I think this qualifies as Creativity. Just thought you guys might be mildly interested in hearing a few of my songs that I finally got around to putting on the internet.
I have at least twenty others that I haven't recorded yet, but I can only post a maximum of four at a time on MySpace. These aren't the ones I really consider my best or anything, just the ones that I had on hand to upload. All three are original compositions.
I recorded them all with Adobe Audition 1.0 as single tracks, singing and playing guitar (and, on "Quiet," harmonica). They're really pretty rough; I only added preliminary reverb effects and such. (I'm new to Audition, so it's a trial-and-error process.) What I really need to do for tracks like "Dr. Shaw" is find a band to play with.
Yeah. Right.

A few words about the songs:
-- "Quiet" is one that I had floating around in my head for a long time, but only recently finished and recorded. It's kind of a downer, I know, but I'm prone to melancholy, so what can I say?
-- "Dr. Shaw" is about a psychiatrist of whom I once made the acquaintance. If you can stand the repetitive guitar riff, the lyrics are worth it.
-- "Kayla's Song" was written for a very dear friend who helped me through some hard times and then fell upon some of her own. In spirit, it was somewhat inspired by Simon & Garfunkel's "Kathy's Song." The ironic thing is that we had a rather nasty falling-out subsequently and don't really speak anymore, but I still sing the song with fond memories in mind.

My petrology prof is named Dr. Shaw... And he's definately nothing like the lyrics...
