Hey guys, so we've been trying to figure out a few ways to branch out in Georgia a little more. 

Here's the plan

We are starting a street team, and before we go spreading the word all over the U.S. and the world, we are goimg to start here at home (The good ole' state of Georgia). We will be looking for TWENTY very dedicated and dependable people (We are too poor to pay you right now) from various places different areas around Georgia. These people would be doing things like promoting for shows, new merchandise, contests, cds, promoting us in general, and basically helping us reach more people in more places.

Here's the plan within the plan...you know...the sub plan

Below you will find a small application based on what we need in the five people who want the five spots. Simply fill one out, copy and paste it, and post it in this blog.

1) Name

2) Age

3) Where in Georgia do you live? (just the city/town)

4) Are you in school?, if so, where?

5) Can you drive?

6) How much free time do you have each week?

7) Have you ever been in/worked with a band before? If so, what did you do?

8) something freakin awesome about you?

9) why do you think you think you are best suited for this job?

tell us as much as you can, and we'll make our decision from there

we want people who really want to help us out

and of course, we'll help you as well!

IF WE LIKE WHAT WE SEE, THEN YOU'LL BE GETTING A MESSAGE REAL SOON

have an awesome day!

"Best Shot"
I've got a fire burning in me 
and it leaves me stronger than I've ever felt before
I can't explain this state I'm in, 
The strength I feel is never gonna end

So wait, you think that you can stop me
Well then, come on right in and bring me what ya got

So come on, come on 
With Your Best Shot
Give me everything 
You've got its not enough
Come on, come on
Give it a try, 
I'm ready to take you with everything I've got

You think you know me
that you'll win me over 
And lure me into your darkness
Well I'm heading into a new direction
One that will settle with less than perfection



"That Pretty Girl"

Well everyone sees that pretty girl?
When she walks down the streets with those pretty curls
She feeds off all the attention she gets?
She never gets that much out of it?
?
Everyone tells here that she's beautiful?
It's never enough to convince herself?
She feels like she's not worth much at all?
And never gets why she's broken inside
Chorus:?
She's that pretty girl that everyone loves
She never gets why her life is broken
She's that pretty girl that everyone loves?
But there's no one right for her...

She puts on her make-up, trying to cover every imperfection to hide from the world
She's just so scared of being seen, but no one else would ever know

Bridge:??She feels... uglier... everyday she goes on?
needs... someone... to love her nooooooooooooooow...

Bridge 2:
I can see straight through you like a hole in the wall
and I'm not gonna sit back and watch you fall
Take my hand and come with me tonight
Cuz Ill be the one that treats you right



"Come Home"

I am surrounded by, a world that is different than I
It tries to lure me in to be another lost one?
I'm starting to decide, you can't live on both sides?
And still be a light to the rest of the world
But I'm gonna fight it, Oh I'm gonna fight it??

Chorus:
I wanna come home, I wanna come home
I need your grace to take me there

Verse 2:
My job here is not yet done, there's so much left to do?
And I'm just sitting back as the world passes by me?
I'm trying to become, the man you want me to be?
There's so much here that is trying to hold me back
But I'm gonna fight it, Oh I'm gonna fight it

Chorus x 2
Bridge:?
I'm falling down, so take me in?
Make me whole, again...
I am surrounded by, a love that will never die, and I'll never have to fight it



"Eve"

Driving away, from you again?
This time I swear that we're through

Pre-chorus:? ?
Its too many times, to brush it off?
We're running out of excuses?
I think its time to do, what I never though I could

Chorus:?
I'm sorry, I messed up. I did it again?
I know I promised, to stop it then.

Verse 2:?
We had a great time for a month or ten?
but then it got too much for me to deal with?
The hardest part was hurting the only one I love

Bridge:?
Look at where we are now, remember where we've been
I wonder where we're going, so should it be the end?

I knew it was time to do, what I never thought I could...





Before You Go On




This poster board is all I have

to remember what we were


You said you were so lucky,

to have me in your life


But I was the lucky one,

to spend those days with you


And looking back, I miss all

the things we used to do



Pre-chorus



But now I'm the sorry one,

who ended it all

And now you're moving on,

leaving me to fall



Chorus:



But before you go on,

will you give me one last chance



To turn around, and make things right

so I can be with you tonight


Verse 2:


Thank you for returning,

all of my things


I didn't want to take that box,

but I did so anyway


Well as for me I kept the memories

and notes you used to write


In hope that maybe one day,

we can make things right



Tonight...

Pre-chorus

But now I'm the sorry one, who ended it all
And now you're moving on, leaving me to fall



Chorus:

But before you go on, will you give me one last chance

To turn around, and make things right so I can be with you tonight



Bridge:



Well tonight I'm gonna go all in,

and risk everything


Cuz I've gotta know,

if you wanna be with me



But before you go on, will you give me one last chance

To turn around, and make things right so I can be with you tonight





more soon...

Hey! We're gonna do a Q&A every couple weeks. Post your questions here, DON'T send us a message or comment for this. Post them right here...

ready set go!

Rules: Nothing stupid, inappropriate, or that has already been asked. other than that, ask away!

So as we have been playing together for a while I do sometimes wonder if we should change the name from Ray Garrison to a band name. What do ya'll think? I mean after all, you guys are the ones we have to (and want to) impress!

If you got some ideas let us know! Who knows, maybe YOU could name our band. if that happened we'd totally give you credit.

anyways,

that is a piece of my mind. please respond with your ideas!

-ray

as we think of names, we'll continue to list them and you vote.


Right now we're thinking about going with The Media Says




here were some of the other names

Rollercoaster Headrush
Media Headrush
The Media Said So
The Summer Media
Media Rollercoaster
i like the word media...

If you are having any kind of party or get together and want a band to play this summer email raygarrisonmusic@mac.com and well discuss details. Especially if the party would be the first few weeks of July, than we'd be game!
