Blah Blah Blah V2

Thanks for all the reviews/comments on V1. Denis ran this through his preamp,did some EQ and added Bass..I decided to do the chorus differently vocally and tried it myself.The first line of each section is me whispering the words over top of the vox track, I like the effect.I also added a third chorus after the scratch'n break down.

Why I'm Here

Why I'm Here (Vanessa)

Sittin in this room with nuthin to do and
nuthin's on
Think'n about my girl it's killing me I
write this song
As my heart flows through the pen
onto the page
A feeling comes over me it's
hard to explain
I swear I owe you my life
Your why I'm here

I've been blessed with 12 years of your smile
Those cold winter nights you lay by my side
I hold you in my arms and I drift away
Cocooned in your love sweet warm embrace
When I'm with you I'm no longer confused
Never wonder why when where even 
how I will drown
I swear I owe you my life
Your why I'm here

And through it all,
Vanessa
All my life,
Vanessa

The year of 96 my world turned upside down
Met my wife to be layed Father to the ground
She took me by the hand , she stole my heart
I knew she was the one from the very start
When I'm with her I'm no longer confused
Never wonder why when where even 
how I will drown
I swear I owe her my life
She's why I'm here

And through it all,
Vanessa
All my life,
Vanessa
A better love couldn't be found
talkin about Vanessa
I swear I owe you my life
Your why I'm here

Each night  I go to sleep I stare into your eyes
I gaze at your body I get shivers in my spine                 
I love you more and more each and every day
For all of eternity I will love you this way
When I'm with you I'm no longer confused
Never wonder why when where even 
how I will drown
I swear I owe you my life
Your why I'm here

And through it all,
Vanessa
All my life,
Vanessa
And through it all,
Vanessa
All my life,
Vanessa
Vanessa,Vanessa
Vanessa,Vanessa
Vanessa,Vanessa
Vanessa,Vanessa
You know I love you so

Was That '91?

February 2nd, 2008 + 1:02 PM  ·  BasketCase

I just celebrated my 33rd birthday last Monday...It might have something to do with this...

Was That '91?

Remember when we used to run after dark
acting stupid getting drunk at the park
No one around to tell us right from wrong
the radio playing our favorite songs
It Smells Like Teen Spirit,Vedder feels Alive
Jesus Christ Pose , Axl please Don't Cry
Hush now little baby dont say a word
serenade the world with drunken slur
Old man's sleeping  grab the keys to the car
fill her up try our luck nudie bar
When they check IDs we'll all  see the show
fulfilling our urges until we're asked to go
Heads out the window, the wind in our hair
sixteen years of living free of care
No one around to tell us right from wrong
the radio playing our favorite songs

When we were young
It was so much easier
Just to put our heads down
pretend nothings going on
Now that we've grown
We see things clearer now
Look you dead in those eyes
so our voices will be heard

guitar solo

Hangin at the mall livin at the arcade
cutting class getting high we had it made
No one  around to tell us right from wrong
the radio playing our favorite songs
Teenage angst rebelling in every way
how I miss innocence to this day
No one around to tell us right from wrong
the radio playing our favorite songs

When we were young
It was so much easier
Just to put our heads down
pretend nothings going on    x2
Now that we've grown
We see things clearer now
Look you dead in those eyes
so our voices will be heard

Idiots Guide For Idiots

This is the result of my untitled lyric post. Thanks again Simon and Moses.



      Idiots Guide For Idiots

Another year has come and gone
How I miss your warmth in my arms
The love we burned can't be replaced
A distant memory that I can't escape
You gave me life, what it meant to live
Treasure you always your deep within
What was it you used to say to me?
Should've listened you'd be here with me

It took the end to see
where to begin
The boy you used to know
no longer scared I've got
the strength to love
Maybe these thoughts
show my age

Now that your lesson has been taught
Hope you see that our time wasn't lost
What I am today is because of you
All because of you, you you you

It took the end to see
where to begin
The boy you used to know
no longer scared I've got
the strength to love
Maybe these thoughts
show my age

TV's on I see your face
The skies are crying
It's too late
Why you? It should've been me
For the love of God ! The irony
Lightning strikes
Thunderous clap on my door
I must be dreaming
I fall to the floor
Hand on my shoulder
whisper in my ear
It's OK Dad
Swallow those tears

Mom knew you'd be ready some day
Unfortunate it had to be this way
Together we'll honor her love
She's always watching up above

It took the end to see
where to begin
The boy you used to know
no longer scared I've got
the strength to love
It took the end to see
where to begin
The boy you used to know
no longer scared I've got
the strength to love
Maybe these thoughts
show my age
