The track I wrote for Ballad (published by Flux, 2009)

Posting this one for nostalgia and "how far we've come!" purposes.

This was a track I wrote and recorded with Ballynoola, my band in college, when I was 17 or 18.

Farewell To McKenzie

A re-recording of this Destiel song. :)

Lyrics:
Well you were going through hell, with no hand to hold.
You were tired, you were beaten, and you were feeling alone.
So you prayed to the God you were doubtful was there,
"Send me an angel, send me someone who cares."

Then he came along and pulled you out of that pit,
And he tried to tell you you were worth it.
But when he let you down, oh you put up that wall.
You couldn't trust an angel who was starting to fall.

Oh, you tried but you just couldn't help but let him in,
And you started to care as you taught him to sin.
But with all that freedom came the inevitable fall
Of the angel who just wanted to give you his all.

So you thought you had your angel, but he won't stick around,
And now you're lost once again, when you'd thought you'd been found.
And you cry to yourself when you're sure no one's there,
"What's wrong with my angel? I thought that he cared."

Oh, if only you could see that he wants to be
Where you are, and he loves you, too.
Yeah, he's just afraid that he'll mess up again,
And end up hurting you.

When he came back he asked if you were doing OK,
So you smiled and you lied and you hid your dismay.
But before he leaves again, you'll remember to say
That you miss your angel and you want him to stay.
Yeah, you love your dear angel, and you need him to stay.

Stay (A Destiel Tribute) 2

These are some tracks from over a decade ago (eep), with my college band, Ballynoola. Added to Soundcloud by request. 

Brian Boru's March (Song Of The Celts)

"Sweet Ophelia" releases both digitally and on limited edition 7" clear vinyl on April 7, 2014 via B3SCI Records. Pre-order here: http://b3scirecords.bigcartel.com/product/b3sr-006-zella-day-sweet-ophelia-1965

The sound of strumming guitars; the feel of soft, wet clay; the scent of fresh brewed coffee: this was Zella Day’s childhood. Secluded in the quaint mountain town of Pinetop, Arizona, Zella’s creativity flourished with the forest at her doorstep. High above Phoenix Valley, Pinetop holds a population of 7,000, and Zella's family-owned Mor Mor Coffee House was an only sanctuary for artists. Surrounding herself with local musicians, Zella was inspired to pick up the guitar at a young age. Before long, the blossoming chanteuse started performing sets including Bob Dylan and Elvis songs - selections inspired by her coffee house family. The native Arizonan had found a calling in music and used it as a form of self-realization, penning her experiences and discovering herself through the intricacies of song. She drew inspiration from the serene Arizona mountains and turned to Clint Eastwood, old Western films, and cowboy rebel culture to help shape the attitude behind her music. The result is a raw, organic sound unconfined by the boundaries of genre. It effortlessly floats between the tonalities of female frontier-maker Stevie Nicks and art pop songbird Lana Del Rey while invoking imagery painted by Old Arizona and a free-spirited perspective.

To date, Zella Day’s music has barely crossed paths with the outside world; however, her short series of self-released demos and collaborations caught fire throughout the indie community. One such supporter of her undeniable talent was the boutique music press outlet B3SCI. Having recently formed a singles record imprint, B3SCI was undoubtedly the natural home for the songwriter's first official offering to the world.

The upcoming two-track single leads with “Sweet Ophelia,” a blending of personal encounters in an eerie resemblance to that of Hamlet’s Ophelia. Crunching drum machines and menacing electronics juxtapose Zella’s airy croons as she sings about the sanctity of physical connection, powerfully portraying both the majesty and fragility of letting love consume you. The B-side, “1965,” takes a more straightforward approach, showcasing Zella’s strong voice atop soft, pattering drums and fluttering guitars. The lyrics tell a story about finding a genuine connection among a sea of inauthenticity. Moreover, the track celebrates its title - the year that a generation united despite a delusive society.

On April 7th, B3SCI Records will release 'Sweet Ophelia / 1965' on limited edition 7-inch clear vinyl. The tracks were brought to life at Los Angeles's WAX LTD. Studios with the production and mixing prowess of Xandy Barry and Wally Gagel. This debut collection showcases a young songstress’ visceral visions and liberated mentality, while foreshadowing the depth of a long career that's yet to come.

Sweet Ophelia

Pre-Order Now!

I thought it might be humiliating for me and interesting for everyone else to hear the very early stages of the trailer instrumentals — this is just pieces I want of it played on my piano and recorded on my phone so I can begin arranging the chunks.

another step in the track process — a dummy track recorded while huddled around a single mic in my music room to get an idea of the arrangement. This is just the very first section.

Mirrors — Blue Lily, Lily Blue

I'm so delighted with my new-old harp. Yesterday, I traded in my ancient, small Lyon & Healy for a 21 year old Steen, and it sounds amazing. This is my practice this morning in my front hallway, but hopefully you get the idea.

An elegant melody - initially in tenor register - set against flowing quavers; there is more of a lilt in the middle passage in Db major
