I've been told:
Distant Words - The Corrs, The Cranberries, Jewel and a female version of Alice In Chains.
Damaged Goods - David Byrne, Nirvana (ICH) and Alice In Chains.
Back in 1996, I (Robert) was in a band called "Last Call". I left the band due to some differences in opinions with me and a few of the other band members.
Just after leaving Last Call, I got a 4 Track recorder, and started writing and recording my own songs. These mostly consisted of a few acoustic guitar tracks, a bass track, and a very bad vocal track. Then I got a Drum Machine and started playing around with that.
One day, I was talking to a friend of mine named Johnny, and I mentioned the Dream Theater album, "Images And Words". He thought I said "Distant Words" and asked me what the hell I was talking about. I really liked the name "Distant Words" so I decided to start using that as my "Band" name. I'm not a big fan of the "idea" to use an individual's name as a "Band" name. After all, it takes more than one to form a "Band".
And thus, "Distant Words" was born.
Around the summer of 2002, I got into PC Based recording, and my wife Tricia started doing vocals for my songs. We tried for several months to get an actual "Band" together, but with no success. So, we just kept with what we were doing, and made the best of the situation.
I used the time to try and better my playing, writing AND recording skills. I'm no expert, but I think I've done pretty good considering...
We've had many setbacks, but we are still planning on continuing our work together.
In the meantime, I have started a few other "Projects" myself. Damaged Goods, which is some of my "Harder" songs with me on vocals and Damaged Words which is the Distant Words songs with me on vocals.
The future for Distant Words is still pretty unclear. But, what will most likely happen is that Distant Words will remain a "Project" between me and my wife, and nothing more. A Project that we will work on when ever we have the time.
