This is the first post of a series of posts regarding the stories behind the songs within the Inmyths sessions.

Jagermeister

This song was made to participate in the UK's Jagermeister music contest. Back in 2006 the well known drink brand was looking for a new hymn, something fresh and attractive that revealed the drink spirit, blablabla...

I was living in Southampton in those days, (that's how i knew about the contest) and I gathered a couple of friends in order to make the so called hymn.

Mytho and I got together to discuss some ideas (he actually went all the way from Portugal to visit me for xtmas), I already had a guitar riff, and we worked on the lyrics and vocals.

We wanted something with groove and energy, so we thought to put more than one voice and give it a kind of hip-hop style.

But still something was missing...

I soon invited Geoff, that had been in a covers band (Van Allen, AC/DC...), to bring his talent to the piece. It was great, he liked the idea and we recorded some vocal takes at his place.

You may listen to the song here  or visit the music page .

Notice the first vocals are Geoff's and on the second part of the song it's me and Mytho.

The contest

Well...we didn't win, that wasn't the intention, although it would be nice to win the prize (about £5000 i think!... in music instruments and to be able to record the song in a professional studio), but the point is that it was fun to work with my friends and make some music.

We had the best song for sure but the winners were these guys: pickleddick
