Rise and Shine : Songs

Some great comments back from Ben Walker’s songwriting session, this very cool article by Ian Shepherd and this beautiful image from Derek O’Brien.

From @timbearcub – “he is really good – very funny & didn’t look flustered while thinking through the song & responding to comments which is hard”

from @onlinemeetings – “that was great fun couldnt stay as long as i wanted just listening to magma lady ”

from @JanVanMol – “great stuff at http://riseandshine.tv, you’re right. Best wishes from Africa.”

from @musicnotes – “How cool is this? Live Christmas music songwriting on a channel dedicated to songwriters!”

from @lolololori – “actually http://www.mogulus.com/rise… is better for participating in live songwriting of icelandic christmas song – I’m mesmerized.”

from @randellfever – “i just named a new drink the ‘magma lady’ it’s vodka and bright orange flavored water”

We’re looking forward to greeting the fabulous Ben Walker from I Hate Mornings for tomorrow’s Rise and Shine.

Here he is singing his famous Twitter song.

Don’t forget to show up and help him out.

It’s our final morning of this pilot series… we’re already feeling a heady mixture of euphoria and and anticipation. We announce the winner of the video competitio, we gasp at our accomplishments and we bask in the warm glow of making the news ourselves.

Morning has broken, like the fifteenth morning… after forty two hours of songwriting, we’re still up with the lark and scanning the news for headlines. What will today’s song be?

Nice to see that we’re receiving the first entries for our video competition.

Many thanks to Virginie and Otir for translating the lyrics for Sexy Underwear completely into French. Now we just have to sing a version in that beautiful language.
