Dogfights on the Moon by Ben Chilcote

I attempted to create this song in real time while capturing it on video.  It didn’t work out as I hoped as the song was VERY hard to write.  But you can watch the song and then the “Making of” video below for insight to my creative process.

The song is a little darker than I usually do but the thematic elements of the song influenced that.  I am really happy with the chorus but the verses were really thrown together at the last minute in order to get the song completed.   Enjoy! Comment! Share!

He was the main guy from that band.  This is a video of him performing his song, She Held My Hand.  I’ve really come to love his music.
