Animore Releases First Single On Itunes For Valentine's Day

Online, February 11, 2011 (Newswire.com) - When you live in Southern California, and the love of your life lives in Lima Peru, how do you show her you love her on Valentine's Day? Some guys would send flowers, others chocolate, and for the not so imaginative, just a card. For Claude S. of Animorè, this just wasn't enough. He had to change his destiny, and he felt compelled to show the love of his life that mere flowers and cards wouldn't cut it. He had to cross the distance.

So what did he do? He recorded EverAfter, a song he wrote for her, shot a video using all of his artwork (with drawings of his love), and put it on iTunes worldwide. He even went as far as to get the attention of Ellen Degeneres (she follwed him on Twitter for a week) by making a video introduction for her and putting it on YouTube. It is, he says, the ultimate Valentine's Day Gift. And it will last for as long as there is an internet.

Claude Explains: "There's this great little company called CDBaby.com, that will put your song on iTunes worldwide! They also service other online retailers such as Zune, Amazon and Napster. So for under 40 bucks you can make a lasting impression and maybe even make some money from it... Which is what is happening to make my dream come true."

Another great service that he employed was Lulu.com. On Lulu, one can sell not only an MP3, but also Ebooks, Videos, picture books and more. Claude S. elaborates, "The great thing about sites like CDBaby and Lulu is that I can choose what I want to put out. Be it high resolution files, the video and even my artwork."

Services like these have been around for years, but why would he release a song as a Valentine's Day Gift?

"The reality of a long distance relationship is that they are difficult. And although Skype, email and FaceBook have made this easier, nothing can replace being with the one you love. I came to believe that a change in destiny was in order for us. And this song carries with it my hope and my dreams. I hope God sees it fit to grant me my wish... To move the hearts and minds of all of those in love across the globe.."
