New Song: College Town 4 Life
Well.. here it is everyone... my new tune... "College Town 4 Life".
All I can say is it's been a journey. I think I finally figured out that the reason why I didn't end up scrapping this song and I pulled on through to finish it is that it represents overcoming a negative event with creativity. That when people do mean things to you... you can turn that into something grand and creative. I was able to take stupid prank played on me (see previous blog on backstory of this song http://bennyeast.com/blog/?p=3441) and I turned it around and put the negative energy those individuals in that car that night gave out... into something, well... productive... I created this song... although the song isn't exactly the most positive message... I like the idea that I was able to take the negative energy of those people... and ... well...
Turn it into something super creative! So that's the lesson and the idea of this song... when someone tries to do something mean to you... just turn around and put it into a creative outlet! I think the world would be a much better place if we put things into creative outlets instead of other non-healthy ways of dealing with the world (such as the binge drinking scene talk about in the chorus of this song).
So here you go mystery joy riders from over a year ago... I dedicate this song to you... from the brief impression lasting only seconds... here's what you inspired me to make...
I definitely could have kept editing it... the intro solo is slightly awry... it's not in time with the high-hat I think or something is slightly off about it... but it's just going to have to be part of the song. Life has its mistakes... and since the whole idea of the song is making a mistake with the direction of your life in general... I think it fits the theme. So kids... don't spend your life living in your college town playing flip cup and beer pong every night as the song states... go out and make something productive! Go out and be part of society! Flip cup and beer pong have their place... but... eventually you have to graduate and head out in the world. But there are lots of awesome things to experience out in the world... I'd say it's rather interesting. Life is full of adventure.
Anywho... now that I have finally finished this song... I can move on to more wonderful and creative things... so stay tuned for more songs and videos with a... slightly more positive message to them, hopefully.
