O'Brien's Edge

More good news re Our Music and Prospects… We have 2 songs submissions into the 2011_2012 International Songwriters Competition [ISC]. Winners are decided by a panel of judges from a wide variety of the music industry and not directly from any public involvement. So hopefully you can see this note from me to you is an expression of thanks, that’s it… and nothing else. From your longstanding support given to my musical efforts, you are and always have been the best to me and will never ever be forgoten. Which is the basis for this email and post, therefor I share these links that I regard as accomplishments with you all with my gratitude. 1. Audio Track recently uploaded to my profile at soundcloud.com/shanescloud That tune is titled “Come To Terms”. it has a good story with a positive way about the lyrics http://soundcloud.com/shanescloud/come-to-terms-2 . 2. Music Video Track: Also note that at our youtube.com/sssjungle profile we have an ISC Music Video submission as well.

Sounds Very Personal and relatable as well...

Close to You, is a song where the author kinda shares with the listener, a window into a page of his personal diary . To do this intentionally can be a little difficult at times, especially for a man, and especially when it truly allows the listener deep emotionally secretive type of personal insights. Add in that within the root undertones of this song, are less than successful attempts at securing a passionate relationship. An almost pleading outburst from an obviously proud man. All in all, this song is an uninhibited and unrelenting request of a man to a woman to forget about all the bull sh** in life or love, and consider a love that will last with each other as one.

The Story Behind the Song November 21st 2010 The Bluesman ©2003 A 1-4-5 progression done twice before the actual turn around that is slow and groovy also deliberate in delivery. The actual musician line up for this particular recording consists of Tony Sena performing on a ¾ scale Yamaha acoustic guitar, Danny Timms jamming on an Estey Royal spinet acoustic piano, and Shane O’Brien plucking a Martin D28 acoustic guitar and singing an improvised vocal line. Now, to the song itself. I am not sure about elsewhere in the country, rest assured that in Southern California there are plenty of musicians of the highest caliber. As well, for everyday of the week, except Fridays and Saturdays of course, there are plenty of Open Mic Jams at various venues... Many of us musicians, who are in between gigs, try our darnedest to keep our chops up by attending these publicized open jams. For us that well lets say who play our own brand of Blues or variety of Blues Rock or whatev
