9davine Back in Action
for those out of the know, 9davine is the odd yet google-effective moniker for my musical enterprises. i’m quietly putting together big plans for the fall and winter – in anticipation of my next record. i’ve slowly been leaking early/rough tracks through this website, facebook and myspace. a refreshed website is under construction over at 9davine.com. i’m in negotiations with a business manager, video production house and backing band. 9davine is also sponsor of an area baseball team – who are reigning champions in the 25+ year old division! the team is currently 2-2-2 on the fledgling 18-game season. yep, there are ties in the league after 9 innings!
original music: never treat me like stranger
never treat me like stranger is a tiny tune at just 2:09. i wrote this last night and again used the handheld recorder to put it down before i forgot it. for those curious, i use a microtrack 24/96 from m-audio. it creates an mp3 on the fly from simply pushing record. it was a long day and this was the perfect lazy jam you ride into the wee hours of the morning. it’s inspired by a few conversations i’ve had of late – mostly about how easily people get bored with their relationships (and lives in general). the last section speaks directly to that. the rest plays off the whims people chase to keep life feeling fresh. like elevate from a few weeks ago, this song will be recorded professionally in my studio for the forthcoming record. click on for the lyrics.

original music: feeling
feeling was inspired by a man at a crossroads. on one hand, he’s made it through a long, difficult time and found someone he cares for deeply along the way. on the other hand, he’s experienced enough to know that the demons could return at any time and that he’s never too far from when he began. sometimes you can’t tell start from finish, up from down or beginning from end. click for the lyrics, this is a roughed version with just a bit of polish applied. it will be featured on my forthcoming record.

original music: elevate (rough)
elevate is a song that came to me today. funny’s how entire songs come to me in an instant. all i have to do is listen, drop what i’m doing and record it before it leaves me. i didn’t bother heading into the recording studio out back to make it pretty. just used a handheld recorder to create this rough. you’ll hear me blowing out the mic during the choruses. i’ll re-record this for that “record to be” late this year. click on for the lyrics.
