Trip to Wonderland

This is my second upload within a couple of minutes, hope I don't overload you. I wrote this song when I was 12 years old, maybe 13. It is of course inspired by The Beatles "Magicial Mystery Tour". As before I recorded this on the fly and then just built around it as you can tell be the ending, I didn't really know where to go with it so I used the click The Beatles used in You Know My Name". This will be the last song I post from my past. I also don't like using myself in videos but since I had these clips from "Picasso is Dying" and didn't use them I thought, what the hell.

Trip To Wonderland (revised) rjaggers/Friday, November 05, 2010

Come along with me cause we're going to see
a land of mystery
Everyone is there we won't have a care, leave
your troubles behind you no one can find you
We're on a trip to wonderland, wonderland, wonderland
We will sing away as they dance and sway
against the midnight skies
We won't have to run once it's all begun
there's no troubles behind us no one can find us
chorus, musicial intermission
first verse out.

Tim as I always say the Beatles litterly changed my life and sometimes I'm not too sure if it was for the good. But everyone who's ever known me knows that I am a Beatles fanatic and I still am. Their music is still as fresh to me today as it was when I slid out that first 45 or opened that first LP. Strange the things we tend to associate with certain memories in our lives, like PopTarts.

Wouldn't we all wanna find a land like that & leave all our troubles behind? I dig it! Loved it my buddy Reg! It had that McCartney style bouncy melody & bass line,great sound & cool tune & great guitar ending. Could this be a lost classic from the Magical Mystery Tour movie? lol Could be. ;) It was a fun song to listen to,like an adventure. The video was great too,psycedelic and there's the maestro doing his thing on guitar! You look great too,gotta show more of you. I just Loved it! :)))

@cbrb40 I was sitting at my aunts house one day and she had an old upright piano sitting there. I ran my fingers across the strings against the soundboard and got the inspiration to do this, especially after just getting Magicial Mystery Tour for Christmas. So I sat down and started banging out chords on her piano and then ran home and wrote it on my guitar. I never did anything with it so after all these years I thought I'd do it. Thanks again buddy, Reg

@jhaley12 I love your stories behind the songs Reg,you had it in our from your youth to write songs and get ideas. I can just picture those scenes,what a cool time,getting Magical Mystery Tour for Christmas,those were the days my friend. :)) I think my dad bought us Strawberry Fields & Penny Lane single for Christmas if I can remember,I was about 8 but loved it.

Wow imagine all those years leaving that song like that,it's great that you finally finished it. You inspire us my brother. :))

@cbrb40 my mom had gotten me the album but it was under the tree. i knew what it was so late that night i carefully unwrapped iti, played it several times , read the booklet in it and then rewrapped it and put it back. She never knew it or she would have killed me lol. Everytime the Beatles realeased a new song it was like the biggest event of my life waiting till I could get it. When ever i see or hear "poptarts" i think of Strawberry Fields to this day. wonderful memories.

You can't upload too much, Reg! :)

Excellent trip to wonderland... and amazing that you wrote this one when you were only 12 or 13 years old!

Thank you for all your great songs in the past, I hope you will share your music in 2011 with us! :)

All the best and see you,

Lilly

@LillyC68 LIlly that's all I lived and breathed was music. Most of my earlier songs aren't much but I was happy to be able just to write them. Thank you as always, I'll have one more song up soon. One which I consider very good If I do say so myself. "Tired of Running". thank you dear Lilly, Reg

I really like this one Reg. You've always been a talented chap. What would we have done without The Beatles? They certainly changed a lot of lives. Hey, I ate some strawberry pop tarts this morning! ha ha

[cbrb40]

@jhaley12 haha love that story! You couldn't wait even one more day. Hey I can't blame you,we're talking about the Beatles here. :)) There ain't gonna be anything even close to them these days with any of the artists out there. Good thing your mom didn't see that. lol ;) Those were the coolest times right? I have so many memories myself of the Beatles in the 60's & I was a kid. You keep that sound & feel of the Beatles going today my buddy! Oh yeah strawberry poptarts,I gotta get some now. ;)
