    Happy When I'm With You Lyrics

    It appears that a recent request for a copy of a song I’ve written has sparked a little interest across the internet. The song in question makes an appearance in the movie Lucky starring Colin Hanks. Recent traffic to my little corner of the web has shown that there’s a growing interest in this song. Such that people are looking for the words. I’m announcing that I’m posting the Happy When I’m With You lyrics in my lyrics section.

    If the interest continues I may very well see what can be done about releasing the song to iTunes and other digital outlets. In the meantime if you’re landing here due to wanting to find a copy of the song and/or lyrics then you’re welcome to purchase the song directly from me. You’ll even get a better version than what could be bought via iTunes or Amazon.

    There is one catch…

    In order to read the lyrics you’ll have to login to the website. Easy enough to do with your favorite social ID. No extra site info to fill out. Just pick your favorite one and away you go. You’ll get the words directly from me. What can be better?

    Thanks for stopping in. Take a look around and explore my sound a little further.

  • How I Got That Sound With A Taylor

    Aw, I’m getting a little choked up. I’m getting featured on Taylor Guitar’s website. This is actually pretty cool. I was asked by Taylor Guitars if I would do a little clip about how I got a particular guitar sound for the trailer Goats. Well, here it is in all it’s glory.

    How I Got That Sound

    The bonus is, I’ve been asked to do more of them. So stay tuned. As I complete projects that utilize my favorite acoustic guitars (Taylor Guitars ahem hem). Then there will be more of them.

    Enjoy

    p.s. – There’ll likely be an update before long when Dean Markley also ends up posting this.

  • iTunes Official Ping

    It’s that festive holiday time of year again. The latest update in the online front is iTunes now features 90 second previews of my music that is over 2:30 in length. Christmas Brought Me You is a great example (especially in Grant’s Advent Calendar). Most clips now start at the chorus and play for 90 seconds – a great way to know if you’ll really love or hate a song.
     
    Yesterday (12/09/10) marked the finishing of writing a CD of funk music with my good friend Jesse Stern. It’s been a project of fun and we’re happy to be getting it out into the world.
     
    If you’re on Ping you ought to know I’ve got an official Ping profile: Jody on Ping. I’ve been posting video clips from an interview about Practical Insanity.
     
    In the world of NFL music on Fox Sports – you’re now hearing my musical creations. Additionally Fox Sports is now making Do You Want To Play available to all their affiliates for use to promote games. It should be very soon that you’ll be hearing it used for that purpose.
     
    My writing studio has been seeing a lot of attention as of late. More and more songs are making their way to completion. Pretty soon I’ll have a huge batch of songs finished in pre-production. At that point I’ll be looking for a select group of volunteers to spend time listening to the array of songs. If you’re interested contact me.
     
    Have a great holiday season. Very best to you.
