I have made the first of FOUR demos from songs I’ve written for New Tune Tuesday. You voted on which songs have been your favorite so far. The first one I’m releasing is “Giant.” Please take a listen and grab a free download.

Thanks to everyone who has subscribed to my YouTube Channel New Tune Tuesday, I’ve hit 10 songs!

I’ve written and posted 10 songs in the last 12 weeks (took two weeks off for Christmas) and I am so excited about how New Tune Tuesday has helped me to improve my writing output as well as get instant feedback and interaction with you about my new songs. If you haven’t seen an NTT video yet, please watch Week 10- Bird of Paradise to see what it’s all about. Also, in the week 10 video I explain how every time I get to 10 songs, YOU will get to vote and decide which songs out of the previous 10 you want me to record a demo of. So if you’re just tuning in, check out all the videos and then vote for your favorite by posting a comment on my YouTube or Facebook page. Wish me luck on the next 10 NTT’s!!

Enjoy! Lyrics on my “Music” page

I’m excited to tell you that I’ve finally taken the time to remix my song “Patrol” which was originally on my demo album “So Clearly” that I released in 2008. This song has been a fan favorite over the last couple of years, and I am continually surprised when people request that I perform it at live shows. So, I’ve decided to make a decent recording of the song since so many people like it.
When I recorded the original version of “Patrol” I had just started my schooling at Berklee College of Music. “Patrol” was the first song I ever did using the program Reason and was my first attempt at MIDI sequencing. I also didn’t have good mics or audio interfaces at the time, and had next to no skills in mixing. I guess it was about time to do this song a little justice in recorded form, I hope you like what I’ve done with it!

Please feel free to hear the song, download it for free or name your price for the mp3:

LYRICS:

“Patrol”
Aryn Michelle 2008
Black moon rolls on a still night as I face the lonesome rider
horses all of red and white under the trees and by his side
as I gaze across the ravine, I cry out, “Lord, what are these?”
and the rider speaks to me, “Across the earth they will patrol.”

Patrol, patrol, patrol
patrol, patrol, patrol, patrol

I once knew a captain that tossed a ship across the sea
water threatened his life from above and from beneath
as he gazed across the deep, he cried out, “Lord what of me?”
he appoints a boy to be atop the bow, he shall patrol

Patrol, patrol, patrol
patrol, patrol, patrol, patrol

and you are like a soldier in the army of all men
watching ever closer for an attack that will descend
be alert for evil and greed, and cry out, “Lord, help our need”
to preserve the harmony, everyday pray and patrol

Patrol, patrol, patrol
patrol, patrol, patrol, patrol
Patrol, patrol, patrol, patrol
patrol, patrol, patrol, patrol
