I was watching Rivers Cuomo’s (lead singer/guitarist of Weezer) Youtube page and he is writing a song from fan input. I was very glad to see how far he has come from what he once was. He’s always been a good guy but has often been understood and now has a pretty good relationship with his fans. Anyway, I missed the chord progression submission deadline and the song went in a different direction that he was intending. It started out as an idea about a guy from the 80′s that felt a closeness to his music and it got him through the day. It was supposed to be poppy, fun, but tough at the same time.
He was asking for a song somewhere between 110-135 bpm. The responses weren’t what he was asking for at all so he rolled with it like a true champ. Anyway, I decided to write my own version and came up with something quite catchy that I am really pleased with. I think I would like to get some time in a recording studio before too long here. I’ve recently been on a writing rampage and have a good amount of new content that I’d like to put down. The newest is a pretty upbeat, catchy pop tune. I’m quite pleased. Maybe if I ever get it recorded I’ll send it to him to see what he thinks….
