The Birthday Song!  Yay!

Originally this song was recorded to perform at Wilson’s Sweet Sixteen birthday party.  Sorry for the late post, it’s been a pretty hectic semester here at Texas State.  Grad School is rough, but I’m making it.  Anyway, this song was recorded at Juniors house in Grand Prarie.  Derek and I had a GREAT time finding our way over there with the GPS!  haha!  We even stoped at KRYSTAL’S to get some of those cute little tiny burgers.  Good times!  I had   fun recording in Junior’s closet/studio!  ;)  And the end was the best part to record.  Hope you liked it Wilson!  This one’s for you.

"Picture Perfect" was recorded in a few different sessions, actually.  Towards the end of the spring semester Junior started getting busy with all of his engineering classes, Derek with all of his classes, and me with graduation, so even though we have alot of songs to record, we didn't have alot of time to record them.  So we recorded this song one verse at a time.  We had a couple of guests join us depending on the night and had alot of fun each time we had a recording session.  We finished recording in the last week of classes, but we had final exams, moving out of moore hill and graduation to worry about so we didn't get it mixed until now. It's kinda sad that we're out of Moore Hill for the summer.  I'm gonna miss it!  I really like this song because I feel like Derek really wrote it for me.  Even though I don't write the lyrics to these songs, I feel like this one is the one that really sounds like what I would write.  Listen to "Picture Perfect" and let me know what you think!  ;)

Another fun recording with the boys!  This time we were acting so silly.  Andrew kept gettin in my face so I had to show him what was up!  Junior was just doin his thing.  Derek fell asleep while we were recording and we made fun of him.  He was tired and had to walk all the way to Duren afterwards, so I felt bad for singing really loud in his face while he was getting his nap on.  Sorry Derek!  Beauty Personified goes out to all the lovers on Valentine's Day!  Have a good one!  Listen to Beauty Personified and let me know what you think!  *CheRie*

We recorded "Holdin Back" on two separate dates.  The guys did their part on Thursday December 7th and then I finished with my part on December 10th.  We had alot of fun recording this one. It was just funny.  I kept eating crackers and running to the restroom because I was drinking too much water.  Junior and Derek were dancing 80's style.  Andrew was making random comments as usual.  And every once and a while we'd pause to watch Mariah or Ciarra on late night BET.  I was on-call again so I'm lucky nothing much went down at Moore Hill that night.  This song was made to be the last song on our album.  It fits perfectly there.  It's definitely a clubin song!  Let me know what you think of "Holdin Back."  ;)

"Written" was recorded on Friday November 10th in Moore Hill Dormatory "Studio 326" while I was on-call for my RA job.  Being on call means that I have to stay in the building for 24 hours in case something were to happen.  So you could say I used my "in the building" time wisely.  We recorded for a few hours.  This time we felt more comfortable recording since it was our fourth time.  It was alot more fun!  After we recorded we all went over to Wendy's in Jester to eat and have a good time!  Listen to "Written" and let me know what you think.  Enjoy!

P.S.  Here's a video of me singing "Written" at Texas Latin Dance's Global meltdown!  It was the first time I sang it live on stage...

"Could This Be Love"  is the third song to be recorded by Royal Flush and I.  This song had a more somber tone, so we couldn't play around as much.  I like this song because it sends a good message to those getting out of an abusive relationship.  In my own words I call it a VAV song.  I'm a member of Voices Against Violence peer theater group here on the UT campus and we use the term VAV to describe anything that relates to the work that we do weather its in good or bad way.  I feel like this song is depressing, but it has a good message at the end.  Listen to "Could this be Love" and tell me what you think.
