Two songs I wrote for musicals

Posted: 7/4/05 at 4:08am

Okay,

So I have been avoiding this a long time, because I son't even know. But anyways...here are two songs I wrote for musicals I am writing. These are two different musicals, so keep that in mind. One is taped live at a gig I did on Toronto, and the other is recorded fairly crappily. Lemme know what you think. Ypu may have to turn the second one way up volume wise.

Oh and note: IGNORE the banter before the second one, hah...it is useless and annoying. Go to 2:38 for the ACTUAL begining of the song.

"Here You Stand" : http://s22.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3BAYDMYT3NTU121DG32OFWVGK8

"In the Movies" : http://s22.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=125K8T86TAILC23VYHP03K1RPE

Here goes nothing,

Akiva

P.S. there songs are Copyright ME...don't even think about it buster.

Hearing you say 'Props' after explaining the Wall, made me giggle a TINY bit, but here, it's starting.


Here You Stand was great, but I LOVED In The Movies. Wow. Great job!
Well, I'm glad he got away with it.

Is anyone having trouble with getting "In the Movies" to play well? It's file seems a bit garbled on my computer... I really like both of them though...

And son of a gun, The file IS garbled, hah. We recorded it in a very echoey room, plus some stuff got screwed up on the computer.

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness. Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings. Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end. But end it does. Another part of you vanishes. That's show business."-Anonymous

Akiva,

You already know I love those songs. I'm impressed by the quality of the Coffee House recording. I'm glad I get to listen to it again.

A rising talent. Pretty good.

There's a book I've read called The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama that I think could be musicalized. I think you should read it and see if you think the same.

They are both soo good. First one - Very powerful message and relation to Jews(what what). Second one- Easy to relate to and very catchy.

Both AMAZING.

Thanks guys,

tshell...thanks, hah. You heard it live, first time I ever prformed it for a crowd. hah...Hopefully that'll be something to tell people in the future. Oh and you still owe me an email about your NY experiences.

James2, I'll look it up, although I am hesitant to musicalize any copywritten materila until I become more established, and it is easier for me to get the rights. But thanks for the tip-off.

Ok, I'm still on the first song, but I love it, so I have to comment now. I wouldn't comment on this thread if I didn't think highly of it, but I think you did great job.

Thanks guys,

Any of you have any suggestions or critism, althoug I guess that is hard since there isn't much context for the songs given here.
