House of the Rising Sun | PREVIEW SCREENING (Patreon)

This is just a super cool song. The title is cool. The melody is cool. Singing it makes me feel cool... Which is quite a feat because I am about the most UN-cool person you'd ever want to meet. But maybe, just maybe, publicly releasing this song might give me a little boost in my coolness, and perhaps if I keep working on it really hard, one day, I might actually BE cool.

Probably not though.

That doesn't change the fact that "House of the Rising Sun" is just a darn cool tune. It took me a hot minute to figure out what to do with it though because I really didn't want to spend the whole song above middle C screaming my face off (no one wants to hear that). But after a bit of tinkering I got it figured out, and the video you're about to watch is where it ended up. Or should I say "ended down"?

We shot this in the middle of the night in a not so wonderful part of Orlando in a studio that had no air conditioning oh-and-by-the-way it was about 90 degrees F outside.  Kathy was convinced we were gonna get butchered up by a roving cannibal gang and fed to the zomb-pigs. Also, I almost burned my hand on that friggin' lighter and I had a hangnail that hurt real bad.  See how we suffer for you!?

Anyway, we made it out alive, and now we've made this.

It's no longer just mine, it's now yours, too and I hope you love it.

Thank you for everything and I'll see you soon.
