Bled the Blood

My musical buddy, a guy named Jonathan Foster is going to use a song I wrote in his next album.  That's pretty damn cool and flattering.  I wrote it for a story, and it turned out pretty good.

 

If you want to abuse your ears here's me singing my acapella version of it. Bled the Blood  Jonathan will do a better job though, thankfully.

 

I've got just enough of a few gifts to know that I am not quite at a level that can be considered exceptional.  But, that's all right.  I'm pretty happy with honorable mentions in multiple areas vs. champion of one.

Thanks, Thorn.  🙂  It really fit the context of the story where it appeared.  My readers seemed to enjoy hearing the melody.  I think it helped them "get" the story.  I really like multimedia experiences, and this is one way to go about it.

I should probably get around to recording the songs I've written for my stories, too. Maybe someone will like them.

Great song! From someone who grew up on music but has no musical talent, I give kudos to your songwriting ability. I like this acapella version, nothing at all wrong with it.

Hey, Mac.  Thanks!  The melody has rattled 'round in my head for years.  I finally put words to it for my story, and I think it turned out pretty nice.  A tiny bit repetitive, but that makes it easy to sing along to.  🙂

I'm no expert, but to my ears your effort was pretty darn impressive. :)

Well, thank you for that.

 

All the little mistakes and slightly off notes make me a little crazy.  But, it's about as good as I can get it.

 

Jonathan was in town over the weekend, and we spoke a bit about what he's going to do with it.  I'm super excited about what he is planning.  Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I'll be able to share his version.
