This one is a reverse chronological song about being tempted by the devil. Wait, is devil spelled with a capital “D?” I guess we’ll find out soon enough. Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed that the world has been getting a little wild? Though this song leans on poor decisions, today we encourage you to go out and make someone’s day. Please. And thank you. Read the rest of this entry »

So, Chris is in Austin and Claire’s internet is down – so you’ll notice a couple of things this week. Most visually, there is not yet a graphic, so that will just be a little nugget you can look forward to in a couple of days… I was going to try to do one myself, but there is no way I could do it justice. Secondly, in Chris’ absence, to introduce this week’s song which is inspired by the rain slowly washing our snow away, I will be talking to myself. Read the rest of this entry »
Ok, this was rushed and is sloppy. The song was written Wednesday and recorded Thursday night. At 1 a.m. Thursday night/Friday morning, we were too lazy to write a blog post, so we shot a video blog instead. Then we didn’t sleep, because we needed to upload the video and post it this morning. And now it’s morning and the words and the brain aren’t working so um, here. Read the rest of this entry »
Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, and on, and on, and on. Friends, the world is changing before our eyes, before our tweets, before our Facebook statuses! This week’s song is a humble dedication. A minuscule, detached and nearly insignificant voice in the real movement that is going on all around us: people are dying, and people are truly living. Our hats are tipped through song.

Ok you monsters. You think our last two songs have been too sad? Too slow? You say you want a “happy song?” You want us to pick up the tempo a little bit? Are you sure that’s what you want? I mean are you really sure? Because you know what they say about being careful what you wish for, and, well, we sure went for it this week. Just like that. Read the rest of this entry »
As you’ve likely heard by now, Valentine’s Day is on Monday. The song we’re releasing today, “I love you two,†is our very first seasonal song, an effort to release a piece of music that’s appropriate for what week it is. At the same time, we didn’t want to be too boring (and we emphasize the “too†so that you’re all clear we know the correct spelling of to, too and two) so we present our attempt at, yes, a polygamist’s love song.

Hey, have you guys seen the movie Crazy Heart? No? Great! Here’s a song that sounds nothing like every song in the movie Crazy Heart! Read the rest of this entry »
If you are at all familiar with previous Steve and Chris releases (including the first three 52 song project songs), you know Chris tends to write pop songs, Steve veers to love songs. So in the spirit of the New Year in the world, a new Environment Minister here in Canada and a new zodiac sign throughout this galaxy, queue a new genre for 52 song project: hate songs.

Yes folks, we’re at song number three already. (Isn’t it fun to have something to look forward to on Fridays? Before this project, did anyone ever even enjoy Fridays?) This week, an emo-inspired power-chorus rock song with some massive percussion and, lyrically, a Vertical Horizon type of twist ending. Some more of our comments, the lyrics, and the credits after the player. Read the rest of this entry »
We’re extremely pleased with the response to our first release After the fall and are excited to share song number two with you, a mellow melody called Surf. Featuring chilled-out rhythm guitar, a xylophone solo, synth cello and exemplary backing vocals, we transport you to a beach, the sea and sitting around a campfire with the people you love.
