A Song I Wrote Was Gonna Be in a Movie But Now It’s Not So You Can Hear It Now I Guess

Earlier this year, I was asked if one of my original songs, “Selfless,” could be used in a film being produced that a friend of mine is involved in. I was delighted, and I recorded a fresh version that I thought sounded a little stronger than the 2004 original. 

Then a few weeks ago I was told they decided that actually they weren’t going to use it. That kind of sucked. 

But it also means that I can now post it here and share it with you. So here’s “Selfless 2013.”

The 2004 original from my album Paul is Making Me Nervous can be heard here, and a couple years back, my friend Rin Barton covered the song very beautifully, and that’s here.
