Story Verses Chorus

Get a preview of the new podcast, Story Verses Chorus.  With each episode I’ll explore one song I’ve written with my band, The Mixelpricks, including the themes, music and stories behind each one.  If you love music and storytelling you’ll enjoy Story Verses Chorus.

This week, we explore the song… Bob.  It’s fun, up-tempo, and not at all serious.  While Bob may be goofy, it tells us something about persistence and never giving up.

This week, we explore the song… Indifferent to Love.  Take a journey through my musical and writing background to discover my motivation for writing a song influenced by a collection of events and circumstances that may not be so apparent by the title alone.

This week, I explore the song… Here With Me.  On the surface it may seem innocent, but a further examination leads to a murkier discovery hiding below.  When entertaining darker themes in music we may be better able to understand the light.

This week I explore the song, GDFC.  Sometimes we travel through life ignoring the importance of otherwise mundane experiences.  However, taking the time to assign meaning to them can lead to a greater understanding of ourselves. 

This week I explore the song… Hey What’s Up?  Dealing with disappointment and heartache can strike anyone at any time.  Finding your inner strength is key to recovery and accepting that hand of support to pull you out before it’s too late.

This week I explore the song… Stupid Paper Guitar.  I wrap season one of the podcast with another silly track chronicling a child’s obsession to create something greater, while inadvertently affecting change in others. It’s a reflection on where we’ve been and what’s hiding inside all of us.
