...the ranger knocked on the tinted rear-window with a hairy fist, and looked surprised as he eyed the camera and guitar. "You're making music?" he said, scratching his uneven mustache. "Well, this might be the most appropriate thing ever filmed in the back of a car..."
I handed him a CD and the couple dollars I had in my pocket, hoping he'd go away, but he just eyed the CD cover and swung a hefty leg up on the car bumber. I smelled something stronger than coffee on his breath.
"Well, well... This is you, huh?" he said, pointing at the picture and scratching himself higher up on his thigh than I would have preferred. "Do you play any Enrique Iglesias?"
I laughed, "Are you serious?" and his expression turned cold. He squared his shoulders.
"Now listen, son. Enrique is a talented young man. He is a shining light and an inspiration to us all. Got that? An inspiration."
I nodded my head.
"Well, Mr. I'm-Too-Good-For-Enrique-Iglesias, did you pay on your way in here?" He motioned at a pay booth at the parking lot's entrance.
I shook my head- No.
"Well, well... Then it looks like you're gonna be singing the I-Got-A-Citation Song, ain't ya? Mr. I-Think-I'm-Hotter-Than-Enrique-Iglesias-But-I'm-Not-Because-No-One-Is."
I thought it better not to respond to this last remark and sat silently, watching his belley jiggle as he scribbled on the ticket pad with obvious enjoyment.
"Here," he said at last, handing me the thin sheet of paper. "And maybe you'll think twice next time befrore talking bad about a musical legend... Or not paying at a parking lot. That too."
He cleared his throat and spat on the ground for emphasis before walking off, humming something which sounded suspiciously close to 'Bailamos'.

...I don't like park rangers very much.


(...or Enrique either.)

Hey Issac what is the song that your singing at the end of the video? it sounds really amazing.

[SimonsIsaac]

@dantheman0801 It's called 'What We Do'. I recorded it under the name 'Eyes Awake' back when I was living in Portland. I think you can download it on iTunes if you're really into it.

Thanks!!

Hey man, you're rally talented, if you were to somehow get this to mp3 i would listen to this non stop. Keep it up :)

[SimonsIsaac]

No matter what instruments and technology is around, the guitar will never die

[SimonsIsaac]

@o0Rishay0o Thanks for the concern, but it's on purpose! I set it to name-your-own price with no minimum. I don't mind people downloading for free if they don't have money to spare, I'm just hoping everyone will help me spread the word and pass the music around!

[whoditit]

1:37 is just pure awesome

[kuradomas]

I WANT THE TABS FOR THIS

GIMME!!!!

[Blankmaki]

Don't think I've ever commented on a youtube but I love this song in it's original version, and even more in your version. Your rendition is fantastic. I've listened to it many times already, but it really doesn't feel like too many times yet even by a mile.

[lllockon]

nice cover as usual though I'm a little suspicious of the location of the video, looks like some sort of cliff or make out point??

[MrPickelluver]

Omg you're voice is... Is HEAVENLY! you're so amazing!!!!!

[KosyYak]
