| THE MANY SHADES OF JORGE GONZALEZ ARTWORK NOTES & COMMENTARY |

| "Cold December" The song is called, “Cold December” and is a part of Juan "JC" Garcia's lyrical album, “Art of Deception”. “Cold December” includes two verses written by me, as well as lyrics of his own. You can check it out over at his SheezyART page here. Notes & Commentary on “Cold December” While, the song was debuted in late November 2005, my verses had been done since late September 2005. (September 21st, to be exact.) We had both wanted to collaborate on a song/poem since early that month, but I think both of us didn’t know the direction to take it too. He was going through some of his own personal battles at the moment, and I to had been doing my own thing. Putting our thoughts and lyrics together was going to be rather difficult, since I believe we both had two totally different ideas; and we weren’t sure exactly what would come out of it. Needless to say, I felt my portions of the lyrics were some what unfinished, but I didn’t know what else to do? Should my verses be longer? Shorter, even? I had to be content with what I had written. JC has this amazing talent of writing some really great, catchy, and amazing rock songs and ballads. When he first pitched the idea to me, I was already intimidated. For those of you kiddos who keep up with his work, it’s really hard trying to top anything that he writes. You read his songs, and automatically you can hear it in your head. You can picture the guitars, the vocals, the emotion and the overall energy. Personally, I felt my parts were doomed from the start. There was no way I could have held my own against his writing. But, with that said I tried my best. The final outcome of the song, I feel is fantastic. He took his time on it, and it looks like he really tried to work hard with what I had written. (I guess you can say, I sort of limited him to a few things.) In the end, he took an interesting direction with “Cold December”. I don’t believe either one of us saw the finished product like this back in September. The song gives off this Linkin Park type of vibe, and it works really well. His rhyming, choice of words, and over all flow is extraordinary. The completed product reminds me of songs like “I’ve Seen It All” by Bjork & Thom Yorke, and to some freaky extent, “Guilty Concisions” by Eminem & Dr. Dre. I don’t know why, but it does. Ha ha. All in all, the song shaped up rather well. It’s great to see what he did with what I had written. As I said, I don’t think he nor I would have ever thought the song would have sounded this way. I really think you all should check it out if you are interested. It’s good to be a part of something great. |
