Till Ya Get Home

Back in January 2008 (yes 2 years ago!) I blogged about a song I was in the process of making called "I miss you (eh oh)". Finally, just over a month ago, I completed that song - and here it is!



Now you're probably thinking "Nice... but where's the 'Eh oh' part??" (the 'nice' part is optional). Here's you answer - I had to remove it =(

I've been told several times in my life that when you have a good idea you shouldn't put it out into the universe until you can execute that idea. Apparently once something is IN the universe, someone else would pick up on it. Now I've never believed it (until now) but herein lies the proof that it holds true - Someone else did it!

Yes, despite seemingly looking like a long shot, another local artist released a song into the market with a similar title, similar use of the word, and has even done a decent job of it! To be honest I did wonder for a split second whether my postings were of any influence, but I scrapped that thought because com'n, who really reads my blog?

So, despite composing the song over 2 years ago, I just couldn't bear the thought of people thinking that I'm a copycat, so I made a last minute decision to remove the 'eh oh' part... which didn't turn out to be so bad after all.

Pushed to a corner, I think I came up with something that is even more catchier - I mean who could forget a line like 'Till ya Till Ya Get Home', especially with the uniqueness of the 'Till ya' part repeating twice? Right? Okay it's subjective - so never mind then - but I think it worked out better so nyeeee! =P

Most important is that it didn't take away the story and the essence of the song, which (if you're wondering) is a true story. Well, more accurately, WAS a true story (ok I acknowledge that's grammatically wrong but you know what I mean). And if you follow my blog, you can pretty much put two and two together. And that's all I gotta say about that...

Enjoy! =)
