[Pop Rock] Todd Wright - Alien Love Song

Artist: Todd Wright

Song: Alien Love Song
What's it all about? "Alien Love Song started as an "I'm gonna try to write a hit" moment. I thought if I was going to write an obvious love song I should make it about something unique. That way I could have a hearty laugh when Faith Hill recorded it and had no idea it was really about an astronaut falling in love with an interplanetary space beast. Some time later my friend Yvonne was in the last weekend of a brave fight with cancer and I was called to the hospital to come say goodbye. Her family asked if I would sing to her. They borrowed a guitar from a very sweet woman who routinely came around and sang to the terminally ill patients. I didn't know what to sing. I had never written anything that even remotely touched on this kind of farewell. I played Alien Love Song and in that moment the song, for me, was changed forever. I avoided recording it for a good long while. With the help of some amazing friends: Matt McGinn (co-produced), Rico Allen (drums) Mark Williams (guitar) and Micah Wilshire (mixed) I have finally put it out there. I could not be happier with the result. This song is, always was and always will be for Yvonne Haga...and a special tip of the hat to Will Foreman as well. Faith Hill never did record it by the way. Oh well, it's mine now..." - Todd Wright

What's it all about? 40x40 song #4! "Three years ago in late October my friend and drummer Chris Williams passed away. He played with me in the Pat McGee Band and occasionally in Getaway Car. His favorite GC song was "Orbit." So this week, for him, I've finally done a proper recording of this song. Although Chris never recorded with us, I was able to piece together a performance using other sessions I had recorded him on. Thanks to technology and an amazing drummer it feels and sounds like he was right here with me. Chris Reardon from Getaway Car played bass, Jared Bartlett played guitar and Micah Wilshire mixed it. For CW. You are missed." - Todd Wright
Sounds like: the end of a relationship. :(

[Rock] The Riot Before - Fists...Out of Sockets (acoustic)

Artist: The Riot Before
Album: Fists...Out of Sockets (acoustic)
What's it all about? “Fists...Out of Sockets represents a fun departure for us. When Vinnie (Paper+Plastick) first suggested we release an acoustic version of Fists Buried in Pockets my initial idea was to just sit down in a room alone and knock it all out first take, but then I got to thinking and realized that we have a lot of really talented friends, and decided it would be fun to bring them into the recording process. With that in mind, we recruited our friend Patrick Ball to engineer and produce, and got to work re-recording 7 of the songs from Fists Buried in Pockets in his basement. We convinced some incredible musicians we knew to contribute horns and cello on a few songs and we’re all really excited how it turned out. These recordings are not at all intended to be a hint at things to come for us, rather, they represent a fun time spent recording with friends, seeing what else could be done with songs that we as a band are all still very proud of. Sometimes that led to a major reconstruction, while other times it meant removing a lot of what had been there. What we ended up with came out better than I had imagined, which had a lot less to do with us and more to do with everyone else involved, especially Patrick. We hope you enjoy it.” - Brett Adams
