Never Know
So for the past few weeks I’ve been working on producing this song for one of my recording classes. This is probably the first output that I can post that I feel confident in. There may be some balance issue to be sorted out shortly. I just wanted to give you guys a rough idea of what it’s sounding like!
It’s sampled from the Lights’ song “Second Go” and my singer and I rewrote the lyrics and melody/harmony. To be fair she did all of the melody writing.
So I hope you enjoy! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think!

[Update:] Just so you know, I’ve uploaded a 2nd cut which is a little better quality and actually has all the instruments! I hope you enjoy! Again, leave your comments and thoughts if you choose.
Light Love
I thought I had already posted this video.
But I guess not.
It’s cute. The end.
This guys has a lot of other great videos. If you’re bored, watch!

- Classical Album: Mahler: Symphony No. 8; Adagio from Symphony No. 10
- Traditional Gospel Album: Oh Happy Day, various artists
- Spoken Word Album: Always Looking Up, Michael J. Fox - WHAT?! Michael J. Fox spoken word? Weird.
- Comedy Album: A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All! Stephen Colbert
The rest of the winners are kind of expected. The nominee’s weren’t that strong in every category. It’s weird that the Grammy’s accepts music put out from October 2008 – August 2009. Such old music.
One album that isn’t mentioned on that list is Booker T. Jones “Potato Hole”, I have this CD to review and will probably try and get that done sometime in the coming week.
As usual Lady Gaga was wearing ridiculously crazy outfits with plenty of ‘costume’ changes. She even got to play with Elton John as the opening number. That would be a pretty amazing experience. I think Lady Gaga and Elton John should get married. They’d have some interesting kids. Too bad he’s gay. I mean, check out the earrings on this guy.
I didn’t watch the show on TV at all, but I did happen to catch Greenday’s performance of 21 Guns which I thought was particularly terrible. I miss old Greenday. Taylor Swift won 4 awards. Too bad Kayne didn’t come ruin her speech this time. I heard he just finished his community service.
