Thanks to Abe Hefter and producer Sarah Deshaies for having us on CJAD 800 AM in Montreal to talk about 52 song project. Here&#8217;s the audio of the interview, which took place the evening of December 30, 2011 right after they played our last song, It&#8217;s over, the end.

CJAD Montreal interview about 52 song project

Friends, thanks for sticking with us throughout this journey. It&#8217;s been a long time since this stupid crazy thing began, and we&#8217;ve had a lot of fun. But all good things must come to an end, and this is the last 52 song project song. We hope you like it. Song Discussion CHRIS: Steve and [&#8230;]

Song 52: It’s over, the end

Well, it&#8217;s officially Christmas Eve Day, and I know I am late. I have battled with this song for the past 40 hours. I have complained before about technology, so I will bite my tongue now. The good news? I think I won this battle. I may even have won the war. Listen. Song Discussion [&#8230;]

Song 51: In an instant

Last week, Steve sang about Christmas. This week, Chris sings about advent. Sorry folks, there&#8217;s no escape. Also, in a 52 song project first, this week&#8217;s recording is taken from a live performance. We hope you enjoy it. Song Discussion CHRIS: If you ever wonder how long we spend per song (or even if you [&#8230;]

Song 50: Advent song (live)

Tonight&#8217;s song started out with a talk with a good friend of mine. We talked about greed, love, the demise of humans&#8230; you know, the usual stuff. Being a spiritual man, my friend then proceeded to touch upon Christmas. I talked about life being a collection of human relations, and he reminded me of all [&#8230;]

Song 49: Tom’s Christmas

Sit down at your piano without any ideas. Start with Bennie and the Jets (or this Ben Folds song, doesn&#8217;t matter either way), then, casually glance at a tweet that places the hint of The Simpsons&#8217; fake Michael Jackson &#8220;Lisa it&#8217;s your birthday&#8221; song in your head. Make up words that kinda hopefully sound cool [&#8230;]

Song 48: That’s what they say

The last song that Steve wrote was very, very much out of the element of the 52sp. With little to no feedback on it, Steve has assumed that he should stick to the campfire songs. With a new recording rig, a new software setup and an urge to move to a warm country, here is [&#8230;]

Song 47: Tell me that you will do

Imagine a big musical number. Now remove all of the instruments and professional singers, keeping only a piano and Chris. Now make sure that the piano playing is sloppy and that Chris has a sore throat, and that he started recording this with no idea where it was going, and was slightly drunk. Ok, go: [&#8230;]

Song 46: Too late to celebrate

For starters, we didn&#8217;t forget about the song, or release it late by accident. There is only one day, ever, that we can release a song at 11:11am on 11/11/11, and so I did it. Steve here. I am trying to make a new exclamation popular. If you are describing something very excitedly, say, &#8220;Sweet [&#8230;]

Song 45: Party on Mars

This, our 9th last song (!!), is probably best described as a cross between Apples in Stereo and Foo Fighters (or maybe just Dave without the band). Let&#8217;s get to it. Song Discussion CHRIS: Today, I will be brief with the text bits. Awhile back our friend Gordon requested a &#8220;Chris piano song,&#8221; and this [&#8230;]

Song 44: I die

Two song writers challenge themselves to record and share a new original song every week for one year.
