@TheMirrorNoir he is! i'd better explain, though: he wrote the music for our band, and he gave us a recording of it where he just kind of mumble-sang something, i think to illustrate how he intended the lyrics to "go."
a lot of it was hard to understand, though, so i and our friend mark sat down and listened again, and we wrote down what we THOUGHT it sounded like will was singing. like picking shapes out of clouds! it would've been better if we had actually let will do all the songwriting.
@jennx oh wow! so if i'm understanding this correctly, he wrote the music for the song itself and he wrote the lyrics, but since he mumbled it, you guys couldn't understand the lyrics 100% and guessed on what he said? ha, that's awesome! :D the song's great, by the way!
ha, anyone else notice Will Butler(from arcade fire) in the background? (he was the one that shot the gun and whatnot... XD)
