Original: Rock of Gibraltar

Sunday afternoon we managed to finish up another track called Rock of Gibraltar, which is one of the most straight-forward rock songs we've written over the years. This song's probably about a year old, and we've been jamming around on it with Necessary Distraction ever since it was written. Everything but the guitar solo was recorded last week... it was actually copied from a demo version of the song recorded back in January.

Originals: Empty Walls / Perspective

Here are two more originals, both of which are songs we've been playing for about a year with Necessary Distraction. The chord progression for Perspective dates back to 1998 (it was one of the first songs I ever wrote/recorded) though it has been re-arranged a bit with completely new lyrics as presented here.

Empty Walls / Perspective

Original: Turn and Run

Tonight's project... polishing up an old track from the pre-Necessary Distraction days when we thought we were going to be a blues band. Pretty simple music, pretty simple lyrics... feels like it would make a good "bonus track" for our upcoming CD.

Originals: Undone / This Way for Good

Here are two originals... one (Undone) that we've been playing with Necessary Distraction for about a year now, one (This Way for Good, otherwise known as Melodi-huge) that we've been jamming around on for a few months now. I recorded the music for both during the past week, then we worked on vocals and mixing today. Check 'em out:
