Banjo has officially made it’s appearance on the new record in a wonderful song. It’s a cover, and you can hear the original song below.

In my search for more variety in my instrumentation, I am being blessed by friends and acquaintances who step forward to contribute. Sharon, a friend of Shelby’s, has agreed to record some flute parts for the record. I just finished writing parts for one song, with more to come.

I’m looking forward to this weekend where I’ll get to work on some tracks with Jon. Trumpet and maybe some other instruments.

I’m still hoping to find a violin/viola player for some string layers. I have fun ideas. Do you know anyone?

Got to spend several hours this saturday laying down some drum, acoustic, and vocal tracks for Rotation, which is an upcoming song for my album this year (which I will finish). It has some spots for trumpet, flute, and violin parts (I’m still looking for some musicians to help me out in that regard).

I’m looking forward to some contributions from Jon Torrence on this song and others. We’ll get a chance to start laying down tracks around May 15th.

All this to say that I’m excited about the songs I’ve written and that I’m making progress on the record! Get stoked, it’s been over two years since I’ve put anything out.

I am looking for some musicians who would be interested in recording parts of my next album. In particular I am hoping to find players for the following:

• Flute
• Violin / Cello
• Trumpet / Other brass
• Saxophone

If you’re interested, I will provide monetary compensation. It won’t be an exorbitant sum of money, but it’ll be something.

Email me (michaeledwardsmusic@gmail.com) or message me on Twitter if you’re interested.

I built this site design from scratch. However, some of you may find that I am very clearly influenced by a certain blogger in the typography and color choices. I doubt he’ll ever see this site, but if he does then I hope he takes it as flattery. For what it’s worth, I coded it all myself from scratch, only using his design as a visual reference. No copy and paste.

UPDATE: I have been gradually building in comments and styling them to match the theme. Huzzah!

So, what do you think? Is this a good look for my site?

So there we have it. 26 years. I have a wonderful family and wonderful friends. I have a good job and an amazing wife. I’m still creating music and I still enjoy what I’m doing. Not a whole lot I could ask for, ya know?

So here’s to life, as it marches onward. May you find peace and joy. May we all.

It Stings (Revised) by  medwardsmusic

Put your hands behind your back
Lay down on your face
Don’t make any sudden moves
Or I’ll put you in your place
I’ll point my gun at your lovely wife’s head
Feel for the trigger and squeeze it till she’s dead

I’m takin all you have
You stupid stupid man
I don’t wanna hear it
I’ve heard your story a thousand times before

Well I got a story and it goes on and on
About how life is cruel
and you grab what you can before it ends

How long you want to live? Forever?
Without an ending you wouldn’t care about anything
The end is a big joke played on all of us
The end undoes everything you do

Reverses your tenderest acts of love
And my darkest path of ruin

Rotation by medwardsmusic

Fire wakes me lickin’ my arm
casting monsters behind my restin’ form
hiding out past the docks in the trees
prayin my scent isn’t carried in the breeze

Made it to the city, made a name for myself
call me Isaac Andrew Hamilton, or
call me John Alexander Smith, or
call me anything that you wish

I’ve got an alibi
Just gotta tell some lies

‘s long as I can forget what I know
I’ve no idea how far knowing goes
Through the trails, down the river, to the sea
I’d give anything to stop being me – even me.
