Greetings from the small town of Mountian, WI where we are on a little family getaway. I am working a slow web connection so there is no video intro this month but here’s a little background for you.

The new music I have for you this month is actually not so new. It’s a song that I’ve had for a little over year now but never released outside of some immediate family and a few fans that where paying close attention for a 1-2 week stretch when I offered it up as a bonus for something I was offering at the time.

I figured it was a good time to release the song for good since it is bought and paid for. The recording budget is pretty slim these days and I’m trying to save up to put out some more full band songs for you guys (these recordings typically run from $400-$500.. not much when you are big time but until I find some more supporters, it will be spotty and I’ll have to be creative).

The song was created as a gift for my sister and brother-in-law.

The recording is also the first and only recording I’ve done with someone another than Tom and Annie at the RudeLab. A few years back I met a producer/musician Matt Olson from Ghost in My House Studio’s when opening for Nick Shattuck. He’s a good guy and I really liked what he did with Nick’s “Chorus and Verse” album so I thought it would be cool to work with him on something on.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Lyrics

Lets Take A Walk

Out with some friends I’d be the 5th wheel back in the rear
They’d all have hands to hold while I’d just wanna disappear
I ‘m sick of the grind and waking up alone each and every day
I keep wearin a smile cuz a know I’m gonna find someone someday

Then one night a new years party in a big blue house
Facin’ another countdown standin all by myself
Then I saw you there, over there my heart just started to glow
Cuz when its real man awe you just know

And now its you and me baby, I’ve never been so in love
Love our time together but lately its never enough
I’m all warm inside the butterflies are restless and they’re havin’ there way
Give me your hand pretty baby we’ll start our lives over today
Lets take a walk
Lets take a walk now

Fast forward to today when I woke and I saw your face
When the sun hits your eyes it takes me to another place
I gotta pinch myself when you walk through that door at night
When I put my arms around you, it feels so right

And now its you and me baby, I’ve never been so in love
I love our time together but lately its never enough
I’m all warm inside and butterflies are restless and they’re havin there way
Give me your hand pretty baby we’ll start our lives over today
Lets take a walk
Lets take a walk now

I wanna walk the world with you forever by your side
I wanna be there with you when the first born opens their eyes
We’ll get ourselves a big house, fill it with memories
Hand in hand together marching through eternity

And now its you and me baby, I’ve never been so in love
I love our time together but lately its never enough
I’m all warm inside and butterflies are restless and they’re havin there way
Give me your hand pretty baby we’ll start our lives over today
Lets take a walk
Lets take a walk now

Lets take a walk

Name Your Price

You will notice that the price is currently set to “Name Your Price.” It means what it says and even includes paying nothing (yep, the song is completely free. Costs you $0). And you can download the new music in any version you would like – mp3, wav, ogg, etc . Hell you can even send a copy to your friends if you feel like it and I will not call the internet police or the RIAA or anything like that.

Just so you know, If you pay anything at all between now and the first Monday in September (when I release more new music), I will put your name in the song credits under “Associate Producer” or whatever title you choose. This will forever link you to the song and proudly put you on display for everyone to see that you are supporting one very grateful musician. Your name will reside in the credits on Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, CdBaby, etc for now but when it comes time to release physical copy of the CD, it will be there too.

“Your contribution not only helps me offset the cost of providing this music for free but it also tells me that you think what I am doing is worth the effort and that you want me to continue creating more music and moments for you.”

A Big THANKS to last month contributors – Associate Producers: Brian Meek, Jim Jerome, Nicole Gentry, Greg Davies (host at social-blend.com).
