Coincidences. They are interesting things. I am a believer in two forces which are oft described as opposites, but opposites, when tempered, can work incredibly well together. I am a believer in fate or destiny, and also a believer in working hard to get to where you believe you should be going.
So, back to coincidences. I wrote a song in the spring of 2008 called 'The Proposal' and posted a music video to it shortly after. Fast forward to June 1st 2009 and the Hollywood premiere of the film 'The Proposal'. Prior to the release of the film I had only 1,380 views on YouTube. Post release? 10,893. Now, this doesn't exactly warrant the title of a viral hit, but it's a start.
Another coincidence. I recently discovered a wonderful band based of LA called 'The Rescues'. They are a quartet composed of four very talented songwriters, three of which attended Berklee College of Music. One of them is called Rob Giles. I look forward to seeing where this is going.
Perhaps I should write a song called 'Avatar', or 'Eclipse' or 'Shrek: The Final Chapter 3D'. Ok, the last one, no. But I am tempted to start a social experiment. Time to begin.
