You're By My Side [31 Jan 2006|11:54pm] [ mood | chipper ] I promised something cool in Monday's Angel Moxie Rant, and now I'm making good on that promise. As evident in my other comic escapades, I certainly enjoy creating completely unecessary theme songs. I mean, it's a comic. Why have music? Good question. I have no idea. Well, for all the years Angel Moxie has been in existence, I've never gotten around to producing a proper theme song. Until now. I proudly give you the Angel Moxie theme song... You're By My Side Music by Dan Hess Lyrics by Eric King with Beau Alquizola Performed by Beau Alquizola This has been a long time in the making. Many years ago, I asked my buddy Eric if he would want to write some lyrics for some AM music. He gave me some spiffy poetry, which I soon after lost. Meanwhile, I composed some music and filed it away. Well, time passes and I pull out the music again. I add a melody. And file it away again. Then, when the end of the Moxie became apparent, I decided that it was now or never. I grabbed Eric again and sent him the music I had done and asked for some lyrics. He gave me lyrics and self doubt. I also made a call to my favoritest musician friend Beau and asked if he could sing it, which thankfully he agreed. A few hours in the studio writing and composing, some recording time and an evening of mixing later, and we have a song! It sums up AM pretty well - it's cute, sweet, a bit tongue-in-cheek, and is all about friendship standing up to evil. And it works well as a closing-credit montage to accompany the epilogue images. So, enjoy. And make sure you check out Beau's website. His own music is hundreds of times better than this silly lil' ditty. 23 comments|post comment
