capital letters (original song by e.f. beckley)

my last song post for a while. if you listen, this song is for you.

i made this using windows sound record and a $15 external mic from radio shack. this is a live recording of my real voice and guild guitar. the picture was taken on a cell phone at the oregon coast. i used windows movie maker to make the video. the song was written in a dash, but the live performance took a few shots. i don't wish it was any fancier, and i hope you don't mind my low-tech, low-budget operation too much. if you like my music, please support it by doing all of the stuff you already know about. i will be back to posting songs when i get my life in order. in the meantime, i hope you enjoy my dedication to my youtube friends.
all the best to everyone,
efb

*a short note on interpretation: almost everyone has interpreted 'capital letters' to mean material success and/or acclaim. i won't dispute this as being invalid, but my original intent was to refer to proper nouns always being capitalized in the english language. i hope that helps a little.

original song by e.f. beckley all rights reserved

the things i don't like are varied and many,
but the top of the list is hardly a guess.
if i was to catch the dream most desired,
i'd stow it away and never look back.
one day you may see me
me typing my name with capital letters.
until it comes to be,
here is the thing i want you to know.
my love for the world is just like the ocean,
rugged and vast, full of plastic and oil.
my love for you, dears, is a source of great torment.
the song in my heart just isn't for sale.
one day you may see
me typing my name with capital letters.
until it comes to be,
i hope you have found a love for yourself.
any small light is a cinch to extinguish.
and every frog's voice is just like the rest.
if i had a face it would make me hard-hearted
and if i had a coin, it wouldn't make me a man.
one day you may see
me typing my name with capital letters.
until it comes to be,
i love you, my friends, from the depths of my soul.
