Melancholy Tune (original song)

This is a live performance of me with just my guitar (a red Parker Fly Delux) singing a new song I wrote recently called "Melancholy Tune". I hope you like it. Please rate it, fav it, let me know what you think and subscribe if you want to. I got more coming soon.

Melancholy Tune
(by Eric Garner)

Just a tragedy in a suit
Like a cavity that
needs a root canal
Just to make the pain
go away permanently

As I drive myself into work
I try not to be a jerk about
The conversation
we're both bound to have
eventually

If you wanted out, I'd understand
Things don't always go as planned
And no, I am not about to cry
I just have something in my eye

To avoid a slap to the face
I calculate a mishap to replace
the truth that we both
tend to hide away
in the back of our minds

As I shave the stubble from my chin
I can feel the trouble stir within your eyes as they glance away
from my reflection
so I cannot read the signs

If you wanted out, I'd understand
Things don't always go as planned
And no, I am not about to cry
I just have something in my eye

We've been together for so many years
Seems like forever without any tears to show for it and I can't believe
that we might change
that statistic soon

But I'm a big believer in fate
I just hope that it's not too late
to change the melody
of this melancholy tune

If you wanted out, I'd understand
Things don't always go as planned
No, I'm not about to cry
I just have something in my eye
I know you're not about to cry
You just have something in your eye

[jericgarner]

As I explained already, I am a certified hypnotist and felt it was appropriate to use that tag to tie it with my other videos about hypnotism I've uploaded.

However, I have now removed them per your request. BTW< your videos are fun to watch. you are talented

[noDsliw]

Brilliant!

[jericgarner]

thanks, mate! I appreciate your comment.

[HeyManCoolShades]

I dig the chords alot!!

This could be a "big" indie song.

It reminds me of britpop! Which is sweet.

[jericgarner]

really? thanks!!!! glad you like it.

I was thinking it sounded more like a country or folk song, maybe. but that's just me, so...
