I played open mic today and watching some people figit and get nervous before going up to perform made me smile. Not in the way that you are all thinking. I smile in rememberance of my first experiences playing guitar live, and how much I loved to perform. It wasn't anything spectacular just playing a couple dave tunes, but to have people clap and smile after i performed was the world for me. I actually remembered when brother bill littlebill and i played at my church in town. I still remember singing blackbird and having him play for me. Sounded pretty good in my head, not really sure how it sounded tho. I learned a lot from my older brother back in those days. Slammin on the ovation (man i obused that thing) and trying to make chords. Rockin out songs like plush and #41. Even playing "dust in the wind" live with my junior high chorus. Wow I wasn't a "cool" kid in my mind until that day ^_^
I guess I've come a long way since then. Playing on my Martin D-35 and writing songs. Releasing an album with my twin broski, and working on my own stuff on the side. It was refreshing to have people comment on my music tonight and tell me that they enjoyed it. It's always nice to know that the work that you put in to your stuff is appreciated. So... after everyone performed I got up and just played some covers. There was literally no one there but that didn't bother me. I just love to play. The sound of the guitar and how it feels in my hands, how effortlessly i can carry a tune and enjoy just listening to everyone, and myself. Close my eyes and play. Listen to the guitar and focus in on the sound. Amazing instrument. Strings. Pic. Melody. Songs. Lyrics. Everything just swept me away.
I could play for days. I would, if i had that much material.
I hope I get a contract. Tour. Release music on the masses.
That's what I wanna do.
On another note. I wrote a song over the summer and it's for piano. The first for piano. I'm starting to pick that up as well. Sang it tonight.
Words are.
Intro.
How long must I wait here. How long must I wait for you...
Verse.
Take me to a place, weve been all over the world.
It seems such a waste, I'd share the view again.
Chorus.
I'd love you, oh if I could. All over again.
I know what you said, but I can't pretend.
Verse 2.
I got your flowers today, your sorry yesterday.
We've been down this road before. I just won't do it again.
Chorus.
I'd love you, oh if I could. All over again.
I know what you said, I just won't pretend...
Bridge.
I can't love you anymore...
can't kiss you lips.
can't hold your hands.
you won't steal my heart again.
Out.
How long must I wait here. How long must I wait for you...
This was a up all night to write tangent gotta get this of my chest kinda song. It may be written and sung by me, but it's not a song writtin through my eyes. It's the best way for me to say that i understand and... I'm sorry.
