songs with tim erisman
i met tim through the internet (we've never actually met in person!),
and we've been writing songs together for a few months now. usually,
he sends me a lyric, we bounce some lyric revisions back and forth
for a while, and then i go to work on the music. tim has also come
up with some melodies of his own, so some of our songs wind up with
two or three versions...
tim has his own
songs page
as well. in addition to links to most of these songs, he has a couple
"vocal only" tracks of his own melodies for some of these songs, too.
the songs
where did we go wrong
our first collaboration; there were actually three versions
of this song - a fast version with my melody, a slow version
with my melody, and a slow version with a melody tim came up
with. this is my "fast" version, which seems to be our collective
favorite so far.
i still feel you near
tim came up with the original lyric; i made a bunch of suggestions,
some of which he used, and then he did the tune. i listened to
his vocal-only track and put together a "full band" version.
gotta get back and re-do these vocals one day...
these walls you've built
tim sent me the lyrics and i did the tune. there are a couple
lyrical lines we haven't completely agreed on yet...
the storm
a rough pre-mix; tim's lyrics and my music. needs to be polished
up and remixed; i put this version up just so tim could hear the
song.
letters from the past
another rough pre-mix, with tim's lyrics and my music.
one step at a time
another rough pre-mix, with tim's lyrics and my music.
tim had suggested an upbeat country thing; i came up with a
moderate tempo country/pop melody. tim has a vocal-only version
of his own melody online that i need to give a listen to; i may
wind up putting together a demo of his version of the song, too...
