Chester Graham - 1st Conviction (Track by Track)

It's almost that time. To release a debut of me singing in a new project. Actually this is the only music project I sing in (minus Puppies & Kittens, but Puppies & Kittens has become Chester Graham, so BOOOM). So I want to focus more on the music and maybe advertise a little more before I release the album itself. I figured I mind as well write the "history and meaning to each track". So everyone who actually reads this blog will know what to expect from the 1st Conviction. The album name has a hidden meaning, but I'm not here to spill the beans about it. I'm here to write 12 short and simple paragraphs about each track from the album. An album that will likely blow minds through the process. Let's get this show going....


"My Sexy Sexy" was recorded at the end of 2011 during the "winter break". The song was the first Chester Graham song I ever recorded. It was more by chance and I really didn't  write any lyrics for it. The song just came out of thoughts throughout my head and I decided to sing about anything sexy. Well it ended up being catchy to a point. It is the first song and single for a reason. I decided I mind as well put the first song I have ever recorded without using those easy drag and put loops on an album which would become a new music project for me.

"Vex" is just Vex. The song came about when I was in Dayton, Ohio back in January meeting the parents of my girlfriend for the first time. We ended up going out on the town that night and to some cool places. Well Vex wasn't one of those cool places. Vex reminds of all those random dance clubs I went to in Davenport, Moline, Peoria, and even Rome during college. Vex was in shape of a old dinner trailer and still had the seating for it. The song, itself, is in the point of a fellow patron of Vex that goes there every weekend. That's all I'm going to say about it.

"ALien" is an unique song  with unique random sounds in it. Let's just say its a song with a random and desperate meaning to it. We all have our needs and wants. Well this song has a big WANT in it.

"The creeper" is about all those random creepy people you ever run into. Like that random guy with a mustache and ponytail that's creeping people out at Kelleher's the other night. This song is in the point of view of the creeper.

"Baddest...." is a song about being the baddest person around. Basically being DA MAN at every place you go to.

"Cougars" is a song about middle age fine looking women and that's it.


"Lizard Golden Wonderfall" is about Lizard Lick Towing and Golden Corral. Basically I was watching Lizard Lick a few months back and I kept seeing ads about the chocolate wonderfall. So I decided that would be an interesting song to come with. Well I came up with the song and its on the album.






 "Yuengling and Wrestling" is about two of the most AMERICAN things in the world. I actually recorded the song while watching Raw and drinking some Yuengling. There is more to the song though.

"Interlude" is a short fill in song. Spoken word and that's it.

"Cray" is a song I created basically singing about who is crazy. I used the word cray because I wanted to be as cool as Kanye West.

"Water Run Run" is a song I wrote in 2009. It is the oldest song on the album, but this is a new version of the song. I originally recorded a demo back in the summer of 2009 and decided to do the song once again. The song is about my first break up at the wee age of 14.

"Confession part 1" is the last song I recorded for the album. I basically ramble throughout the song about some random things, but I do thank the listener in the song.
