Slow Motion Dancing
Every song is a collection of ideas. The ideas that came together in this song just happen to groove together. Call me crazy, but this might be my favorite of the demos. Once Future Music Now is released, you might see why I can't possibly decide, but right now, I'm most curious what you all think.
Chicken Little
I had an idea that I might make a hip-hop album someday (and I still might), but this song was really the best of all my work in that direction. Chicken Little is my hope for a future, though in retrospect, the tempo-sliding on this demo is a little bit over the edge. What do you think?
Kick Off
This song is about that elated feeling you get as you begin to realize what you're already capable of becoming. Now, Kick Off used to be performed exclusively acoustically, but I've had a real joy in electronifying it. Sometime I'll upload an acoustic demo as well so you can tell me which direction to take it on Future Music Now.
Free Love
This is a song that's gone through a lot of changes. Instrumentation, tempo, and lyrics have been up in the air since my early days with Tensure. Before this song reaches completion on Future Music Now, it will change even more than what you hear here. I hope you like to be wowed, because the new final version is gonna kick ass.
So Small
This is a little song I wrote when I was sixteen, walking through Italy's catacombs, wondering about the world. It's as short as it's name, and hopefully as sweet. By the time you hear the final album version, it'll sound completely different--but that's one of the joys of getting to hear it both ways.
