Color Theory

my Dad’s favorite Color Theory song

Download "I Stand By My Mistakes" for free, courtesy of Microsoft

It’s “I Stand By My Mistakes” from The Thought Chapter. He likes that my wife Michelle sings it with me. I suppose it’s technically a duet. If he harbors any cognitive dissonance due to the melancholy nature of the lyrics, I don’t detect it. My songs aren’t meant to be autobiographical anyway, so don’t read too much into it. This one is light on synths, being one of the handful of CT songs to feature guitars. One doesn’t have to be an electronic music fan to appreciate it.

I mention this because Microsoft has made the song available for free – no sign up required. Not only that, but they’re paying me 50¢ for each unique download. Even if you’ve already got the album, I’d appreciate it if you’d take a moment to download it here:

Who knows? Maybe your Dad will like it too.

Great job! I’m flattered that you chose my song. I’ll try to send as many people as I can to your link so they can vote. I was pleased to discover I didn’t have to sign up for anything to comment and vote!

So I did end up using this song. I made a picture slide show/ video with your song playing. It would be awesome if you can check it out and I’d REALLY appreciate it if you could vote and leave a comment telling me what you think. You don’t have to sign up or anything. If i win this contest it would be amazing because my parents really can’t afford to buy me a laptop for school. thanks! this is the link: http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/VideosSeries/VideoView.aspx?qsi=16261077

That sounds like a cool contest! I guess Microsoft is really pushing this promotion.

Good luck, and thank you!

I love this song! It reminds me of high school and my friends. I just graduated. I’m doing the microsoft contest to win a laptop for college and our task this week is to choose a song out of the 1,000 on the http://www.myspace.com/windows website and describe why we chose it. I think I’m going to choose this song! Wish me luck!
