038: The Ballad of Toby Ziegler (my first original song)

[RedVines730]

Toby is my favorite. Thank you for this. It's great. :)

I like the guitar on your song. Nice strumming pattern. I have started to create songs on my guitar, however Im still not smooth enough to sing and strum at the same time. hnestly my singing needs lots of work anyway. Maybe you could do a video on singing while playing guitar? Any advice?

Ziegler, dealer, freezer, weezer, Fiddler, wheeler, pleaser, tweezer, screamer, etc. Just sayin'. And thanks for that, I love Toby Ziegler especially because his father was a gangster and he was 180 degrees away from that.

I hated it when Toby went...

Even Richard Schiff said Toby wouldn't actually have done something like that.

Schiff rationalised it to himself as Toby taking the fall for CJ

Could've sworn that guy in the thumbnail was wheezywaiter. . .

[bubblewrapbump]

Hah, I've been waiting for this one! Still love it. :)

We're moving?! What?! Nobody told me!

[tjbailey08]

I actually think that the chord progression is awesome, and Im kinda diggin the song!

[DeniseBeeVlogs]

That was nerd-tastic. I approve.

[IJethrobot]

Oh man, The Fiancee is going to love this song. She's a huge fan of the show.

Great song Paul, and (I deliberately don't say "but") I will acknowledge that your songwriting skills have grown since your first.  : )

sounded like a pretty good first song to me. I can't even remember what my first song was, but I have an idea, though.

(epic x epic + epic)^epic

West Wing ftw!!

[jbdazen]

Man, there are renowned songwriters who write similar songs. Certainly a terrific first! You should listen to Clem Snide/Eef Barzelay. This made me think of him.

[xperpetualmotion]

If I may paraphrase you, "Even your epic fails would be considered epic wins for the rest of the world."

That song is great :)

[ThreeStepsBack]

hahaha

keibler like in the elves

The Ballad of Toby Ziegler - AT LAST!!!! So happy you finally put this up :D This actually made my day. I hope this will launch your WWrock career. There's got to be a massive market for such music. I could be your manager - you/me split the profits 70/30? ;)

[withalittlegrace]

How could the Brazil song be bad?? ;)

And I too wish I was as bad at songwriting as you.

[Tdf645]

I haven't written any songs yet, and this sounds a lot like whatever i try to write haha, so in my own defense its pretty good.

[Thysane]

Surprisingly, I actually kind of liked this song. I don't know what it is.

[Director705]

Trust me when I say that is NOTHING compared to how horrible my first song was. There was no consistency to the lyrics, the melody, or the rhythm, as I was new to everything it takes to write a song(guitar, singing, lyrics) it was all bad. Then again, that was 2 years ago, and I'm sure in 2 years you'll hate this song much more than you already do.

[thepappytube]

For a 'bad' song, as you put it, it's quite good!

I wish I could play as 'bad' as you :P

[mickeleh]

How delightfully delicious. And, surprisingly, I'm crying. I miss Toby Ziegler. Thank you, for celebrating him in song.
