            Both these songs were made as entries for the Original Music Competition over at:
 
http://music.thetesttube.com/
 
 
From May 2006 (holy crap, it's been that long already?) the theme was to write an idea for a movie and then compose a soundtrack to go along with it. I wrote a little introduction to a zombie action movie called "Civil Disturbance".
 
Story
 
Music
 
I shared first place with one other contestant for the song itself but got 2nd place overall.
 
 
This other one was for Pop Songs month. Basically the theme was to make a radio-friendly pop song. I took first place with:
 
Piece of Heaven

            I actually saw these on your site recently-- The soundtrack sounds really professional, reading it along with the story was really cool. ;)
 
 
Not much I can say about Piece of Heaven, it does indeed drip with an enormous amount of cheese, but it is well done. That kind of contradiction isn't too easy to achieve. :p

            Josiah stole everything I was going to write! Damn him ;)
 
The soundtrack for the zombieflick is really good and about the other song; it's not wrong to be cheesy sometimes and you sing helluva better than me. :) _________________

            Yeah, I too heard this stuff at your site. :)
 
 
Piece of Heaven is obviously a pretty personal song - bravo. I wouldn't have the guts to release something so personal onto the web for all to see like that, heh. _________________ http://www.distractionware.com
