She Wanted Me Less and I Wanted Her More
We won. First place at the Battle of the Bands competition here at TM.
We played four songs, Seven Mary Three's Cumbersome, Nada Surf's Inside of Love, Radiohead's Creep, and the song that I think won it for us: a heavy metal version of Breathe's Hands to Heaven.
It was funny actually, we were practicing and we didn't know what our last song would be. We spent an entire practice session just thinking of what songs we could play. Hands to Heaven came up because I remembered this was only a four-chord song from start to finish. We arranged the music in 5 minutes, complete with the intro, pauses and drum solo. We practiced it once and hoped for the best. Didn't imagine that after we played, the song would get a lot of good reviews from our mates.
(On a side note, this wouldn't be my first time joining a band competition. I have had some success with my previous company band as well: Shrek: Movie Theme Presentation and Rec Event Retro 80s Theme. Fun times.)
