This song is called GAMEPLAN!

A song I wrote with Misung aka Dave Stevenson.
I emailed him the instrumental rough heard below and he sang over it.

Here is the demo

Then I re-recorded everything and sang it in a more exciting key.  Here is a rough mix by me:

Misung and I have been friends since I was about 14. The first time we sat down together and wrote something was a very strange experience to me at that age. He got out a tape recorder and a guitar and said, come on lets write a song. No paper, no pen, just make!

He is one of the most prolific people I know. Thanks Dave for writing this with me! More to come!

The New Misung album “Too Hard to Paddle Through” and the New Paper Fleet EP “Baby, We Love Each” are now on itunes. Below are a couple screen captures. CLICK HERE for the Misung Album on Itunes. CLICK HERE for the Paper Fleet album. But of course, if you buy the Paper Fleet EP on vinyl from the ottomen records store, We’ll send you the mp3s free!

THE GAMEPLAN

This song was written half by me then the rest by Misung.

I originally wrote it in a key he could sing, then jacked it up played and then recorded all the instruments by myself.

We does did pretty good job on this.

It was intended for KONAMI, but they changed their mind last minute and requested an instrumental instead of an upbeat song about sports.

Now it exists….here.

It will have to go on a Justin and the misungs album.
