A Simpler Life

I have uploaded a new song on my MySpace page. It's a song from my CD, Tallulah Lake, entitled "A Simpler Life". The song is actually quite different than most of the other songs on the CD because it has a Ska feel.

My agent called me a few months ago. "You know those funny Geiko cavemen commercials? Well, they're turning those characters into a sitcom. They're looking for songs that feature either the words Neanderthal or Caveman".

Huh. Sounds easy enough. I don't actually have any songs lying around that contain those words (who does?) but how hard could it be? Since I had over the weekend to come up with something I decided to give it a shot. Usually films and TV shows want something yesterday. I wrote the song in one evening (unusual for me) and spent the weekend arranging and recording it.

I still haven't heard anything from the Cavemen people but they're still having issues with the show! I heard they had to re-shoot the pilot. At any rate, I ended up liking the song quite a bit and thought it would be fun to include it on my CD project. At that time I needed another song or two and decided to include it.

Like everything else I write my feeling is "if you like it, cool. If not, that's okay, too." What I hear now from people is that this song gets stuck in their head. They can't make it go away!

I hope that's a good thing.
