Apparently my song "Forget You" was the most downloaded song of 2007 on Broadjam. This is pretty amazing and strange to me for a few reasons:
1.) Broadjam is a gigantic site with tens of thousands of musicians featured.
2.) There was a lot of good music in 2007.
3.) The song "Forget You" was just a demo that I never intended to release, recorded only as a tool for another recording artist (my sister) to learn the song. But my demo was featured on "The Black Donnellys" on NBC, and all of a sudden people just started downloading it and never stopped. I have recorded a brand new version of it with a string quartet for my upcoming album.
As Chuck Lee Bramlet said about songwriting, "You never know which one of your bastard children is going to wander out into the world and make something of itself."
Too true.

ReplyDeleteLynette: I actually had several songs placed on The Black Donnellys. "Forget You" and "In My Dream" were both in episode two. "Gone to Pieces," "I Won't Sleep Tonight" and "Dear Me" were featured in various episodes as well.
Ami: "Forget You" is still available for download at www.broadjam.com/mikeschmid for 99 cents. And the new version will be on my upcoming album, out this spring.
