Just posted some new music for the extra-special, inner-circle Brick & Stone Club. They were two songs that I recorded in 2005, on my grandmother's computer mic, trying to keep quiet while she was asleep.
This song was originally released as a demo in November 2006. It was done as a very rough recording, which we made available on our Songwriting Archive, a section of this website which is exclusively available to our fan club members.
Later in December and the beginning of this year, it was featured on our dad's radio show out of Charleston, WV.
In February this year, we released this studio-recorded version to the fanclub, and we had some positive responses from it, so we thought we'd share it with the rest of the world.
It may never show up on an album, as most of our songs don't, but we figured some of our listeners might like to hear some of our interim projects that go on BETWEEN albums. The two versions included below will give you an idea what the songwriting and production process is like.
So, without further ado, we give you..."Elijah":

...Though we were within 40 minutes of starting,
it seemed that for the first time in three months we were finally able
to just relax and breathe it all in. We were all goofing off, throwing
random objects at each other, and laughing about nonsense. From time to
time, random people would step in an take pictures, but it was kind of
all a blur to me. We'd been working so hard promoting, traveling,
setting up and tearing down, coordinating press and media promotions,
talking to fans, and making appearances, and now it seemed like
everything just abruptly stopped. That's when I realized there was
something I'd forgotten...
