The Real Thing

About Me

A Voyeur:My biological father killed himself before I was one year old. My mother walked in on his still hanging body. I was in her arms."A VOYEUR" is me looking through the window at the events leading up to and including my fathers suicide. Since I was so young, I have no concrete images of him and my mother's life together, hence being a voyeur of my own life. This album is an attempt to come to terms with the many mixed emotions about this.These songs tell the story as I imagined it to happen: 1. Ambient Night Groove (the act of making love) 2. Beautiful (seeing something that love as created) 3. 3 parts (a realizing of how big a thing raising a child is) 4. God Please Help Me (a desperate confession) 5. Through His Eyes (the end)These songs can mean anything to anybody. But this is what they mean to me. Thank you for sharing in the music.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/04/2006
Band Members: the real thing. in the order in which they appear...PAUL MORAN - The brains behind the system. Played the guitars and keyboards and recorded and mixed the album. Paul wrote nearly all the musical parts to which the other musicians expanded upon. Helped create the visual pictures to which the ideas could be "song arrangements."RYAN KIPP - Visionary. (or so I was told once and I really liked it (thanks Mike)) Lead vocals on most of the tracks, wrote the lyrics, helped create the *essence* of the album, and expressed the "emotional breakdowns" through voice. Oh yeah, and philantropist.MIKE HICKEY - Drummer extroadinaire. Played the drums, and all percussive instruments. Found a certain personal attachment to one of the original ideas we showed him and decided he was going to take good ideas and make them amazing. "The glue that holds it all together." Mike was an important part in making this album possible despite being forced to record portions outside on a farm.JOE - Bass. Definately found a way to bring a new fresh perspective to the music. Layed down the foundations for us to build on. You can hear more of Joe at www.purenj.comJUSTIN KIPP - Originator. Vocals on "shivering," played guitar, organ and harmonica. One of the original idealists, he became one of the major influences of the lyrics and purpose of the CD.
Type of Label: Major
