Song No. 1: Skywalker -- Orange & Gray

Storytellers is a great thing I’ve always loved watching on VH1, hearing stories about songs and why they were written. Well, I don’t write songs. Can’t write songs. I figured if I’m going to go write Storytellers, I’m going to write about songs, stories and other things I like, and say what they mean to me.

So, the first song in the Storytellers is a song that I discovered in 2008, thanks to my friend Nathan Viloria, who introduced me to this awesome band Skywalker from Oxnard, Calif. Too bad the band isn’t still together, but that’s another thing, this song “Orange and Gray,” is actually my ringtone on my phone — the non-acoustic version.

The song is about the city of Los Angeles, but I think it can apply to any major city. When I hear this song, I think of the sky at the sunset and I see those colors  in the sky.  I hear this song and I think of everything about Las Vegas. Lines in the song can relate to situations in my life. It’s one of those things, where I don’t like talking about them other than I grew up from those situations and moved on from them.

My favorite line from the song? “Some many words to say, to describe the colors orange and gray.” Orange and gray also happen to be two of my favorite colors.

I guess what I’m trying to say is  I miss Vegas.

That’s what I got for now. Not what I expected, but I hope it provides something better than what I’ve been posting.
