Man Who Shakes The World

One of several tunes developed as an experiment with sounds, beats and lyrics. In this case, if you want to change the world, if you even want to survive...you need to pay attention to what's going on around you. Try a listen with headphones.

You need to see these things

For some reason the whole tune didn't load - Here is a reload.

I created this piece as part of a promotion from our local PBS WCBE. 48 hours to write and record a song. It could be about anything, but they required 5 words be in the lyrics: kid, broke, WCBE, Columbus and duct tape. Here's what I came up with!

Back to Columbus

This is was 24-hour songwriting/recording challenge to kick off the new year. A happy and creative 2020 to you all!

Happy New Year!

Ten years ago I wrote a song for what was to be a 9/11 memorial event. For any number of reasons, the event shifted during the planning and a few parts, including my song, were cut. No big deal. In cases like that, you just want the event to be what it needs to be.
 
Fast forward 10 years, and again the message of the song seems appropriate to those who once again step between the bulk of us and the potential harm we face.

I took a short break from my current music project to make a new demo of this song and a companion video to recognize and thank those who are working so hard to get us all through this difficult time!

#staysafe - Thanks!

INTO HARMS WAY - 2020

Rik Johnson is a life-long friend whom I've known since about the 3rd grade. He is an extremely talented, prolific musician and songwriter, and though our paths diverged and recrossed over the years, it's always been comforting to know he's out there making great music.

He shared this song about 10 years ago that I wanted to work with, but things happen and it got shuffled away in the flow of life events only to be rediscovered in a stack of sheet music in the corner over there about a month ago.

Still fresh from working on a new set of my own demos, I decided to take a crack at it to see what I could do with it. This is what I came up with. It doesn't hold a candle to the original (https://cutt.ly/KyVzTWu), but I hope you get the idea.

Here's to Crazy

It's your life, your map, your sense of direction, you should get to drive.
A tune from my latest demo release, Recovering Dreamaholic. Check out all the tunes at: https://jeffmeyers.bandcamp.com/
