NEW SONG!!!! "You & Me"

This weeks post concerns some current music! Some might call that new music! I'm both happy and proud to present to you, "You & Me" by Written and performed by Parker Edwards and Willy Eklof. Produced by Parker.



You might be thinking to yourself.. "You and I, you mean?" Well without spoiling all the hidden gems of significance here, I WILL take the liberty of going throught the title a bit :) "you and me" BECAUSE it's incorrect.. It was intentional. I love this title because it really does a fantastic job explaining the song with out even trying. That's all I'll say about that, I'll leave the rest up to your imagination.

I think the reason this is such a deep expressive piece, is because of the process by which it came to be. I love this story. Parker and I sat down to just go over some tracks and potentially brainstorm ideas for tracks that he'd been developing. An hour or two and a Beto's meal later, I just grabbed his electric guitar and started explaining what pinch harmonics (squeelies) are. Then, something magical and marvelous happened. We were running it through his mixer, and due to the need for heavy distortion in order to properly execute a good squeely, Parker went to adjust it and the delay came on by accident. Almost instantaneously I plucked a harmonic and he started the delay. This amazing sounding loop grew and developed as Parker masterfully tweaked and adjusted the mixer he's become so familiar with. From that sprung the entire song, lasting a record length for me of (6:30) the version above, being only a cut of the original. We wrote it and produced it in about 2 hours, and I couldn't be happier  with the way this song makes me feel. It's definitely a vibe song to me. And it calms me down. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I do. Please share thoughts or feelings or questions or anything that comes to you as you listen. Huge thanks to Parker and his awesomeness! Be on the watch for more from him!! Until next week! -Willy Sunshine
