Meg Ryan - My "CC"

It was early in my high school career that I discovered my celebrity crush. I don’t know if it was the blonde hair, quirky style or happy endings, but by the time “Over the Rainbow” started playing and Tom Hanks’ dog runs up to meet Meg Ryan in the park, I knew it was meant to be (You’ve Got Mail).

Proof of my celebrity crush can be found in this very early version of the song I recorded in high school.

*cringe* I’m proud of you if you can make it through the whole thing. Now please, don’t judge. It’s not easy airing out the ole’ music closet.

As you can tell with the new version of the song, I decided to re-write the whole thing. It took me one day to write 90% of the new song. It also took me about 1 day to record (just for reference, between recording instruments, vocals and mixing the music, some songs can take weeks in my laundry room studio).

It’s definitely one of my simpler recordings, but I like it that way. It uses a slow build with minimal instruments. If you don’t count anything twice, I use roughly 17 Meg Ryan movie titles or references during the song.

I hope you enjoy the song as much as I’ve enjoyed my CC. Don’t forget to click the comment link below and let me know what you think!
