" is a love song set in a zombie apocalypse world.  I love the story it tells.

Songs of the Dead is an album by Ethan and the Imaginary Friends, that I recorded, and produced.  The album is set in a post apocalyptic world and has some lo-fi tracks because in a zombie apocalypse, we might not have Protools.   This particular track I mixed on Protools.  This was my first serious project and I am really happy with the outcome.  

Better Off Dead

A collection of songs written and recorded from the imaginary perspective of a folk singer during the zombie apocalypse. During his travels he is chased from is home, joined by other aimless wanderers, bitten by his best friend and eventually turned into one of the walking dead himself.

"The Fall"
There is a stiff wind
Rattling the windows on my front door
The sound as it blows
A long and hollow moan
Makes me more frightened than
I've ever been before
There is a cheshire grin
On a politician
His faded face is a-watching from the wall
But just as sure as he ain't runnin' anymore
I know that pride always comes just right before the fall

<chorus>
And the fall comes before the dead of winter sets the score
There ain't no plow gonna come and clear your road
And the Devil clicks his heels
While God's still spinning his wheel
Better bundle up boy you'll die out there in the cold

There is a blood stain on my windowpane
I keep it there to remind me everyday
Whether you go sleeping in your bed or eating your own lead
Yer gonna be food for something or someone anyway
There is a blank page at the end of our age
Our voices cry from scribbles on the wall
But we still linger on
With our novels and our songs
I tip my hat to the ones who didn't survive the fall

<chorus>
