This is me trying my best to do vocals in a band I shouldn't have been doing vocals in. I could not hear my vocals in the headphones and I had no idea what I was doing! There is some serious out of tune-ness going on but it is what it is. It was a lot of fun though! 

Here's the lyrics…

CHIN - Blood Bought

Jesus thank you! 
You've saved my life.
You touched my and renewed my mind!
And now I live to serve You.
I live for Your cause and I don't care who sees 
because I know you love me.
Oh, let me be the one you call and use!

Cleanse my heart and my mind.
I wanna be one of your kind.
Oh Lord, I love to serve You!
Your cause (I'll always share)
and I always praise your name
and if they laugh I will not care.

Holy Spirit flood my thoughts
('cause I am saved and blood bought)
It's by your grace that I'm alive.
Don't want the world's junk in my head.
But with your Word I will be fed.
Oh, let me be one you will call and use!

Cleanse my heart and my mind.
I wanna be one of your kind.
Oh Lord, how I love You!
Your cause (I'll always share)
and I always praise your name!
And if they laugh I will not care.

Blood Bought

My friend Derrick Williams singing at the Can You Rock 2015 singing contest.  

DERRICK WILLAMS - Can You Rock 2015

I don't know what to sat about this song. All these songs have lyrics and vocals. I just never recorded them. I'll have to do that someday.

The Ambient Expanse song #3

I keep playing one bad note on the bass because I couldn't think of anything else that day. I wish I would have made this song even slower. Oh, my one fingered bass and keyboard playing is crackin' me up.

The Ambient Expanse song #4

Now, this is the song right here. I love the bass part. I love this song. I'll have to check but I don't think I ever wrote lyrics for this song. I'll have to do that and record the vocals someday.

The Ambient Expanse song #5

This is the first song we recorded. The end is pretty goofy. Pink flowers start coming out of your speakers at 2:15. I don't think I ever wrote lyrics for this either. I need to do that and record the vocals one day.

The Ambient Expanse song #6

Yeah, this is the song that will take you out, especially at the end. It's some dreamy mess. I need to go another direction, re-write the lyrics and record the vocals.

The Ambient Expanse song #7

I totally forgot that I bought a guitar one day. Then I had surgery on my right rotator cuff. I couldn't do much, I was bored, so I got the guitar out for the first time EVER and tried to make up some songs.

I programed the 'ol Alesis SR-16 drum machine, tuned up my goofy Squire P bass, tried my best to tune up my Squire "Jagmaster", and pushed record. The song is cheesy. Oh, and check out my one fingered guitar solos. Pure comedy. Oh well. My arm was hurtin' and I didn't have anything else to do.

FIRST SONG ON GUITAR

Yeah, OK. Prepare to hurt your throat laughin' at my one fingered guitar solo! Remember, I'd only been attempting to play guitar for like a month.

3RD SONG ON GUITAR

OK, this is the funniest joke of a song. I was listening to The Cranberries way too much during this time. There was one take where you could hear me laughing through the guitar pickups! I had no idea what chords were what. There was one chord I just made up! I named it the "R flat". I didn't know what else to do, so I just stuck with it.

This song is so funny. It will make you squint your eyes. It will make you shake your head. It will make you open your eyes back up and reach for the "STOP" button but WAIT! The dual one fingered guitar solos at the very end aren't that bad.

Prepare yourself...

"DRONE"

This is all just demo quality stuff. We were just kinda messin' around. I'm sure things might be bass, toms, and crash cymbal heavy. I just wanted to get the idea down. I still laugh at all the mistakes.

It's Sunday, 4-21-13 - Someone asked me why I used a picture of a black dude on my profile because there was no way a "black dude" wrote, performed, and recorded this music! I cracked up laughing! I guess I need to add some videos for proof? Oh well...
