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.
Tim Myers’ January 08’ released sophomore EP ‘THE GOOD LIFE’ is already making a huge impact in the Film and Television universe with his song, “A Beautiful World” running in the current TARGET Ad Campaign as well as the Canadian Campaign for CANON and in Good Morning America’s new series "Your Three Words". Other Myers’ songs have been featured in Sony released Motion Picture "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep", one of television’s greatest ABC’s "Grey’s Anatomy" and Lifetime’s top rated show, "Army Wives". In addition to major television and motion picture, Tim’s songs have contributed to the production of four independent films; "For Christ Sake", Directed by Jackson Douglas (Gilmore Girls) and staring Mad TV’s Will Sasso, "Price To Pay", "Border Lost", and "A Downward Spiral. Songwriting and performing is what drives 21 year old Southern California native Tim Myers.
"A lot of people can't imagine writing a song, but to me it's like breathing. I do it because I have to… The times in my life that I’m most happy is when I'm creating original sounds and recording in the studio." – Myers
He finds influence in some of music’s greatest songwriters such as John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley, and The Flaming Lips, while seeking inspiration from America’s most prominent authors and poets; C.S. Lewis, George Orwell, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and T.S Elliot.
Music has been a presence in Tim Myers’ life since an early age. Being compelled by piano at five, guitar and bass were introduced to him shortly after. At age eighteen Myers then joined the 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. Myers’ 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”.
Tim continues to record and collaborate with several other noted artists in Los Angeles and can be found playing at various venues throughout the west coast, including regularly at Hotel Café in Hollywood. Through his original and inspirational music, Tim Myers will continue to make a strong impact on live shows by intriguing his audience with his fresh approach to performing and songwriting.
"If being egotistical means you believe in your music… then you can call me that.” - Myers

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.
