Hard To Tell -Original

Free mp3 at http://www.last.fm/music/jeff+pianki/newer+recordings

This is a little tune I wrote a few months ago when I was listening to a lot of Frank Sinatra. Big thanks to my cat, Shirley for adding in some appropriate meowing in the first chorus.

Hummingbird, you barely sing
the only song I hear, your humming wings.
Humming bee you never sting,
and I held on for hours, but didn't feel a thing.

It's hard to tell how hard it's been,
to have a name that hardly fits.
It's hard to know what to expect,
hard to have when nothing's left.

Seahorse where'd your saddle go?
..so much for pony rides down coral roads
Forest Pike you've never seen
a single blade of grass or leaves on trees


It's hard to tell how hard it's been,
to have a name that hardly fits.
It's hard to know what to expect,
hard to have when nothing's left.

Mary-Beth where is your ring?
You've never loved much more than summer flings
Sarah-Grace you wear a frown,
it's not so elegant to keep falling down.

Sometimes I post originals or cover songs without the video onto this blog

I recently got a twitter account as well... and I'm not really sure what to do with it yet, but it will be good for updates I suppose.

[BigJarrhead777]

gah. what a genuine person. your personality seriously makes the music all the better. anyone can write a good song, but when they are humble about it and are more about the music than the money, it makes me want to give them my money all the more haha. keep being so awesome man
