    Thumping In A Song

    Thumping in StudioThumping right along… That’s what I’ve been up to with getting these singles done and finished with my co-producing friend George Leger III. We put the final touches on yet another song called “Thump Thump Thump”.

    That put’s the count at 3 songs completely finished.

    The excitement is building as the impending release of single #1 draws nearer. Amazing and magical is how I describe it. The word that those few who have heard it is: Wow!!!

    Pretty cool responses. Most of the time, music doesn’t make people say “Wow!!!” Now it does.

    Thumping

    How do I contain the restraint to releasing it? Good question. This is by far the absolute longest I’ve had to sit on a finished product. Main reason is not for building hype. No, it’s more simple than that. I really want to make sure the song gets the best possible launch it can have. That unfortunately takes time. Time, that a lot of people don’t have the patience to control.

    Heck, I’ve had moments where I’m like, Fuck It! Lets do this!

    Then the moment passes and I remember that there’s a plan. It’s a good plan. A winning plan based on those who have been asking and talking with me about it.

    At this point we’re on to single #4, it’s so close to finish I can practically taste it…

  • I'm Yelling Timber

    I'm Yelling Timber

    vine-timber-jody-whitesidesTimber is the word I need to be yelling as I’m finally getting my head around Twitter in a positive way that is building momentum. I’m starting to play around a bit with their video service known as Vine. As part of my New Years vows I told myself that I’d start to take more pictures on Instagram and do more videos on YouTube and start up with more Vines. So far, most of that is going well. Though I’m still working on the Vine thing and getting up to speed with creating more of them. Below is my first 6SecondCover. I recently heard this song a couple of weeks ago and really dug the hook, the flow ain’t bad either.

    Timber

    “It’s going down. I’m yelling Timber. You better move. You better dance.”

    It was pretty fun knocking that out. In the process that took a few minutes due to my voice being nutty early in the morning. I think some ‘viral’ Vines were missed with me hacking up some phlegm. Dang it.

    Thanks Pitbull & Ke$sha for a fun tune.

     

  • Sneak Peek At The Truth Lyrics

    Sneak Peek At The Truth Lyrics

    I’ve recently finished writing a song with the lovely and formidable Manda Mosher. It’s our first foray into doing a co-write and I’m hoping it leads to many more. She’s a pleasure to write with. I’m here to give you a sneak peek at The Truth lyrics which is the title of the song we penned.

    Without further ado (on the day of the release of #MuchADo):

    The Truth

    ©2013 Mosher/Whitesides

    I was reading back through the pages of my history
    I found you there – so innocent
    Your eyes your hair the way you smile the way you touch
    It all inspired me – to trust you

    Those conversations you were having always hiding
    All came back to me – those conversations
    You were always searching you were feeling all that loneliness
    When you’re with me – have you filled it

    Your side my side
    The Truth it can not hide
    You once were mine
    Those stars they weren’t aligned
    Your side my side
    The Truth it can not hide

    I don’t regret all the time I shared because I cared
    So much for you – every moment
    Go and bleed me out of your heart and let it beat again
    For someone new – I’ll miss you

    Chorus:
    Your side my side
    The Truth it can not hide

    Sneak Peek of The Truth

    We’ve got a demo recorded and I’m sure we’ll be sprucing it up before too long to present to the world in fully finished form. In the meantime make sure you follow her band Calico on twitter or Facebook. On that note, do the same for me Twitter <– follow Facebook <– follow. If for no other reason that to stay up on other sneak peeks either of us may be unleashing into the world. Why would you want to be the last to know? Be the first, it’s so much better!

    Stay tuned.
