Pandora Here I come

So im pretty stoked about this. I’ve been shopping my music around a bit and one place i just got accepted into is pandora.com!!! I love this place. I alway sit down to work and turn on my pandora. If you dont know what it is get one. Its an online radio station that you build yourself. Like i have a station that plays Coldplay type tunes. Thats right “type” and coldplay tunes. It gages what you like and plays new music and music you might know based on your rating of songs. So for example, you’ll be listening then a song will come on that you might not like, all you do is give it a thumbs down and pandora says “sorry, we wont play that song again” then they try a different song. If you give songs thumbs up it helps pandora gage the style of music you like.

Thats what pandora.com is. Pretty sweet. I’ve been listening for about 4 years now.

So now my friends you will be finding Cubworld on there soon. I got excepted and will be mailing them my CD tomorrow. So once its on there it would be cool if you add me to your stations. Maybe through Cubworld in with your Coldplay station :). Just another way to get my music in more ears. I’m pretty stoked about the news. Tell ya more about it laters.

This is my tribute to Michael Jackson who will always be a legend to me. I wanted to be like mike when i was a kid growing up in Tonga. In my mind those days were perfect so when i think or hear Mikes music i think of the best times in my life as a kid. I’ve never felt this way before about a musicians passing before. As i learnt this tribute song i found my sell getting real emotional over his lyrics and noticed that in a lot of his music it talks about the same things i like to talk about mainly CHANGE and LOVE! I in no way am on the same level with Mike but i have deep respect for his music and the way he could move a crowd with such positive music.

Mike you will be missed and thank you so much for inspiring generations of music.

and I love the way you dance

If you want a copy of the song please feel free to email me at cubworldmusic@gmail.com

For any haters reading this I know Mike at times may have been a bit crazy but you have to weigh the good with the bad and I kid you not that Mike has done more good for this world then bad. If you dont believe me please watch all of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU5GfCsb9gA

LYRICS

I’m Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It’s Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right …

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin’ My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer’s Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man’s Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya’ Know
‘Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That’s Why I Want You To
Know

I’m Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I’m Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change

I’ve Been A Victim Of A Selfish
Kind Of Love
It’s Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No Home,
Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me,
Pretending That They’re Not
Alone?

A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody’s Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya’ See
Cause They Got No Place
To Be
That’s Why I’m Starting With
Me

For the two people that are following my blog here is a sneak peek at Kanyes West Heartless Cover. This was a tuff song to get through. This is pretty much live. I set up my mic and hit record. The auto tune effect picked up my guitar and did some funny things with it but this take came out pretty good so i thought i’d just post it as is.


I’m a big Kanye West fan. I love all of his tracks. I’ve done many a road trips listening to hours of Kanye. Thanks for my drummer gabe he hooked my ipod up with every living thing Kanyes ever done and more. Yup hard to believe but i have “and more” hahaha.


Hope you dig my take on this song.Thanks for listening.

I Found Love is a song about finding love in yourself before you can love someone else. I thought this was a very important truth. To many relationships get ruined over selfishness and about thinking about number one. Love is about 2 :) or in my case with my kids 5. Not 5 kids haha. But my wife, myself, and my babies :).


When i wrote this song i thought it had a travel type feeling. Backpacking type of swing to it. I wanted to write about two people moving around the world and finding each other but it quickly turned into this track instead.

so i hope you enjoy this Dr. Phil type track and find love in yourself before you go and mess up your next relationship LOL.
