Wow it seems so long since i’ve done an original Original Wednesday. I checked my video session catalog (which is nearing 100 by the way) and the last true original song I have brought you (read: a song that I have written) was actually on July 15. That is OVER TWO MONTHS! I couldn’t let it go on any longer!
So i’m digging one up for the sessions today. Finally, not only an original tune, but a PREMIERE, never before seen or heard, Jeff Copperthite original.
All my fans and my sessionmates are familiar with my playing style. I feel this song is somewhat of a deviation. The guitar part I play to this song is probably among the more creative ones I have recently conceived. The lyrics – well, remember I am a happily married guy, but that doesn’t mean someone can’t tell a story that isn’t personal to the writer. Plus, it fits the “spirit” of the guitar part quite well.
Perhaps this song will make it to the recording studio next year for another album. I’ve felt the writing itch for a couple months now. Scott & I are going to be getting together in the near future to do some jamming as well. Perhaps a new Quilt EP or album is not that far in the future. And everyone that knows both of us know, that he’ll blow me out of the water on the guitar.
My viewcount has reached 42K, and I have three new requests to work on for my upcoming sessions, but now back to your regularly scheduled “New Bands 2.0″ week. I’ll be back Saturday covering a band that has already made me say “Holy crap why did I pick this band?” – not because they don’t sound good, but because they sound incredible, and covering them will be a tall order. I’m up to it, however.
And tomorrow, Jim will be back with another new band (feel free to register it under the “Thumpin’ Thursday™” tag Jim), and Chris will be back to satiate our eyes and ears with another new band.
I hope you enjoyed this edition of Original Wednesday!

Jeff- great song and worth addition to the upcoming “Yellow Light” album. Actually, maybe you could just sell the album exclusively at K-Mart stores and call it the “Blue Light” special!
Either way, it’s great to hear new material from you. I enjoyed the chord progression and the tune.
