Singled Out: J.R. Richards (Dishwalla) Pt V |
A friend of mine Mark Thompson, (who is Mark from the Mark & Brian show) had contacted me and asked if I would be interested in writing a song for a movie he wrote and would soon be filming. A horror/thriller called "2:13".
I have really enjoyed writing for movies in the past and ask how soon he could get a copy of the script to me. Once I had it I decided to write a song from the killers perspective.......... It was a great excuse to write something a little more twisted than I would normally write. The song "I Will Give You Life" ended up being the end title theme for the movie and is a slightly different version from the one that appears on " A Beautiful End".
Learn more about J.R., his new album, find out where he's playing, and preview tracks from the new CD (and order a physical copy of the CD)
