A fellow by the name of Jens Marni Hansen released a song I wrote with Jeremy Cottrell and Scott Stepakoff.

Jens Marni Hansen is from the Faroe Islands which are part of Denmark.

I have no idea how he heard our song but I’m glad he dug it.

There seems to be a few lyrics lost in translation but he’s got a good voice and the track is pretty reminiscent of a pretty cool demo that I’ll post next Thursday.

Heart Talking

(Scott Stepakoff, Jeremy Cottrell, Jason Gantt)

You got me feeling like a glass ‘bout to overflow

It’s getting hard not to say what I think you know

I wanna pour out everything bottled up inside

Tell you that I love you, that it ain’t the wine

I can see in your eyes that you hear loud and clear

what I haven’t said yet

I’m usually good at playing it cool

I don’t run off at the mouth like a lovestruck fool

My pride that I hide behind, is letting me down and I can’t lie

so if you hear something, sounds like horses running

There’s nothing I can do

that’s just my heart talking, baby

It can’t keep a secret from you

It’s like a nine pound hammer beating in my chest

The harder I try to hide it, the louder it gets

and I wanna drive cross country sitting right next to you

Tell you stories while you paint your toenails blue

But you already know that, don’t you

You hear right through me

I’m usually good at playing it cool

I don’t run off at the mouth like a lovestruck fool

My pride that I hide behind, is letting me down and I can’t lie

so if you hear something, like a freight train coming

There’s nothing I can do

that’s just my heart talking, baby

It can’t keep a secret from you

I’m usually good at playing it cool

I don’t run off at the mouth like a lovestruck fool

My pride that I hide behind, is letting me down and I can’t lie

so if you hear something, sounds like love’s coming

But if you hear the thunder of wild horses running

There’s nothing I can do

that’s just my heart talking, baby

It can’t keep a secret

my heart’s talking baby - listen

my heart’s talking baby, it can’t keep a secret from you

This is a song I produced and co-wrote with Laura Hughes for her record “Waiting Out The Rain” which is no longer on iTunes(or any of the other stores for that matter), which is a bummer but maybe it’ll be a collectors item now :)

I’m posting this today and will post the instrumental version next Thursday because there is a lot of cool stuff happening in the track.

Laura Hughes - vocals

Me - drums, bass, guitars

Aaron Sterling - mellotron, rhodes

Here’s another tune with Jeremy and Scott. It was fun to put together a Counting Crow’s-esque track for this one. Murray Pulver gave me the great electric guitar work.

Living In Reverse - (written by Jeremy Cottrell, Scott Stepakoff, Jason)

I can see me watch you walk away, like a movie in my mind that I replay

Here comes the part that always seems to hurt

I could’ve stopped you but I didn’t say a word

The problem with what could’ve been is it never was

But I can’t convince my heart that it’s time to give you up

Walking backwards in the dark, it sure is hard to see what’s worse

Moving on without you or living in reverse

The clock up on the wall can’t tell a lie

It’s keeping track of all my wasted time

Letters filled with 3 am regrets like messages in bottles never sent

The past ain’t perfect but it’s better than the present tense

I still wake up everyday and go to work

I keep on moving forward in reverse

I don’t seem to have enough time for making videos of movie re-enactments anymore so this is what I’ve come up with.

Abbey and Amy in “The Birds!”

Clearly, Amy isn’t the best at green screen acting. She requires real birds flying past her face to bring out the right emotion.
