Inspired while reading Treason, I wrote and recorded a song entitled--surprise surprise--Treason.

It can be downloaded as an MP3 here:

It's a piece with a smattering of vocals but no lyrics. I realize the idea of a song inspired by a book can be a little creepy, especially if you consider the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. But Led Zeppelin pulled it off, so maybe there's a chance this won't seem completely absurd....?

I think it is awesome. It reminds me of the book actually.

I like it too ... but I can't figure out how to download it and keep it. When I click "download" it just takes me to the main page.

Hmmm... I checked the site to see how the downloads were working, and they seemed okay. However, several other functions weren't working properly. Hopefully this is a temporary problem.

If it doesn't correct itself within a day or two, I'll contact the administrator about the problem.

I'm also working to get the song uploaded elsewhere, something I should've done a long time ago. If I succeed at this, I'll pop in a link for it here. Perhaps it'll be easier to download there.
