First: check out this awesome trailer for “A Game of Honor.”

The stillmotion crew has been working hard on this documentary for Showtime/CBS and it airs tomorrow night (December 21) on Showtime.

Why bring this up you may ask?  Because we just so happen to have a tune in the documentary.  stillmotion always does awesome work and we’re super excited that we get to be a small part of this project.  Tune in tomorrow night (or set your DVRs.)

This song is not particularly hopeful but it is extremely honest. These are the kinds of songs I am drawn to for some reason. The imagery in the last stanza is so gripping and familiar that I just had to sing it. The burning desire to be “made right” is found in each of us in one form or another but feels so elusive doesn’t it?
This recording is low quality (as most of our live stuff is) but seemed secondary to the content. We hope you agree.

“So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow… I still have a dream” – MLK Jr

We originally posted this song in June of 2009 as part of our song a week project.  Martin Luther King Jr. was such a powerful orator and his words still carry as much impact today.

We had a really nice time back out at the stone barn.  We spent some time writing, dreaming, and a little bit of recording.  Last night about 10:30 we decided to record a cover and post it on youtube… and the video is really awkward.  So you can look forward to that!  In the meantime enjoy our cover of Sara Bareilles’ Love Song.

Update: Stillmotion has created a couple of beautiful pieces using City Lights and Fall.

We’re happy to announce an exciting new partnership of sorts.  Occasionally we’ll be contacted by people who are interested in licensing our music for different types of projects.  There hasn’t been a very good vehicle for independent content creators to license music from indie musicians in an affordable fashion.  The crew at With Etiquette is one of the first to step into that gap and help.  Now indie musicians can get compensated for having their music used in small projects, and on reasonable terms for indie content creators.  So if you’re interested in licensing our music for a project of yours don’t hesitate to contact us or the With Etiquette crew.  And if you don’t care about licensing our music you should still check out their website and listen to some of the other artists on there.  Check out this sweet video made by Kansas City photographer and videographer Mike Varel.  Music is by the lovely Amy Seeley.
