Hey Barnsonians..
I wanted to post here first that I have a new CD available for download at Timpane.com. You can also get a copy on CD if you snd me a mailing address.
It is available for download at http://www.timpane.com/mp3
“HELLO, I LOVE YOU, GOODBYE vol 2” is the second compilation of Love songs by Justin Timpane (me!!) written between 1992 and 2005. The Album has ten tracks, with five new recordings of older material, two remastered songs from readmission, and three new songs entitled “Only Begun”, “Miracle”, and “One Day”.
The first volume was created in 2000, and much of the feedback asked “what about this song or that song” – hence, volume 2.
Because there is no real description of the songs anywhere, here are a few synopses..
“Only Begun” – 2005 – A new song for Kelly (my wife) that emphasizes the turning points upcoming.. the “breakwave” of kids, 30, and getting older.. oh, and listen for the “Kelly’s song” hook.
“Long Long Time” – 1994 – A song for an old girlfriend, I like it because it has a lot of poetry to it.. “Imagine I am the sand and you are the ocean. Together and apart, ever reaching to the sky”.
“Teardrops” – 1995 – A song for when the old girlfriend and I broke up.. a simple idea about sitting in the rain (John Cusack Style) reminiscing on all the future plans that will never be
“Forever Yours” – 1997 – A song I wrote for Kelly when we were still dating.. just a good pop hook.. “I want to kiss the tears in your eyes.”
“The Last Time” – 1998 – Previously on “Can You See Yourself” a sad song I wrote after a really sad dream, but I hated the old version of it.. so here is a mournful version that people say is the best song on this album.
“All Before” – 2001 – The first song written on “Readmission” – this is actually the same recording, but remastered. The concept: How do you write a love song for someone you’ve written love songs for and have it not get old?
“Everything’s Wonderful” – 2003 – Also from “Readmission, also an old recording remastered. This song is the only 3rd person song on the CD, telling the story of “Zachary and Jennifer”, and their lifelong romance.
“Miracle” – 2004 – A simple piano song about how really cool it is to be happy with someone. Barnson.org has featured it before.
“One Day” – 2005 – A song for Kelly, outlining what its like to be impressed by someone who changes and grows in really cool ways, and its a fun poppy hook.
“You Are” – 1992 – A song that is 14 years old.. whew!! I and others always liked this song live, but the three previous recordings left something to be desired.. so I have created a definitive version that I think is the best song on the album.
I invite feedback, and really, I just like to share with this talented group what I’ve been up to!
Ooh, neat…
Congratultions. I’ll definitely check out the MP3s.
