KD Music

Post by Kevin Davis »

Some original music I've been working on with my brother. We've named the musical enterprise "Les Freres Heureux," which is a joke from a Frasier episode.

"Clear the Entrance"

"Late in the Evening"

"Hilltop 52"

Despite my lifelong dream of fronting a big loud rock band, this is acoustic music, primarily because we own acoustic instruments. Hopefully you enjoy :)

I dig all three of those songs, KD. I think Clear the Entrance is the "best" in terms of all around songwriting. Though, I really hate when people use the word "soul" in song lyrics. I didn't mind it so much in that song, but for some reason that word just jolts me right out of a listening experience and makes me cringe. Keep in mind Black is one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs. :lol:

But my favorite of these three is Hilltop 52. Great little number, that. Very wistful and nostalgic in a warm way. Made me miss home and my old high school friends.

That's how I feel about "bliss" and "strife," Joey, so I relate. But hey, what're ya gonna do? Thanks for listening, buddy.

Pain is the biggest one for me. There's usually a better word to use. :lol:

Good stuff, KD. Hilltop 52 for me too. It tickles me where I tickle.

Good work on the recording too. Was it done by yourself or your brother? Nice and clean.

Pretty much why I don't like Amongst the Waves much. But yea, it didn't bug me much here.

I'm digging it, "Clear the Entrance" especially. There's a bit of a Decemberists vibe going on. Your (?) singing/phrasing reminds of Colin in songs like January Hymn.

I liked the songs... how long did they take to come together?
