very Pink Floydish intro... vocals are SEDUCTIVE

I really like your best when you got a chill beat and a acoustic guitar this is great though sounds very proffessional

Just got a drum loop and decided to  slap a da bass and record what came out of it.

So yeah I'm a little rusty on the playing but I really dig the sound of this sweet Marcus Miller Jazz bass! 

Thanks  Bro, you know who you are!!

Thursday Night Primetime

Simple song (No one's listening)
Made by Curtis
Featuring Justin Trabue on Bass Guitar

I'd like,
To Buy the world a Coke,
A spice,
That everybody knows,
But I am only me a sing along with someone listening,
Now it's a real good look,
To write the world a book,
Of your choice filled memories,
Cause in life,
If you give em what they like,
Then everything with be alright,
But I am only me,
A sing along with some one listening,
And I will always be,
The simple song that going on when everything is going wrong,
And No one's listening,

Your love,
Well it's always been enough,
To bring me home to rest,
When I go,
To pave a nobel Road,
Well it's always the dreams where I find you,
That I find the best,

I am only me,
A sing a long wish someone's listening,
I will always be,
The simple song that's going on when everything is going wrong and no one's listening.  

No one's listening (Simple song)

"Worth fighting over"
One day,
They're gonna find me,
Good dead and buried,
Stone at my head,
I'll be,
Right next to my family,
And right beside us,
Will be our friends,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
One day,
I hope they call me,
Out on a mission,
With ideas to spread,
I pray,
The words I am saying,
Are worth the space in,
Inside my head,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
One day,
You're gonna meet her,
And you will never,
Forget her face,
She may,
Even let you keep her,
As long as each day,
Your actions say,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good!!!
Deep down,
Deep down inside me,
I know there's something,
That no one else sees,
Each day,
With out me minding,
It is the reason,
That I must breathe,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good!

Lyrics

They gon say,
You a problem,
When you don't fall in line,
They gon make you an offer,
That you'll have to take this time,

The gon lay,
They whole law down,
Just to get you in the light,
We gon break,
Break it all out,
And keep on burning through the night,

Cause

If you don't believe that you're good for something,
Here's something you can believe,
If all that you are is good for my loving
I'll love you endlessly, x2

We gon make, 
This the heaven,
The Heaven we deserve,
Don't you think,
We learned out lesson,
Of how to go through Hell and earth,
We gon raise,
Up our children,
Like we never had a doubt,
Of how we'd make a good living,
And put food inside their mouths,

Cause,

If you don't believe that you're good for something,
Here's something you should believe,
If all that you are is good for my loving,
I'll love you endlessly.

Good For Something

Hello friends thank you so much for the kind messages and thoughts about the Cohen interpretation last week.  If everyone who has already shared "hallelujah" shares it one more time it will reach the 100 shares mark and be unlocked to download. 

So don't be scared, just share.  :)

Ok on to new music...  The final frontier. 

A friend of mine who has been married for 30 plus years chose this song as his wife’s ring tone.  #truereasonsIwrite.

I hope you enjoy.  See you guys next week!

Smile (acoustic)

As I keep doing This Book of Curtis thing I am realizing that it is very much becoming an audio diary.  And for those of you who are resonating close enough to care about what the world sometimes sounds like to me seriously thank you.  You truly are the brightest stars of the darkest skies.  

Now this song I wrote and recorded when I was 18 for a friend of mine who was 17 and going through something we both thought was rough.  Another friend of mine John Guffa (Amazing Musician) wrote and recorded the guitars and I came and laid down the vocals one sunny afternoon in Tempe AZ.

I guess that’s a big reason why I write and record music mostly to help myself understand things that I don’t and perhaps help out a friend or two along the way as well.  

Thanks for listening in.

"Loves Arms"
Written and performed by Curtis Casey and John Guffa

There’s things in life that you can’t define
Cause they don’t align with the truth
Yet your life girl it reflects mine
Cause it runs in line with my youth

And I don’t have to see you to know
And I don’t have to be you to know you
Girl all I need is to see the marks on your shoes
Cause mine are marked to.

Now run on home and go and tell your momma
You went away and oh you lost your honor
To a boy from the wrong side of town
He aint never been rich but he always held it down

You fell in love and though it sounds crazy
You turned your love into a little baby
Let her know that you never meant harm
And girl you found your place in loves arms.

There’s things in life that you can’t explain
Cause you can’t explain all that’s real
Ink on paper is much to plain
Wont come near to contain all you feel

And I don’t have to see you to know
No I don’t have to be you to know you
Girl all I need is to see the storms in your eyes
Cause they’re the same in mine.

Now run on home and go and tell your momma
You found your place in loves arms.


Loves Arms

So I've never been more pleased with how a recording has turned out as
I am with the latest Vayden record.

Basically for 6 months last year we locked ourselves in a Studio in
Baldwin Park CA. And we screamed and yelled at each other (with our
instruments and sometimes our big boy words) until we learned
something very important in music and in life.  How to listen to what
eachother was saying.

After 6 months of that head banging and bashing we flew out to Bremen
Germany and recorded the album in 12 days.  Then we toured around
Germany for a bit brought the masters back home and had them mixed in
good ol LA.  Now because we live in the day and age we do we just put
the enitre album online for anyone to listen to enjoy and purchase.

(get it now link)
http://vaydenmusic.com/music/04.html

For the next 11 weeks on the BOC I might just drop another track off the
Vayden record until everyone who is familiar with me goes and gets a copy and a
taste of something that I am very blessed to be a part of.  
The Rock Band Vayden.

This song "Alone in the Sky" was one that I wrote the lyric and melody
on an acoustic then the dudes came in and put their voices on it
and it became the epicness that you hear in this recording.

I dropped an unmixed sneak preview of this song a couple of months ago
but now that the album is out mixed and mastered I'm putting it back
in the book.  (Like some of you may know this place is kind of like a musical diary for me)

Please do your ear drums and my landlord a favor and purchase a copy
of it online :)  

http://vaydenmusic.com/music/04.html

Then send it to all your friends and spread the good
word that Vayden is here to stay.

Love you guys thanks for tuning in this Tuesday.

Lyrics

You alone in the Sky?
No you're not
I was there
You forgot
Said you wanted to Fly
No you don't
We all could
But we wont

All for you my love
All for you my love

Was alone in sky
Now I'm not
You were here
I forgot
Said you wanted to die
No you don't
We all could
But we wont

All for you my love
All for you my love

And everything we know
We have been told
In words we may have bought
Or lies we sold
But for every mark you ever missed
For every cheek you never kissed
Keep us here to lighten up your load.

You alone in the sky?
No your not
I am here
Here for God
Said you wanted to try
No you don't
If you did you'd let go.

Alone in the Sky

Curtis Casey is an American Born Singer Songwriter from Phoenix Arizona who was raised all over the United States as well as the country of New Zealand where his Mother was born and raised.  

“We moved around our fair share because my father was a nuclear engineer. Music and song writing with an acoustic guitar became my constant and was my safe place.  To this day whenever I walk into a room and there is a guitar in it I immediately feel welcome.”

As a half Polynesian half Irish American Curtis learned to love and appreciate music and singing of all types at a very young age and still loves the entire process of writing and recording music.  

For 15 years he toured all around Europe and the United States with his Active Rock / Nu Metal band, Vayden.  

“We were lucky we got signed to a subsidiary of Warner Music very young and they sent us all over the place to play.  We ended up recording 3 albums together and 2 EPs.”

Now Curtis enjoys the simple joy of singing nice songs in cool places to appreciative audiences.

Today he lives in Marina Del Rey with his wife, two sons and small daughter.
