Performer/Songwriter
Hey everybody! I'm Jerry Flattum, Performer/Songwriter. The recordings you are listening to are in Pre-Production, a fancier way of saying "demo." I'm currently working on getting up the financing to re-record and master several recordings in preparation for commercial release. Nothing drives me nuts more than knowing how these tunes will sound with new arrangements and a top notch mix/master. There's alot of color missing from the current recordings, but most of all guitar and backup vocals. Live drums and new keyboard samples will really bring the arrangement to life too. Two of the songs feature "hired guns" (session players). Tim Thompson did the guitar and mix on "My Little Girl," a Country/Rock ballad. Thompson is a finger style champion and when he let's loose on uptempo rockers he rivals the best pickers I've ever heard. Stephen Sea knocked out his own arrangement of "Best Place Around" and topped it off with some amazing guitar work. Virtual instruments and sampling technology will be heavily used in the new recordings. Once the recordings are finished, with sufficient financing and backing, I'm planning a global tour with a stage show that includes dancers, acting, stage design, lighting and costuming.

Story behind the song
The strange thing about strangers, is that you can be yourself in a way you can't be with people who claim to know you. Once people form their opinions of you, it's real hard to change their perception. You get stuck, and the only way to break free is to meet someone new. The recording is in pre-production, being re-arranged and mastered in preparation for commercial release.
Lyrics
ARMS OF A STRANGER Woke up this morning in the lost and found. Nobody to claim me, not a living soul around. A princess was standing right before my eyes. She had the ticket to claim me...what a surprise. Goin' crazy, out of my head. Must have been dreamin', must have been dead. To feed this hungry fire, in the ARMS OF A STRANGER. The lover who left me, left me all alone, now my dreams and secrets belong to someone unknown. I could just stay here and freeze my soul, what else to do, when the fire grows cold. Only so much, so much you can share. Reach their limit, flames vanish in the air. To feed this hungry fire... In the ARMS OF A STRANGER, where I can be free. In the ARMS OF A STRANGER, to find the other me. From the ashes, passion remains. A new love, a new love is born. Take her in my arms, and give... Give, what I couldn't give before. How empty is the feeling, of love's defeat, like the ceiling too high and the floor cold to the feet. You can hear life calling thru the wall; can't move, and I don't know why-down from a fall. 1000's of strangers going everywhere. One holds the key to the life, behind this vacant stare. To feed this hungry fire... In the ARMS OF A STRANGER, where I can be free. In the ARMS OF A STRANGER, to find the other me. In the ARMS OF A STRANGER, where I can be free. In the ARMS OF A STRANGER, to find the other me. Copyright 2010 Jerry Flattum
