(NEW) Adam C. Martin - Say it ain't So (Weezer Cover)

PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION - This song means so much to me, and it's hard for me to hold back TEARS while singing. It's very personal because I've had many friends with drug problems, and I know how it is. As a matter of fact, at the time I was recording this song, I was in a very rough relationship with my roommate, who shortly after robbed me of everything I owned (everything was returned, but we no longer speak, of course). She was heavily into drugs, and at one time, I really cared for her. But, I went through alot personally, hoping she would stop.

River wrote this song about his father's drinking problem, I know. But I think the lyrics are easily applied to any sort of relationship struggling with a drug or drinking problem.

This is my own arrangement of the Weezer song. I play by ear and cannot read sheet music.

P.S. the title says "NEW" because I agreed with alot of the comments saying the vocal sucked on the earlier version, so I deleted it and gave it another shot, and I think it was a success.

you are really gifted playing and singing. your voice reminds me of ben gibbard [death cab for cutie] at times.

Hey, thanks. I really appreciate it. I love hearing feedback from people, good or bad.

This is a really old one... I actually forgot that this one is still posted! I have another "Say it Ain't So" cover that I just did, like last week, lol. I suggest you check it out. It's MUCH better.

I'm right with you, man. I feel your pain. I cannot count the endless nights I've cried about my personal problems to my favorite Weezer songs.

But yeah dude, don't let shit get you down, just keep your chin up and do this world a favor: keep playing. You're really talented, no lie. Great video, 5/5.

Thanks so much - I've been meaning to redo this one, as this was recorded with a crappy webcam and a really bad mic lol. I now have a camcorder that records mpgs (most of my vids are done with the camcorder, I dunno how this one survived lol).

Thanks again. :)

this is just so amazing! you totally blew my mind. fantastic. do you by any chance have the sheet music?

[viiviiixxtactic]

Aw thank you so much. No sheet music though... I play everything that I know by ear - I can't read sheet music. This is actually my own arrangement.

This one is complicated too, or I would do a tutorial video for it... I could give you the chords if you think it would help?

Cm, G7, Ab, Eb. (the entire song except the "dear daddy" bridge which is Bb, Dm, Eb. [I think, it's kinda hard to explain...]) Hope I helped...
