Final tribute to the Washburn bumblebee

A video to accompany the song about my washburn that I made yesterday, kind of. The track I recorded in December 2009, along with lots of others. I made all tracks into songs, but didn't do this one. So I made up some lyrics and sung (if you call it singing, talking really) as well as added a solo guitar part. wasn't really meant to be a sad-ish song, but turned out like that anyway. video is from its death in march or something like that.

lyrics here:


This is the last song I wrote on my washburn
A destroyed guitar that now I yearn for
Shattered by my own carelessness
Best guitar ever I swear honest
It's the best things you've got that you never notice
Ignorant just cus you're lost in the bliss
Back down to earth when its broke
Let harsh reality soak in
Bet you wish you took care felt it loved her
Whyd ya do it whats wrong can't remember
Now ya got nothing but the memories
This is the loss that brought you to your knees

What do you do when its all gone
Go to the grave but don't stay long
Outa the dark into the sun
Go find a prettier better new one
There are plenty aint that right
Idea of the one is just so trite
Look around nobody cares
They don't see that she was rare

Now I play all the time on my blue one
Just like always I have my fun
Quality of this one is so much higher
Hands move around like they're on fire
Fingerboard's got nice action
Lets me do things Ive never done
Learning things I never knew
Not just prettier but easier too
Still occasionally look back
Feeling that theres some part I lack
Where's the soul the love the passion
Want something more than to be in fashion
This is its its all that's here
Will it still be like this in a year

What do you do when its all gone
Go to the grave but don't stay long
Outa the dark into the sun
Go find a prettier better new one
There are plenty aint that right
Idea of the one is just so trite
Look around nobody cares
They don't see that she was rare
