I heard this song on the radio about 7 times today and it got stuck in my head.

I changed the station and the announcer was talking about Taylor Swift in being one of the "Most Successful Celebrities under the age of 30".

Got home from work.

I watched a cover of this song uploaded today by Alyssa Bernal http://www.youtube.com/hchskni ghts08 and it blew me away.

I found myself singing this song all day, might as well record a one-taker.

This is my guy rendition of "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift. Hope you like!

Please rate and share it!

much love,
chris cendana

Happy 4th of July!

This is a quick upload of "A Sad Song" by Rob Szabo off his "Like A Metaphor" album.

I did a show with him @ So.Zo in Morgantown, WV during one of his tour stops, and I was blown away by this guy's talent! Rob is a very talented artist from Toronto who reminds me a lot of Jason Mraz.

You should go check him out on his website --
http://www.robszabo.com and iTunes! You can also follow him on twitter - http://www.twitter.com/robszab o

(I actually meant to do his song "Beautiful" but due to me messing up continuously, it is now 8am. I'm not sad at all in this video, just can't feel my face. LOL)

Please rate and subscribe! :)

much love,
chris

Lyrics
---
You threw it all away, what you were gonna say
You memorized what you decided, so you wouldnt be swayed
Was it a mistake? the advice you gave
How many plans have you devised? You just hope shell be okay

How many times can your world stop spinning?
How many eyes do you avoid in one sitting?
How many hours a day? Well Im thinking
You cant be wrong if youre singing

A sad song for someone you care for
Be careful you cant wait forever

You try to bury it, this little thing you wont admit
No matter how you try to hide, it always brushes against your skin
You stumble out on stage, like youre an actor in a play
But all those lines you memorized, come out as lines on your face

Dont get involved with a cannonball
you never know when that weight will fall
you never know where theyre coming from
you never know
you might be wrong
you might be wrong
you cant be wrong

Velvet Fingertips
by Chris Cendana
Copyright 2006 Chris Cendana

close your eyes
tell me what you see
is it you alone standing
awaiting patiently

you know i love to guess what you're thinking
it's fun, don't you agree?
to try to play a psychic
to such a mystery

when i close my eyes
i fly above the trees
so i can watch the sun
crash into the sea
running through the clouds
breathing in the breeze
oh, how it soothes

(chorus)
if you only knew
what you do to me
or feel what i can do
or see what i can see
i feel i'm next to you
when i fall asleep
when i think of you

don't try to use a knife
to get inside my head
cause if you truly loved me
you'd care if i was dead

you know i love to joke
if i didn't
i would not be me
but if you were a book
who know what i could read

cause when i close my eyes
i can feel your lips
kiss the perfect parts
like velvet fingertips
relaxing on the sand
the wine we have to sip
is so very sweet

(chorus)
(soloing)

instruments used in this video:
classical guitar
a guiro
a set of car keys

Capo 5
Verse
C, D, Em, D (3x)

When The Lights Burn Out
By Chris Cendana
Copyright 2007

When it's cold, i think of you and things feel like old times
And the laughs we had warm me inside
my mind is at ease
when thinking of you and me

Had a fight on our last go round
No idea my world would come right down
With nothing left to hold
It crazy to know, you'd still be there

And I want you to know, I'll be here till my hair falls out
and shining when the lights burn out
I know it's been while but I can't help smile
When you turn my world upside down
Yes, I know it's been years since we've talked on the phone this long
And didn't say who was wrong
Let's try to make this right
I need some of you in my life

Take some time to reflect on the day that our friendship was set aside
By the words that got mixed up in my mind
A simple flaw is enough to destroy us all
I admit I was wrong, but dragging this out too long
Was enough for me to write this song
And say I'm sorry for all the things I've done.

And I want you to know, I'll be here till my hair falls out
and shining when the lights burn out
I know it's been while but I can't help smile
When you turn my world upside down
Yes, I know it's been years since we've talked on the phone this long
And didn't say who was wrong
Let's try to make this right
I need some of you in my life

When the lights burn out. . .

The Way It Is
by Chris Cendana
Copyright 2004 Chris Cendana

My heart can't bear to figure out
What hurt is all about
And all this stupid pain that you put me through
I wish you wouldn't blow this chance
To stop this ignorance
And just let me in
Your world to start anew

But that's the way it is, oh yeah
That's the way it is

Push and shove, kick and rub --
The things we do for love
It's like a war with it's
Pointless casualties
And when you think you're near the end,
It just begins again
And the life you hope to start one day
Just flies away

But that's the way it is, oh yeah
That's the way it is

Instrumental

that's the way it is, oh yeah
That's the way it is.

Instruments used:
a wine glass/fork
Taylor acoustic
Gibson SG 1974 (Hot Head pedal)
hand claps

Dedicated to Chris and his family. This was for his contest that sadly I did not win but that's not why I did it. I did it for support of Chris and Janelle(I think it was) his sister.

UPDATE - We now have the lyrics in all the languages!

When it's cold, I think of you and things feel like old times
And the laughs we had that warmed me inside.

Minha mente está livre, quando penso em você e eu.

De laatste keer stortte ik in elkaar
had geen idee maar jouw woorden raakten zwaar
nu sta ik hier alleen..

E assurdo! Saresti ancora li.

And I want you to know, I'll be here till my hair falls out
And shining when the lights burn out.

Y yo se que hace mucho tiempo pero necesito sonreir quando volteas mi mundo.

Znam da je bilo, dugo da smo pricali,
i nasam gresjio.

Pūmau Ka pūmau tonu (Pu-moh)
taku aroha ki a koe.

Take some time to reflect on the day that our friendship was set aside
By the words that got mixed up in my mind
A simple flaw is enough to destroy us all
I admit I was wrong, but dragging this out too long
Was enough for me to write this song
And say I'm sorry for all the things I've done.

Maar dit moet je weten,
zal er zijn tot oud en grijs
het eind van onze tijd

And I know it's been a while, but I can't help but smile
When you turned my world upside down.

znam da je bilo, dugo da smo pricali,
i nasam gresjio

Let's try to make this right, cause I need some of you in my life.
When the lights burn out...

Kia ora, haere mai

Quando le luci si spengono.

When the lights burn out...



Thanks to everyone for watching!
