Wesley Verhoeve

Sharing a little behind-the-scenes stuff here. Watch below Casey Shea‘ latest video episode and great new topical song ‘Everybody’s Getting Bailed Out (Except For Me)’. Then read the IM session that inspired the process.

December 12 3:37 PM
wes: maybe you should write a song called the bail out, with all this stuff going down right now.
casey: ha, good call. lets see. brb…
4:05 PM
wes: i hope you’re onto the second verse
casey: is sending bail out.mp3
4:10 PM
casey: its not much of anything…probably will keep working on it.
4:15 PM
wes: ha that’s fast, nice!…listening….i really like it haha, very funny, maybe it could be a two-parter where it ends like that and then it segues into the second part of the song, a casey shea style beatles-y 30 seconds with layered background vocals and harmonies and different chords singing something along the lines of “but it’s alright coz i’ve got you”
casey: yeah! i like that.
4:25 PM
wes:haha this is a nice time document of this process, out conversation and it has time stamps. we talked about the idea at 3.37 and you sent an mp3 back 4.05! crazy
casey: no time to waste…….something like this too….is sending cause i got you.m4a
4:30 PM
wes: yea exactly. awesome.
4:40 PM
casey: or maybe all bluesy…is sending bailout-2.m4a…nah, I’m gonna go with the two parter.
wes: love it!
