Chris Shepard

This is me doing what I do best; a record of sorts of all the different stuff I've been into. Weather it be playing the drums, or writing and arranging a song,

These are all songs clips from various musical projects I've been involved in over the last few years in some capacity or another. Mostly, it's me, Chris Shepard, on the drums, but I also took a great part in some of the lyrical content, song arrangement, and writing. If you check out the song info, you'll get an idea of how involved I was in that particular recording. All songs on the music page are in chronological order, with 1 being the earliest recording I have. All of these songs are original tunes by the bands, unless otherwise noted.

Story behind the song

This was pretty much the first tune that me, Mitch, and Dennis put together after we decided to stem away from The 5/8 Theory and form a new band.  

It was concieved before we had a proper rehearsal space (we jam packed all of our stuff into a very small bedroom at Dennis' house) or even before we had completed the line up for the band.  The lyrics are a story about how 'The Boogieman' has regrets about scaring a young girl - Carol, and he writes these letters to the little girl explaining how he feels about her.

This is a rough mix that was done before the final mastering.  If I can find the final version, I'll put it on here, but this at least gives you an idea of what it is.

Lyrics

Dear Carol,

 I’m sorry I scared you out of your skin. I’m the monster that’s been hiding under you bed.
To fear, or not it doesn’t matter anymore.  Because I’m here, I’m real, and I’m never going away.

 
YOU’LL NEVER RUN FAR ENOUGH AWAY!!!!

 Dear Carol,

 I didn’t realize you had such wonderful eyes. You can’t be the enemy I’ve hated so long.

 YOU’LL NEVER RUN FAR ENOUGH AWAY!!!!

I’m giving the best of me. I’ve given the best of me.

And I roam.

 
What the point of even trying?  I’m too weak and you’re too mean.

I’ve given the best of me, I’ve taken:  All these precious lives I’ve taken.

 
And I roam.
