I'm a sucker for Disney.

P.S. The video didn't encode right so the picture-in-picture part doesn't line up and skips. Boo :( . Better luck next time I guess.

Preliminary MP3 here (will plan to record again later):

ENTRY #1 TO "I WANT SOME MORE JAKE" VIDEO CONTEST
Started by: TheJumpingFlea
============================== ========

Dean Martin - Sway
(Originally by Pablo Beltran Ruiz "Quien Sera")

I've been playing this one for a while when I'm just practicing or playing around but I wasn't motivated to get somewhat of a clean version of this until now for TheJumpingFlea's contest. Added a bit of a variation the second time through the verse section so it doesn't seem as repetitious. I still have another original taking shape and I've started the process of recording my originals into clean, downloadable mp3 (and hopefully, for audiophiles, FLAC if I can) versions. Stay tuned for more updates and I hope you enjoy this piece!

Video 1 of 3 that I recorded today. I'll just post up the other two in a couple days time.

Not sure if its a very long intro or just a lack of creativity. The first draft of this one, before there used to be a slow beginning, starts around the 3-minute mark.

Still need to practice getting the 7th and 5th fret harmonics to be clear along with having the strings constantly ring during the chunking / string slapping.

Practice, practice, practice.

Enjoy

Lyrics:

love, it's a special day.
we should celebrate
and appreciate
that you and me found something pretty neat
and i know some say this day is arbitrary

but it's a good excuse to put our love to use
baby i know what to do, baby i will love you
i'll love you, i'll love you.

love, i don't need those things
i don't need no ring
i don't need anything
but you with me, cause in your company
i feel happy oh so happy and complete

and it's a good excuse to put our love to use
baby i know what to do, baby i will love you
i'll love you, i'll love you.

so wont you be my honey bee
giving me kisses all the time
be mine, be my valentine

so wont you be my honey bee
giving sweet kisses all the time
be mine, be my valentine

This is a song that I wrote a very long time ago but never recorded.

It's about a long distance relationship.

I just got a new imac and I'm having too much fun playing with imovie and garageband, so please forgive me for the video and audio fx.

sorry it's been a while! I have been diagnosed with a terrible but common condition called laziness.

lyrics:
Maybe next year
you will sing for me a mountain
with a voice that is a window
to the river deep inside

Maybe next year
you will love me as a hero
and I will fly across
our geographical divide

Time, time is a fickle friend
A friend we took for granted
in the twilight of our hour
All things come to an end
Maybe next year, maybe next year

Cause you said you'd always love me
and you said we'd be okay
so I took the job in California
a thousand miles away
Regret is such a bastard
and there's nothing you can do
Maybe next year I'll come home to you

I remember you and me
lying side by side
staring wide-eyed at the sky
I can see the moment
that you took me by the hand
smiled at me and said
let's never leave this land

repeat chorus thing

This one reminds me of all the stuff I used to 10 years ago from playing stickball to four-square.

And that damn cowlick on the back of my head is still as crazy as ever.

Too many takes and too lazy to fix it. haha.

I've been playing around with this a lot before it actually came into something. I never really know what to name it. Hahaha. It's rusty and crude around the edges, but it seems good enough for now.

Now I understand why backtracks are there. Better to hide the singing.

This is for the Bring the Song Challenge started by GrumpyCoyoteTunes.

His original challenge vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =FD9rMajYVy4

He had a great idea of writing one song each month for an entire year. It's a bit early in the morning here in the dorms so I didn't want to wake anyone up (a.k.a. I'll sing better next time... hopefully)

Better later than never right?

Bridge:

------------------------------
Verse:
spend my days wandering the streets alone
taking stock of all the things that I left at home
It's hard to find direction
with this diction in my head because

I just know
all I ever really need
is to go straight back to bed

Chorus:
where you are
to the shallow depth of sheets and blankets
to warm my head and toes
I'll feel fine
Love is what I want from this
and that will never go away

Verse:
It's alright
these troubled thoughts will never shake me
time is on our side

Just hold on
those dreadful views of being lonely
will empty from your head

Bridge:
I dream of us growing old
so we won't spend it alone
unlock the door cause I'm heading home

Chorus:
where you are
to the shallow depth of sheets and blankets
to rest these weary bones
I'll feel fine
Love is what I want from this
and that will never go away

(Wash, rinse, repeat)



Enjoy!
