"Misspent Time" - Josie Charlwood (original featuring TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2)

This is just a quick acoustic video of me playing one of my newest tracks 'Misspent Time', which I finished on the 26th Jan 2011. Harmonies are generated live with TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2, which I trigger with a foot-switch in this video. My Yamaha APX-700 acoustic guitar and Shure SM58A are directly connected to the VoiceLive2. Hoping to get a proper recording done soon for this track.

Misspent Time

She said 'fragile little heart, just get back in your cage'
She's a jealous girl, but he hurt her all the same
Showed her the whole world and then took it away
Turned his words to gold so they didn't sound so grey

He said 'You became my reason why
I would get up every morning and sleep through every night'
You made me smile and never had to try
I gave you all my time.

I opened up my heart and I let you find a place
You'd say your words of gold, put a smile on my face
So I treasured every moment and I hoped it would never change
You brought my world to colour and brightened every day

You were all my reasons why
I would get up every morning and sleep through every night
You made me smile and never had to try
I gave you all my time.

Oh, I guess I never learn
For you took your words and you gave them all to her.
You put your heart and hers before mine
You put your heart and hers before mine..

I said 'broken little heart just get back in your cage'
I'm a jealous girl, but you made me that way
You became my world and then you walked away
With all your words of gold, oh how I wanted you to stay

You were all my reasons why
Now I can't get up every morning and I can't sleep through the night
You made me cry when you didn't try
You were a waste of misspent time
But at the end, the end of the line
I will never forget the days when you were mine
And maybe I wish I was her and I would change for you every time

Maybe I wish I was her and I would change for you every time.

U need a pop shield

[BehindThoseEyes13]

@TheUberFood Got one just didn't use it for a quick live video - it'd cover my face. Use it for all released recordings.

My fiance is red headed and is left handed just like you and basically sounds exactly like you singing. When she was gone with her parents for a month I listened to all of your songs and I just felt like she was next to me the entire time. For that I thank you so much. Keep up the great work!!!
