The Park Record and KPCW

Part of this exciting week included an article in the Park Record and an amazing interview on Randy Barton's show on KPCW. Jenna and I did acoustic versions of Becoming Undefined and The War Inside. The show was aired live from the Town Lift Plaza and the audience there really liked my originals. It was wonderful to see people enjoying my music. Hopefully, I will get a copy of the interview and you all can hear it here.

The War Inside

Here is the first song I wrote, when I was 13 years old. I woke up at 2:00 am and wrote down the lyrics in 20 minutes. I had been working on the music prior to the lyrics but finalized it all over the next 6 months. Here is the first time the band performed it and you can tell we didn't have it perfect.....but you get the idea. Hope you like it.

The War Inside
Ever Since Tomorrow

Music by : Donovan Colton

Lyrics by: Donovan Colton with Jenna Colton

Verse 1:

             You see the darkness in a tunnel of illuminating light

             I’m sitting by your side thinking how I’m going to make it through the night

             I see the conflict in your eyes

             How long have we been living in this lie

             As I look at you, you look at me, and now I can finally see

             The war inside your head

Verse 2:

             Tomorrow is today and today is yesterday

             Like a vulture flying near just waiting for it’s prey

             I’m going like a racecar going out of control

             I’m looking at you, asking for your help

             But all I can see

             Is the war inside your head

Chorus:

             I see the guns in battle, the explosions and the darkness falls around

             I look at you, you look at me, and now I can finally see

             I close my eyes and hold on tight and wish for a happy landing

             But I open my eyes and stop the dream and now I can finally see

             The war inside your head

Verse 3:

              Drowning hopelessly in this endless sea

             Getting closer to the air that we can’t reach

             Falling under the waves hoping to be saved

             Really wish I could make this better

Chorus:

Solo:

Pre-Chorus:

            You see the darkness in a tunnel of illuminating light

            I’m sitting by your side, just waiting for the fight

Chorus:

Burn The Seas and Interview with Ori Hoffer

I had my sister's help with this song. I wrote the music and the basic idea of the lyrics and Jenna wrote the lyrics and the melody line. It was fun to collaborate with my sister. Hope you like it.

Becoming Undefined by Ever Since Tomorrow

Ori Hoffer asked us to do three originals on PCTV's Mountain Views. This is the first time the band has performed them and we are on TV......Yeah. Hope you like it.

Winger's Unplugged Montage

We added a few country tunes to our regular rock line-up to round out our 2 hours of acoustic music. Winger's is a fun venue and the food is awesome. I hope you enjoy Ever Since Tomorrow Unplugged.

Ever Since Tomorrow Photo Shoot--Summer 2011

Jamie Bass Thorpe is the amazing photographer who has been taking my bands' photos for years. She always gets really great and interesting shots. My mom now has pictures of Jenna and I all over the house and finally hired Jamie to do the whole family's pictures so the rest of the family can be represented.
