Leaving Skye

These are tracks from the movie musical I wrote called "Pop Diva." Lots of people I know hate musicals.This isn’t High School Musical or Hannah Montana. It’s not Les Miz or Broadway. People don’t bust out singing and dancing in the street. It’s more like Purple Rain, in that the music is there because people are really playing it.

It is less like Purple Rain in that Prince is a musical genius.

It’s about a groupie’s daughter turned pop star who struggles her way to the top, only to have her career nearly flame out under the pressure of tabloid fame and excess. She is redeemed by … well, you have to read it to find out.

You've Got A Lot Of Nerve - Jam / Demo

Heroes - Ish

My entry into the asitecalledfred.com Song Fu 2 on the theme of bioluminescence.

The bioluminescence in question her is the glowing algae in the ocean that appears in boat's wakes. Here, it is seen by a man who has fallen overboard at night and can see the ship sailing away from him and is drowning. Or maybe it's about a sad breakup? 

Man Overboard

The instrumental track for a song written for Ken Plume's Song Fu - Neil Gaiman's prompt "Write an anthem for us."

"Here at the end of the world" is supposed to have a double meaning - that it is a place for people to gather at the edge of the world, as well as a nod to 2012's apocalyptic anxiety. 

Also, it has handclaps, which I realized all my favourite songs have. 

Here at the End of the World

My seasonal single of 2011 updated slightly for 2012. (I re-recorded some background vocals and harmonies). Otherwise, the same.
