My dad plays the guitar, Uncle Tim played piano (he's learned guitar since then), and uncle Joe played the drums. (I don't think Uncle Joe was in the band, He was the oldest and was probably to busy). Well, they had this friend that could sing and they started a band called The Ones That Got Away. TOTGA. You'll never find it on the internet, sorry.
They made six tracts and sent it in to a bunch of different people. They even got an article in a national magazine about them! I CANT BELIEVE I DIDN'T KNOW THIS!
Uncle Tim showed us some of the music. Its intense eighties music but not bad for back then. My dad is mostly background guitar and singing background, but he's in there. Uncle Tim wrote the music and lyrics and put it all together and everything.
So, I have them on my iPod now and I cant stop listening to them. (As my dad's and his brother's band I owe them my allegiance).
A is for murder:
"One child lives, a million more die
A is for murder, I ask myself why, they die.
I almost cried, you know it makes me want to cry."
Pretty strong stuff.
The best one prolly is "Tear it up" Yeah, I'm totally going to brag on them forever now.
Me "Did your dad have a band with your uncle?did they get in a national magazine?did they almost get a record deal?do you have them on your iPod?!" *Proud*
So, now that your thoroughly jealous here's something to lighten up your day!
From now on before you have a poptart you will think of this.
I feel like I've had an extreme sugar rush when I hear this. Seriously it feels like I've had a redbull. Maybe cause my mind is trying to keep up with the song. *Jittery*
