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,

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!

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.

Posted: 7/5/05 at 12:12amOk, 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.

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.
