Band Members: Bec Smith - songwriter; guitar, piano & vox

Influences: Music: An eclectic mix...Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Wonder, Tori Amos, Hall & Oates, Sheryl Crow, CSN&Y (and many respective solo albums thereafter), Sarah McLachlan, NeeNee, Rufus Wainright, Heidi Berry, Rie Sinclair, Rod Mooridian, Aimee Mann, Dan Wilson, Ben Folds, Coldplay, Landing Gear, Travis, U2, the good 80's pop music that you can still remember every lyric and every note today when it comes on the radio, Warren Zevon, Bonnie Raitt, Elliot Smith, Erykah Badu, Deathcab for Cutie, Doobie Brothers, Elton John, Billy Joel, These Modern Socks, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, Paula Cole, almost any and all old standards, Joni Mitchell, Something Corporate & the fantastic one-hit by Hoku, "Perfect Day." Nothing makes me smile like that song.
Otherwise: Heartbreak, hearing a really great new song I've never heard & having it inspire me, sitting down at the piano and later realizing 3 hours have passed, good poetry, bad relationships, good relationships that turn bad, science, God, my journey & yours...and how often our paths continue to cross, wishing I wasn't at work, melodies that appear out of thin air, lyrics that stem from something I said or you said and it turns into a song, the way we are in bed together, what happens when your bed isn't an option for me anymore, your infidelity, divorce, seperation, starting over, meeting you, having even more to write about than I can keep up with, the recording studio, hot coffee, conversations about things that no one else ever seems to want to talk about, friends, wishing you and I were more than friends, the perfect storm, my personal weakness in an area that I thought I was so strong, finding an old song I wrote recorded on a cassette tape that I forgot about, my Dad, the future...and what will happen once I get there.
