Hey everyone,
It’s been a crazy month for me that started off in France for my spring break. It was a dream to back there, and now I’m slowly working my way back into reality. I’ve expressed how I really love the autumn months and the changing of the season, well now we’re at a different point. It’s always exciting to be thinking about golf again and driving somewhere without scraping away at your car in the morning. This time of year always gets me writing songs, so we’ll see. Looks like the weather will be up and down for a while, but I’ll be waiting in April for spring to arrive.
Hope you all read Eric’s thoughts on our new EP. I’ve listened to it a good amount of times (shameless self-promotion). I think we really have a good feel on the EP. I really like how many of these songs changed to a more farmer’s market kind of sound. Uncommon Ground started off in the summer of 2009 as a song about a relationship that was only called what it was because of an organic restaurant in Chicago with the same name. Since then, we’ve messed around with enough versions and finally settled on what it is today. If you’ve seen my solo work, you know that I’m in the 2 Minute Song Club, and that’s what happened with Tinted Window. There was never too much to the song, but I think we did well with it. In my opinion, Somewhere is really the track that defines what we did on this EP. Eric’s accordion playing brought a whole new layer of sound to the band!
Time is On My Side sounds great with the electric guitar, and She Loves is a song that Eric and I could play at any moment. It seems like that is one of our more popular songs. I really love the vocal that Eric did when first recording this, great feel to it.
Overall, I’m hard at work but excited for the next few months. Looking forward to spring and new adventures!
