New Songs for August!

I'm not sure about you guys, but I spend a fair amount of time driving around the Country...and the world. One of the things that I like most about it is finding the little gems off the beaten path. All the little towns that aren't on any maps. Europe has an abundance of great little places that have been there, it seems, since the beginning of time. I love driving through and stopping for a bite or a cup of coffee. I love the "old world" feel of small town Europe. But that's not what inspired my latest entries for "Songs in the Raw".

It has been my travel around the USA that inspired my most recent entry to "Songs in the Raw". I find small town America to be incredibly interesting. I wrote a song called "Welcome to Nowhere" about all the little ghost towns that dot the countryside of this vast land. Places that used to be bustling, that are now dead. Maybe towns that were single industry driven or got swallowed up by neighboring cities and lost their identity. I am especially intrigues by the "one stop sign" towns that pop up on the back roads. Literally, one stop sign, vacant buildings, an old school diner and a post office with a tattered American flag dangling in the wind out front. Usually there is a real sense of American history here. A town that was once bustling with activity is now a ghost town. There's usually a barber shop and a dime store. Maybe a water tower with the name of the town fading on it's side. I love these little places. It's the heart of our country. Check out "Welcome To Nowhere" at "Songs in the Raw" for my musical interpretation of my experience there.

On a completely different note, the next song is called "Just Say When" and it's about on a relationship based on sex. I play the "bad boy" who likes to drink and hang out with his friends. A woman has fallen for me, but really, it's about the physical relationship.

I've been involved in a few relationships that were doomed from the start. Two people who really have no business being together. The songs is actually sort of true in that regard. I was a heavy drinker that had no business being in any kind of relationship....EVER....but hey......we all have needs.

Anyway, "Just Say When" is a self-indulgent man promoter song that you can give a listen to at "Songs in the Raw". The group of songs up there now are pretty cool and represent a wide variety of styles. I think you'll enjoy making your way through the lot of them. There are only 6 songs. Head over to "Songs in the Raw" and try it out.

On a different note, 24,000 people have viewed my video "The Way I Feel". I'm not sure how this is happening, but I recommend checking it out.
