the strangest things can make your day
I had written a pretty long post, but then my lappy went nuts, so here is the abbreviated version...
Yesterday was awesome because
1) I got Matt's cd in the mail. Its really good. Check him out on myspace music at Underthecoverofautumn. Buy it.
I basically think it was great because it was really personally inspiring. Matty has been working on this cd forever, and though I have known him for only a few years, I know it has been a lifelong dream to put his music out there. Well, it is out, and it is great. It is a very personal cd... whether it feels personal to me because I know him and I know some of the background to his songs... or just because it IS, I dont know. I think it is a very honest cd, and it is easy to tell his heart is in it. I hope that you all get a chance to check it out.
2) Awhile ago I posted the clip of me singing Into The West over the summer with Project Philly. You can see it HERE if you want to. Anyway, I get random comments on it from time to time, and it makes me feel pretty good. So yesterday, right after I started listening to Matt's cd which was inspiring me to sing, I got an email through youtube from an independent film maker. Random enough, he came across me singing and asked if I would be interested in singing the end credits song to the film he is currently directing/producing.
Skeptical, I email him back... and we have had some correspondance since... and he kinda sounds legit. I am doing my best not to get too excited. But it would be so neat! He said I could write the song or generate ideas for the lyrics once he sends me the screenplay in January. He mostly sounds legit because he did NOT ask me to come to North Carolina, where he lives. He said if there was a way, I could just record up there. So it kind of sounds like this guy is both serious and real.
Again, I am trying to not get too excited over it all... But the other day I was in visiting Jenn at her work and there was a cd for the Novair 2000, which I did the voice over for. I do not know if it is on the cd or if they did it over using someone else or whatever - but I thought it was sooo cool that my voice was on a cd that is sent out to companies and stuff. And yes, this is an independent film, but how cool would that be if it was ME singing the end credits...
So hopefully this will all come to pass...
I just think it is really neat that I got something so inspiring and awesome from Matt and then someone contacts me about singing for a movie. Honestly, even if it was just some kid making a movie for his film class, I would still love to do it. So we will see. :)
