The Things They Carry by Matt Peaslee

This is a new song I recently finished and finally got a chance to record. My first original in a while, buy I had a chance to record in the practice rooms on campus so the audio turned out pretty neat. I used my Flip Myno HD for both audio and video. I hope you guys like it. It is very different than my past songs.

I recently read Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried", which is what inspired the song. If you have read the book, things should relate. Enjoy!

Heck yes. Especially now that I discovered the soundproof rooms at Leach Theatre.

Awesome! I made my roommate listen to it too; she was impressed as well.

I haven't listened to it yet. I have to be in the right state of mind, so I don't cry again! This song is that great. And if I can figure out a good place in the ceremony to sing, I definitely want you to sing at my wedding. :o)

Good song bud. All I can think of is Kas crying at PH. We might have you play at the wedding with the Glenn's
