I have been experiencing some writers block as of late so I am concentrating on getting some of the acoustic versions done for my Acoustic EP that I plan to release later this year. Usually when I hit a road block I start recording covers to keep my recording chops, but in this case I am basically recording covers of songs I wrote, so it is proving to be interesting. Here are the first two I have attempted:

Why Did You Do It? - Acoustic EP
Had Enough - Acoustic EP

I’m finding it pretty easy to get these acoustic versions down, and some have even started to take on a life of their own. I have also realized how dark some of my lyrics are lol.

On a some what happy note, I have covered one of my favorite Beach Boy songs “God Only Knows”. The song itself is not the happiest of Beach Boys song, but I think the way I did it makes it sound happier than it really is lol. My version sounds like it should be in a Shrek movie or something……… anyways enjoy.

God Only Knows (Beach Boys Cover)

Another year gone by and another year without a full length release. This is proving to be much harder than I thought! I have been working on the same album for over a year now and have not made much headway. I think that I need to write a plan, with smaller goals that are achievable, and help me get this first one under my belt.

On a positive note I did achieve some goals that I set for myself in 2007.
