Cal Henry’s Song of the Moment - #1

Here’s a song that you wouldn’t think is a nice, peppy, happy-feeling song by the title and subject matter - but it is!

Listen to this and tell me if you don’t feel like dancing, singing along or bobbing your head.

WARNING: this song contains language not suitable for all ages.

The song is called “F**k You” by Cee Lo Green and it’s my favorite song of the year so far!

Lyrical Subjects and Stuff...

Hey guys,

Spence here, just checkin' in! So if you've been in touch with us online recently you've heard about our cool "Tunes for 10,000" game. We're really getting a LOT more likes and we CAN'T WAIT to give away our acoustic record!

Next from me is that I'm writing a bunch of new lyrics and I can write about different things all day, but I would really love to hear some suggestions! I know it's different for everyone, but for me I feel like I can write lines about anything; it's the idea that inspires me. I want to write about something that is close to your heart!!!

So, my plan is if you get back to us with ideas, I'll write something based on that and we may end up using it for WD-HAN lyrics!

Can't wait to hear your ideas!

Rock on,
Spencer

You don't have to be rude to play rock music...

Seems that the agreement is that to be a rock musician these days, you have to be at least a little "dark" or at least have some form of emotional trauma evident in the music, the look, the attitude. The obvious extreme of this is the music that sounds like a metal workshop in full operation with a scream and a moan here and there for kicks, but it is still evident all over.

Each to their own I guess, but in my opinion it takes true artistry to create whole cloth and convey the emotion you're trying to.

Most would be in the agony of heartbreak and write about it, but what about the musician who is in a happy relationship or single and can write the song that makes everyone feel that emotion anyway?

I'm not saying our band or I am there yet (after all, we're not the judges of that, the person listening is) but that's sure where I want to be.
