  • Henry Poole Is Here

    Current mood:accomplished

    I just posted my song for the movie Henry Poole Is Here.  it took me awhile to get it right, but i'm happy with the final result.  I realized i like getting some directions and deadlines... i guess it's a kick i need to get things done sometimes.

    Here are the lyrics to my Henry Poole Is Here;

    I see you wearing your trademark frown

    Wanna hide, underground

    Everyday feels like the wrong place

    Time to show them, who you are

     

    Henry Poole is here

    Got a reason to be

    Henry Poole is here

    Faith and love carry us all

     

    You remember yourself falling down

    Now it's time for your new start

    Sometimes it takes more than you know

    But you're ready to climb out now

    (chorus)

    Bridge:

    And all you need, all you need is a little bit of hope

    Some little sign, a miracle of sorts

    So you can say to yourself

    Right where you stand

    (chorus)




  • Billboard Awards Show

    We just came back from the awards ceremony held in Branson, MO on Saturday, March 29th.  For those of you who don’t know about Branson, check out this link; www.explorebranson.com, best description would be - a family-friendly, Christian-flavored Las Vegas.

    We played at the amazing and quite large Mansion Theatre 
    www.themansiontheater.com.  The sound was unbelievable and so was our performance.  It felt great to be on a big stage.
    We got great feedback from the judges.
    The video will be up in about a week or so.

  • video on HBO Zone & SXSW Film Festival

    the video for Do U Damage got accepted and was seen by someone i know personally on this program Feedback which airs on HBO Zone... good stuff, though i can't find a listing which episode it was on... oh well, you can always see it here, without the fuzzed out beer bottles and milk...

    and the video has been accepted to the SXSW Film Festival 2008... 129 music videos were submitted, and 22 were chosen for screening... that's all i got, hopefully we will win something there, keep your crooked fingers crossed!
