Painted (for the movie PAINT) © 2006 Gerry Davenport

Written exclusively for our short movie "Paint," I knew I wanted something edgy and different from what I have normally done — the trouble with that is it was written and recorded almost two weeks away from our planned premiere for the movie, since I could not or did not like what I came up before lensing and during editing.   It would have been nice to have it finished so we could have lensed a music video while we were doing the movie, but we may not have finished the movie if we did.

I am pleased with the song; it is simple yet complicated in its presentation — I do not get bored of it.  Aria was to sing it, and play specific guitar parts on it, but he opted for me to sing, but he did play guitar on it.

The majority of the bass track is me, since Connor was having difficulty getting it down and I was impatient about getting it finished, so I asked to show him, of course I recorded it, but I did mess up, I just used the parts he did not mess up over my parts I did mess up, it worked out well.

Running through the woods.
Hidden amongst the trees.
If you can find me that's where I'll be,

I hear you breathing, your heart beating from the fear.
I hear you breathing, I can tell that you are near.

Hit me if you can.
Surviving against the odds,
If you get closer I'll light you up!

I hear you breathing, your heart beating from the fear.
I hear you breathing, I can tell that you are near.

You taught me well to play this game.
I'm getting good at taking aim.
You're in my sites, you're painted!
