It’s a funny thing when someone tells you you were inspiring to them. It’s an odd feeling to be someone else’s inspiration. I don’t know any other that actually wakes up in the morning and says to themselves, I’m going to do something today that will inspire someone else. At least I don’t.

I’ve had people tell me that I’ve inspired them to be a better guitar player. I’m cool with that cause I’ve heard it more than once. But I don’t really envision myself as the kind of guitarist that writes inspiring guitar parts. I only do what I do. It’s great that people find what I do interesting or inspiring.

There is a new case of inspiration that has been presented at me. I have now become the source of inspiration for a song. I might have mentioned this the other day. However, it never really sunk in. Still not really sure what to make of it. I think it’s cool, but then part of me questions what the hell it was that I did to inspire the song. I guess I shouldn’t question it.

Which is probably what leads me to Lex Land.

At least the title to her song As Much As You Lead. People say I’m a born leader, yet somehow I’ve escaped a whole lot of leading. But then I suppose I’ve led thru example on somethings. Maybe that’s the kind of thing that inspires others.

Lex has a nice flow that meanders around a piano riff. Vocally she reminds me of a slightly less edgy Rachael Yamagata. I like the lilt in her voice. I like the pulse of the piano. I like how the track builds. It’s got a sultry vibe that isn’t over the top sultry. Ha, I read a little PR on her after typing that and it describes Lex as sultry as well. So I suppose it’s buried in the DNA of her voice and this song. Around 3:50 in the song there’s a very cool buildup of extra vocals. Then it trails down off the high and finishes out.

Turns out that you that if you’re a fan of Private Practice, the TV show, you’ll be hearing this song airing on Wednesday the 26th of Nov. 2008. Pretty darn cool. I suppose you’re getting a little sneak peak here. No, no video from the show. But at least you’re going to have a heads up on her song.

I recommend keeping an ear out for Lex. Go pick it up at iTunes. As for my lead, I’m out mountain biking today!
