Good Morning America Weekend is producing a new series called "Your Three Words" where viewers send in videos describing what they have been through the past week using just three words. They've gotten everything from "We just miscarried" to "It's not cancer" to "Miss my soldier," so it is a very touching segment.
Recently, they used "A Beautiful World" by Tim Myers for their segment.

The music of 23 year-old Tim Myers is becoming a genre in and of itself. And with six recognizable tracks in over ten National Campaigns including TARGET, SATURN, ABC TV, and JC PENNEY, Myers has already gained a prominent presence in American Households. It's nearly impossible to turn on a TV and not hear the catchy, endearing, downright addicting melodies and hooks of the Southern Californian singer/songwriter.
Myers’ soon-to-be-launched debut solo album will have its pick from over one hundred and fifty tracks, which he has compiled in the last year. Recently, iTunes release of Myers’ “The Good Life EP” was highly successful in presenting his carefree tunes, “A Beautiful World” and “The Good Life” .
One of America's most popular retailers, Target, widely praised for it’s artistic television ads, chose the music of Tim Myers to represent six nationwide commercials. “A Beautiful World” aired in Target’s 2008 ‘Design For All’ Campaign and Myers’ vibrant track, “Brand New Day featuring Lindsey Ray” is currently featured in a series of 5 unique commercials for the well-known retailer. Auto manufacturer, Saturn currently aired three national commercials featuring “The Good Life” .
Myers’ music has also been licensed by various TV shows and films such as
Hotel For Dogs ,
The Waterhorse: Legend Of The Deep, ABC’s
Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, The CW’s
One Tree Hill, and Lifetime’s
Army Wives, along many others. Myers’ songs have also contributed to the production of various independent films. Tim Myers has impacted the television world like no other independent artist in history.
Music has been the driving force for Tim from a very young age. Being compelled by piano at age five, guitar and bass were introduced to him shortly after. At eighteen, he joined the Platinum selling band OneRepublic. Myers entered the studio with the group, writing and performing on their debut record, “Dreaming Out Loud” , prior to leaving the band a few years later to embark on his solo career. Writing credits for the OneRepublic record include the Billboard hit single "Stop and Stare" as well as "All We Are", "Someone To Save You", and "Prodigal".
A true songwriter and visionary, Tim Myers does more than write ‘good’ songs. He creates synergy between him and the listener by evoking intimately warm, fresh and cheerful emotions. He finds influence in music's greatest songwriters; John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Bob Dylan. By also seeking inspiration from The Beatles' catchy melodic rhythm and lyrics, a touch of The Beach Boys-esque harmonies, while infusing his own modern twist, Myers has introduced a unique style of songwriting to the world. While he has become known for his encouraging messages and explosive choruses with tracks like “The Good Life” and “Brand New Day” , Myers also reaches deeper with songs such as "I Can’t Go On Living Without You", "Remember When (featuring Schuyler Fisk)” and "This is Love". Although these tracks have yet to receive as much recognition in advertisements and television, they clearly have the power to connect with people on an organic and human level. A writer and poet, Myers also often finds inspiration from America’s most prominent authors and poets like Charles Bukowski, T.S. Elliot, C.S. Lewis, George Orwell, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. ,
While major record labels and music companies are now making significant amendments to their business models to appease the rise of unsigned artists through the digital movement, Tim Myers has unintentionally paved a new path for all unsigned artists. His exposure has been amplified by television and film, similar to the way radio has been a driving force for the major label artist.
Aside from working on his own music, he continues to produce, write and collaborate with several other noted artists such as Tyrone Wells (Universal/Republic), Lindsey Ray (Original Signal), Days Difference (Universal/Motown), Mozella (Universal/Motown), Mitchel Musso (Disney), Schuyler Fisk (Independent) among many others.
With his notable success and consistent yet unique songwriting, Tim Myers will continue to make a strong impact as an artist in the constantly evolving music industry.
LA NIGHTLIFE REVIEW
By Pauline Bithell
At the risk of receiving accusations of being biased,
I have to say that the English Stone
Roses/Oasis/Libertines inspired Indie rock is
something the Brits have got down to damn near
perfection! Any other country that has a band with a
lead singer who copies the accent and grows their hair
to shaggy proportions...ummm, not so much.
But then, Tim Myers came along.
Myers got on stage wearing his brass buttoned red admiral jacket, skinny black jeans, and his long hair poking out under his beat up hat. You could tell he
was at least a fashion fan of Mr. Doherty.
Surprisingly the similarities didn't stop there. No,
there was no drug addled supermodel waiting in the
wings for him, but he did sound
remarkable....well...original anyway.
'Shot to the Head' saw Myers comfortably grab his
guitar and ease into this eclectic mix of seventies
funk, Beatles harmonies and psychedelic lyrics. It's
odd to see a band have such obvious influences, but
not feel like they're in some way ripping off the
classics. The backup vocalist, a girl in a black dress
and cowboy boots, wasn't just a pretty face added
to the mix, as many usually are. She and Myers'
harmonizing worked so well that the thought of her
being a band member's girlfriend just looking to get
on stage was the furthest thing from my mind.
Myers got onto his keyboard and performed 'Momma's Boy',
a song thickly layered with edgy vocals that could be
perceived as being on the verge of too pop for his
rough image. But, the clever addition of some vocals
aided by a loud speaker veered him away from a
mainstream classification, (despite its appearance on
'Grey's Anatomy' this past season).
Myers' Jagger-esque prancing and his very Carl Barat
wardrobe choices were in no way offensive or over
done, opening himself up to the apparent quality of
his inspiring and original song writing. He commanded
the respect of the audience, which he duly deserved.
Myers was neither smarmy nor arrogant on stage,
grinning like the proverbial Cheshire Cat, and quietly
emphasizing his Californian accent to prove he wasn't
copying, but borrowing. Tim Myers was exciting, even
stripping on stage (actually, his popper buttoned
shirt kept coming undone-but that was fine by me). He
has the LA smile and the great teeth, but luckily for
us he also possesses the English bite.

Hello how are you? I just wanted to let you know that I have just finished producing a yoga, meditation & relaxation album titled “Surrender of The Mind”
Surrender of The Mind is written for those of us who need to get away. Maybe we have had a tough day at work. Maybe we have studied hard. Maybe we need to reflect on certain events in our lives. Maybe we just need a moment to clear our minds and re-set our mental strength. No matter what the reason is, there comes a time when we all need to surrender our minds.
This album takes you on a musical journey like no other. Capturing the ancient sounds of panpipes, tabla, bells, sitar and many other ambient resonances for those who wish to achieve a higher state of consciousness, greater focus and self-awareness through yoga & meditation, or simply to accomplish a more relaxed and peaceful state of mind.
Please come on my profile and listen to the album, I am sure it will take you away from the mad world we are living in at the moment.
Let me know what you think of it, I look forward to your reply.
The full version of Surrender of The Mind is available on all download sites including iTunes and Amazon.
“There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer; It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. It's thoughtfulness and kindness, It's hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding, And for goodwill to men!” I wish you a merry Christmas and happy new-year!!
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
