Song Information:
Picture In A Box:
I wrote this song when I was 15. I first recorded it with just a drum track in the background when I was 16. When Jason and I started playing and decided to go to the recording studio in 2006 we decided re-record this song. We've received some great feedback on this tune. Zack Hexum (Nick Hexum- Lead singer of 311's little brother) even contacted me and said he liked it a lot. Most recently, this song (along with "Outside") have gotten recognition from the Showtime TV show "Weeds." But, the song is the sad incite into a situation of a suicide and the people who are left behind to pick up the pieces. Check out the lyrics page to get more info on the words and about the story more.
Over You: This song along with Allyssa, Outside, Called The House, and Sad Song were all
recorded on my friends spare bedroom/computer based recording
studio. It's just me and the guitar on these 5 songs. All these songs have a
story behind them and if you're interested what they are, comment me!
