Rebel Bell

When Kris Bell first shared this song, an instrumental on acoustic guitar, I thought it was beautiful, wistful, mournful, yet somehow joyful all at once.  A few weeks later, a group of us were together at Paris’ house getting ready to see another band.  We were killing time surfing the ‘net and caught Kris setting up his web cam.  As the group of us gathered around the computer screen, Kris treated us to a “live” performance of this song.  We all stood there in silence just listening to the magic being created on the guitar.  This video captures the spontaneity of that moment, while still conveying the emotions I felt when first hearing the song.  It’s an great song, delicate and simple, yet so complex.  Take a listen.

On a not-so-unrelated note:  Kris, I may be over the whole red shirt thing…
