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

CANADIAN SING-A-LONG!

Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Even if in winter things tend to freeze
We've got the world monopoly on trees
And our country's bordered by three different seas

Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
We invented the zipper, we've got expertise
We made insulin to combat disease
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please

CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

Et si ce n'était pas assez
On a deux langues officielles:
L'anglais et le français
Ooh la la

Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Where else do you find mounted police
Or go to the hospital and not pay fees
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please

And when freshwater is in high demand
We've got the world's largest supply on hand
So you know that we could make a pretty good friend
But it's even better if you can be...

CHORUS

So you're thinking to yourself,
"How do I live in this beautiful country?"
Well we've got some steps for you to follow...

STEP 1: Lose the gun
STEP 2: Buy a canoe
STEP 3: Live multiculturally
STEP 4: You're ready, there is no more!

We got beavers, caribou and moose
We got buffalos, bears, and Canadian goose
And we're sorry about Celine Dion
But she did do that good song for James Cameron...

CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

The Greek chilled out with Socrates
Can't build a wall like the Chinese
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

In Kenya they have safaris
We've missed lots of other countries
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

Voici une reprise du titre "Thriller" que j'ai intégralement enregistré par ma voix, en A'cappella sur 64 pistes. Il n'y a donc aucun instrument, synthé, boite à rythme, ni même sampler, mais seulement le son de ma voix agrémenté de Reverb, Equalisation et d'un léger Chorus. Pour les parties qui se répètent, j'ai simplement utilisé la technique du "Looping".

J'ai réalisé ce projet non-commercial chez moi, uniquement à l'aide d'un PC portable, d'un micro, d'un casque et d'une webcam. Il s'agit juste d'un défit artistique, réalisé durant mes heures de loisir, dont le but est de surprendre mes proches et les internautes.

En espérant que vous preniez autant de plaisir à écouter et regarder ce clip, que j'en ai eu à le réaliser. N'hésitez pas à me laisser vos commentaires, ou bien à me contacter par le biais de mon profil MySpace : http://www.myspace.com/francoi smacre

Titre Original «THRILLER» :
Paroles et Musique par Rod TEMPERTON

------------------------------ ------------------------------ ----------

Here is a remake of the "Thriller" song that I've entirely recorded with my own voice, using 64 A'cappella tracks. There is therefore no instrument, synthetizer, beatbox, or even to sampler, but only the sound of my voice livened up with Reverb, Equalization and slight Chorus. Regarding looping parts, I've simply used the "looping" technique.

I've accomplished this non-commercial project at home, only with a laptop , microphone, headphones and webcam. It's just an artistic challenge, accomplished during my hours of free time, whose purpose is to surprise my close circle and net surfers.

I hope you'll have as much pleasure to hear and watch it as I had to accomplish. Don't hesitate to leave me your comments, or to contact me through my MySpace's profile : http://www.myspace.com/francoi smacre

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)

Chorus

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

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!
