everysongiveverwritten Every Song I've Ever Written Montreal From 1985 to 2004 Jacob Wren wrote songs. Lots and lots of songs. Then he completely stopped. At the time not very many people heard them. Every Song I’ve Ever Written is a project about memory, history, things that may or may not exist, songwriting, the internet and pop culture. Here and on our website (www.everysongiveeverwritten.com) you can listen to, and download, these songs. In a way, because hardly anyone heard them, these songs don’t yet exist. If you are reading this, we would like you to consider recording your own version of one of these songs, changing it, making it your own, then sending it to us. We will post every version we receive. There will also be performances and events. Karaoke nights will allow anyone to sing the songs Karaoke-style, with Jacob playing guitar behind them. Solo performances will feature Jacob performing all of the songs in chronological order (it takes about five hours.) Band Nights will feature a series of local bands in different cities (Düsseldorf, Mannheim, Stockholm, Malmö, etc.) performing one of Jacob’s songs each. After each version, Jacob will interview the band about what it was like to cover the song, and the band will interview Jacob about what it was like to write it. We are not doing this because we think these are the best songs ever (we hope at least a few of them are good.) We are doing this because hardly anyone heard them at the time, and we are wondering if there is some new, strange way to bring them out into the world. In doing so we hope to raise a few questions about what songs mean on the internet, about what songwriting is actually like today, and also take a sidelong glance back at the recent past. everysongiveverwritten’s tracks Soft Target by Barbara Browning by everysongiveverwritten published on 2017-12-25T19:53:31Z Everybody Settles by Adam Kinner by everysongiveverwritten published on 2016-10-27T14:29:52Z Salvation by The Alicka Problem by everysongiveverwritten published on 2016-09-13T23:18:13Z World Stage Scholars-in-Residence Matt, Julia and Denise discuss Literature by everysongiveverwritten published on 2016-05-26T18:15:16Z Party Song (circa 1998)by Annie McCall by everysongiveverwritten published on 2016-04-06T17:19:12Z Polyester by FRAGIL by everysongiveverwritten published on 2014-10-17T18:40:17Z The Broken Throat by Tiiu Helinä, Kap Kap, Tundramatics, Kanerva and Samuli Putro by everysongiveverwritten published on 2014-02-06T19:44:27Z The Place And Time (in Finnish) by Samuli Putro by everysongiveverwritten published on 2014-02-06T19:37:11Z Theatre Director by Tundramatiks by everysongiveverwritten published on 2014-02-06T19:31:13Z Of Course by Kanerva by everysongiveverwritten published on 2014-02-06T19:27:03Z
