I don’t want to spoil the video below, but I just wanted to say that the last few months have been AMAZING. It was so cool how Secrets in Stereo came together with so many Twilight fans. And, I hope (and believe) it’s just the beginning.
We did something really special with “Vanish.” Something I’ve never seen before. And, I don’t think it will be the last time it happens (hint hint). Stay tuned to secretsinstereo.com, twitter.com/joshryan, and facebook.com/secretsinstereo to keep up with what I’m doing. It’s gonna get fun!
I’ve gotten all kinds of amazing insight from you guys. We’ve written a killer tune. Now, it’s time to give this thing life. Episode 8 is the beginning, and this is day one of production. To kick things off, I’m joined by the super talented Nathan Walters at Sorted Noise studios to lay down some tasty tracks.
SOOOOOOO… the video of Episode 6 below contains a “first listen” of the song we are writing for New Moon. It’s called “Vanish.” But, before you press play, I wanted to set it up a bit.
First, I’m writing the song with two amazing songwriters who I’ve worked with many times before, Jason Collum and Nathan Walters. As we were trying to decide our direction with the song, we were really inspired to look at it from Edward’s point of view. Really get into his head leading up to, and during, this process of forcing himself to separate from Bella. In doing that, we found that his situation isn’t all that uncommon, and one we all had been through at some point. Which was interesting.
This is a difficult song. Not necessarily to write or perform (although it’s not exactly easy to perform), but “difficult” in a sense that it is the “anti-love” love song, in a way. Even, if the words aren’t the truth. They are still going to hurt. It is written from a dark emotional place.
Secondly, the performance on the video is the first time we played the song all the way through in its entirety. I did this because I want you guys to see how the song develops from you what you hear now, to what it will eventually become. It’s going to be very cool.
Also, sorry for the shakiness and weird “neck” shots. It is apparently very tough to shoot and sing a song for the first time simultaneously.
I finished the book! There is such a sad tone throughout. I felt like, even when the characters were happy, they were still sad. Does that make sense?
I will say this… I have a new respect for Stephenie Meyer as an author. Amazing writer. I have only seen “Twilight” the movie, and I honestly got a very different vibe from the characters (and the story, in general) in the book as oppose to what I saw in the movie. Interesting.
Anyway, on to Episode 2…
