Just The Way I Am

Hello Dolly.

Really happy with this one. The video is all one take, video'd on three separate cameras and recorded into Logic at the same time (mainly so I could add backing vocals later).
Kristina helped me set up the camera angles and she has mad videography chops. My iMovie skills are having to race to catch up. :D
Considering I had to spend tuesday night desperately finishing NaNoWriMo I was a little worried, but the song was fun to write and seemed to come together naturally.

Lyrics:
In October when the rain was fallin' down the windowpane
On the sleeve she was a-walking, walking in her pretty dress
blessed with sun and happiness, smiling by a tree

In a world that's full of wrongs, Dolly played the good old songs
In the good old days when times were bad enough to sing about
Shouting like we're falling out, gypsy, joe and me.

It's just the way I am, little bird
mama say a prayer, little bird
Nothing warms my heart more than listening to Dolly Parton
When outside the rain's starting to fall...

Dolly's sweet and dulcet tones, music to my gramaphones
Pickwick records picked it up for late inspired re-release
In ninety-nine I found my peace playing on CD

We put the album on, the good old days aren't gone
the golden age
and nothing warms my heart more than listening to Dolly Parton
In the good old days when times were bad enough to sing about
Shouting like we're falling out, gypsy, joe and me.

It's just the way I am, little bird
mama say a prayer, little bird (my blue ridge mountain boy)
Nothing warms my heart more than listening to Dolly Parton
When outside the rain's starting to fall...
'cause recently it seems as though the sun don't shine at all.

@eeli1 Thanks! This song is one of my favourites so far - mainly because I can play it with just an acoustic guitar, which mean i can play it anywhere. =D
