I usually don’t do “Song Stories” posts for songs that I haven’t released yet, but I wanted to give a little preview of some music that’s coming soon.
Last year I was visiting my parents in Indiana, USA. The trip is usually a good chance to catch up and often I binge on cable television. There was a special on TV by Ripley’s Believe it or Not or something like that. The story was about the world’s tallest man. He’s not the guy in China anymore. Bao Xishun had that recognition for years, but recently, a gentlemen named Leonid Stadnyk was discovered in the Ukraine who stands an impressive 8 feet, 5 inches tall. That’s about 5 inches taller than most home ceilings.
The story explained that Bao received a lot of recognition when he was named tallest living man several years back. Consequently, he decided to use his fame to help find a wife. After sending marriage advertisements around the world, he took a bride from his hometown in China.
Fast forward to Mr. Stadnyk. In the TV show I was watching, they said that Leonid (unmarried at the time) was quite camera-shy and didn’t want any attention. But, for some reason, he decided to finally agree to an interview. I imagined that maybe Leonid has gotten lonely and maybe he felt like granting an interview might improve his odds of finding a companion.
I don’t want to be the subject of your TV show
A spectacle for all to see
But if by chance my one true love is watching now
She should know where to find me
The song is pretty upbeat and I’m really excited about the rough tracks we’ve put together in the studio recently. I’ll share a sneak preview when I’m able. I’m still planning to try to release my CD this winter. More details to come!
