Here's my submission for the Campbell's & Soundcloud "What Sounds Good Tonight?" Song Contest! (Full Video Here: https://youtu.be/CmfqaHcSb9Q )

I wrote this song a few days ago. Inspired by the guidelines of using "as much or as little" of the pre-recorded kitchen sounds pack as you choose, I decided to incorporate a few of the pre-recorded samples, but mostly record my own kitchen sounds over Thanksgiving weekend to round out the song with some real "home-cooked" love. So in addition to recording myself singing and playing acoustic/electric guitars and bass in the kitchen, I'm also actually playing pots, pans, spatulas, paper towels, microwave buttons, stove doors, salt and pepper shakers, grilled cheese sandwiches, and (of course) Campbell's soup cans in the song. 

The first instrument that I learned as a child was drums, which I first started playing at two-years old, flipping over pots and hitting them with wooden spoons. So this project really brought me full circle back to my first attempts at playing music.

I hope you dig listening (and watching the video here:  https://youtu.be/CmfqaHcSb9Q ) as much as I enjoyed making it, and if you do, please share and help spread the word! Campbell's and Soundcloud have been so generous with their prizes for this contest, and it would mean the world to me having your help to bring this track to their attention.

Thanks everyone!

FULL LYRICS:

(What sounds good tonight?)
Everyone is coming over
(What sounds good tonight?)
We’ve been apart for much too long
(What sounds good tonight?)
Kick your shoes off and get closer
(What sounds good tonight?)
Everyone’s coming home

If you’ve got nowhere to go
You’ve got a place at this table
Just pull up a chair
And come on in from the storm
If you’re young or you’re old
Anyone who is able
There’s plenty to share
We will keep it warm

Just come in (come in)
Our door is open
You can make yourself right at home

(What sounds good tonight?)
Everyone is coming over
(What sounds good tonight?)
We’ve been apart for much too long
(What sounds good tonight?)
Kick your shoes off and get closer
(What sounds good tonight?)
Everyone’s coming home

(What sounds good tonight?)
Everyone is coming over
(What sounds good tonight?)
We’ve been apart for much too long
(What sounds good tonight?)
Kick your shoes off and get closer
(What sounds good tonight?)
Everyone’s coming home

What sounds good tonight?
(What sounds good?)
What sounds good tonight?
(What sounds good?)
What sounds good tonight?
(What sounds good?)
What sounds good tonight?
